WAYCROSS
NOT COMING
Manager Coieman Having
Hard Time Securing
Games
QUITMAAI HERE NEXT WEEK
Srong Aggregation Will be Here for
Three Games—Savannah C. L. A.
Team is Afraid of The
V Pilots.
Manager Coleman Is having some
what of a hard time to secure ball
terns, and the fans will probably have
to wait until next week to see some
games.
As was stated yesterday, Mr. Cole
man has been in communication with
Cordele and Fitzgerald, but both of
these clubs notified hiim yesterday that
they could not come.
Manager Coleman then telephoned
Waycross and the team of that city,
which lias been reorganized and great
ly strengthened, said they would come
for three games, today, Friday and
Saturday, but late lat night the man
ager telephoned that the team could
not come and therci’ore we will hardly
have any games this week, unless
some other team cfa be secured for
games tomorrow end Saturday.
■•lt is no fault of Manager Coleman,
however, that games have not been
secured, as he has made every effort
possible to secure a team for this
week.
The Catholic Library Association
team of Savannah has again cancelled
their dates for Friday and Saturday of
next week. Manager Coleman re
ceived a letter from the manager of
the club yesterday stating that the
team could not come, but no reason
whatever was given. This makes the
third time that the C. L. A. team has
made dates with the Pilots and then
cancelled them, and Manager Coleman
will not again endeavor to get them.
The truth of the matter is, the Pilots
have already defeated every Savannah
team except this one, and the C. L.
A. boys are simply afraid that they
will meet the same fate should they
come over.
For Thursday, Friday and Saturday
•of next week the crack Quitman team
will be here. Quitman was a member
of the Southeastern League and has
one of the best clubs in this section,
and the games will no doubt be among
the most interesting of the season.
Grimes, the new twirler recently
booked by Manager Coleman, is now
in the city and will he seen on the
firing line during the next series,
Grimes is the gentleman who shut
the Pilots out in the first game with
Cordele.
In a game at Fort Valley Tuesday
the team of that city and Cordele
played a twelve inning game, neither
of the teams scoring,
It is probable that the Pilots will
go away for a few games next month.
Several teams have asked for games,
A PROMINENT VISITOR.
Land and Industrial Agent of Seaboard
A[r Line Here.
.T. W. White, land and industrial
agent, of the S. A. L., headquarters
at Portsmouth, Va., arrived in the
city yesterday,'and spent the after
noon in taking a look at the magnifi
cent water front, and the other at
tractions of tire city generally. Du
ring the afternoon lie was taken for a
drive over the city, and was shown the
many points of interest incident to
the best appointed seaport on the
South Atlantic coast. He will emain
in the city today and will be tendered
atrip to St. Simon, which will afford
him a better view of the outside har
bor, the quarantine, and other inter
esting features of the port.
Mr. White was a caller at the News
office last night, and talks very inter
estingly of this city and her future.
He seems to have been impressed with
Brunswick, and says lie is coming to
see us again.
Mr, White is comparatively a young
man to be in such a very responsible
position, but he is certainly “on to his
job,” as it were, and is thoroughly
posted on all of the great industrial
matters not on!, with his own line,
but as regards the country generally.

ACCIDENT
TO HESSIE
Little Steamer Had a
Mishap on Return
Trip Tuesday
PROPELLER SHAFT BROKEN
•
And the Boat Did Not Reach Port
Until Early Hour Yesterday
Morning—ls Now on
Run /tgain.
The Steamer llessie No. 2 met with
quite a serious accident oil her return
trip to the city Tuesday, and as a re
sult the steamer did not reach the
port until an early hour yesterday
morning.
It seems that the propeller shaft
went-wrong ill some way, and it was
almost impossible for the boat to move
at ail, but, as stated above, sbe suc
ceeded in reaching port about one
o’clock yesterday morning.
Outside of the delay no damage re
sulted, and the little passenger steam
er was at once repaired and is now on
her run as usual. Just what caused
the break down is not known, but it
was quite a serious one.
WOMAN HUGGER STONED.
Fellow Would Have Been Lynched but
for Arrival of Officers.
WJeeling, Wi. Va., July 28. —But for
the timely arrival of policemen, John
Posteoh, a Hungarian steel worker,
would have been strung up by an En
raged mob on Wheeling island to
night. John Posteo’to, who was drunk,
caught in his arms and embraced a
well-known and respected lady resid
ing on the inland as she was return
ing home over the steel bridge, un
escorted, late in the evening. The
woman’s cries wersP*quickly answered
by citizens, who rushed from their
homes. Thie man took to' his heels,
pursued by a crowd which was in
creased every minute.
When the mob drew close to the
foreigner he wheeled and drew a dirk
fully 12 inches in length, and held the
mob at bay for some time. A cobble
stone hurled the knife out of the man’s
hand, while another struck him on the
head and knocked him down. Stone
after stone was rained upoi Lite un
conscious wretch in rapid succession,
and a rope was quickly sent for by
the now thoroughly aroused citizens,
who were until that time under the
impression that a criminal assault had
been committed.
Vengeance had been decided on,
and a convenient shade tree picked
out, when a force of policemen ar
rived upon the scene and rescued the
cringing wretch from the mob’s hands.
He was badly used up, and is in a
serious condition.
HAS BEEN THE BEST SEASON.
Manager Jacobi Pleased with Business
at Cumberland.
Manager J. L. Jacobi, of the Hotel
Cumberland, who has been in the city
during the week, says tiie present sea
son has been the best in the history of
Cumberland, and the popular resort
lias been crowded with people since it
opened,
“The season is by no means over,’ 1
said Mr, Jacobi. “A number of large
parties from Macon, Atlanta and
Chattanooga will be down next month,
and I will entertain as many guests
during August as'l have this month."
Mr. Jacobi says the people'seem to re
alize that Cumberland is.the best resort
on the South Atlantic coast, and they
have been coming down in large num
bers all the summer,
In this connection it might be st ated
that every visitor to Cumberland has
had a good word to say for the popular
manager of the hotel, and they ail an
nounce that they will surely return
next year,

BRUNSWICK. GA„ THURSDAY MORNING. JULY 30, 1903.
IN FAVOR
OF EXHIBIT
Dunbar Resolution Has
Chance of Passing
the House
GEORGIA A1 ST. LOUIS LAIR
Vote Reporting It Favorably to th#
House Tuesday Stood 70 to 44
—Eighteen More Votes are
Now Reequired.
The following from the Atlanta Con
stitution will be of interiiat to our
readers generally:
The indications are that the house
strongly favors making an appropria
tion for an exhibit of Georgia's re
sources at tine Louisiana Purchase ex
position to be held next year at St.
Louis.
The Dunbar resolution making an
appropriation of $50,000 for the pur
pose of making un exhibit of Georgia's
agricultural ami kindred resources on
thi* occassion came up as the special
order in the house at the afternoon
session yesterday, it came from the
commute on appropriations with a
favorable report.
The resolution was discussed until
shortly before 5 o’clock, that being the
hour of adjournment, the discussion
being in committee of the whole. The
committee voted to report the resolu
tion favorably to the house by 70t044.
it needed eighteen more votes, how
vreeei.taaaal
ever, to pass it, and it was apparent
that they would not be forcoming at
that session. An effort to adjourn
failed and then Mr. Grice, of Pulaski,
talked until the hour ot' adjournment,
thus carrying the matter over uttil
this morning when the vote will be
taken.
Mr. Dunbar is Heard.
Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, said this
resolution proposed to appropriatesso,-
Odo directly from the state treasury
to be used \if the governor and the
comudssior.ier of agriculture in mak
ing an exhibit of Georgia’s agricultural
and kindred resources at the St. Louis
exposition.
Upon the constitutionality of the ap
propriation, Mr, Dunbar said the agri
cultural department had been" estab
lished for certain specific purposes.
The objects of the department were
to advance the agricultural and in
dustrial interests of the state, ho
said, and to encourage immigration
to the state. The making of such an
exhibit as this is designed to bring
home seekers and investors into the
state, and if the other laws relating
to the agricultural department, which
have been passed on this subject, are
legal and constitutional, then this ap
propriation will be so.
Mr. Dunbar read extracts from Gov
ernor Candler’s message to the legis
lature in which he expressed the view
that such an appropriation w<_uld be
i eveiry wtay constitutional. The
constitution says the legislature may
levy and collect taxes for the sapport
of the state government and the public
institutions. The agricuturai depart
ment, Mr. Dunbar said, is one of the
public institutions, and the making
of such an exhibit as this proposes is
one of the functions of that depart
ment. That section of the constitution
was the one upon wiiich the advo
cates of the resolution relied, Mr,
Dunbar said.
Georgia should not he a laggard at
this exposition, he said, and in this
matter the legislature should look
rather to the spirit of the constitution
than to the dead, cold letter of it.
Mr, Dunbar read a letter from Judge
Spencer K.Atkinson, formerly associate
justice of the supreme court, giving it
as his opinion that there was no con
stitutional objection to making an ap
propriaticn lor this purpose.

MALLORY’S
NEW AGENT
Well Known Steamship
Line Names Atlanta
Man for Place
IS AFTER NEW BUSINESS
C. T. Airey will Aitume Charge of the
Office in Atlanta Saturday—
. He is a Very Capable
v v Man.
The following Is taken from the At
lanta Journal of Tuesday:
The announcement has just been
made by the New York and Texas
Steamship company, more familiarly
known as the Mallory Line, of the
appointment of Mr. C. T. Airey as
general agent in Atlanta, effective Au
gust Ist. This announcement carries
with it very general interest both in
local railroad anil commerical circles
throughout the south and middle west,
which territory the Mallory Line will
aggressively invade for business.
Mr. Airey has represented the Mo
bile and Ohio railroad here for the
past live years, his former service hav
ing been with the Southern railway
in both transportation and traffic ca
pacity. He will have with his new
company jurisdiction over all interior
traffic which muves through Bruns
wick and Mobile, and has an extended
acquaintance throughout the territory,-,
which exceptionally well equips him
tor the representation which has fal
len to him, and to his many friends
it is especially pleasing that to his
changed business relations his head
quarters will remain in Atlanta, office
411 Equitable building. He will have
associated with him three traveling
agents, whose appointment will lie
announced later,
The fact that the Mallory Line, In
the division of their interest in other
states, has given such prominence to
Brunswick and Ihe upbuilding of this
Georgia port gives the Mallory Line
much local importance. For many
years, iu addition to their New York-
Galvestun line, they have maintained
a regular serlce through Brunswick,
and appreciating the splendid oppor
tunity of a further extension of their
interests in the south, recently in
augurated a service between New
York and Mobile. Their present fiewt
consists of twelve steamships, thus
placing them foremost among the
coastwise steamship companies oper
ating on an American coast.

observances, it Is estimated that
100,000 strangers visited the tomb of
King Humbert in the Partbeon during
the day. The pilgrimage of the Par
theon occurred at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. Owing to the unusual uum
ber of strangers now in Rome and the
latent though none the less deep po
litical and religious feeling prevailing
alt ciaeses of society on account of the
papal conclave the government took
extraordinary precautions Pi prevent
any unseemly demonstration. For th
same reasons of state tha memorial
exercises wer* curtailed with a view
to attracting less attention. The pro
cession to the antheon was composed
of delegations from all tli* Italian
provinces. The pilgrims Iliad in pro
cession past the vault containing the

Interview with the Might
iest Cardinal of the
Church
I AIKS OF IHf SirtIAIION
If Rampolla’s Chances Do Not Improve
by Second Ballot He IS Practically
Sure to Withdraw
for Place.
Home, July 29,-The following state
ment is from a high authority in the
Catholic church and represents fully
the attitude of the cardinals toward*
Rainpolla:
Cardinal Hampolla is the mightiest
man in the Roman church since l_e o 'a
life, but that lie will achieve at the
coming conclave the ambition of his
life, the throne of St. Peter, is im
probable. Should lie r.ee uo chance
of success he w.i, on the first day,
WH>n the votes of the conclave are
recorded in the sistine, there may he
six or eight in favor of Rainpolla aside
from the American vote, but it takes
two-thirds of ihe total number to effect
an election.
The votes are recorded twice each
day, mornings and evenings, and if
his chances do not improve by night,
Hampolla is practically sure to -with
draw in favor of Angelic Di Pietro
prefeett of the council and a cardinal
since 1893.
Hi Pietro is a maan after Ratupol
la s heart, and It Is not. impossible
that lie may succeed where Hampolla
fails.
Di Pietro’s election would moan a
continuance of Rampolla’s policy,
init the very prospect may Ho ratal

"Hampolla is today the most in

dictator in his sphere of influence.
