FAILED 10 OEM
Iff AGREEMENT
►
Railroad Representatives
and Crosstie Merchants
Met Here Yesterday
RATES WILL BE ADVANCED
All Efforts of a Compromise Failed
and the Matter Now Seems to
be Somewhat of a Com
plicated Affair.
The meeting held in this city yester
day between representatives of the
different railroads and the crosstie
merchants was characterised with
anything but harmony, and, as a re
sult, no agreement was reached in
reference to the advance v* crosstie
rates,,, and the matter is now as
far from a settlement as it was a
month ago, when a meeting was held
before the railroad commission in At
lanta.
It will be remembered that at the
meeting in Atlanta it was decided to
have a meeting in Brunswick on
August ltft, at which time it was
thought and hoped that the rairoads
and crosstie merchants would come
together and reach an amicable
agreement, but such was not the case
and all efforts in that direction yes
terday were fruitlless.
The meetings were held in the par
lors of the Oglethorpe hotel and at a
the morning session President Prank
D. Aiken, of the Brunswick board of
trade presided.
The railroad representatives made
the claim that they could see no
good cause why the crosstie mer
chants could not pay the advance
rate; that crossties were practically
the same as lumber, and announced
that they would be compelled to put
the two products on the same freight
rate basis.
The crosstie merchants stated that
crossties were, in no wise, the same
as lumber; was a much cheaper pro
duct, and openly stated that it was
absolutely Impossible for them to pay
the same amount of freight as is
charged on lumber. They further
Btated that if the advance was put
Into effect the crosstie business would
probably have to be discontinued alto
gether. And there the matter stands.
Those present at the meeting were;
James Menzies of the Atlantic Coast
Bine; L. E. Chalenor, of the Seaboard
Air Line; H. C. McFadden, of the
Atlantic & Birmingham; J, A. Mc-
Duffie, of the Brunswick & Birming
ham, on the part of the railroads.
W. M. Toomer, T. L. Crawley and
Leon A. Wilson, representing the cross
tie dealers; President Frank D.
Aiken and Secretary C. D. Ogg, of the
Brunswick board of trade, and Mike
Brown, N. Emanuel and W. B. Cook,
crosstie merchants.
Two or three meetings were held,
but it seemed impossible to bring
about a settlement, and the meeting
adjourned in the afternoon without
a compromise.
The railroads announce that the
present rate, Which is considerably
blow that charged on lumber, will
remain in effect until September 1,
when_they will be compelled to ad
vance it.
Just what will be done in the mat
ter no one present seemed to know,
but it is generally thought that the
matter will now be referred back to
the railroad commission, and some
settlement may be reached before
September first,
A Painful Aeid*nt,

year-old son of Captain Peter Knud

Fitzgerald Coming Down

QUITMAN CANCELS DATES
Club of That City Disbands and Will
Not be Here for Games on
Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
Local fans will, in all probability,
have the opportunity of witnessing
a ball game Tuesday afternoon be
tween the Pilots and the crack Fitz
gerald team.
Manager Coleman received a tele
gram from the club yesterday morn
ing stating that they could come
down on the excursion over the A. &
B. and play a game if the locals had
nogame on for that day. Manager
Coleman immediately replied, telling
them to come. He has not furtner
heard from them, but it is expected
that they will be here for a game
Tuesday afternoon.
Manager Coleman also received a
letter from Quitman yesterday, an
nouncing that the team of that city
had disbanded and therefore would
have to cancel the games booked here
for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
This is to be regretted as the fans
generally were taking considerable in
terest in the games between the Pi
lots and the Quitman aggregation.
It is probable, however, that some
other team will be secured for these
dates, as Mr. Coleman at once wrote
to a number of clubs in the state and
expects to be able to book one of them
for three game.
Brunswick fans are huugry for some
more games, and no matter what
team comes a large crowd will be out
to witness the games.
However, the Pilots are putting in
some good practice during the time
that there are no games, and the team
will be in good shape for tire next con
test.
HAVING A BIG MEETING,
American Federation of Catholic So
cieties Holding their Convention.
Atlantic City, > T . J., August I.
The large and representative charac
ter of the attendance at the opening
today of the third national convention
of the American Federation of Catho
lic societies was sucli as to give pleas
ure to Bishor Mc-Faul of Trenton and
the other eminent members of the
church who have labored ittsessafitly
for several years to bring about a
working union among the great Cath
olic organizations of America, When
the convention was formally opened ;
this morning there were present ac
credited delegates from state federa
tions throughout the country.
Ohio, where the movement has
gained the strongest foothold, was
represented by several hundred dele
gates, while Indiana, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and numer
ous other states had members in at*
tendance.
In addition to these delegations
there were present more than two
score archbishops and bishops of tlie
church and the representative char
acter of the gathering was further ae>
centuated by the presence of dele
gates from several Indian tribes and
Porto Rican societies and from the
Centro-Cattolico of the Philippines.
Asa preliminary to the convention
the delegates marched in a body to St.
Nicholas church, where solemn porn
tittcal services were held, Afterward
the businesss sessions were begun in

WADIES HAVE A COMPLAINT.
Protest Against Horses Tramping en
their Flowers.
Editor News:—
Tiie civic league is endeavoring to
beautify the city: the ladies have sue*
ceeded in making a very pretty place
out of Jekyl square near the court
house,
There they have planted pretty flow *
ers, etc., which are growing very
nicely, but I notice of late, that sever
al horses and cows have been tramp*
ing on the square and have mashed
many of the flowers.
This should certainly be stopped,
and the owners of the horses and cows
should keep them penned up, or the
cow catcher should impound them be
fore they get on the square.
The ladies intend doing a good work;
are taking a civic pride in the city,
and the people generally should ren
der them all the assistance possible.

WILL BE A
BUSY WEEK
Legislature is to Meet
Three Times Daily
Hereafter
ONLY NINE MORE DAYS
Over Three Hundred Bills are on Cal
endar Which Will Never be
Reached—Ninety for
Third Reading.
Afternoon and night sessions, as
well as morning sessions of the house
of representatives will be held be
ginning Monday and continuing until
the close of the session on August
12th. The house will get down to the
real work next week, and will dis
pose of as many bills as possible be
tween then and the time for ad
journment.
Never before in the history of the
house has there been such a rush of
business. The clerks are kept busy
looking after the numerous bills, and
it was absolutely necessary to have
three sessions a day in order to geC
through. The morning sessions will
he given over to general measures,
while the al'ternon and night sessions
will be devoted to local hills and
reading measures the second time.
Only nine more days of the present
legislative session remain and in that
time the house is expected to dispose
of more than three hundred bills
which aire now on the calendar await
ing action. More than ninety bills of
a general nature are now awaiiting
action, according to the calendar
which was prepared by Clerk John T.
Boifeullet Friday morning. The number
does not include bills for the second
reading which are piled high upon
the clerk's desk and which will never
be reached.
Very little work has been accom
plished so far this season and it is
expected that the house will adjourn
without having passed more than one
or two bills of a general nature. For
or other the house has
been tfcrgjjfetKnu the year,
while the senate, as usual, has been
far ahead with Its work,
Atlanta, (ia., Aug, I.—lt is hardly
probable that the bill allowing the
recorder of the city of Atlanta to
send youthful criminals to the county
reformatory without a trial in the
state curts will he passed this year,
as the city council and the county
commissioners of Fulton county are
badly split up over the measure,
Tbe bill was passed early in the
session and had gone to the governor
for approval, but was recalled by the
house for changes to be made. It Is
now being held up peuding a com
promise between the city and county
authorities.
The measure has attracted al! sorts
of attention in local circles, The ar
gument of the commiissioners against
the bill is that it would allow the
recorder to sentence boys and girls
under age to the reformatory for a
short term of service when they can
not be reformed within that time.
The time of the session is rapidly
drawing to a close and it is not
thought that the legislature will have
the time to take up the question of
the reformatory now.

A STREET FAIR
Thinks Such an Enter

Our City
URGES CITIZENS TO ACT
Thinks a Fair Here This Fall Will be
a Drawing Card in This Sec
tion of the State a
Great SuccjP’k
Editor News:
I noticed witli much interest the
article in your paper this morning
to the effect that the merchants and
others of the city were considering t he
advisability of having a street fair
here during the coming fall, and 1 am
heartily in favor of t he movement and
certainly hope it will materialize.
There is nothing that, advertises a
city more than a street fair, or a fair
of any kind. Brunswick, as you stat
ed in your article, now has anew ter
ritory from which the visitors will
come, and I believe that a street fair
will prove a drawing card to the peo
ple generally in this section of the
state.
Let's get to work immediately. Let
the merchants call a genera! meeting
at the city hall in a short time, elect
officers and appoint committees and
commence at once.
There is no doubt but that we could
have a fair that would be success in
every respect. Ileinember the first
tail’ we had here a few years ago.
People came from all over the state,
aud it was pronounced by all to be one
of the best ever given in tiie state. The
following year we waited until the
hot weather set in: people lost inter
est, and the second fair was not so
much a success.
A street fair will be the best of
them akl, and I sincerely hope our
people will get togeher at once and
make preliminary arrangements for
such an entertaiment this fall.
