THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2; NUMBER 164. 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, Master Newton Knudson, the 8- year-old son of Captain Peter Knud aon had the misfortune to fall off a fence and break his arm yesterday af ternoon. The little fellow was taken to Dr, .1. A. Butts’ office and his arm Was set, and at last accounts he was getting along very well. Inspect Riflemen. The Brunswick Riflemen will be Inspected in their armory tomorrow night by the commanding officer, Capt. A. Robinson. The company will also hold its regular inontly meet ing, which will be an unusually inter esting one. Hancock Goes Dry. Sparta, Ga.„ Augu. I.—Hancock county was voted dry again yesterday by a majority of at least four to one. The election passed off quietly. "One Dose Convinces." Mosleys Lemon BUxer acts gently In the bowels without any unpleasant *eet, It la a perfaot liquid laxative to 'Mitt Vi’ * * to ' M BASEBALL TUESDAY — + — Fitzgerald Coming Down to Try It With the Pilots 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.

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. Member Civic League. 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. REV.

MERCHANTFAVORS A STREET FAIR Thinks Such an Enter tainment Would Help 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. Merchant.
