MEETING HELD
Bf LUMBERMEN
To Discuss Higher Wages
Demanded By the
Laborers
NO DECISION IS REACHED
Just What Will be the Final Result
Cannot be Foretold, But Efforts
Will be Made to Settle
Difference.
A meeting was held at the city hall
yesterday morning at 11:30 o'clock by
tJhe lumber merchants of the city for
the purpose of discussing the advance
in wages: asked for by the labor
union of the city. Every lumber firm
in the city was represented. Mr. N.
Emanuel acted as chairman and Mr.
W. B. Cook as secretary.
The proposed demand for a raise
was discussed at length by those pres
ent. Nearly every representative
there had something to say on the
subject, but no definite decision was
reached and the matter still stands
unsettled and just what will be the
result cannot be foretold at this time.
The situation at present is in
deed a serious one, and one that the
people of Brunswick should assist in
a settlement if possible. The situa
tin is just this:
The laborers on the wharves gen
erally demand a raise of 2 1-2 cents
from the stevedores. If the advance
is granted by the stevedores tille re
sult will be that the lumber merchants
will be the ones to suffer. The lum
ber merchants claim that it is almost
impossible to grant the raise at this
time; they claim that, on the average
the Brunswick dock laborer is paid
as woli as tijiosc in Fernandina, Jack
sonville, Savannah and ports,
and to increase the pay at present
would mean considerable to
fact more than they can really stand.
A News reporter yesterday en
deavored to secure some facts on the
matter, and lumbermen, stevedores
and workmen wore all seen and given
an opportunity to make their claims
for publication.
It seems that the laborers in Bruns
wick who work "in the hold” are paid
as much, and in fact more than those
who are employed likewise in other
ports' On the other hand, those who
work o’n the outside of vessels, that
is, the laborers who are employed to
handle lumber on the wharves, etc.,
are paid probably a little loss than
those of other ports and therefore,
the average is about the same.
But the workers on the outside are
■not the only ones demanding a raise.
All workers, inside and out. are de
manding an increase of 2 1-2 cents per
hour. But from what the reporter
learned, the men in the hold are only
asking an Increase to assist their fel
low-workmen.
At any rate the situation is quite
a serious one. and everything possible
is being done to bring about an amic
able agreement before September 15,
the time that the increase is de
manded.
The Brunswick lumber merchant,
stevedore and laborers have, as a rule,
had but little trouble in the past. On
the other hand, they have done busi
ness with each other in a satisfactory
manner, and it is to bo earnestly
hoped that this difference will be
settled.
The News feels that the labor
union and the lumber merchants will
do what’they think is right, and it is
believed that the matter will, in some
way, he settled.

MANY FREE SCHOLARSHIPS.
Ninety-five Have Been Given for The
State Normal School.
Athens, Ga„ Aug. 1#. —The work of
securing free scholarships for the
State Normal school for the coming
session has been going on steadily for
the past few months and has been
crowned with success. Already there
have been given by generous ’ Geor
gians ninety-five of these S3O scholar
ships, each of which enables a teacher,
who has $47 to add to it, to get a
full ten months’ session at the nor
mal school, all expenses paid, of what
ever nature.
Five more scholarships have to be
secured and Alien the, general educa
tion board puts up the money for an
ther 100 to duplicate those given by
the people of the state. That will
give the school at least 200 of these
scholarships, and thereby may be still
others offered.
Last year there was collected for
scholarships from the people of Geor
gia and from the general education
board the sum of $10,666.65, of which
sum $10,277.55 was spent in. defraying
the expenses of worthy young men
and young women, amf there is now
in the hank to the credit of this fund
the sum of $390,10.
PLACE FOR NEGRO
IS IN THE SOUTH
Council Says the Only Place for His
Race is in This Section of the
Country.
Birmingham, Aug. 10. —Prof. YV. H.
Council, principal of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college for negroes at
Normal, Alabama, .who was in Birm
ingham yesterday gave out the fol
lowing interview;
There is a crisis at hand for the ne
gro race in America. 1 am not sur
prised at the evidences of antagonism
to the negro in certain sections of the
north which, have recently been ex
hibited, in fact, 1 have long predicted
that such. antagonism would arise
there, because more people do not
rightly know tile negro and* aro fess
disposed to deal justly tharn are the
people of the south.
"I have always he’d that ilhe south
was the negro's rightful home, that
here he had greater opportunities for
building himself up than any where
else, and every day only the more
thoroughly eonvirifees me of the truth
of this, inii he must he brought to
know that he can maintain himself
only along lines of honesty, industry
aind helpfulness to those around him.
The south possesses in the negro race
the best and fost tractable labor
element in the world, and every in
terest demands that this fact should
be known and appreciated by both
white and black alike.”
To Contest Leo’s Will.
iliiome. Aug. 10.—Something of a
sensation has beer, caused by the atti
tude of the late pope’s newest relative
—the son f his elder brother— who
declares his intention to contest the
dead pontiff's will. He calls himself
t>impiy M. Peoci,. djisfreganJjing his
title as count and declaring that titles
are only fit for vain people. He is in
poor circumstances and earns this liv
ing by selling coals and doing poach
ing. It seems that the new nephew
attempted to see liis uncle beSore
he died, was forcibly ejected from the
Vatican. He now avers that he in
tends, together with his lawyer, to
make a fight for his rights. He is
going, hie says, to die of hunger, and
against the express wish of the late
}i‘6pe. will contest the will, because he
maintains that, the money of the de
ceased pope belongs not to the church'
but to the pope’s own family.
Freight Car Famine.
Chicago, Aug. 10. —So great and
constant is the demand from shippers
for cars, that conditions have develop
ed which seem to justify the conclu
sion that the shortage of equipment
will probably continue indefinitely. An
actual car famine has practically al
ready begun, and unless sthere is un
expected improvemnt, a repetition of
last winter’s experience, when the the
high tide of activity arrives, appears
Inevitable, not withstanding the nnum
ber of new rolling stock and increased
yard ficiities acquired since then by
the various roads. In a large measure
this, ejr’y shortage is due to the
large grain movement that was de
layed by the extraordinary amount
of freight which had. to he disposed of
earlier In the season.

Organization.
The Junior Order of American Me

Martin, of Griffin, who came to pay
the first official visit to the order. !
The meeting was an Interesting and
enthusiastic one, and showed that
since it was organized a large number
of new members had joined, and the

the city.
Mr. Martin was well pleased with
the rapid grow till oC the order in
Brunswick nnd in his address last
night he complimented those at the
head of the organization for the ex
cellent good that has been accomplish
ed. His talk to the members was an
instructive and thoroughly interesting
one.
Addresses were also made by Na
tional Organizer B. L. Lydon, of the
National Camp Patriotic Order Sons
of America; J. M. Bryan, .1. K. Cor
nelius, W. W. Morley and other morn
berrs of the local organization, and

A GIANT LOCOMOTIVE.
The Baltimore and Ohio Having Plans
Made for a Monster Engine.
Baltimore, Aug. 10. —The Baltimore
and Ohio railroad is having plans
prepared for a giant locomotive to
be used on tne heavy mountain grades
as a helper. The authoritative in
formation was obtained at the Balti
more and Ohio general building;
‘'DfcV>g®3 are under consideration
for a nartieulated locomotive of extra
large size. No contract has been
awarded, as all the details have not
been worked out definitely. All that
can be said is that the new locomo
tive will weigh 150 tons, with steam
pressure of 235 pounds to the square
inch, and will have pairs of driving
wheels, or 14 wheels in all.”
This, it is believed, will be the
locomotive in service on any
eastern road. The largest one in ser
vice on the Baltimore and Ohio weighs
193,000 pounds and carries 205 pounds
of steam pressure to the square inch.
The explari.atjon lof an articulated
locomotive is that it is of jointed
Bontetructjon sandj accommodates it
self to the curvature of the track in
stead of being rigid.
Muscogee Opposes It.
Columbus, Ga., Aug. 10. —Recently
the Muscogee county school board
adopted text books for use in this
county for the next five years, be
ginning January 1, 1904, and signeu
contracts with the publishing houses
It is the impression that these con
tracts will stand, notwithstanding the
fact that the uniform text book bill
has passed the legislature, and thus,
in a text book way, Muscogee county
will be independent for five years
longer. The school authorities and
people of the county are very much
opposed to the state niuformity, and
there is gratification that the county
school board exercised the privilege
of selecting the books for the county
up to the last moment.

THE LUMBER TRADE.
Item of Interest from The American
Lumberman.
Following is from the Brunswick
correspondent of ti’ie American Lffisr
berniao:
■a ...
The railroad and the cross tie In
terest represented by producers, ship
pers and buyers have failed to coni
summate any agreement on the freight
rate situation. As an outcome of the
appearance of both sides before tin'
state railroad commission a few weeks
age a•conference of both was agreed
upon to be held in Brunswick on Au
gust 1. It is to be remembered the
railroads advanced the cross tie rale
from a special classification' to the
regular lumber list. This was fought
by the tie peo| le. who considered the
new rate unjust, and that it would
make their business unprofitable. An
appeal to the commission followed
but at that time both sides agreed
for a general conference, which was
held hero last Saturday. Among those
present were James Menzips, of the
Atlantic Coast Line; 1.. E. Chalenor,
of the Seaboard Air Line; 11. C. Me-
Fadden, of the Atlantic & Birming
ham ; J. A. McDuffie, of the Brunswick
& Birmingham, on the part, of the
railroads; W. M. Toomer, T. L. Craw
ley and Leon A. Wilson, representing
the cross tie dealerss; President
Frank D. Aiken and Secretary C. D.
Ogg, of the Brunswick board of trade,
and Mike Brown, N. Emanuel and \V\
B. Ooyk, cross tie merchants.
Several adjourned meetings were
held during OY* day, but absolteuly
nothing was gafd'd by the tie people.
The railroads stuck to the proposition
that the tie industry hud developed
to such proportion l - that it did not any
longer require the inducement of a
love rate to assist it , and that as all
kinds of timber and lumber had ad
vanced in price and the transportation
had advanced in cost it was neces
sary to advance the freight in justice
to their own welfare. This position
was contested on the ground that Hie
tie industry has brought into
the market scattered timber tracts
of singnificant size and while such
timber has been secured cheaply in
many instances still the cost of labor
and hauling to railroad lines for ship
ment has caused a seeming profit to
disappear; that because of the ad van
ced rate it will lie impossible to cut
such timber for ties, and it. is out ol
the question lo manufacture such
scattered timber; that ttic result will
be losses upon those who will have
to continue in the business by virtue
contracts already closed. Notwith
standing this contest th< roads an
nounce that the now rate the lumber
rate on ties —will go into effect on
September 1. Probably the matter will
be taken again to tlibo state railroad
commission for its conclusions.

VISITOR ROBBED
BE RIB FRIENDS
Excursionist Relieved of
SBO in Cash and His
Watch
SLEPT EOR SEVERAL HOURS
When His Slumber Was Over He Dis
covered That He Had Been
Badly Dealt With by His
Excursion Friends.
"These yer folks done got my *su
in money, my solid gold watch and a
gold chain which b’long to pa. I
liaint know whar thay gone, who (bar
gone with, or which away thar went,
but thay all shore gone, shore is!”
So spoke a young man who slopped
in The News office about 2 o’clock
this morning, giving his najne as John
Hightower and says he hails from a
small station on the Atlantic Coast
fane, between Tifieri and Albany.
The man told his story to the city
editor with tears in his eyes, and
seemed to keenly feel his loss.
He arrived in the city last night on
the excursion, and says after leaving
the train he went away with a crowd
who he met on route here.
“We drunk a few bottles of ling
wiser, and then tried a little some
thing the bar man didled mint Jupiter
—dat’s all 1 recollect. Next thing I
knowed 1 waked up in a loi twixt yer
and the water station. I doesn’t know
how long I bin thar, but i calculate
considerable time."
After the News man heard the story
of the unfortunate visitor, he informed
him to notify the police.
"Does the policeman in Brunswick
war soldier clothes. 1 seed one fellow
down the street witli a big star on, but
pot police clothes, so 1 don’t know
whether he was a policeman or not."
He was then directed to the police
station and loft the office, thanking
the reporter for the information.
It is not thought that the man was
robbed by any one in Brunswick, as
be stated that he left the train with
a strange crowd and began drinking.
The reporter learns that Hie man
never succeeded in finding the police
station and has not been seen since
leaving this office.

of lobbying against him are well
known:

"Bditor (Institution: I see in the

TWO MORE DAYS
FOR LEGISLATURE
Much Work Is Yet Before the Solons
and the Last Few Sessionh Will
Be Interesti/ig.
Atlanta, Ang. JO—The two remain
iug days of the legislative session
will not dou,hi lie hard working days,
the main matters of Interest being the
settlement of the convict question and
the report of tiie lobby investigating
committee.
The house lias passed the Inst bill
originating in that body that can go
through the senate at the present ses
sion, and it lias now only to deal with
senate Hills, measures from the upper
house, which have been piling up, amd
to which,, up to the present time, the
house has given no attention
It is usually the way that action on
senate hills is postponed unlil the last
minute, particularly if the house has
a full calendar, and this year tljpre
have been more house hills than have
ever appeared before within the recol
lotion of any one of Whose connected
with the former legislature. The re
suit is senate bills have had to wait,
and tly're lias been no little complaint
from members of the upper house on
this ground. But they will go through
with a rush during the next throe
days, since Where Is nothing now to
interfere with them.
Among the senate measures are sev
eral important constintinnal amend
ments, which, if they are to be sub
minted to the people at the next elec
tion, must be passed at tills session
in ordyu- to lie advertised the requisite
length of lime.
One of those is the bill limiting the
tax rate to live mills, which will prob
ably be considered at. a special order
tomorrow. Bulb bodies originally
passed a bill of tthls kind, iiy Mr Tig
ner, of Muscogee, lint II was returned
by tli" Governor for the correction of
what was considered an error Mr.
Tiguer did not consider there was any
error in Urn bill, but in the interests
of time welcomed the passage of the
senate bill in order that legislation
might lie had on the subject at tho
present session.
It is quite certain Hie house will
amend the bill so as to limit the tax
rate to live mills for all purposes, in
cluding tiiie sinking fund, which is not
inclu;<led in that amount iq the senato
bill.
Another important constitutional
amendment bill which has passed the
senate Is that of providing for a court
of appeals consisting of five judges.
This has been known as a measure for
the relief of the supreme court, hut. a
member of Hie house designated It the
other day. "A bill for H e relief of the
people of Georgia.”
A resolution has been offered look
ing to Inviting former Chief Justice
Logan U. Illeckley to address the
house relative to this bill, occupying
Hie lime allotted to tin- chairman of
the committee making the favorable
report. It Is probable this resolution
will be passed today.
Another interesting senate bill Is
that increasing the tnlarles of judges
of the Ruprcnne court to $4,000, anil
of judges of the superior courts to
$3,000 a year. This measure has r
reived a favorable, report from the
general judiciary committee of the
house, and there Is strong probability
of its passage.

HI IS BEING BOOMED
Old Soldier Element in the Republi

Gen. Miles Forward Because
of His Treatment.
Boston, Aug. in.- -A Miles presiden
tial boom tins been started by prom
inent republicans here, particularly
Hie old soldier element, wlfio are of the
belief that President Roosevelt, In per
mitting Miles to retire from the army
without oven reference to General
Miles’ distinguished 'Service to his
country, has placed Miles as a presi
dential possibility that Roosevelt
should tic made to reckon with.
II is regarded as a stigma that will
stick to President Roosevelt and au
outrage that the Grand Army of the
Republic is not going to forget.
Around tllio leading hotels, clubs and
political resorts the affront to Miles
is the theme of constant discussion.
Men close to Hay State republican
leaders acknowledge the conviction
that General Miles is a strong prob
ability as a presidential nominee.
Miles is expected to make Ids home la

How Roosevelt Snubbed Miles.
(Washington, Aug. 10.—Secretary
Root lias always had the greatest ad
miration for General Miles as a sol
dier |uid had matters been left in Mr.
Root's hands tlie general would have
retired with flying colors instead of
with- an unprecedented snub.
Mr. Root, wanted General Miles to
have the honor of being tlihe last com
manding general of the army, as con
gress intended, and a week ago issued
an order which clearly Indicated that
the command was to he discontinued.
At tie- same time he prepared a fare
well letter to General Miles, which
was of the most laudatory type.
Mr. Root took the matter up to Oys
ter Bay and submitted it to the presi
lient. Mr. Roosevelt tore up the let
ter ami ordered llimt a retirement let
ter of the culdestand most formal stylo
be issued and that General'Young be
'appointed to tile command of the
army for six days, so that General
Miles would be deprived of the honor
Which congress intended him to have.
in tile past il has been l the custom
<>f Hie president of the United Slates
himsell to issue an order announcing
Wue retfirement of the commanding
general of the army and at the same
time calling attention to his honor
able service, etc. President Cleve
land issued such an order when Lieu
tenant General Schofield, Miles' pre
decessor in command, retired in 1596.
The same tiling was dune on other
similar occasions.
Kverybody in Washington in dis
cussing the matter and on all sides
il was agreed that the president had
gone out of Ids way to administer a
parting snub to General Miles. Peo
ple iu Washington lhave known that
the president bated Miles, but it was
not believed that the chief executive
would take occasion lo show it so
plainly.
