THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2; NUMBER 176. MCRAE MS 10 PLAT PILOTS The Club May Go Up There This Week BACK FROM SAVANNAH Members of The Team Say They Were Treated Well in The Forest City. The Brunswick Pilots returned yes terday from Savannah, where they crossed hots with the Y. M. C. A. team of that city Thursday and Fri day. The Hoys all report a pleasant trip while in the Forest City and are high in their praise of the treatment accorded them by the members of the team in Savannah. They were shown every attention possible by the Y. M. C. A. team, who did everything to make the trip a pleasant one. Among the entertainments arrang ed was a trip to Thunderbolt Thurs day night, and a majority of the Brunswick boys went out and spent a very pleasant evening as guests of the Y. M. C. A. While the Pilots split even in the two games of ball, they are not yet satisfied, and say that the Savannah team had no license to win either game, it must be stated, however, that the defeat of the locals Thursday was due solely to the excellent pitch ing of Harmon, of the Y. M. C. A. team Our boys were unable to con nect with his speedy benders, anu only one safe hit did they secure. Walker also pitched an excellent game, and while seven hits were se cured, they were wed scattered anu would have counted for naught had the Pilots given him proper support. In the-,, second game Grimes was too much lor the Ounstians, and only two measeley hit's were secured. The Pilots and the Y. JVi. 0. A. have now played four games, each winning two, and it is probable that another senes will be arranged to be played in Brunwsick as soon as possible. The Y. M. C. A. boys are a clever set, and the Pilots like to play ball With such gentlemen, and should they come here lor games, everything possible will be done to make them lenjoy Ihe trip, except, possibly, a victory in the ball games. Base Bail Notes, The Mcßae ciuo is anxious for the Pilots to come up there for three games next week and has wired Man ager Coleman that they would like to have the Brunswick team next Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday, The Pilots have not decided whether 01 not they can go, The Port Screven team will prob ably return here tor games on Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, August 27, 38 and 29- The soldier team has been here once already this year and were defeated three straight games, but u is a good l,eam. nevertheless, and will draw good crowds. Brewer's steal home in Savannah Saturday was one of the most sensa tional plays ever witnessed by Sa vannah tans. He simiply watched ins chance and came down the third base line at a two-forty gait, collided with tne catcher, and when the dust, iiau cleared away he had scored while a man on second had advanced to thiru, and the Y, M. G. A, team were won dering how it happened. By the way, this was the iast and winning run scored during the game. MUCH FAVORABLE COMMENT. Papers Speak in Highest Terms ot Brobston’s Speech.

The thunder and lightning storm yesterday afternoon alarmed many of our citizens and many of the super- I stitious ones were sure that the pre dicted storm had arrived and was sure coming before nightfall.

LEGISLATION HID SOMEGOOD WORK + Brief Review of the Work of the General Assembly Important House Bills Killed in Sen ate and Important Senate Bills Which Met Death in The House. The legislature which adjourned Wednesday base some important leg islation to its credit. It has not been a showy house, and oratory has been scarce, hut several measures have gone through that will make history for the state. It was the present body that passed the franchise tax law last year, a measure which at the “first crack out of the box” will add twenty million dollars to the taxable values of the state. At, the present session there was passed the bill for a cou titutional amendment to prohibit the levying of a tax o fmore than five mills oil the dollar. This is in the line of economy, but, those who are in posi tion to now say it shuld be accom panied by a bill for tax assessors. If a panic should come or long drawn out hard times, values would godown and the people in such l an emergency would never vote to raise the tax rate. Other billss of importance are the uniform text hook hill, the resolution appropriating $30,000 for a state ex hibit at St. Louis, the convict bill, the board of health bill, the vagrancy hill by Mr. Calvin, and the bill allowing towns and militia districts to levy tax for school purposes. Several big bills passed by the house were killed in the senate, notably the Australian ballot bill, the bill to elect railroad commissioners by a vote of the people, and the hill to elect county school commissioners by vote of the people. Important senate Wilt; killed by the house were the bill to increase the salaries of supreme and superior court udges and the bill establishing a court of appeals. The defeat of these bills was reconsidered and they will couio up again at the next session. CARLOAD OF MEAT STOPPED BY OFFICERS Charleston, S. C„ Aumf ’ 5. —A car load of meat consigned Jks . F.

Tin v LAW WILL STOP LEASE Of LOT No Member of Council Can Contract With City THE LAW IS VERY PI AIN The Lease of Water Lots May be Carried to The Courts by Citizens. At the meeting of council Thurs day night the following resolution was introduced by Alderman Newman and adopted: Whereas. On August 2, 1871, the premises known as the western end ot George street was leased by the mayor and council of the city of Brunswick for a period of sixteen years to John B. Habersham; and, Whereas, At expiration, as provided therein, the said lease was renewed for a period of sixteen years by |jv transferre, J. E. dußignon. and which '-eriod expired on August. 2. 1903; and Whereas, The late lessee desires to renew said lease for a period not ex ceeding twenty years; now therefore be it Resolved. By the mayor anil aider men of the city of Brunswick in conn cil assembled. Ihat said lease be ex tended or renewed for a period r.f twenty years from August 2„ 1903. Further resolved. That Hie mayor Im and be Is hereby autr.orized to execute a lease thereto, on terms to be agreed upon by the successors chosen for that purpose; one to be selected by the mayor and council, one by ,1. TO. du i Bignon and the two thus chosen to, select tbe third; be it further Resolved, That P. \V. Fleming be! and he is hereby appointed to repre | sent the mayor and council in said: appraisement. ; This is a direct violation of the law. HERE IS THE LAW AS PLAIN AS DAY “Sec. 85. Neither the mayor nor any alderman shall at any time be in terested, directly or indirectly, in any contract of any kind with the city or any of its departments, and any one who shall do so, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and may be indicted In the superior court cf Glynn county, proceeded against by accusation in the City Court of Brunswick, and on conviction shall be punished as pro vided in section 1039 of the Code of Georgia.” It will be noticed that this resolu tion calls for tlh-e means that this property in question is to bo leased to Alderman dußignon. There can be but one construction to the jaw above quoted—an alderman cannot and must not contract directly or indirectly With the city. Why does not the city council ad vertise for bids for the property? The News, representing the citizens of Brunswick, respectfully asks mayor ahd council not to sign this lease. It also asks the aldermen of the city to obey the laws. if the property is to he leased, let the man gel it Who will pay the most for it. The News understands that should council disregard tile law In Ihis mat ter a number of the tax-paying citizens will take the matter into the courts. Another Publication.

Some slight Indwications of its presence have been afforded by sea swells tha' have been reported from Pensacola to Corpus Christ!. No reports have been received from Yu cant an, but, the director of the Mexican Central observatory reports that tho storm Is appretnly in the renter of the Gulf and moving toward the boast or Tamulipas, with dimin ishing intensity. Tamulipas is the state directly south of lhe extreme southern portion of Texas.

LABOR 1111 l NOT SAVING A WORD * Not Known as Yet If There Will Bea Strike NO CONCESSION MADE Both Sides are Standing "Pat” and Neither Will Give Out a State ment. The differenucc existing between the Brunswick lumber merchants and *be labor unions, the cause of which wan q demand for higher wages, has not been settled, although the time dosimiated Hv the union expired yes terday. atnd as > w Hat. will be done tomorrow no one seems to know. The labor union, no doubt, lias reehed a decision as to Ihe laborers, but they arc not giving out anything further for publication. Will Hie men go work as usual to il isrrow? That is the question which Is puz zling our citizens generally, and no one seems to be able lo answer it. When several leading members of the union were asked the question by a Mews representative yesterday he only received the reply: "1 don’t know.' From Ihe lumber merchants it was learned that Hie increase of 2 1-2 cents per hour, asked by the union, would not be granted. However, the merchants have not. acted as a body oil the increase, but it Is known that a majority of them will not grant the increase, for the simple reason, they claim that it is almost impossible jut at this time. The order printed by Ihe union staled that the raise would be asked for after August 18. All bends work ed at; usual yesterday and >i >i& Wfg to say on thesuhject. However, from what was during the day by a News representa tative it is believed that the men, thnt is. those who are members of tHe union, will not go to work tomorrow eive-s tl'.c increase is granted. Another question which is being asked by those interested and which has not been answered is; if the union men decide to strike, will non union men join in? The situation is rather a peculiar one. for the fact that at least half Hie laborers on the water front are not union men and furthermore they have not demanded an increase. Sev eral of the lumber merchants who employ non-union laborers were seen yesterday on this subject and in re little to say on the subject, tiad received no notification what* ever that the men would not go to wort: us usual on Monday morning. Some of tihem also stated that they had not received any request for ait advance In wages. Therefore, it is hardly thought tliut the non-union men will join la if a strike, is de clared, which is doubtful in the minds of those best acquainted with the sit* nation, At any rate, the people of Bruns wick generally are indulging the hope that the laborers will go to w-ork as usual tomorrow morning A strike just al this lime will be a serious blow to Brunswick and one from whieli she will not soon recover.
