THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUMBER ISG. TO IMPORT LABORERS FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO WORK ON WHARVES MORE WORKERS OUT 01 STRIKE Only Two Gangs Reported for Duty Yerterday Afternoon. WORKED IJMTIL NOON HOUR Understood That Two Companies Have Sent to South Carolina After Men and a Car Load i May Soon Arrive. The strike situation along the bay remains about the same, only ye.ster day all hands went to work at the us ual hour in the forenoon. They ■knocked off .ait the usual hour for din ner and then failed to show up in the afternoon. Just why the laborers did this is not known. There are only two gangs employed directly by the lumber merchants, now at work. As stated in these columns yesterday morning the Southern Pine company has granted the increase, temporarily, however, it is under stood, and their men are at work as usual. The men employed by the Dexter. Hunter company are also at work. Just why this force has not quit is ;Uot. ki^awn. It. is stated by the mamar ihg that ito increase fhc-r strtainge that the men are work ing on the old scale. At all the other wharves the old workers have walked out, and an nounce that they wilt not return to work until the demand asked for is granted. This the lumber merchants say will never he done. It is understood that Brown & Cos., and N. Emanuel & Cos., yesterday wired to South Carolina for labor and it is expected that an entire ear load will reach the city some time during the week. These two firms offered to pay the expanses of all the laborers wtio desired to come here and work for 12 1-2 cents per hour, the price now paid on the hay. Iti is thought that, a large number of the South Carolina negroes will accept Ibis offer and when they'ar rive they will be in sufficient numbers to take the places of those who have walked out. It is not known exactly the number of men on, the strike but it is estima ted that between 150 and 2000 refused to go to work yesterday. However, the lumber.merchants are not. at 'all alarmed over the situation’ and seem *t.o think that the strike will not amount to very much. They claim that there are numbers of ne groes in Georgia and South Carolina who are anxious to work at the rate of 12 1-2 cents per hour. and. as one of the; leading lumberman stated yes terday “we will have as many if not more men than are really needed!' The merchants, of course, do noi like the idea of sending away for labor but they cannot grant the in crease at this time and are almost compelled lo have their vessels load ed. 1 i Cheap Groceries.

A SECOND VICTORY FOR SWIFT RELIANCE Defeated the Shamrock Again Yesterday in a Close and Exciting Race. Both Yachts Sailed Fast, But the Defender is Best Craft. New York, Aug. 25. —When the i sun penetrated the haziness off Sandy Hook this morning it found a slow, but, steady breeze blowing from the southwest about 7 knots per hour. It also found tile usual gtalaxy of stnal craft, large craft, medium size craft and every other conceivable fashion of craft, cocked and primed for the third event in the series of interna tional yacht races, the result of which would either transfer the coveted trophy to t;he baiiWick of the court of St. James or by another golden spike driven in it all the faster the ilothholdi statue in New York harbor. As previously arranged the course for the race wait south about to wind ward, down the Jersey coast, the two other legs being northeast by east half northwest by west to the point of beginning.

The seething mass of moving spectators crowded as closely to this demonstration as the cordon of police revenue cutters would allow and the nautical evolu tions of the two boats as they played for position were enthusiastically ap plauded from the decks of the afore said vessels. After several unsuccessful efforts in which the hard work of the com manders was interspersed with mar tial music anil the shouts of count less spectators, the two yachts, re sembling' in symmetry outline and contour two great antelopes, the con testants made a dash for the lino.

Editor News: In view of the fact that Hie Bruns wick camp of Confederate veterans has called a meeting for today for the purpose of investigating and challon ging the right of certain veterans >o hold Hie crossec of honor presented to them by the Daughleijs of the Con federacy, I wish to make certain statements in regard to the matter under discussion. The cross of honor is lie Mowed hv the United Daughters of the Confed eracy it|ion any Confederate veteran I appying for same, who ran give at isfactory proof that, he had rendered honorable service to the Confederate cause in the civil war and had received an honorable discharge. These applicants, whose titles to the crosses are now questioned, ap plied to me in regular form, during my administration as provident, of tip Daughters of the Confederacy t.wo years ago. Tueir application:: wet signed by the commander and adjti | tam of the Brunswick camp and these sigaitures are on the papers which are duly registered. There was then no question raised as to the validity of the claims ot these men. The signitures of those prominent, members of the camp were I iinln vitaleiingly affixed to the appli cations without any question of m vestSgat ion or other ceremony, ob jection or demur. The applications were duly regis tered and forwarded to Mrs. S. JS. Gabbett, of Atlanta, the custodian of tiie crosses. They were formally pas sed u|xin and accepted by the very RAILROAD COMMISSION HANDS DOWN DECISION VICTORY FOR TIE PEOPLE bight,y;t authority of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Certainly, therefore, it would tip pear to the just and reasonable mind that every necessary formality had been observed, and that the ptiesen ting of these erossqs was perfectly regular and proper. It is extremely difficult to under stand why, at this late day. tlie very men who signed the applications should resurrect litis matter and seek to discredit the title of these men to the crops of honor. By what right they should presume to Inter est thi mscivqin the bestowing of these cror-es. rightly or wrongly, by Hie ’ tgi.'i'is of ,the Confederacy who alone have the right to give them Of to investigate claim: is also diffiv::!t to understand. The Daughters of the Confederacy is an organization separate and dis tine! from the United Veterans. Those crosses are presented them as a. mark of distinction, a tribute to tit,use who fought for a cause the Daughters love and cherish. Hie veterans as an organization, have nothing whatever, to do with tlie bestowing of the crosses. They mere ly, by signing tJio applications, tes tify to the validity of the applicant's claim. As in this case this was done, the matter itas passed beyond tlie jur isdiction of the tamp of veterans. Assuredly, they have no right to demand the return of the cross,:; and since I presented the crosses dur ing my incumbency, I do nol hesitate to advise the holder. 1 ; to refuse to re lingttish them and to resign from the camp rather than do so. Tlie matter concerns the Daughter*' of tlie Confederacy and not the vet erar,:. who have presumed to veil Hire beyond their province in the mat ter.
