Daily News, in its issue of August
18th, 1903, Alderman J. E. du Bignon
used the following language: (An al
derman can now make a contract with
the city to furnish suppllesof all kinds;
an alderman can, it, seems, contract to
do all kinds of repair work, and furnish
material of every description, which
is being done every day,) the effect
whereof was to lay upon every member
of this body, saving the mayor, the
charge of violating the law of the
State, as contained in Section 85 of
our present City Code, compiled in
1901, and thus to reflect upon each
alderman of this city—
Be it therefore, resolved, That the
mayor appoint at once a committee of
two from this body and two from the
citizens at large of this city, with
power to summon witnesses and pa
pers before them, and hear evidence:
and whose duty it shall be to enquire
at the earliest date practicable and
report to this body, so soon as can be
done by them, whether any alderman
or aldermen lias or have, at any time
since any of the present members of
Council have been in office, violated
the provisions of said law; and if so,
wtio, and in what manner, and when
was any such breach of duty commit
ted.
By Alderman du Bignon. “Be and it

them and the army will then become

BRUNSWICK. GA., FRIDAY MORN ING. AUGUST 28, 1903.
CANNOT HANDLE
CURS OF 8,5 S,
■f
Southern and A. C. L, Not
to Shift Them
Hereafter
CAUSED BY THE STRIKE
Two Lines Claim That They Can
Only Place Cars at Wharves
of Dealers Who Can Prompt
ly Uuload Them.
Effective yesterday the Atlantic
Coast Line, and the Southern railway
company refused to sjlfift incoming
freight cars over the Brunswick &
Birmingham railroad and the proper
notice of this decision was duly served
on the authorities of the B. & B.
In the past the question of switch
ing! at Bnmhwick as between the com.
petitive lines ha® been a mooted one.
and it finally called for a decision
from the railroad commission to com
pel diverging lines at Brtinswlck to do
the switching service for the 3. & B.
The yard facilities at Brunswick
aro operated conjointly on the part
of the Coat Line and the Southern
and it seems that the strike among
the labor unionls of the city has been
a potent factor in causing the estran
gement of switching relations between
the joint yards and the B. & B. To
make a long story slhort the Coast
Line and the Southern have said to
t ,>o . & B. fihat they will not in fu-
, ..j switch any cars brought in over
the latter line, except in cases where
the oars in question are consigned to
the Southern Pine Company, or such
other concerns wlhlo are in a position
to speedily handle them.
Commercial Agent Wright, of the
Atlantic Coast Line, was seen by a
News representative yesterday and he
talked very interestingly on the sub
ject. He said thait the conjested con
dition of the Brunsv'fk yards makes
it necessary for the <?oast Line and
the Southern, who are operating joint
ly, to protect tlheir own interests in
the matter of quickly tramsfering the
loaded cars! received at) Brunswick
and for this reason, which he thinks
j.x occasioned by the strike, which
causes a great many loaded cars to
remain in the yards thus stagnating
the business of the joint yards. All
cars received over tlhe B. & B. aud
consigned to merchants not effected
by the strike, or in other words, are
in position to handle same, will be
switched by bth the old companies
as has been the case in the past.
LADIES ORGANIZE
Their Auxiliary to the
Men.s Club Has
Been Formed
The meeting held Wednesday after
noon for the purpose of organizing a
_ Woman's Auxiliary to the Men’s Club
was alright as to enthusiasm and
quality, but all wrong as to numbers.
About a dozen ladies responded to this
call, which concerned a subject that
should vitally interest every woman in
Brunswick. Whether this was due to
the torrid atmosphere or to general
indifference and lack of interest in the
great questions involved in this move
ment, is not known.
However, the few earnest and unsel
fish ladies who responded to the call
by attending the meeting, did good
work. The auxiliary was organized
and the following officers were elected:
President, Mrs. E. F. Coney: Vice-
President, Miss Constance Butts: Sec
retary aud Treasurer, Miss Lula Coles
berrv.
A plan of work was outlined, and
the ladies expect to do much good as
well as to enjoy the use of the gymna
sium, which will lie open to them twice
a week in the afternoons. Their hours
will not conflict with those of the
Men’s Club in any way. Therefore,
those who opposed the formation of a
ladies’ auxiliary may now rest easy
that their privileges and freedom will
not be limited or restricted by the
presence of ladies.
The membership at present is com
posed of representative ladies of this
city, but a larger and broader mem
bership is desired, and at the next
meeting it is hoped that more of the
ladies will attend,

Fort Shut Out
Yesterday ,By the
Fast Pilots
WAS AN INTERESTING GAME
Walker Had the Visitors at His
Mercy and Kept up His Well
Deserved Record.—Play
Again Today.
The game of base ball yesterday af
ternoon between the Brunswick Pilots
and the Fort Screven team was one of
ttie prettiest and most interesting
seen on the diamond this year. The
two teams put up a snappy game all
tie way through. The Pilots won by
a score of i to 0.
The Pilots commenced their run
making in the first inning. Bowen
was the first man up, and lie secured a
pretty single, stole second and went
to third on a throw out at. first. scoring
on an error by the catcher. Tills ended
the run-making of the game uni il the
eighth inning, when the locals, witli a
double and l wo singles, and an error by
tlie soldiers, netted three more scores.
In this inning Crovatt was Mie first,
man up, who was thrown out. at first.
Barrett struck out: Walker followed
and landed for a two bagger; Howe i
went to first on an error, advancing
Walker to third. Grimes singled,
scoring Walker. Here the ball was
blocked, and Grimes and Bowen also
scores, but they were sent back to
third and second by the umpire. A
Crovatt was up, and hit a pretty one
over short-st op, scoring Bowen and
Grimes. Hopkins retired ttie side,
leaving Crovatt on second.
It looked like the visitors would
score in the sixtli inning, and here it
was that Walker did some beautiful
work. Ttie first mail up went to first
on an error. Crosley singled, advan
cing him trtjsecoutt. 'V Ih no one out,
Walker commenced his fanning busi
ness, and ouiy ten balls were pitched
to the next three men, two of them
striking out and the,,third one hitting
down to iirsl.
In the third inning the visitors also
had a good start, but failed to get a
man across the home plate.
However, the soldier boys played a
good game of ball, and their defeat
was due to the excellent twirling of
Walker and the gdotl support that he
received.
Tire second game of the series will
be played this afternoon.
The score in detail is as follows:

A NeeG Compliment.
A committee/): om the B. & B. shops
called on Mr M W. Cahill Monday
evening and presented him with a
beautiful token of their esteem and
appreciation of his kindness to them
while actifig as foreman.
The graceful remembrance was in the
form of a pair of handsome diamond
cuff buttons and a gold mounted foun
tain pen. Tlris evidence of their friend
ship and kind feeling was greatly ap
preciated by Mr. Cahill.
Mrs. Mollie Allen, of South Fork,
Ky„ says she has prevented attacks
of cholera morbus by taking Cham
berlain's stomach and liver tablets
she felt an attack coming on.
Such attacks are usually caused by
Indigestion and these tablets are just
what Is to clean the stomach
and ward off the approaching attack.

ALDERMEN AFIER
CITIATIORNEE
Claim is Made That He
Is Not Attending to
His Duty
WAS DISCUSSED LAST NIGH!
Alderman Kaiser Brought the Matter
up and Other Members Agreed
that Mr. Twitty Had
Been Negligent.
The city council seems to be after
City Attorney Twitty. At a meeting
of ttie body last night, it, developed
that Hie city attorney had not atoml
ed a 'meeting in some time, and Al
derman Kaiser, who was one of the
members who brought, the attention
of council to the matter, asked if
there wasn't an compelling
the city attorney to attend all meet
ings. Ttie mayor examined ttie city
code and replied to the effect that the
city attorney was required to Ire pres
ent only when notified that his pits
ence would be needed.
The mayor agreed witli Alderman
Kaiser that the city attorney had
been derelict in his duties. Alderman
du Bignon tiere took the floor and
agreed witli the sentiment expressed
by Alderman Kaiser. He thought
Mr. Twitty dad not been as faithful
to his duties as lie should hafij been,
although he had faithfully drawn his
salary.
The position taken by Alderman
Kaiser seemed to have lieen shared
by other members or council, but no
specific action was taken in the mat
ter.

New Y<w%, Aeg. 27.—With the dawu
tug tif tho very firßt streaks of early
duyllght this morning those interest
ed wind best posted on atmospheric
conditions off Sandy Hook, made the
prognostication that tho race for the
day would not materialize for the
lack of wind.
The propHnesy was a sound oite.
When day dawned a cloudy liuaze over
hung lithe long stretches leading oft
Sandy Hook. The wind was light to
fresh with occasional shifts to the
east ami southeast, ini, a heavy cloud
looked down very threateningly on
the whole scene.
However, below the hazy bearings
everything was different. The en
thusiasm lost sight of the darkness
of the heavens. Two great boats rep
resenting two great people were to
battle for a trophy worthy of the wel
come of a king. All else was lost In
the mad whirl of activity that marked
tho scene.
As has been trie case in previous

service to view 1 this great tesst of
strength between the acknowledge*
high speed yachts of ttb'e world.
While the scene tgeirly gjllttered
w|th animation and enthusiasm, it
was a good natured one and the col
ors of the contesting boats were, at
turns, applauded as they appeared in
sight of tSi'e multitudes.
The colors of the two countries,
represented by the two boats, seemed
to vie with each other in popularity.
Both of them htad many followers, and
as the one or the ot.li*r was brought
■into prominence in the maneuvers
for Stile boginning they received
genuine ovation.
A few seconds after the signal to
start), the two yachts, under full sail,
made a dash for the starting point.
The moment was a beautiful one.
Both of the stately denizens of Nep
tune, attired in the choicest raiment
of fast, moving nautical garments came
to the post, magnificently. The Sham,
rock was the first to poke her nose into
trtic course, crossing the line at 11.00.15.
The Reliance followed live, seconds
later, her official entry being marked
at 11.00.20. The Reliance did won
derful work shortly after the start,
and in the first half hour passed her
rival and lauded safely a full half
mile ahead. The Shamrock seemed
to see that she was getting the worst
of It and tier baby Jib topsail was low
ered. She then headed up better and
made slight gains, but the wind began
to fail and ini the meantime the Re
liance had gone bounding to windward
and was good a minute iu the lead
For the next twenty minutes the Re
lianxie increased her lead and at 12. 2,i
it was estimated that site was leading
the Shamrock by fully two minutes
and a half. Twenty five minutes
later and the wind had completely
shifted and to tic advantage of the
Irish boat and the time ot (lie Reii
ance was cut down considerably.
Barr was at >i.e helm, Uowiver,
and lie succeeded in getting every
inch out of the Reliance that was iu
her, when three fourths of distance
to the stake boat had been covered
the Reliance was well ahead and a
half mile to windward.
At 1,25 the wind was blowing right
strong and a squall was Imminent.
The Reliance luffed and finally went
