BASEBALL SEASON
MSI NOW BE OVER
• ♦
Pilots May Not Secure
Grounds for Game
with Y. JVI.C. A s.
RECORD OF THE LOCALS
They Have Played 22 Games During
the Season, Winning 14 and
i Losing 8, Which is an Ex
s 1 cellent Showing.
The base ball season may be over, as
far as Brunswick is concerned, and the
Indications are that local fans will not
have the pleasure of witnessing an
other game.
Manager Coleman has succeeded in
making arrangements with the Y. M.
C. A. team of Savannah for games
Monday and Tuesday, a double-header
to be played on Tuesday, but it seems
that the Pilots cannot get the ball
ground Monday.
Some time ago the colored labor
union applied to Capt. T. Newman,
who has charge of the park, for the
grounds for Labor day, and he let
them have it. The negroes are to
have an all-day picnic Monday, and
have rentedjthe entire fair grounds for
the day.
However, the colored teams have no
ball game on for the day, and it is
probable that the Pilots may be able
to rent the bail park from the labor
union for the afternoon.
It is to be hoped that satisfactory
arrangements can be made, as much
interest is being manifested in the
games between the Savannah team
and the locale, inasmuch as they are
even for the year. Two games have
been played in each city, eacli team
‘winning two, and the last three would
<bo doubt prove exciting. Brunswick
fans are quite anxious to see Harmon,
the star Savannah twirler, do some
pitching. He lias made a great reoord
during tire year, and has only lost one
game.
The Pilots are very anxious to play
these last games, and are sanguine
that they will capture the series.
The record made by the Pilots this
year has been an excellent one, and
will show up with any team as far as
percentage is concerned. The Bruns
wick boys have played 22 games. Of
that number they have won 14 and
lost 8, making their percentage .636.
With the Savannah teams, the Pilots
have come out way ahead. They have
played 12 games with teams from that
city, and have won 10 of them, losing
the two games to the Y. AI. C. A. team.
The record of games played, won and
lost, is as follows:

THE STORY
WAS TRIE
Someone Has Made Mis
statement Concerning
Shooting Tuesday
BETWEEN IHE LABORERS
Story of the Trouble Was Secured
by the City Editor of the News
From Officer Carroll Who
Was on the Scene.
Either Chief of Police Burney, Police
Officer Carroll, or that afternoon news
paper (for it is not known who is re
sponsible for articles published in
it,) have misrepresented facts in
an effort to discredit an article
published in The News yester
day morning, concerning the attempt
of strikers to drive scabs out of the
city.
The facts of the matter were ob
tained by the city editor of The News
from Policeman Carroll, in the pres
ence of officers Berrie, Gregory, and
others.
It was learned at The News office
.about 11 o’clock that a number of
strikers had visited a house in the
rear of Mr. Mike Brown’s yard, and
attempted to drive the scabs from it;
whereupon, the laborers, or one of
ttiem, securing a shot-gun, tired into
the strikers. Mr. Carroll told The
News reporter ttie facts in the matter.
News of this nature is always se
cured from the police barracks, and a
reporter generally accepts the story of
an officer as authentic.
Chief Burney also makes the state
ment that the colored union is not
giving the police department the least,
trouble. If this lie true, will the
chief kindly tell us why Assistant
Chief Owens and other officers were
mounted last night, keeping a close
watch over that section of the city
where the scabs are located?
The News is indulging the hope
that there will be no trouble, but at
ttie same time it is a clean newspaper
and is compelled as such to publish all
facts.
The strike situation is now about at
an end. The laborers employed by
Stevedore Julius May are now at
work, no advance having been grant
ed, and they are receiving the same
old pay. All of the lumber merchants
have ample workers, and it is under
stood that many of tlie strikers are
now anxious to return to work at the
same old scale.

WHITES IN THOMASVILLE
FEAR WAR WITH BLACKS
Thom&sville, Ca., Sept. 2. —The mys
terious killine of the negro Tom Wil
liams last Friday, Itae greatly stirred
the negroes in one section of Thomas
county.
About 9 o'clock lw.t Friday night
Williams went out of his house and
in response to a call walked some
dista-niee awajy. Soon; rftlterward his
wife heard several shots and on in
vestigating found Williams lying on
the ground with several gun shot
wounds in his body. He lived only a
short time afterwards and could not
say who shot him.
William’s wife accused a young
white man of doing the deed but tho
coroner’s jury could find no evidence
against him and declared that the un
fortunate man came to his death at
the hands of unknown parties
The Williams family wan a rather
ugly one and the words of the wife
tarred up the neighboring negroes
CARPENTERS GO
OUT OS STRIKE
Number of Them Quit
Work on Public Build
ing Yesterday.
TROUBLE OVER THE HOURS
%
Contractor* Are Behind and Asked
the Men to Work Nine Instead
of Eight Hours, Which
They Refused to do.
A number of carpenters working on
the public building yesterday morn;
ing quit work on account of a little
differenoe existing between them and
the contractors. The number that
went out was eight or ten.
Bit seems that the carpenters all
along have been working eight hours
per day, which is the hours worked by
all government employees, but the
local union designates nine hours as a
day’s work.
Tuesday Mr. IV. H. Bowen, the con
tractor, informed his men that he was
considerably behind with work, and
would ask the men to work nine hours
for awhile, at least. This some of the
men refused to do. and did not go to
work as usual yesterday morning.
Mr. Bowen was seen by a represen
tative of The News yesterday, and
when questioned on the subject, he
gave out the above facts. Mr. Bowen
said that the carpenters have only
been working eight hours, and now
that he was somewhat behind.wit li t tie
carpenter work, he wanted them to
work tiie extra hour. A majority of
them agreed to do it, but eight or ten
walked oat.
However, Mr. Bowen thinks this
will not long delay the work, as the
old men will either return to work or
he will employ others today.
Some of the carpenters were also
seen by a representativeof Tiie News,
and they state they have only been re
quired to work eight hours in the past)
and they did not see why they should
now work nine for the same pay.

to such a high pitch that they believ
ed that the white people were respon
sible for the death of their friend and
they proposed to avenge it.
Avery large crowd was present
at the funeral of Williams and they
seemed very much excited.
Many threatening remarks were
made and it is known that a brother
of the da-ad negro has purchased 150
cartridges.
These suspicious acts put the white
people on their guard. Every white
mao in the section has been warned
and they are prepared to defend their
homes.
The negroes, however, seem to real
ize how serious it would be for them
to start any trouble and some think
now that the matter is euded.

TO SETTLE
4 DISPUTE
Alaskan Boundary Com
mittee Will Mtet In
London Today
TO TRY AND SEIILE QUESIION
Secretary Root, .r>enator Lodge and
"i
Senator Turns,',’ Will Represent
the United States as Mem
bers of the Commission.
London, Sept. 2. —The commission
apnolinted under the treaty concluded
last January between Grcat Brifian
and the United States to settle, if pas
sible the long standing dispute over
the Alaskan, boundry, will meet tomor
row morning at the British foreign
office and formally organize. Those
present will include the three British
commissioners—-Lord Aiverstone, Sir
Louis Jette (lieutenant governor of
Quebec) and Mr. A. B. Aylesworth.
Ki C.—and 'the American commis
sioners—Secretary Hooit, Senator
Lodge, amd Senator Turner.
In addition there will be present
a great array of counsel to present the
two .sides of the case. Tiie question
at issue will not be entered into to
morrow, the initial session being de
voted to the work of organization and
the exchange of courtesies.
The Alaskan question is one of long
standing. Since 1572 Canada has been
calling attention to the question year
after year. In 1898 a joint high com
mission of England and American rep
resentatives tried to settle the ques
tion, but faiiled.
The territory in dispute covers an
area of upward of 20,000 square miles-
For the most it is mountainous,
hut it includes valuable gold mines.
The quarrel centers around the ques
tion of the whereabouts of the bour.ilry
between Alaska and Canada. Origt ml
ly Alaska was Russian territory. In
1825 the boundry line was defined, on
paper, by a treaty between Russia anil
Great Britain. In 1867 the United
States bought Alaska from the Czar,
and then the Canadian-Alaskan front
ier began to be people. As the bound
ry line fixed by the 1825 treaty had
never been properly surveyed, disputes
arose between Canada and the new
Owners of Alaska.
Throughout almost its entire length
the disputed territory adjoins British
Columbia on its westward side. The
remaining portion in dispute adjoins
the famous Yukon territory, and in
cludes the eastern boundry of the
coast strip from the vacinity of Yaltu
at bar to the one hundred and forty
bar to the one hundred and forty-first
meridian.
So far as the latter is concerned
the ownership of towns like Skagway
and Dyea—famous in the great Klon
dike gold rush —is in questiin.
The Klondike, indeed, is directly af
fected by the quarrel, which it is now
hoped will be settled. The ingress

Lynn canal. The Americans elajm
that ths canal, plus a bolt of territory
30 railqr, east of it, belongs to he
United States; while fanada demands
that a great portion < *t the upper part
of the canal, together with a slice
of territory to the he recogonized

FILIPINO MURDERER’S CASE
ExecutMn of Dunphy, a Native, Ref
erral to the Supreme Court.
Washington, Sept. I.—The War
Department has decided to refer
to the Supreme court of the
PhilSippine islands the case of the
native Filipino Dunphy, who was con
victed of murder by the military gov
ernment and sentenced to death. He
escaped and was apprehended after
the Philippines passed to civil control.
His attorneys make the claim flint
the civil government cannot carry out
the sentence of the military govern
ment. It is expected that the case
ultimately will he taken to the Su
preme court of the Knifed States.
Another Excursion.
It is understood that another big
excursion will ire operated to Macon
arid At lanta, over the Southern rail
way on September 19th, and another
large crowd is expected to take advan

Candidates at the
Polls
RESULT EAGERLY WAICHLD
Democrats Are Now In Control of the
State And Hope to Win Again
This Year but They Have
a Strong Fight.
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 2.—Both
parties will hold their primaries in
Maryland (tomorrow. The result is
awaited with interest throughout the
country as the campaign in Maryland
this year is of national importance
It involves the election of a United
States senator, the party standing of
a doubtful state preceding a national
campaign, and the chances of a dem
ocratic leader as a presidential poi-si
bility. Although now controlled by
the democrats, the independent vote
in this state is the balance of power
and can swiiimg the state either way.
It is the uncertainty surrounding the
independent vote that puzzles the po
litical managers. McKinley carried
the state both times. Eight years ago
the republicans swept it on the suite
(ticket, and elected a United Slates
senator
Four years ago the democrats re
covered state control. The republi
cans are at an udvantaro this year
because of factional differences, while
the democrats are cainparalively
united.
For the republican candidate will
in all probability be Stevenson Will
iamson, of Hartfort county, an emi
nent lawyer, whe, as a member of the
legislature, has made a splendid tight
for aijiti-brJ'oery and ilaiir elections.
The lead I ti(; democratic candidate for
governor is Edwin Warfield, president
of the Fidelity and Deposit company
aind a prominent financier. Mr. War
field lias had wide experience in pol
itics’. For many years before he be
came the head of u great financial in
stitution he was prominent in poli
tics as one of Gorman’s lieutenants.
The tickets this year will he among
the largest ever voted for, including
governor, state comptroller, attorney
genera/1, members of t'he legislature,
two judges of the supreme bench of
Baltimore city, and a number of mi
nor oflicers.

TOLD SECOND HAND.
An Interesting True Tale of Feeding
A bright young woman of Coin, lowa
who keeps her eyes open to tell an
interesting ami true story of her
chum's experience with food.
She says: “She had nervous dyspep.
sia for several years and when an at
tack came on she would go to a phys
ician and got relief up to last year
when she had the grip which left
her very weak and then ! her stomach
collapsed and refused to retain any
thing but the very simplest foods.
Soon site could not eat even those and
for seven days she had no nourish
ment hut raw egg and milk and she
was told by a physician that a change
of air and scone might restore her
to partial health but sho would never
again be well and would probably die
of consumption of the bowels.
“She always complained of terrible
distress after eating whch was soon
followed by vomitling yet she was so
hungry all the time that she would
try to eat. One da|y sHie read an ar
ticle on GraipoNuts and ash ed her father
to gel some and he wont and bought
a package She took a tablespoouful
moistened with a little milk. The
tape was delicious and satisfying and
lo everyone's supprise there was abso
lately no pain or trouble in her stom
ach after eating it-
"After a couple of hours ahe called
for some more Grape-Nuts and this
time the amount was doubled and Boon
after eating it she fell into a- sound,
natural uiortg, sleeping for sever..)
hours, something she had not (lotto
since her illness without the aid of 1
morphine. She continued to usa
Grape-Nuts alone for one week Im
proving rapidly all the time and then
began l to increase her diet as her re
turning strength and appetite made
this possible.
“For months from the time she
commenced the use of Grape-Nuts she
became a comparatively healthy gin
quite strong and vigorous eating,
sleeping and working much better
than she had done for years. She
and all her friends feel that she owes
her life to the scientific food Grape-
Nuts.'' Name given by Postum Cos.,

To consolidate with the 'Riflemen
meets with he approval of a large
number of the members, while there
are others who favor another infantry
company altogether.
If the consolidation' was perfected
it is probable that there would tie a
change in officers, a-s the full set
of either company would hardly re

Among the members of the Reserves
are some of the most popular young
men of the city, ami they take great
interest in the company, but do not
like the duty to which they are as

an infantry company seems to strike
a popular chord with the men.
