WILLIAM CARNEGIE
MAY GO TO SENATE
EROM THIS DISTRICT
MILLIONAIRE
IS MENTIONED
—♦ —
Camden’s Time to Name
Senator and He is
Considered
UMDf RSTOOD THAT HE
WILL OLLLR LOR PLACE
Dungerness Millionaire Being Spoken
of as a Successor to Senator Sym
ons, of This City, and it ,is Be
lieved He Will Run.
It. "ay ibe that the Fourth senator
ial district will send ai very unuasual
tersor.i<' :e to represent it when til<
Georg legislature meets again.
■Tlit. t; is a well authenticated ru
nic. iu this city the largest in the
district, toi he effect that William Car
negie. of Dungerness. will be a can
didate tor the senate to succeed Sen
ator Symons, of Cflynu county, it
is Camden's turn iu the rotation sys
tem toi furnish ithc senator and it
seems to be pretty well understood
that the millionaire son of the late
George Carnegie and nephew of the
famous Andrew. Carnegie, will be the
candidate tor this place. Mrs. Lucy
Carnegie, mother of William, is the
owner let' historical Dungeness, and
has been most liberal in her treatment
of ted tScSpH? of Camden county. She
maintains a handsome winter holme
at Dungerness, Cumberland island and
employes 1100 men with an average
pay roll of ten. thousand dollars per
month. This army of artisans are
used in beautifying and keeping in
perfect condition the buildings, and
grounds of the Carnegie castle al
Dungerness.
Young William, the prospective can
didate for the Georgia senate, has a
beautiful home at Dungerness and foi
several years has been a legal as
well as a bona fide resident of Geor
gia. In the event of his election to
the Georgia senate he will probably
be the wealthiest member of any stat 1 -
legislature in the south, if not in the
United States. Mr. Carnegie has al
ways had strong republican tenden
cies. hut is understood that he has
renounced his allegiance thereto and
will be a candidate on an indepen
dent ticket with strong democratic
attendances. Mr. Carnegie is 'very
popular in Glynn, Camden and Charl
ton counties which compose the
Fourth district.
It is hardly thought that there will
be |ay opposition Itol Mr. Carnegie
if ihe becomes a candidate, as it is
Camden's turn to name the senator
and the people of that county are
well him.

NEW DIRECTORY
OF BRUNSWICK
They were Received Yes=
terday and are Being
Delivered
II IS A GOOD PUBLICS I ION
Messrs. Griffith and Mann Did Some
Good Work on the Book and
it is a Very Creditable One
to the City.
Brunswclc’s new city directory for
1903, which was compiled by Messrs.
Griffith and Mann, were distributed
over the city yesterday, and many iu
vorail Jo comments wore heard fur the

The directory is neatly gotten up,
handsomely printed and bound, and
the publishers deserve much credit
foir the work, in it is contained many
valuable facts about Brunswick, 1
settler with a full and complete list
of all business houses, companies, or
ganizations, etc., and the name land
address of all residents of the city.
The publishers were evidently very
successful with the directory as it
is well filled with advertisements and
wap well patronized by our peole gen
erally.
The boiok also contains a directory
of St. Simon and publishes lull li.it
of people residing on the island.
Altogether it contains about ISO
pages and is one of the best direct
ories ever issued in Brunswick.
In this connection it might be of
interest to give a little story of com
mon names contained in the book, it
has always been thought that Smith,
Jones or Johnson appeared more
times than any ofjier in a directory,
but Williams taken the lead in Bruns
wick and just 75 off- that name appear
in the directory. Among others most
numerous are Joues, 49; Brown, 40;
Johnson, 39; Smith, 39; Jackson, 34,
Davis, 29; Baker, 24; Anderson, 21.
There are many others which appear
from 10 to 20 times.

A BRUNSWICKIAN SPEAKS
FOR OUR PRETTY TREES.
Savs we Should do Everything in our
Power to Save Them.
Editor of the News'
Like many other's with whom I have
K ikd with upon the streets, I am
strongly opposed to the cutting n
our trees
There is not another city in Geor
gia. with the lo.cil.ij exception ol
Savannah, which lias such treed as
ours. Nor is there eineUier tow .ii:
tho state in which trees could ne
inert to grow. It is very doubtful
if they can ever be induced to grow
here again. They are a product of
nature and it is possible that they
would not respond toi cultivation
We had better not risk it. It wo
let them go we shall be very sorry
soon afterwards and those wliot came
after us may rise t:p and call us
well, not exactly blessed.. I for one
do not cant to incur the enmity of
posterity. I*i this, as some (4 Inn
tilings, I am “agin the government”
and want to see them restrained 01
their destructive career. Nut only
should they be enjoined from cut
ting the trees by the post otiicc but
they .should be made to let all the
rest of our trees alone. Otherwise
I will not much longer be able to
sign myself with pride.

Tile Atlantic Coast Line knows now
just how just how much taxes it will

It alsoi knows just aliout how much
it Is worth when placed on a general

The Hollowing from ttlie Altlajnta

The arbitrators made up their

■The arbitrators in the case were

Tlie comptroller general refused to
accept this return and assessed the

The road objected to this ansoss
