“Fo signers” Resent the

By a Newspaper
\ STRONG PETITION SIGNED
Thirty-Three prominent Brunswick
Business Men Say They Do Not
Like the Article Published*"
in the Afternoon Paper. ;
The following communication was
handed to The News for publication
yesterday afternoon.
In connection with the matter it
seems that an article appeared in the
Journal a few days ago in which a
well known business house was se
verely routed for endeavoring to col
lect a bill from a certain employe of
the afternoon paper.
In the edition following, the Journal
took occasion in one of its special
columns to say a number of unkind
things oif the firm in question and to
reflect in a measure on the emmlgra
tion laws, in so much as they per
mitted persons to emmigrate to this
Country, who were not familiar with
the English language.
The foreign born residents of this
city (and they are among our best
inhabitants) did not relish the idea
and they seem inclined to resent it
as the following card will attest,
which is printed at the request of the
signers thereto: , ,
We, the undersigned business men
and citizens of Brunswick, havinf
noted the article in the Brumrflvicl-
Journal of October 14, in which tin
followin'; paragraphs appeeir:
“Have always, and shall continue to
advocate restricting emmigration, ex
cept to American spaaiktng people.’
“Then we shall he the greater
people in the world.’
We deem it our duty to our man
hood and citizenship to adopt this
means ofi expressing Our contempt
and indignation', not only for the wi'i
ter of the article In question, but foi
the newspaper that permitted such
insult to a good citizenship to ap
pear in its columns.
While it is true, some of up \jer<
not born ’neaith the skies of (his, om
adopted home; we have come among
you. have risked our lives and ou
fates witli you and we believe on the
whole we make, a very good class o
citizenry and we lay claim toi that
degree of manhood, apparently no
possessed by the writer ot the card n
question.
as a further resentment of this un
called for aul flagrant insult, and
a just rebuke to the Brunswick Jour
nal, the newspaper that allowed it
space, we hereby agree to discontinue
our 5 iscriptions and withdraw our
advr i oments frolm a sheet that hats
no heaped ignomy on the for
e' a people of this city, bat have
offered the traditional inheritance of
a great majority of the people of this
country generally.

whiskey, for all uses, you can always
find it at his establishment.
If. & B passenger trains are still run
ning on rather a bad schedule which
was caused by the wreck a few days

J. POPE BROWN NOW CHAIRMAN
Chosen Yesterday to Succeed Judge
Spencer R. Atkinson.
The AJDlanta Constitution of yes
terday says;
At a meeting of the railroad com
fitission held yesterday, Hon. J. Pope
Brown was elected chairman to serve
for the next two years. Mr. Brown
has been a member of the commission
for the last four years, having been
appointed by Governor Candler. He
has two years longer to serve.
The meeting was interesting, both
am this account and because it was
the first meeting attended by Hon. H.
Warner Hill, of Meriwether, who suc
ceeds Judge Spencer R. Atkinson as
a member of that body. Judge At
kinson was present at the meeting
for a short time for the purpose of
aiding the commissioners in finish
ing up the work on some of the odds
and ends left over from the day be
fore. The matters dealt with related
principally to demurrage claims and
claims on storage charges.
The claim of T. N. Higgston, for
$3,480 overcharges on lumber ship
ments, against the Seaboard Air Line
was withdrawn, the case having been
settled.
ATTEMPTED TO LYNCH HIM.
Rome Man Says Mob Threw Him in
a Creek.
Rome, Ga., Oct. 16.—Lon Drake, a
well known man of Rome, swore out
warrants for assault and attempt to
murder this afternoon against several
meD who live in Lindale, the parties
named in the warrants being all he
could remember out of a mob of sev
eral hundred, whom he allegs attempt
ed to lynch him.
Drake is said to have caused much
hard feeling in Lindale in trying to
induce factory hands to leave there
and go to Atlanta and work.
Mutterings have been heard for
several days, and this afternoon
Drake was taken in hand by an angry
crowd and hurried headlong from an
bridge into deep pool in Silver
Creek, which lies just below, and some
15 or 20 feet from the bridge floor.
Drake was allowed to climb out of
his watery bed and strike out for
Rome, where he secured the warrants.
It is claimed that there was never any
intention to lynch Drake—only to run
liim out of town but he declares oth
erwise. When swearing out the war
rants, Drake presented a most woe
begone and bedraggled appearance.
He declares that he will push these
cases to the limit oii the iaw.

BIG WAR GAME
AT FORT RILE!
Uncle .Sam’s Troops to
Engage in Some Very
“Fierce” Battles
MANY SOLDIERS ARE IHERE
Army Reservation be P - ne of the
Greatest Military rs Ever
Held—Area Will ae 225
Square Miles.
Fort Riley, Kas., Oct. 16.—Begin
ning today and continuing until Oc
tober 27 the army reservation here
is to be the scene of the greatest
mllitialry maneuvers .ever conducted
in the United States. The success of
the maneuvres held here last fall in
spired the war department to lay the
plans this year on a much larger scale.
The movements of the troops will ex
tend over an area of 225 square miles,
instead of being limited to nineteen
square miles, as they were a year
agoi, and the number of troops has
been doubled.
The game will be largely one of
strategy. All tfie arms of the ser
vice will take part in it. The artil
lery will be represented by nine light
batteries—the largest and strongest
fore of field artillery that has been
brought together in this country
since the Civil War —witli Major Wil
liam H. Coffin in command. There
will be a brigade of cavalry, under
Gen. C. C. C. Carr, and brigades cf
infantry commanded by Brigadier
Generals Fred D. Grant, J. Franklin
Bell and Thomas H. Berry. In com
mand of all the operations Major
General John C. Bates.
One of the most important, not to
say picturesqe, features the war
game will be an attack upon a con
voy of food supplies. A supply train,
composed as it is of a .string of load
ed wagons miles in length, is obvious
ly vulnerable to assault and corres
pondingly difficult to deltoid. The
problem is to fetch it through, in or
der that the victuals in question may
not goi to recruit the larder of the
foe.
Whan a railway runs through a
scene of military operations, as in this
neighborhood, the control of it often
determines the success of any army.
Heiuce the importance of securing
the maatership of traffic over the Un
ion -4*acilic road. Whichever force,
the -blue or the brown, obtains theo
retically speaking, the advantage will
be in a position to cry “mate” to its
adversary.
Questions of this sort will be de
termined by officers of high rank ap
pointed by the war department. They
will decide which wins, the blue army
or the brown army, when an attack
is made upon a fortified village. It
will he their function to (!<:■
whether an intrenchment position has
been (technically) captured and
whether this regiment or that bri
gade has been ((constructively) will
ed out. From their decision there
will be no appeal.
In the course of the operations an
entire division will be marched tout
and deployed for battle. An aCilck
in force will be made upon
post, after preliminary skinjftoing
and reconnoissance, and the blue and
brown armies will finally come into
collision. The forces being pretty
evenly matched; the losses on both
sides; may be expected to be iarge,
though the wounded will not require
hospital treatment, and the dead will,
happily, come to life again after the
fray.
One of the most important objects
of the maneuvers is to afford to of
ficers of the several arms an oppor
tunity for observing the evolutions
and capabilities of the other arm.
Thus the cavalrymen will see what
the infantry and artillery are doing
and the artillery will get a more defi
nite notion of the sort of eo-ojieratiou
whiph may be expected from the in
fantry and cavalry, 'the value of
this is obvious. Of course, the engin
eers will have their own important
part to play in the operations, con
structing pontoon bridges and throw
ing up earthworks, while the signal
corps, with telegraphs, telephones and
a balloon, will attend to the business
of conveying intelligence.
Nearly Finished.
The new church of the Second Ad
ventists is now rapidly nearing com

TO SERVE LIFT
TOO POISONING
David Meeks Convicted
for Murder of Young
Lady
JUDGE PARKER PRESIDED
Gave Girl Candy Which Contained
Strychnine, Was Charge Against
Barnard—Great Interest Is
Felt in the Trial.
Ueidsville, Ga., Oct. 16. —The trial
ott Dorid R. Barnod for the poison
ing of Miss Eva Weeks ended last
night at 10 o’clock, with his convic
tion.
The state’,s contention was that the
deceased died from strychnine poison,
and that D. R. Barnod was the only
oine who had the opportunity of ad
ministering the poison. That it was
done by giving Miss Weeks candy.
The defendant admitted in his state
ment that he gave the young lady
candy a few hours before her death,
but denied that he had poisoned it.
The defease claimed that other cause
brought on the young lady’s death.
Mr. Burldhialter opened the argu
ment for the defense and was follow
ed by Judge H. D. Twiggs, of Savan
nah, also for the defense.
Judge James H. Hines, of Atlanta,
closed for the state.
Judge Tom Parker, of the Bruns
wick circuit, who is presiding in the
absence of Judge Evans, charged the
jury in a clear and able manner.
Just at 10 o’clock the jury retired
to their room and was our exactly an
hour, when they returned the follow
ing verdict:
“We the jury, fit; a the defendant
guilty, and reOonwhmd that he be
confined in the penitentiary for his
natural life.”
THIS WINTER WILL BE COLD.
Old Fashioned Sign Indicates It—Few
Have Faith.
There is a good old fupiiioiu-d “sign"
that the coming winter will be a se
vere one, twentieth century omen
iconoclasts to the (contrary notwith
standing.
Grandparents held firmly to tlio
belief that when there was a supera
bundance of fruits and nuts Dame
Nature’s liberality was but the display
of wisdom in providing her children
sustenance for the severe winter that
was coming.
Another “sign;” that was notice
able for the past week or ten days is
tlie unusually blood-red sunsets, aud
even long after old Sol has pulled up
his last ten flap and the day is done
the sky remains a glory of deep erim
soin- whi|Cli gradually fades before the
silvery rays of the silvery moon.
These signs are all firmly believed
in by our forefathers.
The wild fruits and nuts are said
to exist in great quantities this year.
Hence tlio winter should be an unusu
ally hard one.
Georgia farmers are getting to be
so up-to date that they have come to
lose faitli in the “signs” that have
been believed in since the beginning
of things. Belief in the efficacy of
the ground hog as a l’orcaster of the
weather, in the time honored goose
bone sv; an indication of cold or mild
winter, or in the size of the nut crop
as signs of the sort of weather—mild
or frigid—that is to distinguish the
wintry season, had all been relegated
to the department of tradition in au
vient history.
COLUMBIA WAS DISAPPOINTED.
Indignation Also Felt and Some Very
Strong Expressions on Verdict.
Columbia, Oct. 16. —The announce
ment of the verdict in the Tillman
case caused disappointment and in
dignation here.
The length of time which the jury
wavs out had led to the hope that there
would he a mistrial, after which the
second trial would be favorable to the
prosecution.
There is no other topic of conver
sation today. One man of prominence
declared this to be as hard a blow at
the good name of South Carolina as
the treatment of Wade Hampton.
Will Wed Tomorrow.
A. S. Strickland, of this city, left
last night lor Manor, where on Sun
day next he will be wedded to Miss
Ellen Corbet, of that city. Mr.
Strickland is well known in this city
and has a large circle of friends who
will wish him an abundance of happi-
UUM ’
WILL SING FAUST TONIGHT.
Rose Cecilia Shay Opera Company to
Paly a Return Date.
The Rose Cecilia Shay Opera com
pany, which made such a hit with our
theatre-goers Wednesday night, when
the opera El Trovatore was present
ed, will return today, and tonight will
sing Faust at the Grand.
A telephone message was received
from Jacksonville last night, where
the company played, stating that Miss
Shay, who has been ill in Macon, had
joined the company, and would posi
tively appear here tonight.
The advance sale of seats has been
quite large and it Is expected that the
company will again be greeted by a
largo house. Faust, while it lias been
here several times, has never been
seen in grand opera.
All the leading singers, who did not
participate in El Trovatore, will be
in the cast tonight.
By request the curtain will not go
up until 9 o’clock. This is done in
order to give the business men an op
portunity to get to the show in. time
to see the full performance.

Three Verdicts Against Southern.
One Case Compromised.
Abbeville, S. C., Oct. 16. —In the
court of common pleas today a verdict
was rendered in three separate cases
against the Southern railway for SSOO
in each case.
The plaintiffs were T. C. Lites, H.
D. Pressly and J. H. Chiles, who each
sued for $1,500. The defendants in
May, 1902, were compelled by the
conductor to pay full faro between
Charleston and Branehville or ho
ejected from the train, although
they had tickets which were paid for,
but were improperly punched by the
agent for the Southern at McCormick.
The Southern was also sued by
Miss Annie B. Hadden for $25,000 for
damages received in a collision on
the Southern near Alton, 'Penn., in
April, 1903, the defendant consenting
to a verdict for $5,000 and a verdict
for tliat amount was rendered.

FIRE RUES AT
WORT II STATE
Two Big Warehouses are
Burned at Lump
kin, tia.
10 KEEP A CLOSE WAIQI
Burned Buildings Situated in Differ
ent Sections of the Town—Odor
of Kerosene Strongly in Evi
dence—People Excited.
Lumpkin, Ga., Oct. 16—Two ware
houses buiued down last night situat
ed several yards apart.
About 11 o’clock, the ware house of
Captain W. H. Tondee, ou the north
side of town was discovered ou fire.
The odor of kerosene oil was very
perceptible, and it was undoubtedly
soaked in oil and then fired. About.
tbO bales of cotton, a lot of feed stuffs
i 'me uew buggies and harness, and
s-nic dressed lumber, and a horse and
mule were burned.
Mr. Tondee was pretty weii insured,
but several planters lost cotton which
was not insured.
About. 2 o clock, before the firemen
bad quit putting water ou the bunt
ing cotton mi this warehouse, the
alarm of fire was again sounded, and
tile brick warehouse run by J. T. l’al
terson, on the north side of town, was
found to bo on fire.
About 300 bales 06 cotton wero
bumed here, the planters losing about
SI,OOO in this fire. Battersea waHv bul
ly covered by insurance.
Beth of those fires happening in the
same night and both tnceudinrv have
put people to thinking and acting.
A dete'. Uxe. win.be employed to in
vestigate these fires, and a night
watchman will doubtless, be employ
ed to patrol the business portion of
the toiwa.
AMONG THE MAIL.
What a Railway Mail Clerk Found.
Strange tales are told of what men
in the U. S. Railway Mail service
sometimes find.
There was one clerk, hungry and
down hearted wiio found a food hint
one night in the following way: “For
months 1 suffered from chronic in
digestion, impoverished blood and
shattered nerves caused by tlio im
proper (selections of jjutod. Was in
the habit of making a breakfast of
coarse and pasty food accompanied
by the free use of coffee and these
combined to almost shatter my di
gestive organs.*
"1 was employed in the Railway
Mail service and assigned to duty on
a night line where it was necessary;
to eat at irregular lours during tlio
night. Everything 1 ate no matter
how light not ouiy failed to nourish
but distresed and nauseated me and
I was reduced in weight from 150 to
122 pounds. My memory was last
failing and I was a nervous wreck
unfit for duty and discouraged in view
of the fact that 1 must soon give up
my good position.
“One night when the world seemed
darkest to mo I read among a sack
of mail the words ‘Grape-Nuts’ and
woindered if it was something good
to eat. Arriving at the end of my
run 1 bought a package, and nothing
ever tasted better; from that day I
began to gain mentally and physical
ly- I gained 12 pounds in two months
on Grape-Nuts food and kept on
steadily increasing my weight to 147
pounds.
“Grape-Nuts improved and steadied
my brain and nerve powers so that
i was able to pass my next examina
tion with a good grade and soon got.
u promotion and was changed to a
daylight run; there is no doubt in
the world* that I owe my advance in
position and improved health to tlio
proper food Grape Nuts iu place of
improper foods.” Name given by Dos
tum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich.
There was a reason.
Look iu each package for a copy
of the famous little book, “The Road
To Wollvilie.”
