THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 3, NUMBER 22. MANY CITIZENS ARE INDIGNANT —f— “Fo signers” Resent the .. .ack on Emigrants 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.

A large party of Brunswicklans are being made up to attend the big Bar num & Bailey circus in Macon during the state fair. Good Georgia .syrup is now on the local market. Several of the mer chants are advertising in the News that they have it for sale. The city is soon to make some more improvements on Newcastle street and it is probable that the street will be paved with Augusta gravel on down to the park. Levy Bros., have issued invitations to the men of the city to call and in spect their large stock of clothing. This well known firm has an unusu ally pretty line this fall of the best makes of clothing. The voters are now registering for the aldermanic race and City Clerk Russell i kept quite busy. Already over two hundred names have been placed on the big book. Members of the police department were called out cin Wolf street last night to settle a little difficulty be tween a negro man and his wife. The man wanted to leave the house and take everything with him. The trouble was settled as soon an the officer ar dived. The McClure Ten Cent store was formally opened yesterday afternoon, and will be ready for -business today. The store is prettier now than ever and is full of a well selected stock of goods. Attention Is called to the display ad of Capt. T. New in an which appears elsewhere in this Issue. Capt. New man handles the very best of every thing in the liquor line, and sells it at -wholesale and retail. For good 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 ago. The fact of the matter is the road has not sufficient engines to handle all of the work, and although they have orders in for new ones, they are slow about arriving. It is understood that two will he here to day from some sourse, which will serve to relieve the situation some what. BOY PROVES VERY MUCH ALIVE Although His Parents Have Mourned Him as Dead.

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. Autumn Arbor Day. Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 16.—1n re sponse to the request of Superintend ent of Public Instruction Schaefer to day was quite generally observed throughout Pennsylvania as Autumn Arbor Day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
