THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 3, NUMBER 37. BRANTLEY OFF TO WASHINGTON Congressman Leaves To night to Attend Special Session LI FILE W ORK SCHEDULDE Our Representative Talks Interesting ly of Work to be Done by Spec ial Session—He is After Appropriations. Congressman W. G. Brantley will leave tonight for Washington to attend the special sossioin of congress, which will convene Monday. Mr. Brantley was seem by a representative of the News yesterday in his office and he talked quite interestingly of the work to be done. Amdnlg other things, Mr. Brantley said: "The extra session convenes next Monday. ,‘Tlie president ini his call limits the work of the session to the Cuban re ciprocity treaty. So far as the house is concerned, I look to see the work limited to the one thing. The speak er will so limit by appointing, commit let's. In tho senate, however, where the committees stand over from ses sion to session, other matters may be considered. “The reciprocity treaty ought, in my opinioins be ratified. In addition to the justice it does, its ratification, 1 believe, will be beneficial to the south. In the matter of cotton goods alone, the statement is made that the preference showini American goods un der this treaty, as against foreign cot ton goods, will increase the cotton exports of the United States to Cuba at least $6,000,000 per year. "1 presume the extra session will last until the regular session begins on, the first Monday in December. In the regular session the republicans will enact as little legislation as pos sible. This will be the last session of congress before the presidential elec tion of 1901, and partisan, advantage will be played for. There will hardly be any legislation affecting the cur rency of tariff. 1 look to see only routine matters of legislation atteni ded to. "1 have heard .some talk of there being mini river and harbor legislation, but i iouk to see tee river and har bor bill passed. The demand for it 1 think will be too great to he resis ted. “Brunswick, I fear, will not get very much i the hill although I do not know what the engineers have rec ommended. The $-10,006 appropriation in the last bill to obtain an additional foot of water on our outer bar has never be-oin expended. The engineers iiave been waiting for the use of the bridge boat, Cumberland, but I am not advised when they expect to put it on our liar. The $125,000 appro priated fur our ininer harbor in the last hill has not as yet been all ex pended. ' “There .should ho an additional ap propriation for Jekyl creek and Clubb and Plantation creeks should he con nected by a canal so as to furnish an inside passage from, our harbor to the Altamabia river. 1 hope for satis factory appropriations foir the Altama ha river, lor the Oconee and Oeumul gec rivers, ami a sufficient amount lor file further improvement and maintenance of our inner harbor. “1 Uo;>e congress will furnish an ad ditional appropriation lor the further experiments in the manufacture ol syrup at Waycroes, and i shall also ask for an appropriation for the spec ial study of sea island cotton in our section. The tlisease attacking the sea island cotton in this section pre sents a very serious question, and un less some remedy is found for them, t.he sea island cotton industry win go down. Many of the farmers are al ready discouraged. “Valdost is entitled! to a public building for the accomodation of the federal court at that point, and if any public building legislation is en acted, I expect to see Valdosta get a building. “I suppose we will have confiid erab.le' taM; this winter about the next democratic nominee for presi dent, and plans for the campaign for next year will he laid. The general opinion now seems to he that we must nominate some man who has the con fidence of the east ainid who can carry sufficient electorial votes in that sec tion, to win. Gorman, Parker, and Ol uey are the names most talked of. If Maryland goes democratic, Gor man will become a formidable caodi- * REGISTRARS HAVE BEEN NAMED And Both of them Repre= smi t Good Govern ment Club E. C. CUTIS AND W. R. COX Judge Dart Will Appoint the Third Member Today and the Work of Canvassing Registration List Will Begin at Once. Tv/o( of the three registrars to can vass the registration of the city for the municipal election were named yesterday, one by Judge T. A Parker, of the superior court, and one by the city council, at a session hold yester day afternoon. W. R. Coix was named by council and E. C. Butts by Judge Parker. There is one more to be set ected by Ordinary Horace Dart, and he will annlounce his appointment this morning and it is understood that the board will at once meet, organize and prepare for work. The two gentlemen already named are strong sympathizers of the Good Government club, and many unfavor able comments were heard on the streets yesterday as to the action of the city council. When the scions met they were aware of the fact that Judge Parker had already appointee Mr. Blutts, and it was their duty to name, at least soime gentleman who is neutral and who has not participated in past political contests. But council a majority of them being Good Gov ernment club mem, of course, named a strong advocate of the present ad ministration.. It is now thought that Judge Dart will give the Citizens club a repre sentative on the board, or will, at any rate, name a neutral party. It does seem that the Citizens club should have one of the registrars. The work of canvassing the regis tration will probably btegini at once, as there are many people to appear before the board, and will take the registrars some time to complete the work. REGISTRATION LIST IN FULL PUBLISHED ELSWHERE TODAY Exactly 1,019 Have Qualified for the Municipal Election. Elswhere in, the News this morning appears the registration in full for the coming municipal election. The list show's that exactly 1,019 have qualified for tho election. Oil (his number 829 are whites and 190 eoilored. This is a considerable in crease over last year, as only 820 were on the list after the ,egistrars had finished their work. It is believ ed that at least 75 or 100 will be added by the registrars this year. MEETING YESTERDAY OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. B. F. Lewis Was Elected School Com missioner from 1499th. The commissioners of roads and rev-, enues held their regular monthly meet ing at the court house yesterday morn i ng. Considerable routine, matters were disposed of.

Dr. Rede will give an ill up trated lecture on Thursday night at 8 o’clock under the auspices of the Woman's Auxiliary and for their bene fit. A small admission, fee will he charged amounting to 15 certs for ad ults and 10 cents for children. Til-; subject of the lecture will be “Scenes and Incidents in the Life of our Lord.’’ It will be beautifully illustrated by Mr. A. V. Wood with his stereopticon. date. My impression is that ids nom ination would be more satisfactory tr the setuth I ham that of any other man whose name is now being considered. “On account of this being a presidential year, congress will prob ably adjourn earlier than usual next summer,’’ , _ BRUNSWICK, GA„ WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1903.
