GEORGIA NEGROES ARE BACK.
Eleventh Districk Blacks Return to
This Country from Liberia.
New York, Nov. 7. —Two negro men
three women and four children, gaunt
hollow eyed and ragged, have arrived
here from Europe, en route to their
home in Ocilla, Ga., from Monrovia.
They constituted a> part of the sur
vivors of a party of 56 southern ne
groes, who about a year ago, were
sent by a number of philanthropists
as am experiment of colonizing south
ern negroes in Liberia.
It was hoped the growing of cotton
would mark the success of the ven
ture as reports had shown that the
soil of Monrovia was adaptable to* its
growth.
The colonists arrived there early in
February. The found themselves in
the midst of a tropical wilderness
with only a few white traders, who
were merely adventurers. The party
planted their seeds hut their crops
rotted or were washed away within
two months. There were continuous
rains for a month at a time and the
natives were hostile and finally the
jungle fever broke out and wrought
havoc among the colonists. Their pro
visions were depleted and they lived
partly on native herbs and roots. Is
less than eight mouths half of the en-
tire party had died. The party that
came back did so on funds furnished
bv their former employes in Geor
Gla.
The negroes above referred to were
the ones in whose interest Congress
man Brantley has been so active.
A story from the United States min
ister in Liberia regarding their case
was published ini these columns some
few* days ago.
They all live in this congressional
district

BIG DELEGATION TO AUGUSTA,
In Order to Capture the Next Conven
tion Brunswick Should Send a
Large Crowd to the Reunion
! This Year.
It is very important that the com
ing Confederate reunion in Augusta
should be largely attended by both the
veterans and son of veterans of this
county. *
In* the first place the people of Au
gustai have arranged a program for
the entertainment of the visiors that
will eclipse those of any state meet
ing held in years.
Again, Jacksom camp of veterans, of
this city, has been authorized to in
vite the state organization to meet
here next year amid it is very neces
sary that the delegation extending the
invitation should be a large and rep
resentative one.
A well known veteran told a News
representative yesterday that many of
the camps favored Brunswick as the
next meeting place, but it was his
opinion that this city should send a
good, strong delegation in order to
capture the reunion.
The coming of this reunion to this
city would mean a great wing tor
Brunswick and it is to hoped that
those who have tue maitter in charge
will work vyry energetically to that
end.
Ur. W. B. Burroughs, who is very
active in the matter, is now in Atlanta
and is doing some good work tor this
my in the interest ot the next meet

Depeds on Food.
How often the kind of flood eaten
depends the question oi£ future health
and happiness pr even life.
"Our little girl war? but five weeks
old had to undergo a very severe op-
eration which left her unable to take
ner nourishment in the natural way,
that is by nursing, and of course she
had to be fed. She was naturally
trail and the fopd did not help her.
At the, age of 11 weeks she was sub
jected to the second operation and
irom time to time she continued to
grow tninner aud weaker until sne
was hut ai mere shadow’, writes a lady
Jjlii onm.
"We tried many kinds of infant
foods ana then ,t,he doctor direct
ed us to try Grape-Nuts. We dm so
and the end ot the first week noticed
an improvement and after that she
uegalfl to improve rapidly. As we con
tinued to give her Grape-Nuts she
kept gaming until now she is more
main two years old and strong and
uealthy. tier main food has always
been Grape-Nuts and to Grape-Nuts
she Owes her lite. Naturally we are

CARRIE IS NOW ON THE STAGE.
Made Her Debut in Perth Amboy Last
Night.
New York, Nov. 7.—Over in Jersey
in the little toiwn of Perth Amboy.
Carrie Nation and her hatchet made
their stage debut tonight.
The time honored “Ten Nights in
a Barroom” was chosen as the ve
hicle in which Carrie and the hatchet
to fame and fortune and incidentally
give aid to the cause of temperance.
No outsiders have been allowed to
see Mrs. Nation in her rehearsals but
her press agent has kept the fact
that she is to give a performance, be
the public for some time and a good
house greeted the smasher.
In tho smashing act a real hatchet
and real glasses were used.
Change in Ocean Mail Service.

TREY ARE STILL
IN A SQUABBLE
1 *.
No Settlement of K. of P.
Disturbances in
Atlanta
BRUNSWICK IS INTERESTED
The Parties are Well Known Here
and the Local Knights
£ Great Interesting in the Fam-
T , ous Squabble.
Tile K. of P. squabble in Atlanta
does not seem to have abated in the
slightest degree and the matter is at
tracting the attention of Pythians in
all parts of the state and it deems very
likely that the question calling for it
will be brought to the attention oil the
grand lodge when that body meets
next year.
The trouble grows out of the fact
that one of the local lodges in At
lanta expelled Editor Cronheim, of
the Pythian Lodge Secret. The editor
appealed to the district deputy, who
sustained him and ordered the lodge to
reinstate him to membership. This
the lodge refused to do and the other
lodges of the city, seven in all, joined
each other and egreed to surrender
their charters before complying with
the order of the deputy.
Editor Cronheim and many others
prominent in the case, are wed known
in Brunswick and the final outcome
of the question will be watched with
interest by members of the order in
this city.
PAUL GILMORE LAST NIGHT.
Splendid Production of the "Mummy
and the Humming Bird.”
It was a great pity that there was
a vacant seat in: the Grand last night.
The play house should have been filled
irom pit to dome for it will not soon
have a better production than was
Paul Ttilmom la "The ivLtmiliy and'
the Humming Bird.”
There is something catchy in the
story from start to finish. It deals
with the scientific husband lost in his
research, busy in his work who for
gets to make love to his wife. An in
terloper in. the shape of an Italian
author, attractive and dashing, comes
along, meets the wile, offers her sym
pathy, falls madiy in love with her and
thrusts tempation which is partly ac
cepted in, her path. Then follows the
struggle of the wife between the honor
of her husband and the infatuation for
her lover, she is almost on the tresh
old of yielding when tier Husband res
cues her rruin her fate and exposes
the Italian who manages to escape
both the wronged husband in this case
and another who turned up as an or
gan grinder aud finds employment in
the Crumlv home.
Of course Mr. Gilmore was the fav
orite of the evening hut Miss Urew
as Lady Lumley. was exceptionally
strong and measured up magnificient
ly in the second act when sne leaves
ner husband for the companionship
of her lover. Miss Luhrman as Mrs.
Ruth Thornton, a cousin ot Lord Lum
ley, was also a favorite witn the au
dience as was Mr. Florence as Uorelli,
and Mr. Alartin as Guiesseppe, wrong
ed husband number one.
The staging was in perfect taste,
the scenery was .elaborate aud the cos
tumes worn by the ladies during the
evening were gorgeous.
Mr. Gilmore was here last season it,-,
"The Tyranny of Tears” and at tha y
time won his way into the hearts of
the theater lovers ot this city ami
while the house wan not as large last
night as it should have been it was
not a small one and a half dozen cur
tain calls during the evening attested
its approval oi Lite hill.

Americas, Ga.. Nov. 7. —A double
crime resulting in loss of lite and

The fact that Reddick’s body was

“There is nothing in that whatever.
“The government does not need Car

Green. The evidence to convict them
is super abundant.
"What tile government needs is to
have Gaynor and Green in such a po
sition that the government can use
the evidence it already has against
them. Whether we get them in that
position or not depends greatly upon
the action of the British privy coun

Hon. Henry T. Dunn, the popular
collector of customs, visited the public
building yesterday for the purpose of
taking a look over the new quarters
that his force will occupy when tlio

Col. Dunn reports that the new of

finished in every particular and that
the people of Brunswick will be very
much pleased when they go through

HE is TO PRACTICE IN THIS CITY
W. C. Brobston is to Make His Home
in Brunswick.
In this issue of The News will be
found the professional card of W. C.
liroibston, attorney at law.
Mr. Brobston is well and favorably
known* toi the people of Brunswick
and it is a pleasure to record the fact
he has decided to make this his home.
Mr. Grobston has been studying law
ait te Mercer university and from
which lie graduated with honors. Be
fore entering college he studied at
home for a number of years. During
his term at Mercer the class was lec
tured several times by Judge Emory
Speer, judge of the United States
court, than whom there is no more
abler man on the bench in the Uni

Coming before the people of his ad
opted home to practice, Mr. Brobstoai
will, no doubt, receive a cordial w ,
come from the bench and bar as well
as the public all of whom recognize
him as a young man of brilliant mind
and studious habits.
GAME WARDEN

JUDGE PARKER WILL BE ASKED
TO NAME ONE WHEN HE AR
RIVES NEXT MONTH.
Tho game law passed at the recent
session of the legislature seems to he
meeting with general favor all over
the stale and in most of the counties
the judge of the superior court has
been asked to appoint game warden,
whose duty it would be to see that the
new laws is not violated.
Here in Glynn county we have fish
wardens hut no game wardens aud
The News understands that Judge
Parker will he asked to appoint one
when he comes to hold the tall term
of the superlorr court next month.
This is a very important matter aud
it is to be hoped mat tne court win
name the proper person for the work
and one who will enlorce the law.
At any rate the uid law has been
igiioreu in tne past aud it will be but
a lew years beiore game of all kino
will be completely exterminated un
less the law is enforced.
NEW FREIGHT RATES.
Uniform Bills of Lading to be Used by
the Railroads.
A movement has been started among
freight agents to correct an evil that
has been steadily growing among ship
pers in. this section,
The evil is the use of individual
hills of lading instead of the use of
the uniform bills printed by the roads
and easily to be had for the asking.
Individual bills have been used iu pref
erence to those furnished by the
roads because the individual bill can
be used by tbe shippers and consign
ces also as drayage receipts. But
while it may he true that this makes
the individual bill conveuiuut there
are other reason why they should not
be used.
'Pile reason for objection ot tbe use
of these bills is the fact that while
the courts of Jaw recognize the con
tract which is printed on the back
of the railroad bills tlity will not re
cognize tbe contract on the indivi
dual bill'?. The latter are not printed
at all but in many cases are stampted
and iu:m. of the time the leims ot
the regular contract, which is printed
on the regular bill, are not given at
ail On tbe regular blanks the eon
tract is recognised by file courts and
those who want to be sate should by
all means use the regular hill of lad

lORECAST 01 MS DOINGS
It Is Believed That th e Cuban
Reciprocity Treaty Will be the
Only Important Matter Before i
the Extra Session.
Washington, Nov. 7.—The ratlfiea
tion of the Culiau reciprocity treaty
is all that is included on the present
program of the extraordinary session
of congress, which will open Monday.
It was originally desired by the ad
ministration to take up financial legis
lation at thel special session, but this
idea lias mow been abandoned aud un
less ail signs fail comparatively little
attempt will be made to accomplish
anything of importance other thau the
ratification of the Cuban treaty.
ihe ratification of the treaty has
been done by the Cuban congress and
and it now only lacks the necessary
legislation by too United States con
gress to become effective. The iuia
uve for this rests with the house ut
representatives. The fact thau sever
al weens are required tor tne organ
ization of mat bouy nas excited appre
uensiou in some quarters that tnero
will be considerable delay in getting
me reciprocity joint resolution in

l,e formulated until after the Christ
mas holidays.
Monday will be devoted to the read
ing of the president’s message. The
general expectation is that tho mes
sage will be brief and will deal only
wtih Cuban reciprocity and possibly
with financial legislation, in his mes
age it is thought that the president
will direct the attention ot congress
to the moral obligations affecting
Cuba and point out the duty ot the
house to endorse the action of the
senate iu passing the Cuban recipcot*
city treaty.
If the subject of financial legisla
lion is touched upon it is believed that
deli bate recommendation will be made
by the president along the lines of
(lie speech made by Secrelaiy Shaw.
Hie difference of opinion entertain
ed by the administration and by iead-
ing republican members of congress
on tlie question of financial legisla
tion renders it hopeless to expect that
anything along this line can ire accom
plished in the short time which the
extra session has before it and iu
view of these facts it is altogether
probable that the matter will be left
I out of the president's'- message entire
ly, though he had previously deter
mined to give it especial prominence.
