About one half of the delegates to
the Presbyterian Synod arrived ini the

night and the numbers here together
with the people of Brunswick who as
sembled in the church, filled the edi
fice to overflowing. The delegates as
they arrived were met at the trains
by the committees as outlined in The
News of yesterday and comfortably
carried to the various homes in the
numerous vehicles prepared for their

all who had the pleasure of hearing
this gifted young vocalist.
The opening sermon of the Synod
was delivered by Rev. Dr. J. Y. Fair,
of Savannah, the retiring moderator.
Dr. Fair took for his subject “The
Church” and in the most beautiful
and impressive descriptive language
told of the wicinderful workings of the
church of Jesus Christ that has lived
for all ages and of which the minis
ters assembled were emissaries. Dr.
Fair easily ranks as one of the best
pulpit orators in the south and it was
a treat to hear his discourse on the
divine institution of which he is such
a fitting representative.
The .sermon concluded, business of
the Synod was next taken up the first
duty of the body being the election of
a moderator. Four names wore placed
in nomination, Rev. Dr. R. C. Reed,
of the Atlanta Presbytery; Rev. G. G.
Synder cif Cherokee; Rev. G. W. Bull,
of Atlanta; Rev. Mr. Brannen, of Au
gusta. After the first ballot is was
decided to drop the names of the two
lowest voted for this leaving Dr. Reed
and Rev. Sydnor oh the list. On the
second Ballot Dr. Reed received the
highest number of ballots and on mo
tion It? was declared unanimously
elected. Rev. C. R. Nesbett was el
ected reading clerk. This completed
the election of officers and the pro-
gram committee was heard from. It
was decided to convene the Synod at
9; 15 each morning but at 8; 45 there
will commence a devotional service
to‘ last one half hour. The Synod ses
sion will take a recess at noon and re
convene at 2; 30. At 4 o’clock busi

with preaching will be held to last
one hour. The Synod will then recess

of the Synod and all services in the
church the public is cordially invited
to attend.
Those who desire can come and go
at their pleasure as no restrictions
will he placed on' visitors who only
have a .short time perhaps to give to
attending the business meeting ser
vices.
At the afternoon service today Rev.
C. P. Bridewell, of the First Presby
terian church, Atlanta, will preach
and a specially selected choir will
render music..
Following the announcement of the
program committee, Rev, Dr. Walden,
ot Atlanta, chairman of the board of
trustees of U education*! conference
submitted the trustees’ report in ref
erence to the progress of the effort
to establish a million dollar Presby
terian university in Atlanta, which is
intended ini effect, to be to the south
what the celebrated Princeton college
ig to the Presbyterian denomination
of the United States. The report of
the trustees went into details of their
organizations and purposes with which
readers of The News have been made
familiar by publications in these col
umns, and which, in effect, are that
an effort is being made to consolidate
the colleges of Columbia and Clarks
ville into a mammoth university at
Atlanta, one of the conditions being
that Atlanta give $250,000 of the mon
ey needed. After citing the fact that
Atlanta had subscribed the requisite
amount the report .stated that a com
mittee from the board had visited the
Synods of South Carolina and Tennes
see and that a committee had been ap-
pointed to meet with the general edu
cational conference in Atlanta in Dec
ember. The board recommended that
a committee from this Synod also he
appointed to meet with the educational
conference and t hut it be the decision
of the Synod to take up the matter
of appointing this committee and dis
cussing, matters pertaining to the con
ference the first thing this morning
after the Synod normally opened. It
so far as the above Is concerned the
report was anticipated by readers of
The News but there were some feat
ures of the report which were a sur
prise and which will be read with in
terest and approval by the people of
the state this morning and which The
News is pleased to present to its
readers. These features in effect are
as follows: That the committee be
Instructed to use Its endeavors to have
a favorable report rendered looking
to the consolidation of the colleges
as named at Atlantri but, if this found
not possible, then for recommenda
tions to be made and looked forward
to regarding the establishing of a
mammoth university in Atlanta any
way, also that the names of Rev. The
ron H. Rice and Samuel M. Inman, of
Atlanta, be added to the board.
While the discussion of the report is
scheduled for this morning’s session
The News feels safe in predicting that
it will be adopted as this Synod is in
favor of having the university at At
lanta and it seems more than prob
able that efforts will be made to use
Atlanta’s princely donation.
The second hour this morning will
be devoted to hearing from Rev. Sned
ecor, of the colored evangelical work!
and Secretary Morris, of the assem-1
bly home missions, will also be heard J
from.
The remaining delegates to arrive
will come ini on trains today and be
sent to the various homes to which
they arc assigned.

For some itme Mr. Sammons has

standing the fact that he was in good

BRUNSWICK, GA., WEDNESDAY MARNING, NOVEMBER 11, 1903,
MILITIA IS 10
BE INSPECTED
-
The Naval Reserves Will
Be Examined Tonight
in Their Armory
RIFLEMEN TOMORROW NIGHT
It is Believed that Col. Obear Will
Find the Brunswick Commands up
to and Way Above Average
of the State Troops.
The Brunswick military compan
ies will be otn the racke this evening
and tomorrow evening when they will
have to run the gamut of the strict
rules and military discipline of In
spector Obear.
This official, with an assistant, will
arrive in the citv this afternoon and
tonight the naval artillery will be in
spected in the armory of that com
manf on Gloucester street.
Tomorrow the Brunswick Riflemen
will be inspected in their armory.
Both of these military organizations
have always' enjoyed a very high
rating in the state troops and it is
safe to predict that their old reputa
tions will be admirably sustained in
their respective inspections. In thiß
connection it may be of interest to say
that the inspection this year is a very
rigid one and that a number of com
mands in the state have been put out
of commission because they failed to
attain the average percentage in the
state inspection.
Col. Obear has been in the city a
number of times and has a large cir
cle of friends here who will be pleased
to welcome him to the city again.
A BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL.
Brobsxon, Fendig & Company Figure
in a Mammoth Sale.
.The following from the Jacksonville
Metropolis of yesterday will be read
with interest here;,
An immesnse real estate deal has
been practically consummated by a
number of brokers of Jacksonville, a
laud promoter of Ocala and a syndi
cate of Minnesota capitalists during
the past month. Altogether 230,000
acres have been transferred to the
Minnesota capitalists.
Mr. J. W. Irwin, who is at present
stopping at the Windsor, comes here
from St. Paul, Minn., and represents
the syndicate.
“Mr. 1 1 (win w*as interviewed last
night in regard to the deal, which is
said to be one of the largest real es
tate transactions ever brought to a
close in Florida. Mr, Irwin was very
reticent concerning the purchase be
cause, he said, although the deal was
to all intents closed, there were titles
and othe matters pertaining to it yet
to be looked into and settled.
However, it was learned on reliable
authority that the present purchase in
cludes 54,000 acres of the finest tim
ber lands in the state, while during the
month of October the same syndicate
bought 260,000 acres of timeber land
at a cost of about $2,50 per acre. The
—more recent purchase is said to have
been paid for at the top notch price
of $7,00 per acre.
“All of this land is situalted in
Lafayette and Taylor counties. The
total price paid for the entire parcel
is little less than a millions dollars fo
the consummation of which there was
a brokerage fee of SIB,OOO.
“Mr. Irwin said that a saw mill is
to be established on the property as
sooin as possible.
“The timber is the best in the state
and the possibilities of the land when
developed are beyond estimate.
“Mr. E. K. Nelson of Ocala is said
to have been the first to interest the
Minnesota capitalists in this valuable
tract of land.
"Other brokers who helped to set
tle the gigantic transaction' were Hil
ey & Hendrick, West & Gordom, T.
li. Livingston and Brobston, Fendig
& Cos.
"Mr. Irwin said that at the end of
this week he would bo able to give
the full details of the great purchase.”

NO BOYCOTT SAYS
THE CHAIRMAN
Max Krauss, of Savannah,
was Here Yesterday
and Talked
BELIEVES IN CONSERVATISM
The Chairman of the oad Com
*, i
mittee, of the State Organization
T. P. A. Talks Very Interest
ingly of the Situation.
Max Krauss, chairman of the rail
road committee of the Georgia divi
sion of the Travelers Protective As
sociation, was fn the city yesterday
and talked very interestingly of the
threatened boycott of the members of
that association against the Southern
railway because of the fact that the
line refuses to give the interchanga
ble mileage books which arc in effect
with all the larger lines of the country.
Mr. Krauss, who is an uncle of L.
Feibleman, was asked for an expres
sion on the subject and while he re
fused to discuss the matter at first
upon being urged he said:
“We will not boycott the Southern
railroad because that r.ad refuses
to use the intj-ehan gable mileage
books but we will divert traffic f;om
their line so far as possible.
“In asking for interchangeable mil
eage books we have made no unreas
onable request, but or.e that com
mends itself to all fair minded men,
and we expe :t r.o cave me stu.po.ri,
not only of the Georgia division, but
the national associv.i in. Chairman
Crandall of the national committee
has written that he will render every
possible assistance and that when the
time is ripe circulars will be issued
calling upon T. P. A. men, everywhere
to abstain as far as possible from
shipping or traveling over the lines
of the Southern railway.
“I have been advised by the national
headquarters to fight for the .same rate
that obtains in the north and west
where interchangeable mileage books
are sold for S3O. and after they have
been used and found to have been
handled by the person who boiught
them a rebate of $lO. is allowed. 1
have not asked for this rate as I
know that the south is too sparsely
settled at this time to permit the is
suance of such rates. I shall contin
ue to push the matter of interchangea
ble mileage books vigorously, know
ing that. 1 am right, and that I not
only have the support of the T. P. A.
but the national association. When
everything is in shape we will certain
ly make it lively for the Southern.
I figure that we will begin operations
in about two or three weeks."

fifty police officers, speciall detailed
to hold in check the immense crowd of
spectators who began to gather as

As in previous cases where Ameri
can. hereisses have bestowed themsel
ves on titled foreigners, the ceremony
was witnessed by that select and ex
clusive body liniown as “society.'’ The
wedding itself, however, was devoid
of lavish display as the family of the
bride is in mourning for Sir Miclieal
Herbet, who was related by marriage
to the Gtoelet family.
Following the ceremony at the
church , for which about three hun
dred invattans had been issued, there
was ai reception at the home of the

sung by Rev. Ernest M. Stires, rector
of the church of St. Thomas, assisted
by Bishop Potter and Uio Rev. Dr.

The Itoral decorations of the church
were tasteful without being elabor

palms, and vines were used to a largo
extent in the decoration of the coil
ing and groined roof. Hanging from
the galleries surrounding the entire
edifice, were pink, green and nauve
orchid plants, which were offset by
their dark green foliage.
The church was well filled when the
bride filially entered with her brother
Ogdon Goelet, and her uncle, it. T.

and every eye in the large church was
turned toward the bridal party. Miss

girlish and appeared unconscious ol
the interest taken in her finery. She
carried a lioquet. from the green house
of the castle Floors which her young

JUDGE Hi

I'he People of That City
Kilter Bill of In
junction
THEY ALLEGE IHA I HIE
TRAIT 1C I HERE IS HURT
Because of a Contract Between the A,
& B. and the B. <£. B. Whereby
Trains on the Latter Line do
Not Stop at That Point.
The citizens oil' Douglas are protest
ing for what they think is their rights
from tlie Brunswick and Birmingham
railway and they are making a strong
light, to compel tiie road to include
their city on its regular station list
and lo receive and deliver passen
gers and freight from and to that
point.
Under the present arrangment at
Douglas the B. &. B. is under contract
with the A. & B, for trackage privil
eges which carries witli it the agree
ment on the part of the U. & B. that,
they will neither receive or deliver
business, freight or passengers, aft
Douglas in, consideration of the track
age right above referred to.
The people of Douglas feel that
this contract works a hardship on
them and yesterday Judge F. Willis
Dart, representing the people of that
city, was in Brunswick and
filed a bill of injunction against tho
A. & B. and the B. &. B. calling upon
them to sever the contract and point
ing out the illegality of it in very
unmistakable terms.
Judge Dart was in Waycross Mon
day night and a similar notice wax
served on the A. & B. and at that
time Judge Barker, of the superior
court, granted a rule in the case in
question, fixing December 7, as (ho
day for argument in the case, tho
hearing to occur in this city.
The question contains a number of
very perplexing legal points and it is
safe to say that the argument in I let
matter will be very thorough.
It is claimed, so it is understood,
that tho two lines at interest will
claim that the matter is in the prov
ince of tire Georgia railroad commis
sion and that this bod should pass
upon the merits of the case.
In the bill filed yesterday Judge
Dart denies the allegation ami pro
duces an abundance of authority in
sustain his position.
.Brunswick has a peculiar interest
in this matter for I lie simple fact Hint
under the present traffic arraiig incut
at Douglas a great bulk of both tha
freight anxl passenger business, that
would ordinarily come to this city,
is, on account of the contract, divert
ed to Savannah and other points.
l’ending tho hearing on December
7, the present arrangement will obtain
at Douglas.
CATTLF TRADE WITH CUBA.
It Proved a Thriving Business to Tam
pa Dealers.
Tho following from the Tampa,
Times will lie of interest to tho cat
tle dealers of Ibis section;
“Tiie cattle business between Flor
ida and Cuba has closed for the sea
son and there will lie nothing doing;
in this lint: until next year. Nearly,
al! the vessels which have been en
gaged in tbi,s business arc now doing
work in other lines while some of
them are laid up.
An idea of the immensity of till!
Florida cattle trade wiili Cuba may
be gained from figures given out this
morning by C'apt. McKay. During the
season just ended his steamer loaded
13,316 head of cattle at Tampa anil
landed 13,014, losing just 102. These
cattle in Florida cost $174,730.
“On his schooner Royalist Capt.
McKay shipped 1,050 head, 02 of which
died eraroute. These cattle cost ex
actly $15,730.
Capt. McKay estimates that his two
boats moved about otto third of the
cattle shipped from Tampa to Cuba.
"It is estimated that Lykes Bren,
shipped about 15,000,”
