MISS GALT WILL
VISIT BRUNSWICK
f
Girl who Refused to Sing
“Marching Through
Georgia” Coming
'¥
ALL VETERANS HONOR HER
She is the Young Louisville Girl Who
Refused to Sing the Song When
Ordered to do so by the
School Teacher.
It id very probable that among the
prominent visitors to Brunswick with
in the next few- days will be Miss
Laura Talbot Galt, the famous young
lady of Louisville, Ky., whose name
has been a household word in the
south since last fall when she refused
to obey orders to sing “Marching
Through Georgia” with other members
of her class in the public schools.
Readers of The News, and in fact
the press of the United States, are
familiar with the incident which has
become part of the latter day history
of the eld Confederate veterans.
When it became known that tlxis
loyal friend of the Lost Cause had de
clined tc join in the singing of this
old war song the news swept like
wild Are throughout the United States
and in, all the southern states the
Confederate veterans’ camps began to
elect Miss Galt as honorary member.
The Georgia State Association, as
a body, elected the young Kentucky
girl as honorary member and by unan
imous vote invited her and her mother
to be their guests at the annual re
union in Augusta this week. Miss
Galt accepted and with her mother
lias been the recipient of many charm
ing social attentions in Augusta dur
ing the past few days.
Miss Galt has several friends in
Brunswick made during the reunion in
Louisville about twio years ago, and
one of these friends, Miss Mary Bur
roughs, invited her to come to Bruns
wick while on her trip to Georgia.
The invitation has been accepted and
if nothing unforseen, happens Miss
Galt and her mother will be in this
city this week.
To say that the reception accorded
this young lady by Brunswickians will
will be almost cordial one is putting it
mildly. There are no more loyal peo
ple in the south than here in this beau
tiful city and they will he delighted in
honoring her.

Riflemen Decide ||to Open
Entertainment on No
vember 30
The Brunswick Riflemen have found
it necessary to postpone I heir fair for
one week, and instead of commencing
on Monday, November 23,it lias been
ound necessary to begini on Monday
night, November 30 and continue un
til December 5.
The company postponed the fair for
a week owing to the fact that dur
ing the week beginning November
23 there will be many entertainments
in the city four or five of the best
shows of the season will he a! the
Grand, and all of these attractions will
serve to interfere with the attendance
at the fair.
However, a weeks postponement will
not make very much difference, in
fact, some of the ladies in charge
are glad that they will have a
week more to prepare for the open
ing. They are all hard at work at, pres
ent ; donations are coming in and the
success of the affair is already assur

Following the naming of these com
mittees came the selection of the
next meeting place.
Several cities were placed in nom
ination hut an especially strong ap
peal came from Dpblini and it was de
cided to meet there the second Tues
day in November next year. The an
xiety of that thriving little city to en
tertain the distinguished body of
clergymen is best attested by the fact
that in addition to the pastors of the,
various churches, the mayor and coun
cil, the board of trade and a commit
tee of citizens issued special invita
tions.
The Synod followed the selection
of the next meeting place with an
hour devoted to hearing from Dr. T.
H. Law, southern agent of the Amer
ican Bible society in his report on the'
Bible cause.
The reports of various Preshyter
teries of the Synoid came next consist
ing for the most part ,of statistical
matter of particular interest to the
clergymen.
The time devoted to hearing from
Hr. Snedecor, secretary of colored ev
angelistic labors, was well spent as
the details he gaveof this work were
very interesting and instructive.
The 'afternoon session was opened
with discussion of Dr. Sndeecor’s re
port ai:d reports from various com
mittens. These reports were perti
nent to the work of the individual
Prep'byi/eries and more particularly
interesting to the churches of each.
At 1 o'clock a. largo congregation of j
Brunswickians joined the Synod in 1

visited the church last night and they
were well'repaid for venturing forth
in' the face of had weather.
The choir rendered several select

Dr. H. S. Adams, of the Synod of
I Brazil, was introduced and interested
bis hearers very much with an ac
count of missionary work in foreign
lands. He is an earnest worker in
the field and presented his cause in
an able manner.
The committee on education then
submitted their report which consisted
I of a resume of the work being done by
Presbyterian schools in this state and
it was a healthy showing. The report
included beautiful and touching ref- 1
erence to the life and death of Col.
Georgjo W. Scott, of Atlanta, who
founded and endowed the Agnes Scott
institute of Decatur. The report also
contained an endorsement of the move
now under way to secure the estab
lishment of the big in ivorsity at At
lanta and it was adopted in full by
the Synod without a dissenting vote.
The introduction of Dr. Henry Lewis
Smith, president of toe famous Dav
idson college, of South Carolina, fol
lowed, and for an; hour or-more this
distinguished educator held his con
gregation with deepest interest as he
reviewed the noble work that this in
stitution is accomplishing. In the
course of his address Ur. Smith refer
red to the fact that he had received
numerous inquiries as to bow lie .stood
on the subject of the proposed univer
sity at Atlanta and ho declared that
he favored it as he knew that is was
good for the cause of education as
well as for the Presbyterian church
and it would in no wise hurt his own
beloved college but on the contrary
would help it in promulgating Christ
ian education in the southland. The
address as a whole was one of the
most scholarly and instructive of the
Synod session' and it was a distinct
treat to hoar him.
Just before adjournment. Moderator
Rede read a telegram which slated
that the Alabama Synod had, during
the day, approved of the university
conference idea and had appointed a
committee to meet with the commit
tees from other Synods In Atlanta on
December 8.
Every reference to tho university
matter brought, forth signs of appro
val demonstrating clearly that, this
Synod is unmistakeably in favor of
the plans now under way and it is
well assured that Atlanta will get tho
big university.

CRUSHED 10 DEATH
Young Mississippi Hoy
Meets a Horrible
Accident
'4 .
Forest, Miss,, Nov. 12,-—News was
received here today of an occurrence
in the interior of Smith county, 18
miles from here, at Lemons postoflioe,
which for strangeness i.s almost with
out a parallel,
A young man atmut 17 years old
wlio name is Bailey, was literally com
pressed in a bale of cotton.
From the most reliable information
Bailey, who assisted in packing cot
ton, either accidently fell in the press
or jumped in before enough cotton
had been placed on the bottom to pro
vent injury. It is thought liiat the
young man either by falling or jump
ing into the press must have struck
in such a manner as to have rendered
himself insensible.
Others were assisting hint in put
ting the cotton i-ntto tho press but,
strange to say, no. one saw him de
scend in any manner. He was mis
sed before the bale was finished in
packing hut it. was thought that he had
gone to the well for water.
Alter the press had been filled tho
belting was replaced upon the machin
ery and the cotton compressed by tho
steam with a force which must have
equ tied many tons. Tlie doors of the
pret-.-cd were knocked open prepara
tory to the pulling on the ties and sew
ing the bagging, when what was sup
p is'-d to la- a shoe heel and sole was
seen tit the side of the half. The press
was run down in order to relieve the
pressure, after which the discovery
was made mat a man was compressed
in the cotton. The bale was hurriediy
torn to pieces and Bailey was taken
out, crushed almost beyond recogni
tion Ills head and face were crushed
and black from the pressure and he
could only be identified by his hair
and clothing.
It was most fortunate that his foot
was near enough the edge of the bale
not to escape notice. Otherwise lie
would have been hauled to town, sold
for ten cents a pound and probably
shipped to some eastern mill before
the horrible discovery was made.
PRICE—FIVE CENTS.

Secretary Oliver Touched
By an Ugly
Scandal
II CAUSES A SENSATION
Social Life of Robert Shaw Oliver,
Named a s Assistant War Secre
tarY. is Involved—Oliver
Denies the Charge.
Washington, Nov. 12.—There are
indications of a sensational tight being
made in the senate against the con
firmation of Roosevelt's nomination of
General Robert Shaw Oliver as assis
tant. secretary of war. ,
General Oliver, who is a personal
friend of the president, has been ser
ving as assistant secretary of war
lor some time, under a recent appoint
ment, and his nomination with many
others has been .sent to the senate
lor confirmation.
Today a sensational attack upon Ol
iver appeared in the New York Sun
in which insinuations against his per
sonal character were plentiful, and
the statement was made that his con
firmation would b e fought. The item
declares that protests were filed with
the president against the appointment
of Oliver by prominent republicans of
Albany and adds:
“Mr. Roosevelt was governor of New
fotk three years ago when lie met
General Oliver. Mr. Roosevelt as
governor, was perfectly familiar with
the social life of General Oliver. In
formation. lias been furnished (lie pres
ident of the social life or General Ol
iver, not only in Albany, but in Flor
ence, Italy.”
The character of the attack was
such to call from General Oliver a
signed statement in. which he says:
“I know of no protest or reason for
any. it is outrageous that a reputa
ble paper shouud publish such a com
munication from a corrcspondant with
out a thorough investigation and an
absolute verification. I have not been
in Italy since I was a young man,
ROBERT SHAW OLIVER.
The impression made in Washing
ton was that the article was inspired
by Senator Platt, but that gentleman,
although not particularly friendly
with Oliver, says he lias made no
ehargqs and seen none. This, in llie
opinion of tho politicians carries the
matter up to Governor Odell.
There is much mystery about the
wlio-le affair and it is anticipated that
a light may develop before the sen
ate.
Iho lact that General Olyiver lias
seen lit to dignify the charges by a
formal statement is much commented
upon here.

Found What Coffee Wa s Quietly Doing
A man made certain, tliai coffee was
tlie real cause of his kidney trouble
Bind severe backaches, lie says: "For
liltcen years I had been a coffee drink
er and finally 1 proved to my own sat
isfaction that the abominable stuff not
only started by kidney disease but
was rapidly making me sick all over.
“My back used to pain and ache
terribly and my wife was effected
much the same way. A short time
ago 1 became very iii. i ordered cof
fee banished from the house and be
gan to drink Postum in its place.
“We aii began to improve immed
iately and feel as though we had
taken anew lease on life. We kept
on improving until Postum has made
us well and healthy where coffee made
us sick. Our backaches are gone and
other troubles too, thanks to Postum
in tiie place of coffee.” Name given
by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich.
Coffee is a strong diuretic irritant
and affects the kidneys in a great,
many cases where it is not even sus

sound body tlie wise thing to doi would
be to quit coffee and give Postum a
fair trial ol say, two weeks. There's
a reason.
