Section 1. Be it and it is hereby ordained by the mayor and aldermen of the city of Brunswick, Georgia, in council assembled that section 054 of the code of said city be amended by striking from the second line thereof the letter K, and by inserting in lieu thereof the letter Q, so that when so amended, said section will read as fol lows: “It shall be uulawlul lor any horse, xnare or male to run at large 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. FI IS POSTPONED — * — 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 ed. in the city souls of Q street and any such Sound at large in the city south of said street shall be impounded au I dealt with as prescribed in section 549 of this code.

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 LITTLE NOTES ABOUT TOWN. Items Gathered by News Reporters for Hasty Readers.

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.

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. MAKING FIGHT OD ROOSEVELT'S PET - 4 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. LOCKED into IT.

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 pected. If you value health and a 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.
