church congregations throughout Geor
gia were not aware of this hospital
being in existence when, in fact, it is
one of the most modern Institutions
of the kind in the country.
The report of the synodical commit

the entire afternoon and proved most
enjoyable. The steamer was crowded

the beauties of this famous resort.

by St. Simon and then back to Bruns

ment as well as the entire popula
tion have reason to he proud of the
splendid reputation achieved by the

fitted by having them meet hero and

greatly strengthened thereby.
WANT WEIGHT SCHEDULE.
Saw Mill Men Claim That They Are
Being Annoyed.
The Georgia Sawmill Association is
endeavoring tci lrawe a schedulo of
weights adopted by the railroads iq
tho interest of avoiding the contests
in reference to freights which have
been frequent of late.
Sawmill men claim that when a car
is loaded and weighed it may again
he weighed by the Southern Weighing
and Inspection Bureau, and tiiat tlie
figures given by that bereau are final.
They claim that the bureau is nut
disposed to be fair and that they
arc Working to have a system of
weights accepted according to the
classification of freight without the
weighing of each car.
It is proposed to have the agents
of the association and tlie railroads
adopt jointly this schedule and to be
guided thereby. This would save a
great delay in shipping of lumber and
the sawmill men claim that it would
be fair in every way.

It is Being Circulated in Ail Parts of
the South.
Birmingham, Nov. 13. —Prominent
republicans throughout the south aro
receiving a> mass of literature boom
ing Senator Hanna for the republican
nomination.
Much of it consists of newspaper
clippings giving Senator Hanna credit
for the big victory in Ohio and dis
cussing the advisability as the party
nominee next year. These boomers
are mailed at Cincinnati and Cleveland
and thousands are being sent out.
One circular quotes a statement that
Senator Hanna has nothing to say in
regard to his candidacy and adds:
“His friends, who are in charge of
affairs desire that the boom take lito
and form outside of Ohio."
Another piece of literature states
that there is going to boa universal
demand for Senator Hanna to allow
his 1 name to be used for the nomina
tion.
Leaders of the “Lilly Whites in
this state are delighted with the idea
of Hanna’s candidacy and are now
busy working up a boom for the Ohio
man.
Tlie friends of Rooosevelt here are
endeavoring to get. the state organ
ization to line up for him.

Washington, Nov. 13.—Representa
tive Crumpacker of Indiana, who has
again introduced a bill for cutting
down tho representation of the south
in congress because of the disfran
chisement of the negro in many of the
states, was a white house caller to
day.
Mr. Crumpacker said he could not
now say what he would do about pres
sing the matter at the regular session
ctf congress, but he desired to he pre
pared for possibilities by having the
hill before congress. There is the
best of reasons foir stating, however,
that Mr. Crump-acker has no strong
hopes of securing recognition for his
bill before the session of congress a
year from now. On the eve of a pres
idential election; and with the republi
can program one of doing little this
winter, the chances for the considera
tion of the Crumpacker measure are
indeed, poor. Ini fact Mr. Crumpack
er has about concluded that he will
not press the bill until after the pres
idential election but that he will at
that time take it up and work more
vigorously than before.
CHURCH OF THE PRESIDENTS.
Will Observe its One Hundredth Anni

Wto ejwWuttW as York
avenue Presbyterian church is known,
because of the large number of pres

the event will be an interesting one.
There will be historical addresses
by men conspicious in national affairs
and by ministers who hold high posi
tions jo the organization of the Presby
terian church of the United States.
This church dates its origin from
the organization of the F street Pres
byterian church in 1803.
John Quincy A,dams was identified
with tiie church and once rescued it
from bankruptcy. President Andrew
Jackson attended the Second church
and figured conspiciously in the quar
rel of the congregation over Mrs. Ea
ton, “Peggy O'Neill,” who had a
staunch' friend in "Old Hickory.”
Among the other presidents who atten
ded the church were: James K. Polk,
Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Ab
raham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson.
The pew occupied by Mr. Lincoln has
never been removed. It is small, of
do rk oak and has an old fashioned ap
pearance that is a striking contrast
with tlie other modern improvements
in the church. ,*i*!&

The river front certainly presents
a healthy business appearance right
about now and nearly every wharf is
the scene of activity.
Morgan Wade, the clever engineer
of the steamer Falcon, which was des
troyed by fire pome time ago, will be

Those who notice such things say
that there are more hacks in Bruns
wick than any city of a like size in
the United States and from the looks
of the crowd of vehicles at each train
these people must he telling the truth.
At the arrival of a boat some nights
since a gentleman took the trouble
to count the hacks and he says there
wan exactly eighteen there. The num
ber of passengers on this particular
occasion was three and all of them
walked to their respective homes.

PRICE—FIVE CENTS.
THE STATEMENT'
IS ERRONEOUS
That All White Voters
Had Decided to Go
Into It
* r
10 NAME IICKEI FOR
DECEIVE B R ELEC LION
Citizens Club Surprised at Announce,
ment That “all” White Voters
Would Take Part in Good Gov
ernment Club Scheme.
The following was published t**
j terda.y afternoon:
“B appears that practically all ops
position to the white primary has been
withdrawn and the probabilities aro
that ail the registered white voters
will participate in the primary.”
A reporter of The News, after see
ing the item, immediately visited sev
eral of the leaders of the Citizens cluh
as well as other prominent business
men of the city who are opposed to
the “Good Government club primary”
and they openly stated that they nevetl
did Intend and do not now intend to
go into the “primary” which is a polit
ical scheme of the above named or
ganization, and just why such a ro
port has been printed they aro at |
4,i J* '&£& -fre WtWen'th ® *' .J
i
and now that two tickets will he Iw
the field at, the general election la
December. The Citizens cluh, whila
not harasssing the public with polit
ical literature, etc., is active, and it la
understood, will place a strong ticket
in the field, which will he composed
of four of Brunswick’s most suhntaur
lial business men. ,j
The leaders of the Good Government
club, it is stated, were responsible font
the statement that “all'' white citizen*
would go into the primary, which, it
Is alleged by the Citizens club, is an
other scheme to blind many of the
voters, who are not in sympathy with
tho "white primary.” f
Just when the Citizens club
will meet and name a ticket Is not
known, but, from statements made by;
the leaders of the organizations, a pub*
lie mass meeting will he held and tha
ticket named, and there will he u
ticket cut and dried when said met)*'
ing is held. |
A report was current yesterday t/
the effect that the Good Government
club hail already selected its ticket,
and through the instrumentality of tha
club, several names were published,
tint, should any opposition arise in tho
white primary tho club would quickly;
rally to, tho support of four of the
seven names and that it hail been
agreed that should others enter the
race three of those suggested would
withdraw. V
At any rate, it is ait assured fact
that the ticket named in tlie Good Gov*
eminent club "primary’’ will have op
position, and, from all accounts, strong
opposition, in December. j
