the south. During these three months,
it stands as the fastest train in the

veins of her wrist and leg and swal
-1 wed an ounce of laudanum at the
hotel Radnor here today.
* She lived but a few hours and in her
dying moments told of letters in a
bureau drawer. These letters, addres
sed to one time friends, told a pitiful
story of the woman’s one time happy
life, of a real or fancied neglect of
a son who is in the navy, and the
struggle against poverty and the rav
ages of a nervous malady which in
the end broke her spirit.
She wa,s married in Atlanta but
went to Washington alter the death
of her husband, later going to Phila
delphia and studying nursing. Con
cealing her dire necessity from her
friends, she came here to care for an
aged invalid and to fight off her own
illness. She gave up the struggle last
Wednesday, and on that day wrote
and directed, without mailing, a letter
to Dr. Nelson Ingram, of this city, in
which she said:
“I can stand it no longer; death
must be my release and 1 pray that
I may be able to stay my' haud until
the arrival of funds ts save me from
the potter’s field. ..-
On TbursdavX.she wrote, addref*-
sing the tester to Dr. Ingram: “The
mone^>fta s not yet arrived and I am
ikying for strength to allow myselt
■A great city; they saw it deserted; I

“When you get this I will be dead.
The struggle against the horror of in-
which ;is always over me,
driver; me to cross the dark river. 1
have funds in. Washington ten cover
my burial expenses and shall wait un
til its arrival on Monday and then go.”
She did not wait to get the money,
which is said to have come since her
death. Search was made for her son
but he had sailed for Colon on the
U. S. S. Dixie.

BRUNSWICK, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 18, 1903
SOMETHING UP
WITH THE B. & B.
Believed that Road is Con
templating Building
Connecting Link
f ROM NICHOLLS 10 BISHNELI
The B. B. Now Uses Track of the
A & B. Over This Route and the
Arrangement is Not Satisfact
ory by Any Means.
There is something doing in B. & B.
circled, but just what it is cannot ho
learned at present. The owners of the
road are figuring on something, and
something big right about now, but to
get at the bottom of the plan is im
possible.
However, from what a News man
can gather, it i6 believed the road is
contemplating building a lino from
Bushnell to Nicholls, which will con
nect their lines at both ends. This
is the line of the road over which the
track of the Atlantic and Birmingham
is used at present.
The difference existing between the
two lines, the complaint filed by the
people of Douglas against the arrange
ment between the roads and the al
together unsatisfactory agreement
is believed tci have been taken up by
the director# of the road, and there is
but one decision for them to reach —to
build a line of their uivn through the
territory over which they use the A. &
B. tracks.
Local officials of the tine 3oem to
know nothing of what is contemplated
and are as mum as clams on the sub
ject, but that the building of this
connecting link is being considered
there' can be no doubt.
The present arrangement between
the B. & B. and the A. & B. works
a hardship cn the local road. It is
not allowed to haul either passen
gers or freight from any point on the
A. & B. over which it travels, and
any otlNi week the pooipie .jtdjouglas
uuttec icmim- nas*-
pro® Mg aiMeSi*'•■ WangtuUmt,
case will be heard on its mer
its next week.
It will cost many thousands of dol-
lars to build the connecting link, still
it is absolutely necessary that the B.
& B. have it sooner or later, and it is
tiie general opinion that the owners of
the road are now figuring on com
mencing the work.

J W Wilson to Represent a Sav
annah Florist Here.

A GOOD MONTH FOR SHIPPING.

be Broken.

look, will be one of the hesl months
in shipping in the history ot the port.
There lias been an uni; dully large
fleet of vessels in port during the first
part of the month, and the shipment
of crossties and lumber has been very
large.
If the remainder of the month keeps
