THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 3, NUMBER 41. CANDIDATES NAMED BY GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUB IN A PRIMARY If SURPRISES 111 IRE ELECTION Vote Did Not Q 6 as High as was Expected By the Club A'KEN, DOWNING, WOOD AND TIPPER SELECTED Highest Man on the Ticket Received 370 Votes While the Lowest Candi - date Only Received 157—Po itic* on in Earnest. F. D. AIKEN 370 C. DOWNING 365 J. W. WOOD 303 W. M. TUPPER. 295 JOHN P. GOLDEN..I73 A. M. SMITH... 157 This is the result of the Good Gov ernment club primary held in the city yesterday to nominate four candidates tea tor members of council to be voted tor at the general election to be held December 8. , As will be noted, the nominees are Messrs. Aiken, Downing, Wood and Tupper, they having lead the other two on the ticket by a good, decisive ma jority. ’ As was forecasted in thee columns yesterday morning, it will be observed that the ticket nominated lead the de feated candidates by unusually large majorities, considering the total votes cast. This only substantiates the state ment made by The News that two of fie candidates were simply placed on the ticket by the slate-makers in order to bring to it a cerain scattering vote. The result of the primary must have come in the nature of a surprise to Good Government club headquarters, for during the, past week leaders of that faction have been claiming that from 600 to 650 votes wciuld be polled. However, the conservative members of the Citizens club have conceded all along that the G-aod Government club would poll from 400 to 450 votes. So far as could be learned last night the result of the primary seems to have afforded immense satisfaction to the executive committee of the Citizens club. It is pointed out by the leaders of that organization that out of a white registration of 831 the highest candidate on the Good Government edlub ticket only received 370 votes, coming within 40 votes of polling half of the white registered vote. It will also be observed that the lowest man on the ticket only received 157 voltes, leaving 674 white voters who are not in sympathy with them. The primary yesterday was indeed, sa very notable affair, notable for the .fact that nearly every worker at the polls was an office-holder and almost every department at the city hall ‘was having a holiday so far as Gthe public workings of the de > department were concerned and •jvere precised . into service; the Office of the city clerk as well as that of the city treasurer and the chief 4f police being closed for tbe entire r day; notable for once again it smashed (precedents of the past and liverymen did a good business at the cost of the office-holders. During the afternoon ; vehicles of every description were put [to work- hauling voters to a white primary which stood practically with out opposition. Couriers on bicycles end on horseback were sent to the out skirts of the city to bring voters to the primary which had no opposition, and, in short, Brunswick was scoured from the border lines of Pelicanville to the tidewater gauges of the point in the work of beguiling, persuading and even begging voters to participate pate in this white primary—in which there was practically no opposition, So it was the first primary in the interest of sweet harmony, with from fifty ta seventy-five employes of the city and county actively at work for weeks in its cause, only succeeded in giving its highest candidate 370 vctes when it was openly claimed that fvom 80 to 90 per cent of the white voters of Brunswick were in favor of the primary and would participate therein. However, the campaign has just only begun- When the registrars will have completed their work' it Is es | timated that nearly 1100 voters will have been qualified and the battle will be fought out on December 8. The | Citizens’ club will meet in the course ctf a few days and will submit to the kind consideration of the people of Brunswick a ticket selected from am ong the best business interests of the community, and during the campaign a number of public mass meetings will be held under the auspices otf the Cit izens club and at such gatherings the people of this city will be given a few sound, substantial and conservative opposition with which the present regime now governing the city is con fronted. Mess Aiken, Downing, Wood and Tupper nominated by the Good Gov ernment club yesterday, are all sturdy business men and the vote received by them under the circumstances was a fitting testimonial to their good cit izenship, A MURDERER IS TO BE SHOT IN UTAH THIS MORNING.

According to the official announce men the trial begins today at Kish eneff. ! i: The arrangements for the trial all tend to show that the Russian gov ernment does not intend light to be thrown on its responsibility in con- nection with the notorious outrages.

No report cl the pro ceedings will be given to the public except through official channels, while the judges will all be for the govern ment, Rumors of the intended massacres were current two weeks before the outrageous event and nothing was done by the government to prevent it. MADELINE BESTLEY COMING, Will be Here Monddy Night in the “Mocking Bird.” The Buffalo News has the following to say of Miss Madeline Benley and the production of the “Mocking Bird" which will be at the Grand Monday night: “Madeline Besley was so attractive and pretty in the “Mocking Bird” at the Star theatre last night that the au dience almost entirely overlooked the fact that one could scarcely hear her voice a half dozen rows from the stage as Miss Besley was suffering from a serious affection of the throat but she struggled on through the opera, capti vating the audience with her charm ing manner and appearance, "This attraction was seen in Buffalo last year. The general effect of the piece is interesting and satisfactory and the costumes are prettier than the average and the light effects are sur prisingly pleasing. "Miss Besley started out in the “Mocking Bird” last week assisted by Edgar Atebinso-n Ely, whose smile is worth going miles to see. Ely is well liked in Buffalo and made more friends last night.

On account of a political scheme they were compelled to close their doors nothwithstanding the fact that the license money went on, just the same. One ot he prominent dealers said yesterday: “We obey the law but the "pri mary’' today is most too strong foir us. The idea of making us close out places of business cm account of the fact that a few politicians who are afraid of a general election had a little meeting and decided to have a primary because "we have fooled the negro sci much that we have play ed cur string out and can't fool them again.” “On the idea that we must close for these factional primaries I would just like to knolw what we would do in case the democrats, the republicans, the socialists, tbe pop ulist and various other parties should have primaries and on different days. We would simply have to remain closed half the time. "The Good Government club claims, when '•tii church people toi be against saloon,-, and maybe they are but how about, that Acre? How about the issuingggi dance hall license to the nor Pollard, gambler and spy. Is it not a fact that the for mer administration closed the Acre and the present "goody, goody set, (when they are talking to church peo ple,- opened it by letting this man Pollard have a license. How about the song of the sinful sirens in the damnable acre, sung -with the approval of the city council? Why are they turning their backs upon the legitimate saloon men, an alderman among the number, and issuing license to dives? ! “Don’t talk to me about this hypo-' critical, Arce loving council. They try to injure our business and foster Pollard in the Acre." Paupers Perish in Flames, Columbus, N, C.. Nov, 19, —The poor-’ house of this.

Washington, Nov. 19.—Tin- adminis tration politicians have been called ( upon to adopt a spectacular method of forcing Senator Hanna to accept the chairmanship of the republican | national committee thus placing hint, as they figure it. beyond the reach of [tempation in the presidential line. Several important c nferences have been htdd at the white house recently. | The last ot these have been attended by men ia congress an:! some outside of it who are recognized Roosevelt leaders. At these conferences the pos sibility oi' old man Mark allowing himself to be put in the attitude of a candidate for the nomination ag- ainst Roosevelt has been seriously dis cussed and it has been determined that he inufit be made to accept the chairmanship. They want this, not only because it will take him out of the race for the nomination, but, also because they know they will need his active service in the coming election. The plan, in brief, is to give a great love feast in honor of his Ohio vict ory a a date future.

SENSATIGNAL PAPER IS FILED More About the Fake National Finance Company PRESIDENT ROBINSON IN i! Affidavits Filed in the United States Court Against the B. & B. Pres ident and in the Supposed Company. The following is from yesterday’s Atlanta Journal: "In the interventions of Joseph Lake et al filed by H. P. McGee, W. P. Dill and Felder &. Rountree in the cases of the Atlanta National and the Southern Homo Building and Loan associations, orders to take evidence for the examination of Silas B. Dutch vr and George W. Adams were yes terday taken before Judge Newman at Rome. These orders are three affida vits attacking the National Finance Company of New York, were this to day filed in the clerk's office of the United States court. "it seems that when the interventions of the plaintiffs were filed charging that the National Fi nance Ci., was a myth and a dummy operated solely by W. A. Wimbisli and Eird M. Robinson. Wimbisli, in a card, daimed that the allegations were fal;o pointing to tlie fact that Samuel B.

RECIPROCITY BILL PASSED YESTERDAY BY A GOOD MAJORITY LITTLE LOCAL LINES. Small Items Gathered by Reporters of The News. The shipping men say another largo of vessels are bound liere and will arrive in a very short time. Tlie hacks were kept, busy yesterday working; about the primary. It was a good day for the drivers anyway. The health of the city is indeed, good right about now. In fact: it. has been . for tin* past several years. There are a large number of prison ers in the county jail. They will prob ably leave their boarding place when the superior court meets.

Many of the large fleet of vessels now in port are ready to" leave and will do so within the next few days, in the meantime, the shipping men say that others are now en route to take the places of those which are, to leave so the river front will still present a busy appearance. CONDITION OF THE TREASURY Partial Statement About the States Finances. Believing that -it will interest every class of our people, we give tbe follow ing extract from the last message o* Governor Terrell: “The state treasury has paid to the common school teachers all the money coming into the treasury which be longs to the school fund, and also the $400,090 which lie is authorized by law to transfer from the general to the school fund. These payments are not only larger, but were made much earlier in the year than formerly, and without borrowing any money for that purpose. In former years loans amounting to $150,000 to *300,000 have been necessary to enable the treasurer to make these pay-mends. To be able to carry out the provisions of qpr school laws without borrowing any money whatever is most gra*'ty ing. as it shows that the condition o( finances has considerably Improved. Indeed, it would not have been necessary to borrow- any money whatever during the present year had the general assembly convened In 0<: tober instead of June. After con ferring with the state treasurer it was ascertained that the sum of $(!5,00fl would be needed to pay the expenses ot this session of your body, and with bis assistance I have arranged to bor row that sum for five months at two per cent per annum, or five-sixths of one per cent for the term, from the following banks in this State, viz: Southern bank at Savannah; Neal Ixian and Banking Company and Fourth National bank, Atlanta; Ex change bank, Macon, and Third Na tlonal bank, Columbus. This loan, at such a remarkably low rnte, demon strates alike the high credit of the state and the excellent condition ol tbe Georgia ban 1 - SOMETHING ABOUT OATS. Hints From the State Agricultural De partment on this Subject. As for wheat, so also for oats the soil should be plowed to a medium depth and then well pulverized, for a good seed he I is necessary in order to produce the best results witii even so hardy a grain as oats, it is better tliat the still should be dry and mel low when they are sown In a moist season oats will do very well on a sandy soil, lmt the best yields, as a general rule, are made on a fine clay loam, with good drain ago. When the -ceil hod has boon web prepared and leveled, the oats may lie sown broadcast, or put in witii a drill The latter method is probably better, since when they are drilled in they are in a sort of trough, and when a freeze comes, the earth is not drawn away from the roots, as the ground rises with tbe freeze and settles with the thaws, but. is thrown around them. Thi pr< vents the crop from being in jured by a fro -ze. The winter oat Is generally sown in October at the rate of about two bush els io the acre. They afford good winter arid spring pasture. When the stock have ben taken off this pasture an ample < -p af grain will be ready for -reaping in June: but never allow stock to graze upon your grain dur ing wet or damp weather This crop, with comparatively little expense aid- greatly in making a farm self s-nst.iitiiug.
