The above figures tell'in a nut-shell
the result of the aldermanic election
held yesterday, and it might he called
a landslide far the Good Government
club or the white primary movement,
as the ticket named in the primary a
few weeks ago was elected over the
Citizens club ticket by a good ma
jority.
.?**•••' whilv., . Q j*®*; hard
i.■ nature!! in the msft :rj of Bruns-!
wick, and not a single fight occurred
during the day. The friends and sup
porters of both tickets were on hand
early and worked faithfully all dur
ing the day, but they worked in a
friendly way, and it is not believed
that a half dozen unpleasant words
passed during the hours that the polls
were open.
The result carried out the claim
made by the white primary supporters
that their ticket would wiu by 200 or
more votes, and it is not believed that
a white man in Brunswick will now op
pose llie white primary sustern here
after.
Many of them, probably, thought
that they were right, but The News,
speaking lea- many of them, is glad
to say that they are willing to abide
by tbe majority.
It was demonstrated yesterday that
a majority of the negroes of Bruns
wick are for but one thing—money.
Probably seventy-five per cent, of the
negroes who voted yesterday were
paid for their ballots, and as high as
sls and S2O was paid for one vote.
However, as stated above, the elec
tion settled for good ond for all the
question of a white primary for the
naming of municipal officers in Bruns
wick hereafter.
Messrs. Downng, Aikeu, Wood and
Tapper, the four gentlemen nominat
ed yesterday, are well known Bruns
wick business men, and Tbe News
feels sure that they will make good al
dermen.
With the election of the ticket yes

MORE MONEY FOR
EXPERIMENT STATION
Congressman Brantley is Working for
an Additional Appropriation
of $5,000.
A private letter from Hon. W. G.
Brantley recently received in Way
cross incorporates the following state
ment. It will be good news to this
section;
“In reference toi the syrup station
at Waycross, the department of agri
culture will ask an emergency appro
priation of $5,000 to be immediately
available, for the purpose of covering
losses on the station this year. The
cost of the station was greater than
was anticipated, aue in part to the de
lay in getting the machinery and ow
ing to the late start, and there will
probably be a loss instead of a profit
in operating it. The department will
also ask an appropriation of $20,000
fur the purpose of continuing tko sta
tion, next year. It will b© my pleasuie
to urge the granting of those appropri
ations.”

White Murderer will Hang

A PLEA OE INSANITY MADE
Unless Governor Terrell Intervenes

Crib Will Pay for His Crime
On the Gallows.
The following interesting story tak
en from yesterday’s Atlanta Consti
tution, will be of interest to our read
ers, inasmuch as the case in question
has been kept up with in this city, the
killing having occurred at Nicholls,
on the B. and B. railroad.
Lee Qrib, the Coffee county murder
er, will be hanged for his crime on
Friday of this week, unless Governor,
Terrell intervenes and sets aside the
adverse recommendation of the prison
com'mission. .
Before passing on the case Govern
or Terrell will give Crib's attorneys
an opportunity to be heard in his be
half, and a telegram was sent them
yesterday notifying them that they
could he heard on Wednesday. There
has been some talk of an insanity plea
in this case, and Cribb might get an
other trial on that ground just as
Millard Lee did.
Cribb is now in Chatham county
jail awaiting the final disposition of
his ease. He was convicted of the
murder of a bey named Emmett White
at Nichols, Coffee county. Cribb is

ot Hew York Made Pro
test to Murphey;
Washington, Dec. 8. —According to
statements made today by several
prominent democrats who consulted
with Grand Sachem • Charles Murphy,
of Tammany Hall, while he was in
Washington, former Senator Charles
Towne’s chances of going to congress
to succeed Mayor-elect McClelland
have passed. It is said the democrats
of the Empire City have made a pro
test against the nomination of the
former senator, on the ground that
only a short time agoi he was in the
senate as a republican, and although
he did much for Tammany Hail in tile
recent election, there are plenty of
good democrats who did mure. Lead
er Alurphey is said to have listened to
the protests and to have promised that
Towne should not be named. It is
said a prominent New Yorker, named
Savage is to get the place: It is the
intention, however, the reports say, of
Tammany to reward former Senator
Towiie by naming him for some po
sition not so prominent as a seat in
congress.

Wife Fell jn U°ve With Husband “All
Over Again."
The wife of a well known attorney
at law ot Seward, Neb., tells a tale
worth reading: “My husband was a
soldier in the Civil War and was as he
called himself an old coffee cooler'
and had always drank very strong cof
fee.
"About a year agoi he complained of
a feeling of faintness every time alter
climbing his office stairs aud was also
troubled by terrible headaches that
almost drove him wild.
“He gradually grew weaker and
weaker until his affliction culminated
in nervous collapse and for weeks he
seemed to be fading away from us in
spite of all our efforts.
“The physicians pronounced him
strong and well with not organic troub
le whatever and there seemed to be
nothing the matter except the com
plete giving out of his nervous system.
“The doctors decided that coffee
was at the bottom of all his troubles
and ordered Pteistum Cereal in its
place. He has improved daily since
he quit coffee and began drinking
Postum and now says he feels better
than ho has felt for 20 years, head
aches are gone, no more fainting
spells and is gaining in flesh every day
and seems so much younger and hear
tier and happier than he has for years
that l have fallen in love with him
over again.
“Now for my-brother's case. A few
years ago he had a peculiar trouble
i His tongue was swollen aud sore at
{the roots aud covered underneath
I with festers.
"He thought his • jjliction was of a
cancerous nature il his doctor was
of the same opinua He could scarce
ly eat anything ai . became so poor
and run down he •'as simply a ner
vous wreck. He consulted various
physicians but m ■ were able i di
agnose his ease nr i • ip him in the least
"At last a duet r to whom h ap
plied said he belie, od my brothe was
coffee poisoned h 1 advised hull to
quit coffee an driri Postum. Ht gave
him no medicine but told him to give
Postum a fair peal and return to
him in b weeks. My brother had used
Postum only about ten days when the
festers disappeared from his tongue
and at the end of two weeks the sore
ness and swelling were gone and he
began to pick up in flesh and spirits.
"He has never touched coffee since
but drinks Postum all the time and has
never had the slightest return of the
trouble.

LAND ’O COTTON HERE TONIGHT
Grand Will be Open for First Time
a Few Weeks.
Junker & Corcoran’s bautiful pro

those plays which will live for years
because there is nothing vulgar, crude
or coarse in its construction, not filled
with melodramatic clap-trap. It is
simply a wholesome, heartsome play
a story from life in which the char
acters are natural and human, which,
when coupled with faultless presenta
tion by so capable a company of play
ers, makes it a play that everyone
should see.

THE PRESIDENT
MUCH WORRIED
Fierce Attack on Him By
a Leading Republican
Paper
POLIIICIANS ARE ALL
•STUDYING SI IUALION
Those Close to Roosevelt Think That
Hanna Instigated the Attack
Ohio Paper Calls on Party
to Turn Him Down.
Washington, Idee. 8. —The sensation
i the hour, so fir as the national cap
ital is concerned is the attack upon
resi ! vii Boos; veil contained in an
editorial of the Cincinnati Commercial-
Tribune, the leading republican organ
of the Buckeye State. The publica
tion of this editorial in the local pa
pers has given rise to a discussion
which lias completely overshadowed
tin; Wood case the president’s mes
sage and everyting else.
The Commercial-Tribune comes out
boldly for tlio nomination of soma
other, man to ho the republican stand
ard bearer in the presidential con
tesi, pointing with brutal rjjtjlin|pin j
to the weakness of President RqpkA*
volt, tile party dissatisfaction with
him and the extreme danger ct going
into the contest with him as the lead
er. Especial stress is laid upon tin*
condition in New York which, Tflu
Commercial-Tribune thinks,
it impossible for Roosevelt to carry
that state. There is no mention otf
any oilier man In particular, though
half a dozen men are named as more
likely than the president to unite hist
party.
More than ordinary interest in
taken in this attack because of the
known affiliations ot the newspaper.
It is regarded as the personal organ
of George B. Cox, tiie big republican,
boss of southern Ohio, who is very,
close indeed to Senator Hanna, amt
suspicious administration politicians
are inclined to see the fine Italian
hand of Uncle Marcus back of the
whole thing. Some of them construe
it as simply a means of forcing the
president to let up on his tight for
General Wood, while others see in it.
the beginnig of a systematic cam
paign in the interest t>f Hanna. At tha
white house the Commotcial-Tribunq
is sneered at as of no consequence,
but those who understand Ohio pol
itics and have knowledge of the inter
ests which control the paper are oC
the opinion that tb*'io may be serious
breakers ahead for Roosevelt. So far
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, is
about the only republican office hold
er of prominence who has had the
temerity to proclaim that lie is for
Hanna above Roosevelt, but there ara
a great many others who are anxious
for an opportunity to line up that way.
it. is not too much to say that the pres
ent indications are they have the op
portunity.
Thtv months ago President Roose
velt howt'd lie was considerably wor
ried over his chances for election, but
had no doubt of the nomination. Now
he is greatly worried It is said that
he regards the fight on Wood as direc
ted not at tlie general, but at himself,
and this Cincinnati attack is taken in
white house circles as evidence of the
correctness ol that theory. The best
indication that he is worried was
manifested today. He had at luncheon
Lieutenant. Governor Gordon of Ohio,
a personal friend, and in the course
of their Conference Roosevelt asked
Gordon the pointed question whether
jke Ohio convention would vote for
him or for Hanna. Gordon told him
that if Hanna is a candidate Ohio
would go for him in a whirl.
