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.

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 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.

"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.

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. Weds Admiral's Granddaughter.
