THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 3, NUMBER 56. ALL SATISFIED WITH TIE RESULT Tuesday Election Settled Negro Voting in This City WILL BE BARRED IN FUTURE Hereafter the Black Man Can Only Go to the Polls and Ratify Candidates Selected by the White Primaries. The result of Tuesday’s election was the topic of conversation in Brunswick yesterday, and everybody seemed to be of the opinion that the result sure ly means that the colored man will never have another vote in Brunswick, only to ratify the candidates first se lected by the white people. Indeed, both political factions are now strongly in favor of the white primary system, and the following lit tle campaign song was adopted by both sides yesterday: It’s good-bye coon forever more, Your voting days are surely o’er, You’ve had your chance, you will agree But you’ve got all you'll get from me. The result was accepted by the Citizens’ club in a most admirable manner and not a single member of the club, who opposed the primary candidates was heard tot express him self against the white primary sys tem. Everybody feels that the gentlemen elected to council will serve in a non-partisan fashion, in fact they were elected as representatives of no polit ical faction, and it is believed that the council of 1904 will be one of the best Brunswick has had in recent years. However, the victorv of the primary i i i'inmra—ri ' i T-yr ir_ tory. Indeed, some of the men who have supported the Citizens’ club for years past voted for the primary can didates purely on the principal of white primary. A general good feel ing almost to a lemarkable degree was notable among both the old factious yesterday and the general consensus of opinion is that Tuesday’s election will have more genuine weight in blot ting out old political scars than any thing that has happened in Brunswick in many years. As staled in these columns at vari ous times during the campaign the four gentlemen who will be conduct ed into council next month, together with those holding over, will insure an administration of public affairs that will be most satisfactory to the best interests of the community. Strange to say there has been no scramble for any of the offices in the gilt of the coming administration and there seems to be a general In clination to let matters remain as they are in at majority of cases. On the whole the local political situation, is really and truly in a better condition than it has been in ten years. MINSTREL SHOW HERE TONIGHT. Quinlan and Wall Company to Play at the Grand.

Brown vs. Max Isaac, equitable petition; on trial. MEMORY MENDING. What Food Alone Can do for the Mem ory. The influence of food upon the brain and memory is sot little understod that people are included to marvel at it. Take a person who has been living on improperly selected food and put him upon a scientific diet in which the food Grape-Nuts is largely used and the increase of the mental power that follows is truly remarkable. A Canadian who was sent to Colo rado for his health illustrates this point in a most convincing manner: “One year ago I came from Canada a nervous wreck, so my physician said, and reduced in weight to almost a skeleton and my memory was so poor that conversations had to be repeated that had taken place only a few hours before. I was unable to rest day or night for my nervous system was shat tered. “The change of climate helped rue a little but it was soon seen that this! was net at ail what I needed. I requir ed the proper selection of food al-j though X did not realize it until a | friend recommended Grape-Nuts to me and I gave this food a thorough trial. Then I realized what the right food could do and I began to change in my feelings and bodily condition. This kept up until now after 0 months' j use of Grape-Nuts all my nervous trou-j bie has entirely disappeared, X have gained in flesh all that I had lost and what is more wonderful to me than anything else my memory is as good as it ever was. Truly Grape-Nuts has remade me all over, mind and body, when I never expected to be well and happy again.’’ Name given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason.

TALK ON QUESTION 3f UNIVERSITY • Presbyterians Are Now in Session in At= lanta MAY REACH AN AGREEMENT Expected That it Wiil be Finally Settled Whether or Not the Uuiversities are to be Consolidated Atlanta, Ga., Deo, 9.—Presbyterians troughort the south are awaiting with | intense interest the outcome cf the | conference commenced in Atlanta to | day, which will go far toward settling | the uiolent controversy over the pro ! posed r< rnoival of the two centers of | Presbytt rlan education in this sec | tiun of he country. I The a;,Ration was commenced more | tlsan a year ago, when Atlanta launch ed a scheme to capture two large un iversities, carry them away to Georgia and establnsh a vast institution of learning valued at nearly $2,000,000 and which would rai with the great est universities of t : country. The two universit .s in danger of removal are the Con . bia Theolognca l Institute, located at Columbia, S C. JniversLj at Clark die, Tenn. The first named univer. y is under the control ol the Pres yterian synoc of South Carolina, Flo, nla and Geo: ,ia, .viiije the Clarksv re institution is controlled by the syt ->ds of Tenues ee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Atlanta, which is a Presbyterian stronghold, proposed that the South western Presbyterian University, val ued at probably $750,000, and the Co lumbia institution, valued at $500,000, should unite and come to Atlanta, promising that the Presbyterians of this city and state should raise another half million dollars, thus starting a great institution worth nearly $2,000,- 000. The synods of Georgia, South Caro lina and Florida, ci utroliing the Co lumbia university, < tdorsed Ihe pro posal, but a stumbling block was mot with when the suggestion was made tc the synods controlling the South western Presbyterian University. Tho synod of Tennessee in particular is op posed to the removal of the univer sity from Clarksville though the atti tude of the synods of Louisiana, Ala bama anl Mississippi is believed to be less hostile to the chome. The present conference is not de cisive in character, but is intended merely to. consider the teasibilify of the plan, and then the ways and means, If the conference decides that the scheme is feasible and practical and tlial no moral or legal obstacles are in the way, then the respectve synods wiil be asked to ratify the plan. This means that the fight, will be pro longed and that there will be further heated agitation among southern Pres byterians before a final settlement is reached. , CASHir.R BROWN IS MISSING.

Of tho few plays that are consider ed worthy of securing a place in mod ern literature, the people’s and crit ics’ favorite, "The Cavilier” takes pre cedence over all other works of the past year, for its many commendable attributes tend to permit it to per colate into the archives of permanency not only as a literary gem but as the j beacon light of that school of Araer | man writers of which George W.

PRICE—FIVE CENT3. ARE WORKING FOR TRE PRESIDENT Friends of Roosevelt Want to Cut Down Southern Delegates 10 \A 110,MAE CON VENI ION Roosevelt Mon Knew Southern Re publicans are for Hanna, and Will Push Scheme to Check the Senator. Washington, Deo. 9,-Are the re publican* of the southern states in danger of destruction as the result of President Roosevelt and Senator Han na? Many of them fear so, and they are now flocking to Washington iii tho hope of averting what to them would lie serious disaster. Coincident with the breaking out of tho present trouble comes the an nouncement of a revival of tile old scheme to so change the represent a turn in the republican national con vention as to cut the southern dele gation down to almost nothing, while the delegation from the heavily repub lican states would be greatly augu mented. it is not anew schenie.but there lias seemed to be no life to it until the present unheaval, which is causing such excitement in republican ranks. Now the suggestion comes from a New England member of the committee that in its call for the next national convention the committee should change the basis of representa tion from the congressional representa tion as it now is to a plan under whic each state shall be given one delegate for each 10,000 republican votes cast in the last presidential election. Favored by Roosevelt Men. What particularly worries southern republicans at this time is that the men who stand sponsor for the propo sition to change are almost entirely Roosevelt men, and they fear that tho influence of the administration may be thrown in favor of Ihe new plan. Heretofore Senator Hanna and his friends have been the best friends of the southern republicans aud have prevented the adoption of this plan, even when it has boon advocated and supported by such strong leaders as Senator Quay and Postmaster General Pavne. While Senator Hanna is still opposed to the change aud will fight, it, it is feared that resentment to wards the Ohioan lor his present at titude in relation to tho president, may inlluence the Roosevelt, support ers to array themselves in its favor as a rebuke to Hanna. The Roosevelt men realize that if Hanna should be come even a receptive candidate for the nomination, nothing canid prevent .the southern delegates flocking to his standard. South is for Hanna. The Roosevelt ofiiee holders in tho southern states would lie powerless to prevent a stampede to Hanna. Southern members of the national committee and other southern repub licans are flocking to Washington to use their influence with the admininis tration leaders to prevent their sup porting th eresoHitm-n '-. hicii v ill fco presented to the committee by Judge Brayton, the member from Rhode is land. To accomplish their end they are premising no end of southern sup porters to President Roosevelt. They have summoned their friends from all parls of tie- . untry and propose to put up the strongest tight pua&ible. Colonel Young id..od, the termer member of the national committee from Alabama, lias been her; some days working in this direction, hut uis outspoken support of Senator Hanna lias not been particularly beneficial so far as influencing the administra turn leaders is concerned.
