GOOD SEDUCE
FROM COAST LINE
They are to Discontinue
Running Mixed Trains
to Brunswick
ORDERS ISSUED YESTERD4Y
The Company Has at Last Decided to
Give the People of Brunswick at
Least a- Decent Passenger
Service, Effective Today.
That keeper of good and perfect rail
way gifts—The Atlantic Coast Line
—has vouchsafeed unto the people of
this city a great benison, a magnificent
blessing. We are to have sonic gen
uine passenger trains over that line
into and out of the city of Brunswck
in the future.
Think of it.
No more passenger trains made up
of fiat cars, box cars, stock cars and
every oiker kind of old cars except
passenger cars.
But it is true, and the superintend
ent of transportation, through Superin
tendent Wright, ysterday issued or
ders to the effect that in future trains
Nos. 89 and 90 from Brunswick, will
he devoted exclusively to passenger
cars and the other class of cars will
have to take their chances on getting
attached to the regular freight thains.
This will be pleasant news to the
people of this city, who for the past
year have witnessed the disgraceful
spectacle of seeing Brunswick passen
gers dumped at the union station,
from a train that resembled a log or
wrecking crew more than anything
else.
The new order goes into effect today
when a general change in the sched
ules on that line in and out of the city

SCORES UNCLE SAM.
A Canadian Official Roasts the “Sel
fish roiicy” of the United States.
Toronto. Ont, Dec. 12.—1n a speech
to the young literary club, Sir Rich
ard Cartwright, minister of trade and
commerc in the dominion government
said:
"I think Chamberlain means more
than his critics give him credit fen.
He sees the extraordinary power the
selfish policy of the United States has
placed in Great Brafcain’s hands.
Three courses are open to Great Brit
ian. She can use her power toi force
reciprocity on the United States, she
can use it to stimulate imigratlon and
food production in countries otner than
the states or she might use it to pave
Ihe way for a trade alliance between
the English speaking people. Such
an alliance would mean a worldwide
people. We may never live to see the
two great world empires—the Russian
and the English speaking. I would
guard against the United States.
They have good qualities although
thev have sometimes descended to
eliarp practices.

STEEL TRUST ECONOMICS.
Officials Held a Big Conference Yes
terday at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa., December 12. —To-
day’s conference between the officials
of the United States Steel corpora
tion and the heads oif the constituent
companies was for the purpose of set
tling the details of the wage reduct
ion which has been decided is neces
sary in view of the condition of the
steel market.
From a reliable source it is learned
that the reduction will effect all de
partments and include managers and
all office help as well as th ethous
ands of men employed in the mills.
In those mills employing union men
there is an agreement between the
company and the Amalgamated Asso
until the agreement expires. It is
ciation prohibiting a change in wages
expected, however, that the Amalga
mated Association will make wage
concessions satisfactory to the com
pany.
Shouid the association decline to
Vnake such concessions it is expected
that the corporation will meet diffi
cultv by closing down the union
plants and running the non-union mills
which, at reduced wages, would be less
expensiewe toi operate.

BRUNSWICK, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13, 1903.
STRONG PLEA FOR
STAPLE COTTON
—♦—
Congressman Brantley In
troduces a Bill In
Congress
WANTS AN APPROPRIATION
The Government is Asked to Aid in
Locating the Disease of the
Sea Island Article in This
Section.
From all indications there seems
toi be something radically wrong with
the production of sea island Cotton in
the lower counties of the state of
Georgia.
This is a maitter In which this
city is very deeply interested for the
simple reason that a great bulk of
this staple is handled for shipment
through this port.
For these reasons, as well as others,
it should be a matter of satisfaction
to our people generally tot know that
Congressman Binantley has introduced
in the lower house of congress a bill
asking that an appropriation he made
from the federal treasury to be ex
pended on a chemical investigation
into the cause that prevent a larger
production of this character of cotton
in south Georgia.
This is a splendid bill and is One that
should have the endorsement of the
people at large. It is a weii known
fact that the sea island cotton in the
south Georgia districts is affected with
some disease, whereby the yield has
shown marked decreases lately and it
is to be hoped that the national gov
ernment will make the appropriation
and if possible ascertain the reason of
the evil.
The matter will be acted upon at
the present session of eongres.,
With reference to the bill the fol
lowing Washington telegram will be
interesting on the subject:
Mr. Brantley had conferences with
tha secretary and with Dr. Gallaway,
chief of the bureau of plant industry,
land Assistant Pathologist Ortcm was
sent to Georgia to investigate. The
necessity for some remedy is so evi
dent that it is designed toi establish
experiment farms near Blackshear and
Valdosta, at which the government ex
perts will seek to produce a strain
which will resist the disease.
It is also the aim of the department
to demonstrate the value of a proper
rotation of the crops. As Geargia pro
duces more than half the Sea Island
cotton crop of the country, and as
most of that is raised in his distiict,
Mr. Brantley will use his best efforts
to secure from congress the necessary
appropriations for the experiments.
He believes he has assurances which
guarantee success. The other south
ern coLgiessnien will cooperate with
him. ,
A Good Opportunity.
Have you seen thait pretty litltle
pony and buggy owned by Albert Arn
heiter? Itis to be raffled oin Christ

a chance, SI,OO only. Get your chan

Picture of pony and buggy can be
seen at Morgan's drug store. Anyone
who wins the team and does not want
it for his own use, Mr. Arnheiter
will give them SIOO for it.
Some Opportunities.
Messrs. Joel Bros., the reliable pawn
brokers on Bay street, now have on
hand a number of unredeemed pledges
which would make very handsome
Christmas presents and which they
will offer to the trade at very attract
ive prices. There is no trouble to
display the gooide and those needing
such articles will do well to call on
them.
Quiet in Police Circles.
Last night was rather a quiet one
in police circles and there was very
little doing with the “cops.” Of
course there was a few Saturday night
drunks, but that was about all.
Plenty of Burglars
Durnig the past week several mer
chants on Newcastle street have been
visited by burglars and quite a large
amount of goods have been stolen.
The police have been advised and are
keeping a sharp lookout for the guilty
parties. A _

Strange Adventure of a
Quartette of Theatri
cal Men
THEY DRIFTED 700 MILES
Left a Point Near Athens in Small
Boat Two Months Aga and/tfn*
i . _ / 'Ar
rive in This City Safi?
and Sound.
Four ventnresome young tliespians,
accustomed to aiming all kinds of|
stunts behind brilliantly illuminated
foot lights, arrived in the eity on
the steamer Hessie last night and re
port that they have been playing on
an entirely different stage for the
past two months.
The young men are Messrs. S. Spar
row, Chas. F. Bowen, Joe Walters and
George Westlake. They are out of
commission just now and while at
Athens decided to take an inland
cruise on the Oconee to the land of
flowers. They went to work and
built thm a boat twenty-one feet long,
launched her at Barnett Shoals, near
Athens, and without any means of lo
comotion, besides paddles, proceeded
tot drift down the coast into Florida.
They report a very dangerous but
quite an interesting trip. In all they
drifted more than 700 miles. At Mil
ledgeville, the party stopped long
enough toi erect a cabin on the boat
and then started on their journey
south. For days and days they report
thiat they were in the water half
of the time and proceeded without
meeting a single soul. They were
pretty well stored on the provision line
were supplied with funds and had
no trouble except thai afforded by the
pranks of the water, which was very
dangerous, two of their dogs being lost
on the trip. They finally reached
Darien, where a bad mishap occurred
—the staunch little craft sank in thiat
harbor and they were compelled to
raise and make many repairs on her.
At this point they asked Capt. An
derson to give them a tow, which the
geniaj captain did and the crowd,
boat and ali arrived here last night
safe and sound.
Thy will remain in the city for a
week and will then proceed to Florida
in the boat built on the banks of the
Oconee in north Geargia.
The party is a very clever one and
they claim that in spite of the hard
ships, which they wore at times
compelled to undergo, that the exper
ience was a novel one and one they
really enjoyed.
GETS A GOOD JOB.
F. B. Pierce Succeeds Col. Locke in
Good Position.
Savannah, Ga., December 12.—Fur
man B. Pearce, who has been con
nected with the office of the United
States marshal in this city for two
years as office deputv, has been ap
pointed chief of the office deputies
for the southern district of Georgia.
The appointment was mane a few days
ago by United States Marshal Barnts,
and has been confirmed by AttonJf
General P. C. Knox.
Mr. Pearce succeeds Colonel Rich
ard D. Locke, of Macon, who recently
died. Mr. Pearce will lie succeeded
in his former position by Henry G.
Tucker of Macon.
It is not known whether his new
duties will call Mr. Pearce from Sav
annah.
He is the youngest man who htis
ever held the office of chief office dep
uty, his predecessor being 65 years
of age.
Unless Mr. Pearce is reassigned the
headquarters of the office force will
be iu Savannah. This will mean a
material increase in the volume oi
business and probably necessitate the
assignment of another office deputy tit
the Savannah office. Mr. Pearce is
from Thompson, Ga., where his pa
rents reside.
Mr. Pieerce is well known in this
city, having visited here several times
in an official capacity. He has been
in the service for several years and
his appointment will be well received
in all sections of the district.

BRUNSWICK MAN
A Gfl LOTHARIO
I
! ,
I homas C, Borden Figures
in the Noted Starke
Case
HE FORMERLY RESIDED HERE
, 14 was Whose Honeyed Words De
ranged the Mind of Stark and
Impelled Him to Murder His
Wife’s Brother.
In the case of J. E, Starke, now on
tiiial in Jacksonville for the murder
of his brother-in-law, John Angel, a
full account of the crime at the time
it was committed having appeared in
these columns, it seems an on old
Brunswick man has been brought into
the case, being charged with having
written a lcwe-letter to the wile of
Stark, who chanced to find it and be
came demented on reading it.
The man in question is Thomas C.
Borden, who resided here some ten
years age, being' employed by W. H.
Wheelwright & Cos. Borden was
quite a handsome fellow and cut a fig
ure in Brunswick’s social circles and
of course will be r membered by a
large number of th; people of this
city.
The letter, suppos id to have been
written by Borden t Mrs. Starke and
which admitted toi the jury trying the
case and published in the Jacksonrille
Metropolis of yestei ay is as follows:
(The "he" referre! to in the letter
is the husband now on trial char ed
with the murded.) ,
My Dear Little Girl: Your very
long letter came yesterday and I
would have answered on same after
noon but from the fact that he told
me he was going up to see you on
Thursday, but I see him still her.e,
and I can’t keep from writing any
longer.
I see from your letter that you are
having a real good ‘ime, and kicking
up so much fuss generally that Mrs.
Roberts could not stand it longer,
and left both you and Sophie. I don’t
blame her, for I am afraid that both
you and Sophie are more than she
could handle. Both of you be sure and
be good and look out far those good
looking boys around White Springs.
Since I wrote you last i have been
real giddy myself, having been to the
dance I wrote you of; thought of you
often and wished so many times my
little girl could have been with me.
Generally speaking, 1 was quite
quiet, danced only a few times. Guess
he has written to you that he lost his
position at council meeting a few even
ings ago, and Judge Killyer was given
the place; it was quite a surprise to
his friends; I did not think that the
council would vote him out. I have
not had talk with him latel”, but
will in a few days, but politics will
get a fellow In all kinds of trouble, and
I feel real sorry about it all. I notice
what you say about my cousin, and
1 want to say to you now that I never
open my mouth to him about about
any of my private doings. He and
Jennie try to tease me sometimes,
but I never say anything to them
which would give them any informa
tion one way or the other. I am
very careful, and would not for worlds
of happy days give out any of my se
crets.
1 am afraid I am getting jealous
about my blue-eyed friend, and I do
not like the idea of him being with
you so much. Wish it were me instead
—do you?
Theie is going to be a moonlight
ride on the Henry Lee tonight, but I
will net go. Don’t you wish there was
a boat on the Suwannee river, and we
could float away together in it?
Wouldn’t it be nice?
It is raining this afternoon and 1
have thought of you often doing the
day, and wished that we might he to
gether again—how I would love to. 1
would he the happiest of boys.
However, I look forward for the
many good times yet to come, and
j the many happy oments we may
spend together, n , darling.
News is a scar' j article in kernan
dina, and I hav been working so
hard I know very little.
Good-bye; my art full of love and
a big kiss to you Ever yours,

DON’T SHOOT FIREWORKS
Unless You Want to go Before the
Police Court.
To make things around the city a
little more livelier than usuel last
night, several people thought they
would discharge fireworks for awhile,
but Assistant Chief of Police Owens
soon put the quietus on the sport.
It is strictly against the ordinance
of tflie city to discharge fireworks
within the city limits, and Chief Bur

FOR A Y. M. C. A. ASSOCIATION
Movement Again on Foot to Establish
Branch Here.
A well defined movement is said to
now be on. foot for the formation of
a local branch of the Young Men’s
Christian Association in this city.
Brunswck is the only larger ctv in
the state not in possesion of one of
these branches and the state organiza
tion is now at work on the advisabil
ity tof locating one here at an early
date.
Some years ago one cf these asso
ciations was formed in Brunswick
but for some reason interest in the
movement died out and the branch was
abandoned.
There is a strong sentiment here for
its reestablishment and it is very like
ly that this new movement will
meet with success.

Greater Georgia Association Secures
Bankers Journal for Atlanta.
That, the Greater Georgia Associa
tion, of which Brunswick is a mem
ber, is doing some good work is best
evidenced by tiie following fom the
Atlanta Constitution of yesterday:
A journal that will be devoted to the
banking interests of the south will
probably be started in Atlanta. It is
to be started as a direct result of the
work of the Greater Georgia Associa
tion, of which .1. K. Orr is president,
and which is endeavoring to attract la
borers of other sections of the country
business men. farmers and skilled ia
to Georgia by placing before them
the advantages and resources of the
state.
The new journal is to bo started by
Richard A. Brown, of Kansas City,
and George C. Hunter, of Dos
Moines, lowa, who are investigates
Atlanta as a financial center. These
gentlemen expect to start a banking
journal somewhere in the south, de
voted exclusively to the southern
banking interests.
This section of the country has no
bank jarunal,, and as the financial in
terests here are very important, ami
