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.

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. A MAGNIFICIENT STORE. Rothschild’s Jewely Emporium Among Handsomest in the State.

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.

Badoye, FOUR HUGERS REACH IDE PORT 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.

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, 1 om. Ship Notice.

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. i 1 Milly Green Goes Free.
