VOLUME 3, NUMBER 67.
FOR BUILDINGAT
ST, LOUIS FI
1
Meeting was Held in This
City Yesterday and
Plan Discussed
SEVERAL SPEECHES MADE
Committee Appointed by Chairman
Kay to Take Charge of the Work
In Brunswick—This City Will
Assist the Mdove.
Horn. Dudley M. Hughes, of Twiggs,
commissioner general from Georgia U
the St. Louis exposition, Hon. Hugh V.
Washington, vice commissioner gen
eral and Hon. Glascock Barret, of Ma
con, one of the state commissioners,
arrived in the city yesterday morning
from Valdosta.
These gentlemen came to Brunswick
to solicit subscriptions for the erection
of a building for the state of Geor
gia at the great exposition to be giv
en in the metropolis of Missouri, next
year.
They were given a very cordial re
ception by the people of the city and
at eleven o’clock a meeting of cit
izens was held in the office of Mayor
Crcrvatt, presided over by Col: W. E.
himself one of the commissioners
from the state.
Col. Kay stated the object of the
meeting in his usual \appy fashion
and was roundly applauded when he
closed by introducing Commissioner
General Hughes.
Mr. Hughes, who is a very graceful
talker, outlined the plans in a thor
oughly interesting manner. His com
sion had been to St. Louis and when
they arrived there they found that
the site for the Georgia building as
agreed uiion, was an obscure one.
.They called on the commissioner gen
eral, Gov. Frances, told him what was
being done and finally succeeded in
securifg the handsomest site' on the
tyhole grounds for the Georgia build
ing. He said Savannah has promised
SI,OOO for the building, Valdosta SSOO,
Thomasville SSOO Bainbridge SSOO and
Waycross SSOO, and he felt certain
that Brunswick, the greatest port on
the south Atlantic would do her duty
in the matter.
Vice Commissioner Washington was
the nexa speaker and like Mr. Hughes
he liked his theme and handled it
splendidly. He thought South Geor
gia had more to offer those seeking
homes and investments than any other
section of the state, being made by a
section of the state, and he himselt
was astounded at the great industrial
strides noow being made by this sec
tion. He said his commission was not
seeking charity, was pointing out to
the people of the state what he consid
ered one of its greatest opportuni
ties. He was closely followed by those
present.
Commissioner Barret, was the las
of the committee to address thou
present, which he did very eloquently.
The constitution of Georgia made it
illegal for tthe legislature toi appro
priate for funds to be applied to th
construction of the buildng, but th
people of Georgia were going to see
to it that the empire state of the south
would not be ashamed of their home
when they visited the exposition next
year. He expected all of the cities of
the state to respond to the call and
he was sure progressive Brunswick
would do handsomely.
Short addresses were made by Coun
ty Commissioner W. R. Townsend and
Mayor CTovatt both of whom were
in deep sympathy with the movement
and wanned Brunswick |and Glynn
county to aid it in a substantial fash
ion. A motion was made by Col. C.
P. Goodyear that the chair appoint a
committee of seven “hustlers” to solic
it funds and find ways and meaDS for
Brunswick to do its duty in the matter.
Chairman Kay announced that
Brunswick had so many genuine
•‘hustlers” and that they were of such
a diversified class that he would post
pone the appointment of the commit
tee, but later i.. the day announced
it as fellows: C. P. Goodyear, chair
man, F. D. Aiken, C. Downing, J. -J.
Dott, W. R Townsend, C D. Ogg and
J. B. dUOibUOU.
This splendid committee of Bruns
wick’s business men will hold a meet
ing "at a very early date and will pro
ceed with the ‘ very important work
;which has been assigned to it.
After the meeting the visiting gen
tlemen were escorted to the Pheonix
club and were the guests of Col. Kay.
Later in the day they were given a
pleasant drive over the city and the
many points of interest ia a seaport
sity was shows to these Qsorgians,
who live in the interior.
They left for Macon last night and
were more than favorably impressed
with Brunswick.
Before leaving last night Mr. Hugh
es, the head of the committee, was
seen by a representative of The News
and in answer to the question, he
said he was thoroughly charmed with
Brunswick and her people, “you have
a great seaport here,” said Mr. Hughes
“and one that in the end must take
its place with the great cities of the
south.” "Its natural facilities are
wonderful and I am really surprised at
this magnitude of the shipping in
dustry of your city.”
This movement, it can be truly
said seems to have caught the atten
tion of our people in good earnest and
it is safe to say that they will aid it
in a very substantial way. ,

NEGRO WITNESS MET DEATH.
John Everett, White Man of Lowndes
Ccu-nty Charged With Killing.
'Valdosta, Ga., Dec. 22.—John Ev
erett, a white man living in the Cat
creek neighborhood, this county, is
charged with the killing of a negro
named George Jones on Saturday.

today, was to the effect that Everett
met the negro at Carswell mil!, and
after striking him with a stick shot
him with a pistol. The negro ran oft
into the creek swamp and his dead
bodv was found today.

grown out of a bill for a minor of

found against Everett, the negro ap
pearing as a witness before the jug'.
BHOT RABBIT FQR A WILD CAT.
Deputy Clerk Townsend Tells Joke
on Treasurer Smith.
City Treasurer Geo. H. Smith and
Deputy Clerk of the Snperior Court
A. O. Townsend composed a hunting
party Monday, and, from all accouts,
the two had a lively time.
It Is understood that the party ran
amuch with a wildcat early in the day
and a chase followed, which lasted
for several hours. Finally Mr. Smith
fired away at the wildcat and killed
a rabbit. Clerk Townsend says this
simply broke up the hunt, and several
hours spent in chasing the wildcat
couted for naught, when he had hoped
to bring him down with a shot just
before the treasurer fired at the rab
bit.

PUETTF GIFI TO
MANAGER BERRY
-—*
B. & B. Employees Present
Him with a Beautiful
Gold Watch
AS A 10KEN OF ESTtEM
Present Was Presented to Him Last
Night and Members of all Depart
ments of the Road Were
Interested.
Mr. G. W. Berry, the genial general
eral manager of the B. & B„ was pre
sented a very handsome gold watch
last night by the men connected with
the various departments of the road.
| Employees of all departments joined
in the remembrance, and it Showed
very plainly that Mr. Berrie’s pop
ularity is general and not confined to
any one department.
The presentation was made in his
office and came as complete surprise
to Mr. Berry. It was interesting
to ngfe the puzzled expression on his
face as all the employees of the road
w’ho knew what was to happen filed
into his office in a body and formed
a semi-circle aroiund his desk, while
Col. W. E. Kay, in an unusually happy
vein, presented the token of esteem
and love to Mr. Berry. After this had
been done, Mr. Berry feelingly re
sponded in what might be termed
a heart-to-heart talk with the men
under him, in which he impressed upon
them that his success was their suc
cess and their success bis stiacess,
and that co-operation was necessary
for a preper administration of the af
fairs of any railroad.
The watch was not to have been
presented until Thursday, but it be
came known late yesterday afternoon
that Mr. Berry expected to leave this
morning to spend the holidays with
his family in New York, and it was
therefore ncopr ary to pvasoni - •■he
watch last night.
Mr. Berry was also the recipient of
a very pretty gold match oox given
by Mr. Abe Rotchschiid, the popular
jeweler.

BRANTLEY TALKS
01 LIVE SUBJECTS
Congressman Spends a
Day Here a id Goes to
Black hear
“GET FACTIONS TOGETHER”
That is What He Thinks the Demo
crats Must Do First and Then
Talk of Who Will be the
Nominee.
Congressman W. G. Brantley, of the
i' Eleventh district, was in the city yes
terday and left last night for Black
shear, where he will spend Christinas
i returning here next week before going
to Washington.
Mr. Brantley was seen at the Ogle
thorpe last night by a News reporter
and he talked very interestingly of
national matters of importance and
with the reporter discussed the po
litical battle of 1904.
Congressman Brantley as when
ho left for Washington last month, is
of the opinion that Gorman is in the
; load for the demcratic nomination;,
and thinks he is favored by a major
ity of the demorcats in Washington.
“How about Judge Parker?” asked
the repr*er.
"Judge Parker is a very able man,"
said the congressman, "and would no
dioubt make the democrats a good
standard bearer. If New York dem
ocrats lino up for him and stand to
him in the convention I believe he
will have a good chance of securig the
nomination, but it seems that a ma
jority of tne New York democrats, or
a great many of them favor Got-nran.
“Party harmony is what we want
now. Get all the factions together
and then settle on a candidate,” con
tinued the congressman, and he thinks
that with a solid front, all factions
in line, the democrats have an excel
lent showing tit dote?ting the repub
licans next year, and lie says that ail
democrats in Washington are very
hopeful over the situation.
Mr. Brantley is quite sure that
Roosevelt will be named by the repub
licans, bn says there is considerable
opposition to him in republican ranks.
Locally, there is nothing very much
before cc r-tress of interest. Mr. Brant
iey says we are not in shape just
nr iw to s shi for an appropriation to se
cure a 3 ’-foot channel. We must first
try to get an appropriation for a sur
vey far anew project, and this, ho
rays cannot be done in a minute. Be
oides Brunswick, Mobile, Savannah
i.i.d other ports are after money for
the improvement of ‘neir harbors.
Concerning the *4 000, which was
appropriation at the last sessioon of
eengress Mr. Brantb says it will be
expended shortly. he government,
it seems, f s short of dredges and ev
tral are now being <. -ustructed am as
soon as they are o npieted one .’.ill
be sent here to woi .
As to the work before congress
when it convenes n xt month, there
ere not very many matters to be dis
posed of, and Mr. Brantley says the
lepublicans will do a ; little legislat. ;n
as possible. There are several mat
ters that have never been finally set
tled, the ship subsidy bill, the Pana
ma and trust questions, hut the con
gressman hardly thinks any of them
will receive very much attention dur
ing the present session.
As to the lightship for Brunswick,
Mr. Brartley hopes u> secure it, tut
says he has strong opposition in the
person of Speaker cannon, not that
ho is opposed particularly to estab
lishing one off our bar, but is now
fighting ail such bills. As chairman
cL the appropriation committee last
year, it was Mr. Cannon who caused
the defeat of the bill.
VETERAN PUBLIC MAN’S CAREER.
C,o.|. THpmas Wentworth Higg|inon
Celebrates Anniversary.
boston, Mass., Dec. 22.—C01. Thom
as Vtui.tnl: Higginson, student,
lauthor, abolutionist soldier, preacher
u.ut legislator, celebrated today his
eightieth anniversary of his birth at
ii s home in Cambridge. He has en
' joyed good health during the past
y -ars and continues even at this ad
' vanced age to take the keenest in
terest in publls affairs. Many friends
filled upon him today and paid their
1 respects and he also received numer
ous messages of congratulation from
friends und admirers in different parts
of the ecu ntry.
Today Colonel Higginson is known
to the wcrld chiefly as a literary man
but in bh early years he wa6 known
' ju a preacher who left hU church to
fight against slavery. After he was
graduated at Harvard, the law tried
its spell on him for awhile as it did
on Loiwell. but he fell under the influ
ence of Theodore Parker, and at
twenty-four became pastor of the Con
gregational church at Newburyport,
retaining this position for three years.
He was one of the first assailants of
slaverv, and lost his church on ac
count of his beliefs. Still under the
influence of Theodore Parker, he be
came what he called a “secularized”
minister and launched out as a reform
er, which he continued as a career
until 1858. And if called on today to
say whether he is a reformer or a
literary man. Colonel Hlgginson would
probably hesitate before answering.
STORES ARE ALL DECORATED.
Streets of the City Now Present a
Pretty Appearance.
Many of the merchants were busy
yesterday decorating their stores for
Christmas and cedar aud holly now
dawn a majority of the places on
Newcastle street, which adds greatly
to the busy appearance of the city.
Yesterday the holiday shoppers were
out in numbers again and all of the
merchants reported a good day’s bus
iness.
A BEAUTIFUL LINE OF SHOES.
J. A. Smith is Now Displaying His
New Line.
Probably the best and largest line
of shoes ever displayed in Brunswick
is to be found at the store of J. A.
Smith, our exclusive shoe dealer.
Mr. Smith, as is well known, handles
several brands of the leading shoes
and always has a full supply of each
on hand, but this season he has pur
chased an unusual arge and varied
stock.
For the ladles he has the well known
Dorothy brand, which, as a ladies’
shoe, has but few equals; for moa ho
handies Douglas, and for boys aud
girls there are all kinds of well known
brands to bo found at his establish
ment
If you are figuring on giving some
friend or relative a pair of shoes for
Christmas, pay his store a visit and
you are sure to be peased.
HEADQUARTERB FOR TOYS.
Glogauer’a ia a Veritable Mecca for
thia Line of Goods this Season.
One o fthe prettiest line of toys ever
displayed in thia city is the magnifi
cent one now being shown at Gld
gauer’s.
This energetic and clever Bruns
wick merchant can be well called the
pioneer toy dealer of this city. When
most of us were still school boys, his
old store at the corner of court house
square and Newcastle street was head
quarters for toyß and fireworks.
The condition is not materially
changed, only for improvement today
and his large and handsome store is
stocked with a very beautiful line of
everything calculated to please the
little ones.
He invites Santa Claus to call
and look over the stock before mak
ing purchases.
The Weather.
Forecast for today in Georgia: Fair
and continued cold.

Stringent Ruling Regard
ing Payment of Pension
Certificates
GEORGIA CASE CAUSE OF IF
Where Woman Personates Widow of
Deceased Pensioner and Bank
Pays, Latter Will Be Held
Responsible.
Washington, Dec. 22.—1 tls stated
at the treasury department that where
a pension certificate lias been issued
to a wornau who personated the widow
of a deceased pensioner and pension
agents’ checks have been drawn paya
ble to her and delivered to her upon
voucher executed by her and the bank
cashed such checks, which were in
/due course paid at the subtreasury
| upon which drawn, the gevenrment
will make reclamation of the amount.
In other words bankers and otheo
persons who cash yen-sija checks a-s
charged with llie rj pinsiclity o r eg
tablishmg the ideality of the payeea
of suca checks to me same extent
that they were charged with the re
sponsibiity of establishing the identity
oi the payee of checks issued iu ordi
tiayr commercial transactions. ’fn<i
exhibition of a pension certificate is
not indeuUlicatioii fo the person nam
ed therein.
The rule was held in a case arising
from Georgia wherein one Clarissa
Owens, whose real name was Modlle
Melton, obtained a pension, it is said,
by personating a deceased wife of a
soldier, and receiving payment at the
rate of $8 per month from April 8,
1901, to May 4, 1903.
It developed iu the examination of
this claim that tine soldier left a
widow who is supposed to have died
iu Florida. Molly Melton, a sibter of
the soldier, personated her rister-in
law, obtained the pension, forged 6C*
law to the checks and obtained the
dorsemeuts of her deceased sister-lu
moirey. For this offense she was tried
in the United States district court
at Savannah, Ua., and was sentenced
to one year and one day’3 confine
ment in the penitentiary.
