WHAT WILL COUNCIL
DO ABOUT FRANCHISE?
IE RAPIDLY
DRAWS NEAR
—♦ —
Solons Seem to Be in
Rather an Embarrassing
Position
WILL THEY COLLECT BONO?
Not Generally Believed That City Can
Go to Court and Collect the
Bond—Council Must Solve
The Situation.
What's going to he done with that
trolley franchise? What’s the situa
tion, anyway?
That is the question being pro
pounded almost hourly by Jirunswi. k
business men. But who can answer
it? Not even the members of coun
cil.
The .'lar.cliiso granted to J. H. Neff,
of Jacksonville, expires in just six
days—August 10. By that time four
miles of the road was to have bee i
completed or the bond of SIO,OOO fur
nished by Neff was to he forfeited.
Will the city collect the 'bond? Well,
hardly,
Now going into the matter seriously
there is much speculation us to what
will he done by the city council iu
the matter. The soions meet on
Thursday night of the present week,
which will be the last session held be
fore August 10. What action they
will take is a puzzle and it is known
to be a fact that it is puzzling some
of the members of the council even
more than it is the taxpayers. They
are facing a most embarrasing posi
tion and just how they will get out
remains to be seen.
Way back yonder, several months
ago, three or four little sapplings were
brought *to the city and stuak in
the ground. This was done to carry
out that portion of the contract which
required that work should begin in
three months. These little sapplings
cost about ten cents each. Thats the
extent of the expense that Neff an 1
his associates have gone to in the er
ection of a trolley line in Brunswick.
Neff has failed in every essentia,
way in his contract with the city. He
has not even made a noise like a
man who intends to build a trolley
line
Some of the members of council,
of course, when asked about the mat
ter came back with the reply that
Neff is waiting on the light and water
cpmpaqy and the city to settle the
arbitration fiver thp plant of the lyater
company. That's the only excuse they
Cjii) discover, and it is surely a thin
and weak one. Asa matter of fact
that has nothing whatever to do with
the trolley line. Four miles was to
have been completed and in operation
by August 10. It will certainly take
some speedy and record breaking el
ectric line construction to fulfill the
contract.
None of the members of council
seem to be in position to say what
will be done, and the matter is cer
tainly not going to die without a
funeral. The city administration had
an opportunity to give Brunswick a
trolley line and it is now up to them
to know why it was not done. There
are parties in Brunswick and els
where who are anxious to build a line
here who have been for some time;
ipen prominent financially but
they dare not ask for a franchise, af
ter the treatment accorded a local
ppmpany jast year. It is up to the
council tfi solve the problem, and,
the people, who have been the suffer
ers by their former actions, are only
waiting to see how the matter is to
be settled.
But here’s a pointer: Neff will nev
ei build the trolley line and the coun
cil will never collect that SIO,OOO bond.
NOTHING HEARD OF THE CASE
Not Known Whether or Not Mr. Mc-
Bride Will be Returned Here.
The hearing of the writ of habeas
corpus in the case of Dr. James Mc-
Bride, charged with kidnapping in this
county, was scheduled to come up for
hearing in Chester, Penn., yesterday,
but whether the case was heard or
not could not be learned."
Judge A. D. ale expected to hear

SNAP SHOTS AT LOCAL EVENTS.
Little Items Gathered During the Day
By News Reporters.
Workmen will begin laying the new
tile sidewalk on the north side of the
building occupied by Levy Monday.
It is said that lot owners will be
notified to cut the weeds on their
premises.
Several new automobli'; are ex
pected in the city within the next few

ber are figuring on buying machines
i ntlie near future.
Two or three of the buildings in the

The Iloke Smith club expects an un

The usual crowd was on the streets
last night, tint Monk street was not
blocked by negroes as lias been the
case in the past on Saturday nights.
Chief Burney lias given orders to
the negroes to "move on” along this
street, and hereafter it will be kept
clear.
HIE DUE
Generally Believed That it Will Pass
the Senate and Become a
Law in Georgia.
It seems that the cigarette hah
in Georgia must go. It is predicted
that the senate will pass the anti
cigarette bill, which passed the house
a few days ago.
Very few members of the upper
house use the “coffin tacks” and even
they are in favor of knocking them
out. It seems to be the sentiment of
the senators that cigarettes are dead
l.v weeds and should he legislated out
of Georgia. It the general judiciary
committee, which meets next Tuesday
specially for the purpose of passim;
on the measure passes favorably on it
the senate will follow suit.
FIFTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE
ATTENDED THE BARBECUE.
The big barbecue given at Offerman
yesterday was a big success and those
from this city who attended report
that at least fifteen hundred people
were present. They were all well
fed by the Offerman people.
There were several speakers, Con
gressman Brantley being among them,
and the large crowd was treated to
some good oratory.
Politics, of course, war, the topic
of conversation among the large
crowd and everybody seemed to tie
for either Col. Estill or Hon. Hoke
Smith. The Estill men claimed that
half the crowd was for their candi
date, while the Hoke Smith adherents
claimed two-thirds of the crowd.
THEY WENT THROUGH ON TIME
Riflemen are in Chickamauga This
Morning.
Commercial Agent Ligeour, of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic.,
who accompanied the Brunswick Ri
flemen as far as Cordeie, returned to
the city yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Ligeour reported that the special ar
rived in Cordeie on time and that the
members left for Macon over the
Central in good spirits. At that city
tho company joined the other com
mands of t'he First Georgia regiment
and continued to Chickamauga.
They were due to arrive at the
camp grounds late yesterday after
noon, and today the boys will lie busy
preparing for the encampment which
formally opens tomorrow.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
NOT TO MEET AGAIN.
The executive committee will not
meet again before the state primary

erally understood that the committee
wouuld hold a meeting and arrange

tigation was made it was discovered
that the committee when they met
several months ago to fix the rules,
etc., for the county primary, it also
made all arrangements for the state
election.
The state committee, as is wet
known, fixes the rules for the pri
mary, which has already been done.

ID BE HELD AT THE PRISON
The Two Prisoners Now Claim That
Money is Due Them by the Gov
ernment for Work Done Un
der Contract.
New York, Aug. 4.—At tile request
of Kellogg Rose, of this city, coun
sel for Green and Gaynor, under con
viction for embezzlement in connect
ion with the harbor improvements at
Savannah, G;i., the attorney general
of the United Slates lias fixed Sep
tember 27 next as the date for the
by the government of
Green and Gaynor in their claims
now pending against the government
in the court of claims. The axamin
alion will be held at the prison in
Macon where Green and Gaynor are
confined, according to a statement
made today by L. I .all in Kellogg, who
saiii he had received notice to that
effect from Attorney General Moody
at Washington.
Mr. Kellogg said: "This is the act
ion brought by the Atlantic Contract
ing Company under which name Green
and Gaynor did business against the
government to recover damages for
breach of the same contract which
formed the basis of charges on which
they were recently convicted in Sav
annah. Our clients claims amount to
about $350,000 actually earned and
■ h'tified by the government officers
. .id admitted unpaid, for, in addition
to over $500,000 in profits in work
remaining to be done. After all the
evidence for the plaintiffs in these
proceedings had been introduced, the
government procured a stay, pending
the absence of Green and Gaynor In
Canada. Their presence in this coun
try now makes it necessary for the
stay to be vacated and the examina
tion had. This course was taken at
the suggestion of ocunsel for the
plaintiffs who are anxious to procee i
with the case.”
Green and Gaynqr were convicted at
Savannah. They were fined over SSOO,
000 and sentenced to serve two years
each in prison.
