THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 5, NUMBER 239 HOKE SMITH TALKS TO BRUNSWICK FOLK ABOUT PORT RATES 1 POSITION MADE PLAIN •—— In letter to Business Man Shows Where local Mer chants Would Gain A CONCISE STATEMENT The People’s Candidate for Governor Explodes Some Fallacies —Tells rite Local Dealers Where They Will Save Money. Over zealous campaign orators have been telling the people of Brunswick a whole lot that they did not know about the port rates lure of late. Some of the anything-to-beat-Hoke Smith spellbinders have Hated on the stump, through the mails and the ipiroSs that the operation of the proposed system of port rates would work a hardship on the MERCHANTS OK BRUNSWICK AND WOULD PRE VENT THEM FROM JUST COMPET ITION WITH THE DEALERS IN OTHER CITIES. It has proven to he like a number of fallacies introduced in the pres ent campaign and in order that the contention -/of Mr. Smith may get properly before the people The News desires to state that a well known Brunswick business man a few days ago addressed a letter to the peoples candidate asking for a concise state ment of his .position on the port rate Question and asking lor an explana tion of just how the system of rates referred to would operate in refer ence to Brunswick. The letter of Mr. Smith, which is short, but very full of meat, is as i’ollpwSr “The port rate fight Is simply an effort to compel the railroad c 'mpan ies to give lower rates from the ports to interior points. “The railroads, in combination wit.i certain steamship lines, receive cer tain rates on different classes of freight. If freight is brought to Brans wick or Savannah by (jpats, the rajlroad commission oor piits the rai|rpads fo charge about pne-thjrd more tha nthe railroads re ceive when the freight is brouoht to our ports by the steamboats alone with which they are in combjn,it‘on. “I insist that the railroad commis sion should reduce the rates from our ports to afl Interiour points and com pel the owners to charge no higher bates whejn an independent vessel brings the freight to Brunswick or Savannah than they charge when the lines with which they are in combin ation bring the freight. “The effect of this reduction of rate's would be to give far Letter rajes all over Georgia to the jobbing trade of Brunswick and Savannah. Nothing could be done tor either of these cit ies that would help them so much. It would also bring independent ships into our ports. “I will speak In Savannah next Sat urday night and go into the subject elaborately.” If there is a business man, a ship per, a wholesale merchant or any other class of commercial people in this city who cannot fail to appreciate this position of Hoke Smith, Ihe peo ple’s candidate for governor?

POPULISM EVER EXISTED The Judge Thinks That Ail Populists are Necessarily Democrats an.! Explains Why the Now De funct Party Was Formed. Mr. Editor: [n a communication from a Patterson resident to a Way cross paper qttofi'd or referred to in Miomlay afternoon's paper, it is stated that when Mr. Brantley closed his Offerman speech Mr. Jeff Dickson who. the article fairly intimates, is or was a populist, yelled “vote for Hoke Smith, fellows, wo have a clian.o to get back into power, vole for Hoke Shith,’’ and then the article quotes that contributor as saying: "What did Mr. Dickson mean by that ‘we have a chance to get back into power?’ Evidently the author suggests that Mr. Dickson meant that populists hail that chance, but the inference or de duction, seems to he not'fair or reas onable, because the populist have at, no time teen in power in GCeurgia and hence could not get hack into power because one can’t get hack into that which he has not been in before. Now, had Mr. Dickson said: "Wo have a chance to get in power, there might have been cause for the ques tion, even alarm, to those sensativo nervous members of the party who take fright every time a populist changes his tobacca. But the demo crats have been in power long and strong in Georgia. Mr. Dickson, like tile great host of the po'puiist. party in Georgia, had been a democrat. They, these populists, were giving promise of coming “back” into the democratic party, coming back int-i file father’s house, coming back to slay, Tliis, Mr. Dickson must have known, must, have hoped for. Some people have advised the populist not to vote in our primary, ‘but to sty out, and, reasonably, Mr. Dickson wanted them to conic back, so ids ad vice to ids neighbors was vote, v.o.te for Ifoke Smith, lie knew that when they did this they would lie horn*' again, members of the old. party one ’ thorp, lie know what party was in power, mi l ho knew ti e |cpuliug who became members of it, cv vitii<_ of tlieir membersliTp in and association with it, would ho also in power, back in power. \ And just here, Mr, Editor, let, in esay to you that some of the 'best men that ever belonged to the democratic party became members of the popu list party, not because they desiren to desert it, but because they wore driven from it by the unbearable, cursed ring rule which for the laid lifter n year, or thereabout'', has dom inated Ihe party council's in this state inti! men fit for but lackeys, henen men, have sat in the governm s ehali hich greatness and virtue and worth had formerly occupied. The consti tution of thru government, prohibits Ijgninhni; nt even for crime. The democratic i-.iiiy of Georgia cannot afford to criticize however, to (hose ot its members, who, in good faith yet in mistake, left its fold. i write 'bis in n't man’s interest. I write it for tip; sake of right, and in the interest of fair dealing. . Very truly yours, Go.irtljcd fjymrne',.'

The facts leading up to the sad affair are mea ger and hard to learn. It seeius that Mir, and Mrs. Brewer were culled up to tlte city on the early morning boat to attend to some mission and left the little fellow in charge ol oilier cottagers. It appears that Ward, in company with the little son of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Gale, left the row ol cottages after the departure of the boat for Brunswick uud stray ed down to the pier. Shortly after wards visitors were astounded witn the information that young Brower bad fallen off the pier and was drown ed. Friends at once communicate t with Mr. uud Mrs. Brewer in the city and the parents chartered a launch and returned at once to the island .uud instituted a search for the body. For a long time it was not located but finally n party of bathers saw it rise on the crest of a wave and in a few minutes it was washed ashore, The surf was rather ipugb ami a strong Hood tide is rcwronsible for the body being washed up to the beach. The remains were taken to Douglas last night where the funeral will oc cur today. The unfortunate accident has cast a deep gloom over the entire resort and Hie grief stricken parents have (lie sympathy of (be visitois in the very fullest measure, Little Wind was a great favorite at. the pier, not only to his playmates bat to all others to whom ho had sue redding in endearing himself. The accident is one of the saddest that, has ever occurred on the island and is deeply deplored by every one.

FfiOSlf MEETING IS DISCUSSED —*— Some of Estills Reasons for loving Brunswick So Ten derly Shown Up VS 1 THAT COILEGTORSHIP AGAIN Some Pertinent Issues of the Cam paign Freely Discussed by a Well Known Brunswick ! Business Man. V Mr. Editor: Well, now that tlio much advertised Estill rally has come and gone the results must have been a distinct disappointment to the few, members of Mr. fijstill’s club as welt an to the SaVanuah candidate him self. I ids meeting had been advertised l'ir and wide; the band was out to discourse sweet music for the enter taliimonl of the ladies and voters. Everything possible was done TQ lAt l< iHE HOUSE, but, somehow, THE HOUSE WOULD NOT PACK. Ni, man of unbiased mind who saw Hie altemleuee at tile Estill meeting Inst evening will claim for it anything bill a sad failure and a complete snub for the Savannah candidate by the voters of Glynn county, as was Indi cated -by the small attendance. lee mental I ph.vsicial weakness of the Savannah candidate was appar • 'id through his effort to make a talk to the people In regard to his platform and principles on which he cel bis claim for votes of Glynn "t.v, in fact, he seems to have no 1 - in# principles on which lo base such claim. He says wo ought; vo, e for lilm because he allowed a Brunswick firm to do some work I'm- him at a loss price than he coula have had the work done in Savan nah. He appears also, to lay claim - the votes of the people of Bruns wick and Glynn county because or i lie fact. that, he assisted in securing Hie position of collector of customs oi I Ids port for a Savannah negro poll lician, defeating Col. Henry T Dunn, a white republican, who was also an applicant for the position, and who fon many years lias been a respected, honorable and useful citizen of Bruna wick and Glynn county. Mr. Estill's position, as expressed by himself, on the state railroad proposition, is a childish attempt at; argument and Is only to be compared lo his weak and foolish attack on one of our dally papers because it) published a list of pertinent questions from prominent citizens of Glynn county that Mr. Estill could not an swer truthfully without showing him self up to the voters in Glynn county In his true light. ' Mr. Estill impresses a stranger as being a man too weak in mind and body to prove useful to his state in the governor's office and he Is eer lalnly not the man that Glynn coun ty wants if the best Interest of her is ople are lo he served.
