ANOTHER VOTER NAILS
A POLITICAL CANARD
IN THE CAMPAIGN
NO FIGHT ON
COL BRANTLEY
Though Some of His Friends
Honestly Disagree With
Him
ON HIS PitTSENT MtITUOE
The Effort in Estill Quarters to Make
..It Appear That Smith’s Friends are
Fighting Brantley Is Rediculous
Brantley in No Fight
Mr. Editor: I have been reading
with interest and amusement the lit
tle squims published for the past few
days in the the afternoon paper and it
must be apparent to every man of ev
en ordinary intelligence that an ei
fort.is being made by some of Mr.
Bstill’s supporters to make it appear
that an attack is being made upon
Mr. Brantley by the supporters oi
Hon. Hoke Smith on account of Mr.
Brantley's attitude in the present cam
paign. The effect of this, they no
doubt hope, will be to gain votes for
Mil’. Estill as a retaliatory measure
for the attack upon Mr. Brantley.
Bub. Mir. Editor, this method of
campaigning is too thin to stick; it 9
taibric is too open to make even a fair
quality of mosquito netting, therefore
the faces of the individuals who are
straining their efforts and shallow
brains at such silly argument are
plainly visible ’behind the screen. No,
Mr. Editor, there is no fight being
made upon Mr. Brantley; no fight can
be made upon him. lie has his nomi
nation for congress in his pocket
We have all voted for him to return
to congress and if he wants to return
there as our representative he can
do sp. we are pledged to vote for
him.
it is true that many of fylr. Brantley's
frle|lds and admirers have advised
Jilin tg keep gut of the present guber
natorial campaign and take no part
in it as it yvas not his fight and t>
ipix up in it might hurt him politicallv
in the future. If these can be con
sfpied as an attack upon Mr. Brant
ley, then it is not safe to offer advice
to pur personal or political friends
for fear we may be accused pf at
tacking them. The people of Glynn
county, and especially those who re
side in Glynn county, no doubt, ap
preciate everything Mr. Brantley has
for them since he has represent
ed them in congress and there are no
criticisms to make of his record. Ho
has served us as faithfully and as
well as any other man in the district
might have done and we have already
shown our appreciation by sending
him hack to congress, but I contend
that *' it is not a part of the
congressional duties of a congressman
to choose for us our governor or state
house officers and our failure to fol
low the lead of Mr. Brantley in this
campaign cannot, and ought not to be
construed as rn attack upon Mr.
Brantley, fie has 1:0 rjg*t to take any
such constructions upon our actions
and neither have the henchmen Qf the
bavannaii candidate who appear
to be the real sell-constituted
judges of our actions.
No, Mr. Editor, we are making no
attack upon Mr. Brantley, hut the
people of Glynn county seem to loos
with disfavor upon the proposition to
cast their ballots for a man such as
J. H. Estill has shown himself to be.
I do not believe that our people will
vote to honor a man with the office of
governor of our great state, who has
admitted that he endorsed a negro pol
itician to the high office of collector
of customs for the port of Brunswics
and to do it for the purpose of getting
r id of him in Savannah. This ne
gro was not good enough for Savan
nah but Mr. Estill decided that he
was just the right man for Bruns
wick.
It might be interesting to a good
many voVrs of Glynn county to know
what Mr. Estili’s campaign has to
do with our 30 foot channel to the
spa, or our lightship off the bar. There
is Cfne thing that is sure and that
Is if this negro endorsing candidate
for governor had his way about It
we would uot have a five foot channel
to the sea, nor a common sheet irqn
buoy of any description to mark the
present channel.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 18. —The message
from the committee of citizens in
Brownville, Texas, requesteing that
the negro froops, who committed an
outrage there last Monday night, be
replaced by white soldiers, was recei
ved Iby President Roosevelt today
The president at once referred the dV*-
patch to the war department with the
request that an immediate report on
the matter he made to him.
Washington, Aug. 18. —In response
to President Roosevelt’s request for
information concerning the situation
at Brownsville, Texas, Acting Secre
tary Ainsworth has forwarded the re
port received by him from
Penrose and also informed the presi
dent that the commander general ot
the depaitment of Texas has been
requested to furnish as soon as pos
sible detailed information of the in
vestigation being made by the mili
tary authorities. It is not believed at
the department that there will be any
further clash between the citizens and
soldiers and tne hope is expressed
that the excitmcnt. which prevailed
will subside when it is known that
the government intends to ascertain
all the facts and will punish any of the
soldiers implicated in the unlawful
acts. It is stated that the troops will

Houston, Texas, Aug. 18.—A special
from Brownsville says a citizens
guard is stationed between Fort Brown
and the city of Brownsville, keeping
the negro soldiers with the barracks
and that aside from the feeling of
anxiety the town is quiet. The cit
izens have boon informed tin;! the com
mandcr of The department of Texas

the situation. Advices from Austin
state that considerable advices over
the Brownsville situation prevails
there and a movement is talked of to
organize an armed force and go to
Brownsville and assist in keeping the
negro troops within the confines of
the garrison. Governor Lanham is
still out of the city and Adjutant Gen
eral Pnisam says he considers it very
unwise to send state troops to Brown
vilie. The troops are considerably
wrought up pver they consider
an outrage and it is believed that >f
they went there they could not ho

charter to two local concerns which
will prove to 'be valuable acquisitions
to the business Interests of the city.

time and, as its name indicates, is in
the lie and lumber business.. S. K.
Brown is manager of the company
and with his brother, S. 1-f. Brown,
and their associates, it is easily one
of the strongest concerns in Bruns
wl k and bids fair to divide with the
other crosstie dealers a portion of
the business through this port. The
company has established a handsome
suit of offices in the Clay building on
Newcastle street and is already ah
tively engaged in business.
The Habersham Park Land Com
pany was the other concern incorpor
ated by the court and is composed of
a number of local people who own tiros
tract of land known as Habersham
park. They propose to divide th'-
tract up into lots and develop It in
many ways.

James Roberson, for many years
with the drug store of J. E. Morgan
has accepted a .place .with Ed. C. Bruce
