VOLUME 6, NUMBER 8. BIG MASS MEETING TO BEHELD TO NAME A MUNICIPAL TICKET DATE OF MEETING IS NGTYET FIXEI But it Will lie Belli Buriog the Next Ten ’ Days MINT NITS MENTIONED But it rs Not Yet Known Who Will Be on the Ticket—People Seem Determined to Down ‘‘One Man Rule.” The announcement yesterday of , W. F. Symons that he was a cantn date for mayor at the approaching primary, to be held in Novembe . started city politics again and the op position, and there seems to be con siderable, owing to the way in wluea Mr. Symons was placed in the field as a candidate, got busy with the result that it is more than likely that during the latter part of the present week or the first of next a general mass meet ing will be called, to which all white voters of the county will te invitea and a full ticket will be placed jin the held. Numerous names have been men tioned in connection with the mayor ality as well as the aldermanic ticker, ■ but of course nothing will be Known definitely until the mass meeting >s called and held and then the voters will nominate the ticket, and the old time custom in Brunswick of four or live politicians' getting together anu iorcing a ticket upon the people will be relegated for once. Just when this mass meeting wi’i be held no one is yet able to say, Du; it wi 1 be witiiin the next ten days, and it will unquestionably be one oi the largest ever held in Brunswick, it wi'l not be a "one man ’ meeting but every voter in the city will be lr vited to come up and make known his choice for mayor and for alderlnen. Prominent citizens of Brunswick, discussing the approaching election, are loud in their condemnation of ' one man” rule in Brunswick. They thins that Brunswick is at present entertn; upon the most prosperous period in her history; tnat the outlook lias never been so bright, and an adminis tration which stands for progress, de velopment and enterprise is wanted, it is time that Brunswick was putting men into office who have the interest of their city at heart and who will no; sacrifice the good of Brunswick for personal reasons, who turn down big enterprises on account of politics anu lor political reasons only, preventing many an industry from miming in Brunswick. 1 i That tlie coming cami.ai.gl all be a spirited one tnere is no dilbl. The indications are that it wilt epiial any past political battle in tne history oi Brunswick. Of course many region, that tuis is necessary, but men from all walks oi life are tired of ' ring politics and one man’’ rule, unit it ia believed mat such administrations win see . their finish in Brunswick, as else where in an parts of me country, at the November primary. just w -, o win compose this ticker., as stated above, is not Known. Many names are being mentioned, but tnj voters in a general mass meeting, win name the ticket that is to go before the people tor ratincation at the pri mary.

RIO GRANGE WAS IN RECENT STORI MALLORY LINER WAS STRUCK BY HEAVY GALE AFTER LEAVING MOBILE. Two days overdue and after fight ing through the storm which pre vailed along the gulf coast last week tor hours, the Mallory steamer Rio Grande, Capt. Davidson, arrived in port yesterday morning from Mobile, and while she was not at all damage! it was as rough a trip as the Rio Grande has ever experienced. The steamer was out from Mobile only a few hours when she encoun- tered the storm, but she had pro ceeded too far to return to the port, as the wind was coming from that direction and it would have 'been al most impossible to have made any headway. Under these circumstances oapt. Davidson decided to continue on ms voyage to this port, and for hours he was almost at the mercy of tne gate. The steamer wvis blown off ner coast for many miles, and at times it was feared that the ship would be seri ously damaged in spite of all that could be done, but finally the win; lulled and the Rio Grand, which is one of the smallest but staunchest ships of the Mallory fleet, continued *n her trip to this port. Members of the crew state that the wind was blowing at a terrible veloc ity, and they do not think that the Rio Grande was in the midst of the storm. The waves rushed over her decks continuously for several hours and nearly every part of the ship was wrenched with water. Caipt. Davidson has many friends m me city who will be glad to learn that his vessel escaped injury in the storm.

NO ONF IN CUBA FOR OS TO FIGOT Believed Thai Troops Already Ordered There Will be Sufficient CUBANS ART NOT KICKING Will Only be Necessary for the Troops to Support the Provisional Gov ernment and Suppress the Outlaws. * Washington, Oct. I.—Things were not very lively mound the war depart ment to-day, considering the fact that the active invasion of Cuba is now under way, troops having already been landed on tho Island. Of course those at the head of the department were busy giving orders, but tho general appearance was little from the usual. It now seems ttiat there is littlj likelihood of tho socond army expedi tion being sent to Cuba. The goot grace with which tho American inter vention nas been accepted by tho Cubans generally, has practically made it unnecessary for additional troops to go to the island, so the officers believe, and only a small occupation will bo needed. It is pointed out that there is no one in Cuba for the Americans to fight, and not a single conflict is an ticipated. It will only be necessary for the troops to support the provis ional government and the suppression of tho outlaws and this, it is thought, will be easily accomplished, not the least trouble being anticipated. Information received at the depart ment to-day was to the effect that 1,000 troop* have already landed In Havana and this number will be suffi cient. at present any way.
