VOLUME 6, NUM3ER 15. CITIZENS CONSIDER THE PEOPLE’S TICKET AVERY STRONG ONE IN NOMINATED FOR BRUNSWICK Considered One ot the Best Tickets Ever Presented to Vnters COI.GOQDYEAR CONGRATULATED Ke Was the Recipient of Many Com pliments Yesterday—All Nominees Stand for Progress and Prosperity. The ticket nominated at the mass meeting of citizens Monday night seems to have met with the approval of the citizens of Brunswick except, of course, about ten office holders, and one or two politicians, who held a aeeting several days ago, m a locai Attorney’s office and put a ticket in the field. Col. C. P. Goodyear, who is to heau the ticket, is considered one of tne best men in the city of Brunswick ior her chief executive, and he was warmly congratulated on all sides yes terday. Col. Goodyear had no idea that he was going to be nominated, the erroneous and false state-' ment circulated in a circular that the nomination had been slated for two weeks. Col. Goodyear went to the meeting as a citizen, to assist in nam ing good men to represent Brunswick in the city council, and when ms name was placed in nomination ne was more surprised than any man at the meeting. Col. Goodyear had been approached on the subject by nis triends, but had flatly refused to ac cept the nomination. At the meeting Monday night, however, so strong was the request for him to enter the race that he decided to acquiesce and one of the leading business men in the city, a man whose main effort in life has been tor the betterment and up building of his city, now stands before the people as a candidate for mayor. Col. Goodyear has done more, writ ten more and said more for Bruns wick than any other citizen. His life-long work has been in the inter est of the city in which he made his home. He has made many a sacri fice for nis city, and is now making one to become a candidate for mayor. Coi. Goodyear has been requester by hundreds of citizens for years to get in the race for mayor, but he has always refused, and this is the first time that he has ever been a candi date for office before the people. He is not one of those men who can oe made a tool of by politicians, who ha3 no backbone nor ability, and gets into a political face merely at the re quest of a few politicians -to be a ngure-head, such as has poen the case in Brunswick. He did not make the race upon "the urgent request ot many friends” (cheap politicians), but was nominated by a representative mass meeting, composed of citizens and business men from all walks ot life. Had he been nominated in the office of a politician-attorney at a meeting attended by tour people, an officeholders, he would nave decline i the nomination, but when two hun dred or more representative citizens called" upon him to be their standard bearer he answered the call, like he has done in the past. H. M. King. H. M, King, one of the four nomi nees for aldermen Is one of Bruns wick a most prominent citizens, tie has never figured In politics and has never been used as a tool by politi cians. He is one of those energetic citizens who stands for tne Interest o t nis city, and against the politician. For years Mr. King has been the local representative of the John K. Young Company In Brunswick ana beg friends among every mass in the It ia believed that he is jusv the kind of man that is needed on Brunswick’s aldermanic board —one that will work ior the city and not pitr Into the hanas of ins bosses. J. C. Ligseur, J, C. Ligeour, another of the alder- The Brunswick News manic nominees, is among the pro gressive young men of the city. Re siding in' Brunswick when he was s ooy, he returned here several years ago to be the commercial agent ot the Atlantic and Birmingham railroad, and in that capacity he has made many friends. He has always lookea out for Brunswick and is considered one of the most popular of the young er business men. J. T. Lambright. Not a better citizen lives in Bruns wick than Judge J. T. Lambright. He has resided in Brunswick all of his life, and is from that class of citizens who is always found in line for the progress and prosperity of the city m which he lives. Judge Lambright has always stooTT against one-man rule, believing that it is a draw-back to any city. His selection as an aldernianic candidate war indeed a happy one. Claud Dart. He is another of the progressive young business men of the city, being at the head of the Bay Iron Works, one of Brunswick’s leading industries. Mr. Dart. too. has resided In Bruns wick all of his life, and there is not a young man In the confines of the city who enjoys the esteem of more friends. He is the eldest son "of Ordi nary Horace Darr., and has always beeu found in line for a bigger ana better Brunswick. The ticket as a whole has been gen erally pronounced as one of the best ever presented to the voters of Bruns wick. and it was freely predicted yesterday that it would go in at the approaching primary uy a big ma jority. The five candidates belong to n> ring or clique, they were nominated at a mass meeting in which every citizen had the right to participate. This fact alone will bring many a vote to the ticket. The political pot in Brunswick is now boiling; the scheme of the poli ticians. to put up a ticket, composed of anybody they desired, has been flushed by business men who have the interest of Brunswick at heart, and it is safe to assume that things politi cally will be interesting until the day of the primary. CAUGHT OFFECER ROBBING STORE DRUGGIST WATCHED FOR THIEF AND FIRED UPON HIM AT FIRST SIGHT. The little town of Sylvester, on the Atlantic Coast Line, between Bruns wick and Albany, was all excited yes terday over a shooting affray which occurred there at an early hour yes terday morning, when a leading drug gist of the place shot and probably xatally wounded the night policeman. It seems that for some time the drug store had been robbed almost nightly and although many efforts were made the thief could not be captured. Finally the proprietor de cided to spend one night in the effort himself, and Monday night he se creted himself in ascot near the store and watched for the thiei. About 2:30 o’clock yesterday morning he saw a man entering tne store ana fired upon him. The bullet struca its mark, entering the mans head just above the right eye. Upon investiga tion it was found to be the night policeman. • Coast Line men arriving in the city yesterday told of the tragedy anu stated that the wound would more than likely prove fatal.

The part of the system affected by the strike extends from Washington to Brunswick and from Cincinnati to Jacksonville, completely covering the big road. As soon as the news of the general strike was received in Macon, the ma chinists in the shops here laid down their tools, took off their overalls ana quit work. The strike comes about as the re sult of a failure of the railway ana union officials to agree upon a scale of wages after a conference In Wash ington. This conference nas been go ing on ever since August 19 and when it ended on October 3, an agreement had not. been reached. When it was found that nothing could be done a strike order was is sued to go into effect at 11 o’clock this morning. The machinists are now working lo hours a day but desire an increase per hour of 2 1-2 cents. While different wages are paid in different, cities on the Southern system to the machinists, the average wage Beale is about $3 a day and the increase demanded wiL increase this to $3.25 a day on an average. The machinists’ union Is one of the strongest ir the country, and there are plenty of brains behind the organiza tion. The conference which has jusi terminated unsuccessfully In Wash ington was the yearly one In whlcn the for the year is fixed and evey effort was made by the repre sentatives of the union to bring about an amicable adjustment without) re sorting to a strike.

Matter of Insane Persons Being Cared ior in Couth Carolina an Issue MATTER COMES UP SOON Case of Man From Georgia Being Cared for by Columbia Authori ties—He May be Sent Back to This Side Savannah River. Columbia, Oct. 9. —The differences that have existed in this state ana North Carolina and Georgia as to who shall care for insane persons of otfyer states happening into this state or de liberately dumped upon it seems about to be brought to a tost. Iu Marion jail there is confined an insane negro, who though a resident of Georgia, the authorities of that state refuse to answer letters from Judge of Probate Homer, asking that the negro he cared for in Georgia. Gov. Heyward has referred the mat ter to Supt. Babcock, of the State In stitute tor the Insane here, who re plies tliat so far as he can see there is nothing to be done but to convev the negro to Georgia and turn him loose there. Dr. Babcock will go to the attorney general for an opinion. Judge Homer says in his letter to the governor: "We have confined in the county jail here, under a temporary commit ment from my office, a negro man, who is n resident of me state oi Georgia, though a native of this county. For more than two years he has been living in Georgia. To al low him to be at large is dangerous to himself and to the public, hence his committal to the county jail. Under the laws of this state he can not be committed to our state hos pital for the insane. Upon the advice of Dr. J. W. Babcock, I wrote the governor of Georgia, setting forth the facts in the case, and asking that the authorities of that state take such measures as were necessary to ha.o tne patient returned to that state, but although some time has elapsed since my letter, nothing has been done in the matter. "It is manifestly unjust that this county should have to care for this patient, and it is equally manifest that he can not be confined for any great length of time in our countv jail. I have exhausted all the re sources of my court, and respectfully submit the matter to you for advice, as to what further can be done.’’ Dr. Babcock calls attention to the tact that the law of 1902 covers this case.
