from Mass Meeting of Citizens of
Brunswick.
Your letter notifying me of my
nomination for mayor by a mass meet
jpg of citizens of Bruuswick duly re
ceived and T thank you for the < our
feqpa and kindly expressions therein
contained, I have lived in Brunswick
thirty-six years, and in the entire
period have believed in Brunswick,
worked - for Brunswick, suffered for
Brunswick. That life has been an
open l>eok that all men could read.
I believe in Brunswick now as earn
telly, In its glorious possibilities, in
the certainty that It will become one
of the greatest ports of the South, as
at any time in the thirty-six years.
But I believe now that the psycho
logical motaent has arrived when by
proper and united effort a great city
can be created quickly here, a
1 believe It is far easier to create
su b a city in four years than in totii,
and far more profitable to her people
1 believe a work confronts the
mayor and council for the next four
years of active, unselfish leadership,
for growth, progress, development,
prosperity, which may well cause any
candidate for either the position of
mayor„or alderman to pause and corn
sider whether be can devote the time
and service to this work which pre
vailing conditions require; not
whether he is equal to the task, for
no man is, but whether to tne
of his ability be can *jferd to
the sacrifice. I HB V * .*

RACE
—f —
He Now Has the Politicians
on the Anxious
Bench
SITS HE IS CONSIDERING
Petition Signed By Number of Citi
zens Asking Him to Enter the
Race Has Been Circulated
fn the City.
The rumor was persistent again
yesterday afternoon that Judge Court
land Sy mines, the well known Bruns
wick attorneny. had been presente i
with a petition signed by a number cu
citizens requesting him to enter the
ifiuyorality contest, latter In the
evening judge Symmes was seen.by a
re; resontative of The Newsa ami
when questioned on tint subject the
judge stilted that lie was not yet ready
to give out any definite answer.
"Once, long ago," said tile judge,
"when my uncle was on the bench, a
case was being tried. Harris one. oi
me attorneys, got up and argued, the
case for fully four hours When, no
finally liniusbed the other attorney
looked at my uncle, and asked him
what in the. world Harm meaftt, to
which the judge replied.: i deiLt know
Harris don't know, and X don't think
(lie Master himself really knows.’
"Now, thatß my position exactly in
this mayoraUty mix-up. J don t know
and nobody else knows.” •
Isn’t H a fact, judge, that you were
to-day presented with a ifiKitlon signed
by a number of citizens requesting
you u> make the race?" asked the re
porter,
"Well, came the reply, something
was presented 'o me, but not knowing
whether it was a petition or a bill, I
was afraid to look at it.’
When tiie reporter finally put the
real question ami requested the judge
to give him a definite answer, he said
that lie had not made up his mind.
‘in fact i have not had time to
consider the matter seriously, but i
am going to lake it under considera
tion, and you may say that whatever
1 do it will he the right tiling, i will
he honest and sincere in my actions
in this matter whatever my decision
is. See rne again to-morrow, and 1
may tell you a few more jokes. Good
night.”
With the announcement in The
News yesterday that Cayt, Tobias
Npwman was also considering the
probability of entering the race, ana,
with Judge Symines being urged to
Dbt into the contest, the Bruns wick 1
politicians are much on the
anxious bench, and things politically
are Homewbat stirred in Bruuswick.
There is no telling what will really
happen at that November primary.

New Engines Are Being Built
Especially for the Local
Division.
There lias recently gone into serv
ice on .the Brunswick & Western di
vision of the Atlantic Coast J.ine new
equipment of which employes of the
j passenger department are pardonablv
proud, and which can not fail to con
tribute materially to the comfort, of
the traveling public between Albany
and Brunswick.
There have been placed on the day
trains which reach here at 11:46
a. in. and depart at 4: IQ, first class
passcngcr'coaches of the newest pat
tern. ~ They are sixty luet iu length,
of-mas Hive construction, and mounted
on unusually heavy trucks. They
have no "ginger t read” work inside
jP' out,, but are elegant in general
finish from eud to end. They are
just out of the shop, having been
specially built lor service between
Albany and Brunswick.
The splendid first class coaches r
cently operated Vs a part of the
equipment of the day trains have no*-
been assigned to the Irish- Latins. Au
passenger trains on the U. & \V. di
vision therefore, have handsome gnu
altogether superior* equipment to any
ever operated on this line
it is authoritatively stated that in
the, course of the next few *oteks five
new passenger locomotives will be
placed m service on the 6. <fc VV. di
vision. -They arc now nearing com
pletion in tiie shops. They are much
heavier and more powerful maebimy
than have heretofore operated on the
B. & W., and- their going Into service
will enable passenger trains to make
their schedules without dllficulty-y
--souiething which has been practically
impossible of accomplishment In the
recent, past.

By au order passed Thursday by

road officials admitted that in their
: opinion the commission has jurlsdic
tion over switching on shipments
which originate in the state.

order tne comiSKsion requires an
railroads to perform switching service
on iiitrastaLe shipments, subject
penalty of |l per day demurrage for
tailure to perform such service
promptly,pthis being tbe same pen
alty imposed upon consignees for
failure to unload freight promptly.
The uniform charge for switching a
car will be $2, as at present.
