Dirty Politicians, in an Effort to Win
Votes, Try to Bring the Mason
and Dixon Line ihto Muni
cipal Campaign.
Editor News:
Is the present municipal campaign
being run on political: and Masons
and Dixon's line, and is it so being
secretly conducted?
This question is asked, because
certain people are °P<^ 9 '" g *
Peoples candidate, Hon. Charles K
Goodyear, upon the ground that he
i8 a “Republican" and because he is a
•Yankee.” The grounds are well
taken, as a matter of fact, but 'badly
taken as a matter of politics.
It might have been said of Col.
*odyear, that he was born and rear
in Connecticut, that he was
brave Federal soldier, and numberless
tunes stood before the Iron an
leaden bale fr#h,. the: v . Confederate
y&tlff, 'and ritetenea- to ‘J*
itikt 1 tie 'hafi ‘ bebn a na
' . tlxl -- *.Afnrith.
tional republican in puu.iw. ~v.
standing for over thirty-six years his
*ot has been cast among tne stern
unswerving democrats of Georgia, all
of whom were his friends, and that
politics were the only obstacle be
tween him and high political prefer
ment in his adopted state, Georgia,
which he has truly loved as any na
tive born.
Col. Goodyear has been true to his
political faith, true to his friends,
and above all things, true to Bruns
wick. and who dares say me “Nay.”
But the hidden ways of the local
political octopus is dark and devious,
and like the path of the snake, they
"wabble in and wabble out, and the
smartest man in all the land, can not
tell whether that snake was going
home or coming away,’’ but some time
< their devilment crops out, and this Is
tne last ple.e of odoriferous politics
to disgust the nostrils, and polute the
ears of the people!
It has been generally understood,
that in the municipal “white pri
mary” one's national political faith
iB not considered. The democrat, the
republican and the populist all vote
and run for office therein without
question as to national politics. The
requirement is simply that the voter
or candidate shall be a citizen, a
lAlte man, and all taxes paid, and
Hfer > convicted of crime involving
floral turpitude. That’s all. In the
Fpast, while the white democrats were
in overwhelming majority, Brunswick
continuously elected her municipal
ticket without regard to national
politics, and thereby got some might;’
good material to fill her offices.
Brunswick has elected republican
mayors, republican aldermen continu
ously, and all her offices, tis said,
i have been filled with McKinley demo
icrats and Palmer and Buckner demo
* crats, so the tale goes, and has been
considerably wagged to that tune,
and yet Home Ido s%y they made
mighty good municipal officers.
Charlie Goodyear has ever been a
national republican, and our people
know that as well aa they know him,
and also know that he has al
ways*pported the democratic state
ticket, and more than that, has con
tributed liberally to the democratic
fund, in our state campaigns. Who
does not know that in ail these
years of his residence, Mr. Goodyear
has been called the "Brunswick Advo
cate," because of his enthusiastic de
votion to Brunswick, and that his
best efforts have been to build up
Brunswick, and make her, as be calls
Wt. "Greater Brunswick," Of kirn it
W**9 be tody s*M; "Be has fought a
L.
hundred battles for her and not one
against her” interest. And yet they,
this little bit of “they” decry him
because “He Is a yankee and repub
lican."
Oh! you little peanut politicians.
What will you not do and say to
maintain your clutch on the people s
necks? Like the pdsjgum, you have
four legs, a mouth ana a . tail, and
hold well, but especially, tli£ tall,
and perhaps this last buncombe is
the “tail holt,” or at least you think
it is.
Come, let’s be honest in all things,
even in municipal politics for once.
If a man may not be elected mayo:
of Brunswick simply because fife ts a
republican, then lets a this foolish
mockery and nominate a democrat for
every municipal office, and nominate:
in a democratic primary, and wHM
may not be for the 1
tpr town, and I do noL'lMnk it will,
yet it will havg /.genuine ring, it
will be pure gotfd, and- not base metal.

BEHIND IHE BARS
TWO OF THEM ARRESTED IN
-- • -
JACKSONVILLE FOR ROBBING
EXPRESS COMPANY.
Two Brunswick negroes have been
arrested in Jacksonville, one on the
charge of robbing the Southern Ex
press Company and the other for
breaking into a wholesale grocery
store. The Jacksonville metropolis
contains the following .about the ar
rest of the 'jaegrbesi .c*
“DOtectjvV-Caubo'ii and Urawfora

“David Usher, a negro employed
at the terminal station wash rack,
was taken Into custody yesterday
afternoon for the larceny of a pack
age containing ten suits of clothes,
valued at $l5O, from an express car,
shipped to the Standard Clothing
Company, of this city. When the
clothes disappeared Usher did also.
The stolen property was not found,
but after being committed to jail by
Justice Farris, Usher confessed and
told where the clothing could be
found.
“Some time ago the wholesale groc

losing goods constantly, and offered
$25 for the capture and evidence to
convict the guilty. To-day Detective
Crawford arrested Will Green, alias
Slick, a negro, on the charge of steal
ing two tubs of butter from the Con
solidate ' Grocery Company. The
negroi. It is understood, came here
from Brunswick.”
JAMES G. BENNETT INDICTED
CMarged with Printing “Fake” Ad
vertisements
New York, Oct. 22. —Quite a sensa
tion was caused in newspaper and
business circles this morning by the
indictments of James Gordon Ben
nett, owner of the New York Herald,
and Manly L. Gillam, advertising
manager of the paper, by the grand
jury of New York court.
The jury returned indictments
charging them with ‘ printing fake ad
vertisements in the personals."
It is not generally believed that the
indictments will amount to much.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
MADE BT A, B. I A RIM
Purchase of Oglethorpe Hotel Confirmed-

C. H. Leavy, Brunswick, Ga.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 22.—Rumors have been current for some t.me
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railway have been negotiating for
the Oglethorpe hotel. This is to inform yo u that we have purchased t e
poperty and over next-month. We contemplate spendmg
whatever amount is necessary to make the Oglethorpe modern, both m
building and furnishino: \ fact, we expect it to be one of the most dp-to
dat* hotels in th. -uth, L addition to the benefits which w.ll be denve
by the city in a general w%, in having a first-class hotel, is our plan to
rittrrfj&zc Brunswick as a tourist resort which, with her natural beauties
Pfe M -r, .ron, .W ,s. and addition,,,.,,^
Service and the hotel which we vndl prorfcle, can be accomplished with
/question. V/e have not purchased Vhe 'furniture as it is the intent.on to
equip the hotel from top to bottonfi with new material.
./ h. C. McFadden, Gen. Pass. Agent.
During the early part •/f August
The News printed a story to the ef
fect that there was rumors
afloat around the cl yf tliat the Ogle
thorpe hotel had Jjfeen purchased, oi
rather that a Goal was pending for
the purchase J>r the hostelry by the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad. It liras stated in that arti
CjevkuAL-ttfe matter lmd been taken
up by officials of the road and the
jwners of the hotel in New York.
Since the publication of that article
In The News a number of rumors
have been afloat, but each time the
A.. B. & A. people refused to confirm
them; in fact they stated to a News
reporter that if the deal was made
and as soon as the necessary papers
were exchanged, that such an an
nouncement would be made.
Two or three weeks ago, -when I he
News 1 again heard it rummed that the
deal had been closed, A., ft. & A. uffi
pinis were seen, and thev reauested
uothlng be printed until given out by
them. Therefore the above telegram
to the editor of the paper from an
official of the road is the first au
thentic information given out con
cerning this important deal.
The purchasing of the Oglethorpe
hotel means more for Brunswick than
anything since A.. B. & A. purchased
the old Brunswick & Birmingham
railroad. As stated In Mr. McFad
den’s telegram, the road will take
charge next month and will make all
Improvements that are needed. The
large hotel will be entirely refurnish
ed. as the present furniture was not
included in the deal.
Hotel on St. Simon.
The News is also in position to
state this morning that the A„ B. &
A. will more than likely erect a hotel
on St. Simon during the present win
ter. This piece of news is not given
out by the road, as it is the policy or
that company not to give out any
items of news until it is absolutely
an assured fact. When the News
CIS. D. LOUD SHOI
AND KILLED IN
HONDURAS
THE WELL KNOWN GEORGIAN
IS ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN A
REVOLUTIONIST—HE WAS
WELL KNOWN HERE.
The Atlanta Georgian, of Sunday,
publishes a report, the authority for
which Is said to be letters received
by friends In Montgomery county, to
the effect that Charles D. Loud was
shot In Honduras on October 17,
under sentence for .engaging In a
revolutionary movement.
Col. Loud was well known in
Brunswick, where he visited frequent
ly. He was here shortly before he
left for Honduras. He use to visit
Brunswick on regular fishing trips.
Col. Loud was prominent over the
state and has figured In a number ot
tragedies, having killed a man at
Savannah several years ago, which
caused him considerable trouble.
Co&i fx>ud had many friends here
who will regret to learn of his sen*
national end,
printed, nearly three months ago,
that the Oglethorpe would more than
likely be purchased by the road, it
had the very best of information,
and it is just, this kind of informa-
tion Chat the paper has regarding the
hotel
Not ouly is the road contemplating
the erection of a hotel on the Island,
which will be the best along the
south Atlantic coast, but they may
aiso establish anew sjramer lino be
tween Brunswick and St. Simon, with
a fleet of large and comfortable boats
on the run. Where they propose to
erect the hotel is not yet known,
and neither is it known positively
that the road will erect it. but The
News feels safe in predicting, like the
Oglethorpe sale, that the hotel and
boat linn will both be 'ft operation
by the time the season opens on St.
Simon next year
These announcements should be re
citizen in Brunswick. They show be
yond doubt that this now important
railroad system intends to do every
thing possible for Brunswick. A
hotel on St. Simon will make it the
most popular resort on the south At
lantic coast and with a railroad like
the A.. B. & A. pulling for it, summer
visitors from all sections will be
there during the season.
The telegram from Mr. McFadden,
while short, speaks volumes for
Brunswick. What he says about mak
ing the Oglethorpe a place for winter
tourists, with the railroad and anew
steamship line to the east soliciting
for travel, means tnat Brunswick is
to become a great winter resort and
that much of the Florida travel will
be brought to this city.
It gives the News great pleasure to
publish the first authentic information
concerning the sale of the Oglethorpe,
and it hopes to soon be In position
to publish some other authentic nows
concerning the A., B. & A.

the accident can not be secured at
this hour.
The accident occurred near Boutte,
a small station In this state. First
reports were to the effect that twenty

a large number injured, but another
report which reached this dty a few

GARBUTT STILL AT BOTTOM.
Fresh Water Steamer and Cargo May
be Total Loss.
The fresh water steamer, Goo. W.
Garbutt is still at the bottom of the
Ucmulgee river near Dumber City,
and will never be saved, while the
cargo of railroad iron Is still in the
river and is rapidly being buried In
the sand.
It will be remembered that the
Garbutt went down a few weeks ago
while en route to Lumber City from
Brunswick with a cargo of railroad
iron. It was thought at first that the
machinery aboard the steamer could
be saved, but tills has 'been given up
as a total loss and the chances are
that only a portion of the railroad
iron will be saved.

NEEDED A DOCTOR;
GOULONT GEE HIM
engineer has paralytic
STROKE AND SUFFERS WHILE
AID IS DELAYED.
Following story from the Albany
Dally Herald will be of interest here:
“Mr. W. H. Brack, an engineer on
the Atlantic Coast. Line, whose home
is in Brunswick, suffered a paralytic
stroke at 11:30 o'clock las' night, and
was sent to his nomo on an cm
morning train with his whole right
side vpndet.ed useless.
“Mr. ■JBH'aek occupied a room In
uie uepoL jouuiy wim w. n...-.
another A. C. L. engineer. Hines and
other railroad men were awakened or
attracted by the cries of Brack when
the stroke seized upon' him, and ran
to his assistance. Efforts to get a
doctor over the ’phone were unsuc
cessful, and it was necessary to send
a messenger on foot in search of a
doctor. Dr. A. H. Hitsman was found,
and upon his arrival the suffering ol
Mr. Brack was relieved by the minis
trations of the doctor.
"The whole right side of the afflict
ed engineer was affected. It is
thought that he will never recover
entirely, the use of that part of his
body, though he may do so to a
limited degree.
“Mr. Brack has a family in Bruns
wick, and early this morning a cot
was provided and he was placed on a
train for his own home town, ac
companied by some of his fellow rail
road men.”

IF PRESENT PLAN
IS CARRIED OUT
Traffic Arrangement Likely
to be Made with thi
A. X I P.
FROM LA GRANGE TO ATLANTA
Such a Plan is Now Being Considered
and Will More Than Likely be
Perfected by the Two
Roads.
The following from the Atlanta
Constitution will be of Interest in this
city:
The Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad authorities announce
that they will in all probability be
ready for the operation of a through
train service from Brunswick to 1*
Qrange by December 1, and if not
,y then, certainly within a very short
while thereafter. Tne grading bo
tween Talbotton and LaOrange has
been completed and the track Is Uhl
most of the way.
Another interesting development in
connection with the service of this
new line is the fact that
are pending with the Atlanta and
West Point railroad by which it 1H
hoped that a thorough train service
between Brunswick and Atlanta will
be put into operation via
i with the completion of the Atlanta.
nlrrr,lT,<rt,orr, on.l AtlanH/. 14nU
tween Talbottou and LaGrange.
If this arrangement, becomes effect
ive It is proposed that It continue un
til the completion of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic link between
Chalybeate and Atlanta, a year hence.
Chalybeate Is tnc point between
Talbotton and Warm Springs at which
the line diverges to Atlanta. While
the whole distance between Chaly
beate and Atlanta Is under contract.
It will not be possible to complete It
under a year, and in order that the
through service of the line may be
established It Is hoped to make ar
rangements by which pending the
completion of the Atlanta link, the
Atlanta and West Point may be used
temporarily from LaGrange.
It Is ascertained that the Atlanta.
Birmingham and Atlantic officials re
cently offered to make a Joint traffic
arrangement for the joint use of the
Atlanta and West Point tracks be
tween West Point and Atlanta. But
tills proposition was not. considered
by the Atlanta and West Point offi
cials. The Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic (officials (then (proposed to
turn over its trains to the Atlanta and
West. /Point at and pay
that road for the handling of these
trains to Atlanta. They likewise pro
posed that the Atlanta and West
point should handle Its through trains
from Atlanta and deliver them to the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic at.
LaGrange—this arrangement to re
main In force until the completion of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic line to Atlanta.
The Atlanta and West Point officials
have had this proposition under con
sideration for several days iand a
favorable answer Is expected. If It
becomes effective ithe Atlanta and
West Point would simply handle the
through train service of the other
road between LaGrange and Atlanta,
just as the Atlanta and West Point Is
to handle between Newnan and At
lanta the through train service of the
Central’s Columbus Newnan exten
sion.
With the completion of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic to LaGrange
the distance from Brunswick to La-
Grange will be 286 miles. It is 67
miles to Atlanta via the Atlanta and
West Point, making 358 miles in all.
The distance from Brunswick to At
lanta direct over the Atlanta, Blrmlng
ham and Atlantic line, with th -ngu
pietlon of
