The Brunswick News. VOLUME 6.6 6NUMBER 26. AN OLD VET SCORES POLITICIANS FOR THE UNFAIR METHODS USED AGAINST COL JOODTEAB Fightiitf Him on the Ground that He is a Re publican BUI [KURTS HIK fW 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.

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.

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.

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
