Steamer For Havana Will Not
Take on Freight For Brunswick
In New York—Full Ssheriule
is Announced.
The lull schedule of the steamer
Brunswick, which Is to go on the
New York-Brunswick-Havana run on
December Ist, has been announced.
The Atlanta Constitution of yester
day contained a story given out by
the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad which will be o£ great
'merest in Brunswick. It is as fol
lows:
It was officially announced Thurs
day by officers of the Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Atlantic that beginning
the first Saturday in December regu
lar passenger service would be es
tablished by the •Brunswick Steam
ship Company between New York,
Brunswick and Havana.
While It was reported in the Con
stitution a few days ago that such
service would be established, the
announcement that it would be inau
gurated in less than a month came
as a great surprise to the Atlanta
railroad world and the announce
ment was considered to be one of
the most Important to Atlanta and
the southeastern territory in a long
time. The announcement is only
another proof of the strenuous policy
of President H. M. Atkinson, and the
fact that he is paving the way for
immediate results.
The inauguration of tins new pas
senger service means anew route
between Atlanta and this territory
Ha Brunswick and New York city,
and most of all, it means anew dJ
rect service to Havana and one tha*
will he much shorter for tourists,
prospectors and others who hurry to
itac Island 'each winter living In the
west, the middle west, the Ohio val
ley, and the fact that these passen
gers will pass through Atlanta, thus
making It the Gate City for Cuba as
well as the north and south of this
country.
Only a few weeks ago President
Atkinson, while in New York, pur
chased one of the very latest and
■heat type* of passenger steamships.
Since the making of this purchase,
a large army of workmen have been
employed In making perfect every
detail looking toward the very best
facilities for the comfort and safety
of passengers. Included in the work
of finishing is the fact that letters
spelling "Brunswick’' have been
painted on dhe bow )of this new
steamship, which is to inaugurate the
liret passenger service between a
Oeorgia port and Cuba.
leaving December 1, which is the
first Saturday of the month, the
Brunswick will said for Cuba, stop
ping at Brunswick. It was stated
that future events might necessitate
the pontopnlng of the first sailing
to Saturday, December 8, but th<
maiden trip would certainly not be
later than this date, and every ar
rangement Is being made to sail the
first. Between New York and
Brunswick the steamship will carry
only passengers, the freight between
these two ports being left to the
fleet of freight steamships, the first
or which, the Satllla, sails from New
#,rk for Brunswick tomorrow.
While only passengers will <be car
ried between New York and Bruns

Brunswick and Cuba and Havana,

dent Atkinson progressed that the
following schedule is announced:
At present, and until the new
steamships are added, as the de
mand warrants, the Brunswick will
leave New York every other Satur
day. Leaving Saturday, this boar
will arrive in Brunswick the follow
ing Tuesday morning. After unload"
ing passengers to Brunswick, At
lanta and points In the southeast,
passengers from this section for
Cuba will be taken on board togethe'
with freight for the island metrop
olis. and the departure for Havana
wilt be made Tuesday evening, ar
riving at its destination Thursday.
From Thursday until Saturday the
Brunswick will lie in Havana, un

Brunswick and New York. Leaving
Havana Saturday, the boat will ar
rive in Brunswick on its northern
trip Monday morning, and Monday
evening leave Brunswick Tor New

Wednesday night, or early Thursday
morning. This schedule will permit
of a lay-over in New York until Sat-i

GILT CAMPAIGN TO
GOME TO CLOSE
TRIS WEEK
hlmary Will Be Held
One Week from
Tuesday
BOTH SIDES ARE COMIT
But the Supporters of the Adminis
tration Candidate For Mayor
are Asking for Odds of Two
to One.
One week from Tuesday and the
municipal primary, for the nomina
tion of a mayor and four aldermen,
will be held, therefore it is expected
that tile campaign will come to a
whirlwind finish this week. Both
factions will be busy during the re
maining days and by Saturday it is
expected tnat the campaign will be
practically over
Both sides, of course, are already
claiming victory, but neither seem3
to be willing to admit by what ma
jority they will win. In betting cir
cles the odds favor Col. C. P. Good
year for mayor. In fact, very few
bets have so far been placed. There
seems to 'be plenty of Goodyear mon
ey in evidence, but the Symons
supporters are asking for the unusual
odds of two to one. With this situ
ation very little money Jtryi been
placed, although a number of bets at
those odds have been made. Offers
of five to four on Goodyear are freeD
made, but there are no takers, and
unless the Goodyear men agree to
give odds of two to one no betting
will be done.
The aldermanic race, of course, !:■;
not attracting very much attention.
The Symons people admit that they
do not expect to see their entire
ticket elected, but the supporters of
Col. Goodyear are more sanguine,
and are claiming the election of their
entire ticket by a safe majority.
The campaign will no doubt go to
fever heat during the present week.
Both sides will do everything 'possi
ble; the administration forces, like
they have done in the past, will re
sort to many unfair methods in their
efforts, but it certainly looks like
the people of Brunswick, for once at
least, have decided to be masters Oi
the situation, and they will vote for
the ticket named (by the People’s
mass meeting. The administration
politicians by their dirty methods,
have practically admitted defeat ana
are now doing everything possible
to turn the fide of public sentimei'
—but their efforts will fail.

from the Waycross Journal of yes

The case of the town of Nlcholls

came suddenly to an end by a decis

wurrers of the parties. Defendant de
murred to plaintiffs (petition on the
sound that It did not name ground
sufficient to (v ,■imitate a cause of ac
tion. This (Jemurrer was overruled.
The plaintiff then demurred to the
defendant’s answer on ground that it
did not set up ground sufficient to
constitute a defeuse. Demurrer was
sustained and the dccjßion of the
bench was that the injunction sought

ELOQUENT ADDRESS
BY WRESSMAN
BRANTLEY
Said it was a Memorable
Event in Brunswick's
Bislcry
LITTLE GIBES LOOKED PRETTY
More Than Fiftv of Them Were
In the National Colors and Made
A Fine Appearance as They
Marched Around Tres<
The planting of a liberty tree In
3runswick yesterday afternoon was
a notable event: one that will go
Jown In Brunswick's history as well
as that of the nation. The announce
mont some time ago that a liberty
tree would be planted In this city
attracted widespread attention In all
sections cf the country, and Mrs.
E. F. Conoy, regent of the local
chapter of the Daughters of tho
Revolution, under whoso auspices the
tree, was planted, has received nu
merous letters from many states
and territories of the union, inquir
ing about the event.
A large number of citizens were
present yesterday afternoon to wit
ness the ceremonies incident to the
tree planting. The exercises wore
opened shortly after 3 oLlock, when
the fifty or more little girls, repre
senting the different states, preced
ed by the Brunswick Riflemen,
marched to the square north of the
city hall. They were grouped around
the tree and a photograph taken,
which will be published in a number
of papers.
A temporary stand had been erect
ed on Mansfield street for the speak
ing and other exerciseß. Prof. N. H.
Ballard announced the purpose of tho
gathering. Prayer was offered by
Rev, Sammons, of the First Baptist
church, after which Congressman
Brantley was introduced as the ora
tor of the occasion.
Tho address .delivered by Mr.
Brantley was an eloquent one. He
opened by saying that the 'Planting
of the liberty troc was a memora
ble event and would go down in
the history of this city. He said Its
planting would stimulate love of lib
erty; that here in Georgia tho tree
wax planted In the caiyiie of liberty
to teach, patriotism in tne hearts not
only of those who were taking part
in tho planting of the tree, but to
the entire nation. He said the tree
was local, but in tho manner of its
planting here wo had made it nation
al aa well. “So is liberty,” he said,
both free and national. If it lives
it will be because it is fed and nour
ished by each state and territory of
the nation. So about überty. It
can't live and be local, it must b*
national."
For a half hour or more Mr. Brant
ley dwelt upon the subject of Ucerty
la a most eloquent manner, and his
speech was one tnat Is sure to crons'
entuusiasm amona the American peo
l-le. It should have been heard by
every man. woman and child In
Brunswick; in the country, if such
had been possible.
Following tho excellent addreaa of
Mr. Brantley the formal planting of
the tree o curved. Each state was
represented by a pretty little girl,
who wore the national colors and
carried soil from the respective
states that they represented. Each
of the little girls deposited the soil
at the root of the tree, which stands
in the middle of the pretty square.
The exercises were enjoyed by tne
large crowd present and the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution, es
pecially Mrs. Coney, the regent, de
serves grea't credit for the success
of the undertaking. It will serve to
Drina Brunswick Into prominence na
tlonally. Many societies are interested
in the planting ot the tree aod have
already written here for information
about it, while many of the popular
magazines and such publication#
buvf asked for pictures of the tr##,
