Though injured so badly that he died within an hour, the supreme court holds that action to recover damages from a railroad for injurj to the daughter of the injured man is vested solely in him. A family by the name of King, living in Habersham county, while crossing the Southern railway trackl -a pffiodic crossing, were struck by a locomotive, said to be going forty to sixty miles per hour. The father was so badly injured that he died within air hour. The 14-year old daughtor vaa maimed for life. Afterwards the mother brought ac tion for damage against the South ern. The defendant moved to dis miss tbs case on the ground that no cause for action was shown and ■Chat it had been CLown that the father of the girl was in life at the time she was Injured. This motion was sustained, and the plaintiff ex cepted. The supreme court sustains Judge Kimsey and holds. “If upon the hap pening of the injury to the minor child the right of a: tion arose in favor of the father, upon his death, though only an nour afterward, the cause of action did not survive to the mother; and it Hollows that where these fact* appeared upon tha face of the petition, there was no error In dismissing it on mo tion."

It has been well understood for solue time that the clutches of the 'new ring,” as it is now being call ed, is fast gaining a hold upon the aocks of the petiole, and as they should, the people are beginning to .ealizo that it is time to shaaa it off. In the raco of Hon. H. S. Lea iOr tho .legislature against Hon. Eus taco C. Batts, wno had absorbed -rent association with tho clique the idea that he owned the office, the people demonstrated deafly that, hey were tired of existing political ooaditiOEß and overwhelmingly elected Mr. Lee to represent them ■h the hails of the Georgia legisia ura. It is well unders.ocd that the result of this election was a elan in ne fat e of the then existing condi tions, especially a rebuke to the a -ninisuaiuou oi lue citv court of Brunswick, and as a public rebuke also to the solicitor of the city court, who is the personal frien -uui adviser oi mr. Lutts. Again did the people come to th | front and rebuke the effort of th j new ring” to cany tnis county into’ .he Bstill column in that, marvelous ace of Governor-Elect Hoke Smith who too was the peoples candidate or that high office and whom t.n office-holders of this county fougb uesjxirateiy to keep from winning i’ia noble victoi-y. It was in this rac hat the present candidate for may >r of Brunswick, W. F. Symons, the ufflcc-holdea-ff Vandldatc, announceu in Stentorian tones. In fthe Granu Opera House, in speaking at an Es ill meeting, mat “no self-respecting man would vote for Hoke Sm"’ Asa rebuke to that ut, erance over 100 of Brunswick’s voters inarched to the (Kills and carried this city for governor by an overwhelming ma jority. Hardly had this campaign closed before N. D. Russell, the present city clerk, (an office-holder of the city of Brunswick for years), a man paid by the voters and citizens of Brunwlck to stay in his office and attend to the city’s business, was circulating around among Eta co norts a petition asking this same Mr. Symons, who made the famous utterance that ‘AO self-rospe.ting' man would vote for Hoke Smith” to run for the high office of mayor J of Brunswick, in the light of sub sequent developments we are not surprised at his action. Ilav.ag, as we are told, tho office-* holders’ brigade on his petition, the Brunswick Journal, tho organ of the solicitor tof the •city court and a newspaper born in political iniquity, and rumored to have keen promised f2,000 of tno stock of tho Nefferbuilt trolley lines for services rendered, dm announced to an astonished public that “Symons sounds good to ÜB.” But to whom did “Symons sound good." No mass of citizens swarme- 1 around him and requested his an nouncement. Indeed, he admits that ne was his own candidate. Bat with J. T. Colson, as the president of the Brunswick Journal and N. D. Rus sell, the father of the Symons move tnent, the voters can think for them selves and decide "whose candidate is be.” The greater percentage of Bruns wick’s citizenry felt as if they had some rigtots in this matter and should have at least been consulted In regard to whom they should have tor their mayor, and feeling ag grieved at the high-handed manner In which the future of Brunswick •political hls.ory was being written, gathered together in mass meeting, to which yon. Mr. Voter, wa* es pecially inrlto4. ff#t*ta*toft®t# the Me* m® i*- famous assertion that the mass meeting was a cut and dried affair, the people of Brunswick, in one of the largtj ;t g.s herings in recent years, met at the city hall on Oc tober Sth and unanimously nominat ed Col. C. P. Goodyear for mayor, and Messrs. Claude Dart. 11. M. King, J. T. Lambright and J. II Leo for aldermen. At this same meeting the people adopted a plat form, the principal planks of which were: Progress and Prosperity. Refusal to Con.inue Longer the Present Contract With the Mu tual Light and Water Com pany. The Municipal Ownership of the Light and Water Utilities of This City. Each candidate was required to pledge himself to this platform and each has done so and now stands before the people of Brunswick pledged upon hl3 honor, NOT TO CONTINUE LONGER THE PRES ENT j JOXTRALT WITH THE LIGHT AND WATER COMPANY, to purchase the LIGHT AND WA TER PLANT, and to “push Bruns wick" first, last and all the time. The record of each of these candi dates should be a sufficient guaran ty that, if elected, they will in good faith carry out the pledges of this platform. On the other hand the candidate of the opposition for mayor, W. F Symons, has yet to tell the people ol Brunswick what he stands for am what may be expected of him am his aldermanic board, if the reins o government are fslaced in the!: hands. His refusal to accept the fair am’ honest proposition of Col. C. P Goodyear to meet him in joint de hate, before his own mass meeting and there fully and freely to discuss the issues of the campaign was a direct admission of his weakness and the weakness of his position Had he felt that his cause was the beat he would certainly have accept ed the proposition to meet the verj people before whom he stands foi public office and to have told their for wbat he stands. Let’s for a moment compare the two candidates for mayor: C. P. GOODYEAR. The candidate of the mass meeting. The one for 36 years an aggre3 sive worker for Brunswick, ready at all times to give his time, and spen his money for Brunswick and Bruns wick’s betterment, aud who in these years of effort lias succeeded in bringing to Brunswick something tangible, notably giving Brunswick connection with tho cltside world by t.he extension of the Macon and Brunswick road (now the Southern; from Macon to Rome; tho removing of the stigma of repudiation from the city of Brunswick*by the bond compromise, which preserved the credit, of the city and enabled it to prosper in 1880 to 1890, (the most prosperous era in the history ot Brunswick); single handed and alone deepening the outer bar ot Brunswi.lc from 18 feet, channel depths, to 251-2 ' feet, channel 0-.:;.
