deal with the Memorial day ex
ercises in Brunswick, jut neverthe
less the day was very' appropriately
observed land those who ventured
out in the face of the rain, were
treated to an unusually eloquent
oration at the First Baptist church
by Prof. 11 A. Poutid, of Way

of the Oglethorpe hotel at 2 o’clock
by Capt. Dunn, of the Brunswick Ri

day. The parade moved down New
castle street to Mansfield, thence to
the church, where the exercises were
held. After a prayer by Rev. Sam

speaker was introduced by Dr, J.
A. Butts
Despite the bail weather a large
'number of people weie |iated In
the church anil thy seemed to great
ly appreciate and enjoy the eloquent
address. Prof. Pound is a speaker or
rare ability. He was forceful, and
at times eloquent, and his address
was considered one of the best over
deliveed in Brunswick on such an oc
casion.
Af er the exercises in the church
the parade was again formed and pro
ceeded to Oak Grove cemetery where
the graves of the Confederates were
decorated and the usual volley tired

Railroad Cumpnies will

Will fill 111 HIE LDWER FARES
IF COMMISSION REDUCES RATE
IN PASSENGER FARE RAIL
ROADS WILL APPEAL TO FED
ERAL COURTS.
The following is from .the Atlanta
(Constitution: M
“Nothwithstanding ime intimation
of the railroad at tonftys who spoke
against the redut tioulof the presen;
passenger fare in Geolgla, that what
ever action was take% by the com
mission in that its eu
forcement would be enjimed in the
United States court, the
commission has gone to the
proposition before it, and proposes
to sift the situation to the bot\i
before reaching a decision.
“Members of the commission w*-
not at all surprised at. the inti
mation that if they should see li
to reduce the rate it would be fougle
by injunction. One of them said yes
ter day:
“While, of course, I ca t in no
sense forecast the action of the
board, because 1 do not know what
we are going to do, I can say tills
much, and that is whatever we do
we will take care, in so far as is
possible, our action shall be
such as will stand the test In any
court in which it may bo tried.
“The question is a big one and
there are many a- tails to bo con
(jidwrod. We propose to’ go into it
thoroughly and then t<> take such
action as may seem proper under all
ti e condi ions and it is our purpose
in so far as our judgment is capable
of doing, to make it an action which
cannot legally be set aside Ido not
atillcii,ate lhat we will reach a con
clusion ttndi r a week or ten days,
aud then it. will be after constant
oust '.oration of the facts and fig
ures before us.”
There seems to he a genera! be
lief that, there will be some reduct
ion in the rate of’passenger fare or
dered by the commission, and while
thero has been no intimation t> that
effo t, ci imuon consent seems to have
fixed up.-n 2 1-2 cents a mile, as about
the figure which will be adopted.
Should a reduction to this or any
other figure be ordered by the com
mission there is no doubt, from
what has been said, that a fight in
the courts will follow and many
months will possibly elapse before
a Anal determination is reached.

BAIN POT STOP
TO A GOOD GAME
*

Brunswick and Gavannah’ Amateurs
Wer e Fighting it Out When a
Downpour Came.
Rain yesterday afternoon, just at
tlie close of the fourth inning, puit
a stop to what had promised to he
an unusually interesting and excit
ing game o baseball the opposing
teams being the Savannah Columbian
and the Brunswick Athletics.
A crowd of about 200 people 'braved
lie threatening weather to go out
and witness the first game of the
season, and wnile it. lasted it was as
good an article of baseball as the
fan desires to soe amateurs play.
The two clubs were fighting it out
in real good fashion when the rain
came down in the last half of the
fourth inning, just as one of the
ocals had crossed the home plate
making their second run of the game,
while the visitors had only succeed
'd In getting one on their side of
the score board.
Neither team sored the first In
ning, but Savannah made one score
in the second. Highball, who pitch
ed for the visitors, doubled to right
field and scored when Wright threw
wild to third to cat.h him at that
basi*.
The locals tied the score in the
second when Tison, who was on the
firing line for the locals, went to
third oil a long drive to right field.
Hid scored a neat sacriti e by Lam
bright.
The locals got busy In their half
of the fourth and had added anotner
run when the rain came down and
put an end to the game.
Both of the pitchers were very ef
fective during the four innings and
had a number of strike outs to their
credit. Brunswick was' credited
with four hits and Savannah three.
The two teams have decided to
play a doul le header toady. The
first game will be called promptly at
2,3 U o’, lock and the second at 3,43.
If the first Is not finished by this
time, the game will he called and
Ihe second started.
The two teams seem to be about
evenly matched and they both played
brill of the gilt-edge variety yester
day. If the weather is clear a large
rowd should be out to witness the
double header this afternoon. Only
one admission will be charged for
the two games.
