YOUNG MENS CLUB
MEETING REALLY
HIGHWAY AFFAIR
On Account of Absence of Com
\ nrittee on Street Car Line,
Island Road Was Talked.
MANY LADIES PRESENT AND
ARE GREATLY INTERESTED.
Speeches Were Made by F. E.
Twitty, Constant 'Miller, B,
F. Mann, E. C. Butts.—J. L.
Andrews Led the Vocal Oper
ations and White’s Orchestra
Enlivened Occasion by Num
ber of Good Selections.
The meeting of the Young Men’s
Club at the Hotel Royal last night was
perhaps the most interesting yet held
by this world famous organization—
all due to the fact that the wives of
the married members and the sweet
hearts of the bachelors were all there.
Chairman Wilcox presided with un
usual grace, and made only five
speeches during the evening.
He announced that, owing to the
fact that members of the street car
re-organlzation committee had to
leave for Savannah during the after
noon the program had been changed,
and that the subject for discussion
would be the St. Simon highway in
,lteu of the street railway. This seem
ed to please those present for they un
derstood that the street railway proh-
Jem had already been solved, and
they were anxious to proceed with
other victories. This organization has
Indeed become renowned for achiev
ing things. One of the speakers told
,of an argument he had overheard be
tween a married woman and her
spouse about some important public
question, and the wife, not liking the
position her husband was taking, told
him that she was golnfe to report him
to the Young Man's Club.
Haeh woman present Was required
by the president to announce h*r|
name andf vocation. The married
women had eYldenfly forgotten all
about the responsibilities and powers
recently given them by congress, for
each reported that her only vocation
was to look after her husband ami
children, and some of them admitted
that this gave them about all they
could do.
The maidens were quite reticent In
outlining their principal occupations
but, as each had a shy young bachelor
alongside, It was ay to see that they
had been busy at the world old, game.
, Everybody was for the St. Simon
highway, and the speakers realized
their only task was to submit
.atnMt tacts ami arguments as might be
Used by those present In convincing
these few In the community who
might still be undecided as to how
jhey should vote. Strong talks were
mad© by F. E. Twitty, Constant Miller,
B. F. Mann and |Kustace Mutts. At the
conclusion of the talks, and upon the
suggestion of Mrs. High, all the ladies
present rose to signify their pledge
to give their active support to this
a rest proposition.
v “Pap” Andrew* led the vocal opera
*tiona, and It la needless to say thpt
the singing was of the highest order.
Bob White’s orchestra enlivened the
.occasion by a number of pleasing se
Jectlons. and with the combination of
.orchestra and voices, all were remind
ed that music atiU "hath charms.” and
everybody went away with a feeing
that “ ‘Tig a blessed good thing for
men and good women to be togeth
er.”

LOCAL RAIL MEN
BREATHE EASIER
While They Hoped For Settle
m§o* on Equitable. Basis,
They Would Have Been True
to Their Organizations and
Walked Out Sunday.
There was a sigh of relief from ev
ery railroad man here yesterday when
he read in The News that the propos
ed great strike had been called off by
the five big union heads and the pre
dieted tie up of the nation’s transpor
tat ion. scheduled to begin at € o’clock
tomorrow morning would not occur.
Not that the local railroaders are
anything but true and standing by
their respective unions, but more to
the desire on their part to see matters
adjust themselves in other than strike
channels. But. as stated. It would
have been practically a hundred per
cent answer to the order from respec
tive heads and much as they disliked
to do so they would have bundled
their overalls and quietly remained at
their holfcaa, or, better still, would
have swarmed the waters of Ogle
thorpe bay on hunting expeditions and
fishing trips. But they are all pleased
that it is over and Brunswick is pleas
ed too, because, leaving out any In
convenience which may have result
ed from the strike, the railroad men
here have hundreds of friends who
did not want to see them lose a min
ute.

Hoke Smith, Governor Hard

Composed Trio.
COMING OF HARDING TOOK
ENEMIES TO SAME DEPOT
Got in Close Quarters There as
Each Was Member of Recep
tion Committee and Courtesy
Demanded Hand Clasp and
Conversation. Politicians
Say Was Strange Sight.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 28. —President
Harding’s visit to Atlanta was a not
able event in the city's history and
was handled with fine success, but the
serious importance of the program
was enlivened by a number of amus
ing incidents, some of which had a
strong political flavor.
At the terminal station the recep
tion committee was waiting for the
President’s special train from Colum
bus. Ex-Senator Hoke Smith was a
member of the committee and was
standing in the lobby between the
waiting room and the train gates.
Clark Howell arrived a little late and
hurried toward the gate, thinking the
committee had gone downstairs to the
train. In his haste he collided with
Senator Smith.
“Love Feast.”
Instantly Mr. Howell’s hand went
out in greeting to his old-time politi
cal antagonist. The former senator
did not flicker a second in accepting
it and returning Mr, Howell’s hand
shake.
Governor Hardwick was standing
nearby and a newspaper man went
over to him and suggested that “the
love feast be made unanimous by hav
ing Mr. Howell shake hands wfth
him.'
Tie governor heartily afquiesced in
thej suggestion and Just as < that mo
ment Mr. Howell walked up Ivlth out
stretched hand.
So the coming of President Hard
ing brought together this trio of old
time bitter political enemies.

INSPECTOR DAVIS.
HORRIBLE DEATH
No Witnesses to Accident, But
Supposed That He Was
Crushed Between Freight
Cars.—Dead Man Leaves a
Large Family.
One of the most unfortunate acci
dents which has occjgrred in Bruns
wicvk in at long time was that of yes
terday afternoon when W. D. Davis,
car inspector of the A.. B. & A., was
crushed to death whfte attending to
his duties naer the repair shops of
the company in the southeastern part
of the city.
Just how the unfortunate man met
his death will never be known as no
one saw the terrible accident, but it
is supposed that he was caught be
tween two freight cars which were
being shifted about the yard, as the
body of the inspector was seen only,
after the cars had been pulled out. It
was horribly mangled.
Coroner Baldwin Was notified but
deemed no inquest necessary as it is
evident that death came as a result of
being run over or crushed by being
wedged ‘between cars which after
wards passed over the body.
Deceased came to Brunswick sever
al months ago from Coffee county. He
resides on Reynolds street, between
Mansfield and Howe, and has a wife
and four children and his untimely
death is deeply deplored. Funeral ar
rangembents had not been announced
yesterday, but It is thought the re
mains will be shipped to his former
home near Nichols today.
