VOLUME XX—NO. 47
STREET CAR SALE
WILL RE HEARD IN
SAVANNAH TODAY
AH Parties at interest Will Go
Before U. S. Judge
Evans.
LOCAL COMPANY MAY HAVE
INCREASE BID SOMEWHAT
In Event Certain Financial Ob
ligations of Old Company,
Such as Taxes, Etc., Must be
Added.—Generally Thought
New Conditions Can be Met.
The sale of the City & Suburban
railway matter will be taken up by
Judge Beverly D. Evans In Savannah
today and representatives from
Brunswick of various parties at inter
est will be present. Attorney Prank
M. Scarlett is handling the sale part
of it for the Young Men’s club pur
chaser, G. C. Smith, of the new City
and Interurban Railway Company,
the buyer, and Conyers & Wilcox will
act for the receiver. Mr. Smith will
be present at the hearing also.
It .will be remernibered that G. C.
Smith, representing the new street
car company;, bid the piruperty tin
when it was sold by Receiver Usman
for the sum of $12,100, this being the
highest bid received sales day. The
matter was taken to Judge Evans for
confirmation and he took it under ad
visement but, in the meantime, tell
ing all parties at Interest that he
would advise them when he would
consider it again. This notice came
and all will go this morning.
It may be said that a confirmation
Is hardly expected on the bid of $12,-
100, but the Judge will, In ail proba
bility, allow the company, Mr. Smith
representing it, to revise the bid so
as to meet necessary requirements.
There is a ntat|#*r of several thousand
dollar* of mmy the old com
pany which, it Is thought, will have to
be taken care of by the purchasers
and it may be that another Item or
two will ulso be brought in the list of
(Obligations hanging over t,he old com
pany. In this connection, 1t can be
stated that any reasonable revision
m ot the bid can be met and It Is hoped
that it can be so arranged that a flnnl
arrangement can be reached uh soon
as possible, as the new company is
desirous of laying plans for extension,
bettermen, etc., and the sooner this
is stalled, the better.
WITHOUT HINDRANCE NOW

“The next thing Is the Y. W. C. A.,"

paign quota. IGf course we’re going

Fred G. Ward®, when Mrs. High ap
pealed to him In behalf of the cause,
and J, Mark* Wilcox was equally os
emphatic in his assurances.
“The Y. W.* C. A. campaign gave
way to the other Imperative and tm
nnxllnte issues week, stepped
aside in their favor,” explained Mrs.
High In her talk' he(Vre the Club.
’ But now that the election has pass

THE BRUNSWICK NEWS
PRAC: iCALLY EVERYBODY
OBSF *VED THANKSGIVING
i
Many Attend Lnvine Services and
Large Numbers Sought the
Forest and Stream.
Thanksgiving was more generally
observed than ever before as practi
cally everybody laid aside his or her
daily routine and spent the holiday
as suited them. Several of the
churches had services and all of these
were well attended, especially is this
true of St. Mark’s, where Rev. Henry
F. Wilson, director of the Society of
the Nazarene, conducted services at
10 a. m., and 8 p. m.
The moving picture bouses were op
ened and enjoyed reasonably good
patronage, while the forest and
stream proved popular with sports
men and fishermen. It was a beau
tiful day for landing fine members of
the finny tribe but was rather warm
for quail hunting. Notwithstanding
this fact though, some report good
bags.

The advertised prize fight for L

and those who bought tickets saw
their full money's worth, not only from
a scientific fistic standpoint hut also
from a general rough and tumble a t
fair, a kind of “catch-as-catch-can” as
there was hitting and slugging by a
half a dozen participants, who, in the
excitement of the moment did not
really know who they wanted to “put
out of business."
“Tiger” Fowers, the local fighter,
knocked out “Curly Kid” Williams,
the imported gladiator, in the fourth
rounds. But mere was some really
good fighting done by them.
After the 'Wit fW' some of the
barkers got nixed up and there wae
a general scr.mtrage with Judge Dave
Pope the final winner in police court
yesterday morning. But those who
paid to see some fighting certainly
ought not to kick—they saw it—n
kinds and colors.
