able saloons are crowded with statesmen
and rouimon, every day citizens, who
are noisily discussing the episode of to

It is this: There was a lively tig! t
this morning, at the eapitoi h< tween

executive department, and Hon. \V. S.
Ijumphries, meinh r of the house from ]
Brooks county. The trouble occurred j
over a pension claim which Mr. Hum I

claimant.
A Hiisauderstanding arose Between I
the pjpitleman from IBooks and Oapt. 1
Harrison, and in the eourseof awry]
torrid discussion, Mr. Humphries gave I
it out in plain English that. Harrison
had treated him in a manner unbecom

“That's a lie!” * \ elan nod Harrison.
“ A iid you are another, ” retorted Hum
phries, with a Johnsonian expletive.
Out How apt. Harrison's good right

There will he no duel.
A Little Legislation
Atlanta. Ha.. Wept, 2. (Special j
The house had two sessions fco-dav , do i
voted mainly to the passage of local j
bills.
The mbsl important of the bills,
passed was the one prescribing that
among the <putliHations necessary to
wear a star as a policeman in Darien is
that tin* applicant shall be able to read
and writ**. This will shut out the ne
gro applicants for Lite position of police- I
in that town.
THEY DID NOT STRIKE
A Victory for the Master Workmen and

' The whole thing is a coup d’etat of
Master Workman la\ve of the Knights
of Labor, lie has been for over a year
past, aiming to be a leader among the
negroes here, and has, to a great extent,
succeeded; though, as he Isa British
subject from Nassau and decline- to be
come naturalized, glory more than politi
cal ambition would seem to he hb ob
ject. He is well aware t hat the want of
cohesion among the stevedores has been
the means of their frequent undoing,
many <>f them taking contracts at rates
which would not permit them to pay
their employes; and he hag held them
together with a baud of iron ever sinew

their general advantage.
“They have, however, begun to rebel i
atjhis autocratic exercise of authority, I
and are developing factions among them- i
selves, as indicated in yesterday’s
specials. The strongest of tlje.-e is under i
the leadership of ex-Statcsman Sam j
Petty. It was to overcome the mutter
ing> of these factions and to show them
what lie could do for them, that Lowe
ordered the demand for an increase in
prices, and the preparation- for a strike
in ease the demands were refused.
“Petty stock is, at present, at a dis

Of this number about half are covered j
with cotton bagging.
“Livance baggiu,’’ it 1s called by the
negroes who are handling the hales.
There is a marked contrast in the ap

cotton bagging and those around which
is the old fashioned jute bagging. The
Burner iu.< badly gored, with great gap

In fact, these bales eoveied w ith the

Wherever the hooks catch it there is a

This cotton i- from Albany, where

Hou. James Postell was at the meeting
by request of tile board, and a conference
was held with him iu regard to oertain
educational bills likely to be introduced
iu the General Assembly. Among these
was the bill to increase, tbe local school
tax in Glynn county. Mr. Postell was
assured that the mayor and council of
Brunswick were not opposed to the pas
sage of the bill.
The resignation of Mr. A. I. Branham
as county school commissioner aud su- j
periuteudent was read. On motion n j
was accepted to take effect October 1. j
PREVIOUS TO THIS ACTION
Mr. Branham was sent for and asked]
whether or not he would continue to j
hold the offices. Ho replied that his i
resignation was in good faith $ that for- j
mal written notice of it had been placed
in the hands of the hoard early in July ; ;
that, while it would bo possible for him
to continue to discharge the duties of
the office, he preferred to he counted
out; and, that if lie should be re-elected
iu the face of these facts, he did not
know whether or not his business asso
ciates would consent for him to serve
In consequence, he had authorized Mr.
Nelson to say that lie would not accept
a re-election.
Air. Edgar H. Orr, of Atlanta, wa.,
then elected county school commissioner
and superintendent, at. a salary of SI,OOO
per annum.
Mr. Orr is the son of the late Dr. G.
J. Orr, State school commissioner. He
has been a clerk in the commissioner’s
office in Atlanta several years. He is
thoroughly familial with the public
school laws, he is a scholar and a Christ- 1
tan, and is possessed of abundant energy
He deserves the unanimous and hearty
support of the community.
SOME OTHER MATTERS
received the attention of the board, af
ter which an adjournment was taken
until the next regular meeting.
The schools will reopen for the fall
term on Momlfiv, Sept ember MO. On that
day it is expected that all of them will
be provided with capable teachers. In
the city schools a full corps, excepting u
principal for the Itisley school (colored)
has been elected. A principal for the
Itisley school will probably be elected
toward the close pf this month.
The board is doing all that is possible
toward erecting anew school building.
Hart of the money is in hand, and two
designs for the building have been sub
mitted to the building committee, it is
probable that the house will he ready
for out upauey by the January 1. The
designs submitted are both well adapted
to their purposes. Should either lie
selected, Brunswick will have a school
building of which she may he proud.

SIXTY FIVE CARS.
A Brunswick and Western Freight Train
Attracts Much Attention.
Are Brunswick’s rail rands bu-y ?
Bather.
Not a day passes without an increase
in their freight business.
Recently Tuf. Times has given some
account of the heavy freight business
from Brunswick, but the business to the
city is quite as heavy.
For instance.
Yesterday afternoon a freight train
arrived via (lie Brunswick and Western
consisting of an engine and sixty-five
loaded cars. When the call was passing
i the Ocean hotel, tbe engine was several
blocks beyond the Brunswick and Wes
: tern general office. People on the Bay
i looked at the long train with great in
terest, justly regarding it aH an evidence
] of the city’s progress.
The engine that pulled the train was
i No. 25, with Engineer Wright at the
i throttle. Conductor Taylor was in
j charge of the train.
Brunswick is marching on, and the
; Brunswick and Western is helping her
to do so.
Looking for Richards.
Brunswick’s police force is on the look
i out. The officers have good reason to
j believe that John Richards, the Wool-
I folk witness, is still in the city. It is
probable that every nook and corner of
j the city will be searched by the officers,
'it is to be hoped that they will be suc
-1 oesslul ia their efforts to secure him.
DIRECT COMMUNICATION
Brunswick Able to Boast a Line of Trans-
Atlantic Steamships.
The Times is informed that a loading
cotton thru of Brunswick Las made ar
rangements for direct European trans
portation of the South's principal staple
One steamship has already been secured
for the hue, to ply between Brunswick
aud Giver pool and Bremen. It is ex
peeted that others will also be obtained.
Owing to reasons that are wise, the
name of the firm is suppressed for the
present. In the meantime, Brunswick
may rejoice iu the fact that she is the
only Boutli Atlantic port that is able to
maintain permanently direct steamship
connection with Europe.

GAY YACHTSMEN
Members of the New Yo”k Club to
Visit Brunswick.
Their Purpose is to Try This City as a Win
ter Port-What They Will do A New York
Man Expresses Hif Views About the City
by the Sea
Capt. J. N. Robbins, of New York,
was in Brunswick Sunday. lie was on
his way to Florida on business.
Capt. Robbins told a Times reporter
that it was probable that a considerable
number of the members of the New York
Yacht Club would make Brunswick’s
harbor their anchorage next winter. It
seems that both sail and steam yachts
will be brought here, the purpose being
to test Brunswick as a winter port for
pleasure seekers.
“1 am not a member of the club,” said
said Capt. Bobbins, “but several of my
friends are prominent in it. One of them
informed me some weeks ago that a ma
jority of the club had virtually decided
to try Brunswick as a winter rendez
vous."
“What are their plans V”
“They will bring their yachts to
Brunswick about the middle or last of
January. When all are
ASSE.'IHI.EI) HERE,
they will agree upon what points to the
Southward they desire to visit, and
will then make suoh voyages as may
seem to oiler the greatest inducements
for pleasure. The wealthy men who
belong to the Jekyl Island club have told
many interesting stories of their expe
riences on the island and iu the neigh
borhood of Brunswick. The impression
has been made that the huuting iu this
vicinity is very fine, and the yachtsmen
propose to test the matter for themselves.
Hi addition, it is understood that the
climate here, is pleasant in winter and
that storms are rare."
“Is Brunswick much talked about in
New York?"
“Talked about? I should say so.
The place was not in the route I selected
when 1 left New York for Florida, but,
when 1 arrived in Savannah, 1 deter
mined to turn aside and spend a day
hero, so that 1 might see the city of
which I find beni and so rand' I liad|
heard of Brunswick as a resort for pleas
ure seekers, but I find that it is also a
great place for business.”
TO KEEP SAPELO OPEN.
The Station Not to be Closed Oct 1, and
Probably Not. Till January.
The Savannah Morning News says;
“There has been no Official informa
tion received with reference to the poti- j
tion of the health authorities of Savan-j
nali and the ports of the South Atlantic
coast to the marine hospital department
to keep the Sapelo quarantine open, but !
it is understood that it will not bo closed j
October i, as at first contemplated, on i
account of the failure of an appropria
tion to keep it open, but that it will re
main open until January 1.
“The station is iu charge of Dr. J. Iff.
Groenevelt during the absence of Dr.
White on furlough at his home in M il
icdgeville. Dr. White had applied fora
leave of absence to recruit his health,
and Dr. Groenevelt was on his way South
to take temporary charge when Dr.
White w is struck down by lightning,
“The importance of keeping the.Sapelo
station open was recognized by Surgeon
General Hamilton, and when the appro
priation runs out the contingent fund,
in the hands of the President, to prevent
epidemics, will probably be drawn upon
as it was iu 1884.”
Tbe Largest Yet.
Brunswick was, seemingly, very quiet
during tbe mouth just past, but the effi
cient police force, under Chief John B.
Dart and his deputy, Lewis Beach, has
been very watchful and has taken many
evil-doers before the mayor. That offi
cial has done some good work also, iu the
way of fines, aud the receipts from the
mayor’s court hails up a total of $403, for
the month of August. This is the largest
amount that has faien obtained from that
source since t,he incorporation of the city.
A good start was made yesterday morn
ing toward keeping up the record.
Bound Over.
Before Justice Coker, yesterday, the
negroes arrested by Constable I.evi-oa
Sunday bad their trial. They were
Alex Roberts, Sandy and Grace Bcrien,
Tom and Charlotte Roberts. They were
charged with having stolen a drove of
turkeys from Mr. Stafford Burney, who
resides near Sterling.
Justice Coker bound over Alex Rob
erts and Sandy and Grace Bcrien to the
next term of the county court. The
other two were dismissed.
Broke His Leg.
Simon Ellis, colored, who works atone
of the docks in the city, had his left leg
broken yesterday. Ellis was eugagod in
moving some lumber, when the idle fell
down on him, crushing his leg quite
badly and breaking it just above the
knee’. Ellis was taken to his home near
Dixville and a physician was called in
who set the fracture and left the man
doing as well as could be expected under
the oirou instances.

A Comparltlve Statement of the Foreign
Vessels That Come aud Go.
Brunswick’s advantages as a port are
not only known throughout this Slate
aud ttic United States, but her fame has
gone across the waters, and the number
of foreign vessels that conic iu here in
creases almost every day.
A Times reporter vent around tost he

comparative statement of the number o(
foreign voissels that put in at this poin’,
and those that cleared from here during
the mouth of August, 1889, and the same
month of 1888.
There came iu during August, 1888,
three vessels whose tonnage was 1,881.
In the same mouth there were cleared
fifteen vessels, with a tonnage of 7,394.
In August of this year there were nine
vessels whose tonnage aggregated 4,810
to come in, while sixteen vessels with a
tonnage of 0,389 were cleared.
These were only foreign vessels and
did hot include any of the numerous
coastwise crafts that have been in or out

one and speaks well for the increased
