| That Big Swamp Muddle
Atlanta, Ga. , Jan. 11 .—-[Special.]
Charles S. Abner and Mrs. Emily Cope
land, both from Augusta, were arrested
here this afternoon aud carried to the
station house, at the instance of the
] husband of the latter, who was at police
headquarters there waiting for them.
Fernandez Copeland, generally called
‘‘Bud,” was married seven years ago
in Augusta, and is the father of one
child, a little hoy, aged 6 years. His
wife Emily lias always appeared to be
happy and contented.
A few months ago Abner, who is a
married mau, and the father of oue
child, became acquainted with the
Copelands, and frequently visited their
house.
December last, when Copeland re
turned home late in the afternoon, from
a hard day’s work, he found his wife
gone, and later learned that she had
ruu away with Abner. He began a
s* arch for the couple, and succeeded in
locating them here.
Copeland still loves his wife and will
probably take her back to his bosom,
but will prosecute Abner to the fullest
extent ol the law. His wife lias been
released.
That Troublesome Swamp.
Atlanta, Ga., Jau. ll.—[Special.J-
There is likely to be further compli

having been called to the attention of
the executive department that some
years ago the State granted the property
to the orphans of Georgia Confederate
soldiers, which grant has never been
revoked.
It also appears that the Legislature
was sitiguarly ignorant in voting to sell
this property as the minimum 12'., cents
per acre, accepting the estimate that it
contained 450,000 acres.
The >State dystment shows that there
are 0110,009 acres in the swamp, and al
most its much more outside, which is
valuable property of the State, aud get
the act provides that tlie swamp anti the
lands in the vieieiuity nelonging Lo/he
State shall be fold at the minimum price
of 12 I cents per acre.

On George street, near its junction
with Grunt, is a telegraph wire swing
ing from one of the poles to the ground.
Yesterday afternoon a man passing
west from the park on George street,
got tangled up in this wire and was
thrown to the ground. He had evident
ly been reading about "dead” wires and
how lively they were for corpses, for he
at once h gait quiveriug us though he
felt a current of electricity shooting
along his spinal column, hunting for his
hack hair to give it clipping. I'p went
his arms, his legs flew out like the arms
of a wind mill, and his eyes were in a
tine frenzy rolling. To all appearances
lie bail ’em, sure, and that harm
less wire was getting in its work faster
than five-cent-a-drink liquid lightning.
In about a pair of minutes the fellow
came to, roiled over, got up and sneaked
away, hunting for a wooden legged
man to kick him around the block.
Imagination is sometimes as powerful
as a dead-live wire.

'FIRE FIGHTING
Brunswick’s Equipment For Down
ing the Fiend.
A Talk W.th Chief Merriiield-Not a Pleas
ant State of Affairs—The Department
Rather Down at the Heels—Bad Manage
ment the Cause.
Brunswick’s tire department neeeds
overhauling, if the court, in the person
of the newly elected chief, Capt. G. C.
Merrifield, knows itself, and that it
does there isn’t the least doubt.
Chief Merrifield has been there before
and knows how it is and what is better,
how it should be. lie’s no t yro in the
busiuess oil fighting fire or handling a
department and is unquestionably the
Dost equityod man in Brunswick for the
position it which he has been recently
called.
Yesterday morning in company with
Alderman F. Jos. Doerilinger. chairman
of the council committee on the tire de
partment, Jtief Merri field made an in
spection the material and apparatus
with wbic he has been entrusted, to
gether wit : the engine house.
A Time, reporter caught on and soon
had a stream of interrogatories turned
on the chi* f.
“How did you find things at the en
giue house V was the first dash out of
the box —no hose.
“Hoss on you,” said Chief Merrifield.
“But, badinage aside aud busiuess right
on, I went to the engine house to see
what sort < : an outfit there was lor fire
fighting and its condition.”
“Aud its condition ?”
“a most deplorable one.”
“It do eii’t sound pleasant to hear
this state ent, I know, but it is true,
nevertheless, and there is absolute aud
pressing necessity for immediate steps
towards remedying the evils l discov
ered, for evils aud dangerous ones they
are. I -found tlie engine with only a
half suction in working order, thus
rendering the engine unfit for use only
at a plug. The machine cannot, m its
present condition pump water from a
cistern or out of the bay. Tlieu, again,
the hook and ladder trucks are all torn
to pieces and are stored away in au
old sliiir'y, from which a half-dozen
men could hardly get them out in an
hour’s hard work.”
“not - nleasant feature chief.”
1 i„ , ' -sgY Y . ■>... M.nf io
not all. The floor of the engine house
is all broken in and the engine is in
danger of taking such a tumble as
would render it completely hors du
combat, as Barney Dart would say. |
The front of the reel house is so badly
cracked and bro..en that you can
scarcely get the doors open. Then
more: There are no nozzles but the old
time kind; about unfit for use. if a
tire should break out in a store, more
property would be destroyed than saved.
I called the attention of Chairman Doer
flinger to these tnings and he promised
to lay the matter before his committee
aud the council, pledgiug me all the as
sistance in his power, and in procuring
all the necessary outfit to put the de
partment in fighting trim.”
“What do you propose to do first?”
"Systematize everything, and then get
the department up to a first-class con
dition. There will be much work to do
this, but it must he done. There must
be such action on the part of the eouueil
aud citizens that will give Brunswick a
tire department, of which we will be
proud aud give the city protection.
I here should be at least four electrical
fire alarm stations, tlie firemen must be
drilled so that they will instantly know
where a fire is located when an alarm is
sent in. I propose to seek information
from the best fire chiefs in the South.
One thing more: There ought to be a
paid fire department in part, firemen em
ployed to be on wutch all the time.
This is but a hurried outline of what I
hope to see doue toward improving the
fire department”

CAMDEN COUNTY
Three Western Gentlemen Claiming
a Big Tract of Land,
Surveyor Broome Gives a Times Reporter
an Interesting Story Dating Back More
Than a Century—The Claimants to au
Enormous Acreage.
I
Camden county’s surveyor, Mr. B. A.
Broome, in is Brunswick on a mission ol
no little importance.
Mr. Broome is here to meet three gen
tlemen from the West, who are laying
claim to not less than 175,000 acres of
land in Camden and Charlton counties,
aud who will attempt to induce Mr.
Broome to make a survey of the property.
The case is one of a most intricate na
ture and the final outcome is looked lor
ward to with much interest.
A Times reporter saw Mr. Broome yes
terday afternoon aud obtained an inter
view from him. In the course of his
remarks Mr. Broome said:
“I came to Brunswick this morning to
meet
“THREE WESTERN GENTLEMEN,
Messrs. J. C. Pike, of Iowa; <>. D. Peek,
of Wisconsin, and a representative of
the Missouri Valley Land Company.
These gentlemen have in their jiossef
sion the cluims on three or four enor
mous] tracts of laud in Camden and < harl
ton. The property is in such a state
that the claimants may never realize
anything from it. I could give you the
whole story, but it would he rather
long.”
The reporter said he would like to
hear the story, and so Mr. Broome Ik.-
gu..
‘The first re*: Jet ts of Camden coun
ty. and 1 refer to old Camden, as con
s.s.ing of its present area together with
that of Charlton and Wayne and a part,
of Glynn, were the Middletons, Bry
ants, Weeds, Seagroves and Jacksons.
■Some of these families held property
under grants issued by George 111. of
England, while others held property
under grants issued by the State of
Georgia. These families owned the
whole of the comity and it was impossi
sible for anyone to become an owner of
property in the county save by pur
chasing from the owners, who seemed
to realize that fact and placed
(SUCH A FICTITIOUS VALUE
on the land as to exclude purchasers.
Together with this, the owners failed
to pay Riiy UtAOfi, tit die- Lu llio L'w,,i.... j
or State. It really seemed that the
vast area included in Camden counly
was destined to be comparatively unin-
habited.
“Taking all these things into con
sideration, Nathan Atkinson introduced
a hill in the Legislature providing that a
tenant could lawfully retain a piece of
property when he had lived on the same
for a term of seven years in undisputed
possession. That bill finally became a
iaw and no sooner was the Governor’s
signature affixed than people began
pouring into Camden aud took posses
sion of as much property as the law
would allow.
“About this time the Middletons,
Bryants and Jacksons disposed of their
claim to the property to these parties
m the West. The then owners paid no
attention to the new Georgia law ami
pretty soon a number of people owned
property in Camden by virtue of the
seven years’ undisputed possession.
When that fact became known, a man
named Primrose was sent down there,
from Philadelphia to ,
MAKE A COMPLETE SURVEY
of the claimed lands. He diilu’t stay
there loDg, however. The citizens didn't
care to have their rights trampled on
and four men were accordingly detailed
to escort Mr. Primrose out of the county,
dead or alive. Those four men started
out on their errand but they didn’t find
Mr. Primrose —he had gotten scent of
what was awaiting him aud had made
his exit. Now the claimants want to gel
hold of that pr pertyand setup two or
three tremendous mills and they win t
me to show them the property.”
“Do you expect to accommodate
I hem?”
“Well, on two conditions: First, I
must be insured against any danger thid
may befall me at tile bauds of the citi
zens; and second, 1 must be insured a
fair sum from the claimants.”
“l)o you oppreheud any trouble from
the citizens ?”
“Why, man. if those people over
there thought 1 was in with the claim
