the republican nominee for the senate;
ex-Congressman John Henry Wilson,
of the Eleventh district; Hon. E. T.
Franks, of the second district; Cap

law, Thomas Tauner, of Fraukfort.
Those named have been indicted for
conspiracy to bribe. All are republi
cans with the exception of Gaines and
Tanner.
The indictments were all included in
one bill and were filed in court at
10:20 o’clock. The news at once be
came public and created the greatest
indignation among the republicans, all
of whom denounced it as a conspiracy
among Frankfort - democrats to hu
miliate Hunter.
Chairman Jones, of the republican
caucus said that it was a “diabolical
and hellish conspiracy” and that the
republicans would disprove and re

Dr. Hunter has at last rebelled

that he leave Frankfort at once and
not return to meddle in the senatorial
muddle. This was not done, however.

turned Judge Cantrill ordered that
bench warrants be issued for the ar
rest of the accused and made for the
next term of court, which is in Sep

case.

law offense in Kentucky, the penalty
being fine or imprisonment or both at
the discretion of the jury.

PINE CREST POTATOES.
Photographs of Brobston’s Patch Are Adver
tising Brunswick.
The Brunswick correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution sends the follow
ing interesting story to that paper:
“Photographs have been forwarded
to prospective Canadian settlers show
ing a Brunswick Irish potato patch.
The photos were taken some days ago
at Pine Crest, the suburban home of
Edwin Brobston.
“The potatoes are yielding finely
and have splendid growth. A delega
tion of Canadians has just It ft Bruns
wick. They were sent south by a num
ber of their fellow citizens who want
to locate in this country. Their trip
pleased them to suoh an extent they
wrote for pictures of growing vegeta
tion to display before their friends in
the icy north.
“It is anew way to convince north
ern folks of the sou’h’s possibilities,
but may prove effective.”
Thk Timks, following on this line,
obtained yesterday some interesting
additional facts.
Mr. Brobston dug two hills of his
potatoes as an experiment yesterday,
obtaining a quart. He will begin sell
ing in the local market this week, and
by May 5 will begin shipping north.
New potatoes are now quoted in New
York at $9 per barrel.
The Brobston patch will yield not
less than 150 bushels to the acre. After
the Irish potatoes are harvested sweet
potatoes will be planted, and in Sep
tember the second crop will be ob
tained from the same ground. What
is there better than Glynn county
farming?
Messrs. H. 11. Harvey, Gus Lowen
stein and others will ship truck this
year for the first time. Our people are
just finding out that Brunswick is a
fine point for truck farming. Mr.
Richards, of the Southern, is doing a
great work in helping to bring these
advantages before the world.

would have literally eaten its way out
