BELL COMPANY’S VICTORY.
Will it Shut Brunswick Out From the Ad
vantage of Competition?
Will the supreme court decision, in
favor of the Bell Telephone company's
patent, put a stop to the operations of.
the Waycross and Valdosta lines,
both of which are now being extended
to Bruuswick?
The mattes is an interesting one to
the citizens, and is being variously
discussed.
The Berliner patent, issued in 1891,
covers all forms of microphone trans
mitters using a variable contact,
which covers all forms of commercial
transmitters. This decision will re
sult in the closing of all opposition
exchanges over the country that are
cow using any form of carbon trans
mitters, and virtually gives the Bell
company the telephone business for a
number of years.
The Valdosta line, from Valdos'a to
Waycross, and in adjoining towns,
comprises an important, system in
Southern Georgia, says the Savannah
News. There are opposition systems
to the Bell telephone all over the
south. The | rice of telephone service
has been greatly reduced in all places
where opposition lines were in opera
tion and the removal of the opposi
tion will naturally tend to lessen the
likelihood of any further reduction
with a probability rather of an in
crease in rates where the price has
been lowered by competition.
There will in all probability be a
fight before the opposition lines are
abandoned
MaDy Will Go.
The low rate offered by the Cumber
land Route to Jacksonville, for Fri
day’s bicycle raceß, will draw a large
list of passengers. The schedule for
Che trip has been conveniently ar
ranged, and those who leave at 8
a. m. can see the races and return
home at 11 o’clock the same night.
Having a Big Time.

large assortment of commissary stor is.

COMMISSIONERS •
MAKE CHANGES.
After Seeing Charlotte’s Courthouse
They Again Amend the
Plans.
OUR STRDCTDRE WILL BE SMALLER
But the New Arrangement Will Give a Larger
Superior Court Room and Better Ven
tilation and Costs Less.
The plans of Glynn’s new court
house have again been altered.
County Commissioners J. S. Wright,
E. F. Coney and IT. 11. Harvey spent
Monday in Charlotte, N. the home
of Architect Frank P. Miiburn, who
was selected to draw the plans for the
courthouse. Mr. Miiburn planned the
court house at Charlotte, much on the
same style as that proposed {for the
Brunswick structure. The commis
sioners wished to see this building,
in order that they might judge, from
the evidence of their own ey’fes, the re
quirements of Glym county in that
line.
Commissioners Wright and Ilarvey
returned home yesterday. Commis
sioner Harvey was spen by a Times
man. lie said :
“After carefully inspecting the
Charlotte courthouse, we gave Mr.
Miltnirn instructions to amend his
plans. The change ordered is a con
siderable one. In the first place, the
cost of the building, under the
amended plans, will be less, and (he
structure will be smaller—93 feet in
leng!lt instead of 120, as originally in
tended.
“By a rearrangement of the second
lloor, the superior courtroom will be
considerably larger than in the orig
inally accepted plans, and the ventila
tion will be much improved.”
The amended plans will be forwarded
by Architect Miiburn as soon as he
completes them, and will be finally
passed on by the commissioners.
The result of the changes, the com
missioners think, will be a cheaper
and at Ihe same time prettier and
more conveniently arranged court
house.
SAILORS WHO STOLE.
They Went Off With the Quarantine Boat
At Sapelo.
Dr. J. A. Nydegeer,surgeon in charge
of the United States quarantine station
at Sapelo, came over to the city yester
day, bringing with him three white
sailors, who are charged with making
away with government property.
The three men, who were on a ves
sel held at the Sapelo station, decided
one night to leave the ship and go
ashore, where they could disport them
selves at will. They lacked, however,
the means of transportation to Darien
and made good the discrepancy by
taking one of the quarantine boats.
With this they went to Darien and
proceeded to have a good time.
The authorities at the quarantine
station instituted a search and the
men were arrested in Darien and
brought to the city by Dr. Nydegger.
Deputy United States Marshal E. F,
Taylor took charge of the men and
they are iu jail to await the action of
the United States courts.
