THE BRUNSWICK TIMES.
VOLUME 8, NO. 300.
Sunday’s Times Will Be Out Saturday Morning. All the Features of the Sunday Edition Will Appear In This Issue.
THE COUNTY SAVED
ANOTHER ELECTION.
Mr. Beach Will Not Resign
the Superior Court
Clerkship.
JOHN LEHMAN STILL SERENE.
Mr. Beach Was Advised By Attorney General
Terrell and Judge Atkinson That
He Heed Hot Resign.
There will be no vacancy in the
office of clerk of superior court.
There will be no election to sucoeed
Jacob L. Beach in the office for the
good and sufficient reason that Mr.
Beach will not resign.
The new commissi'oner reached the
city yesterday morning, and shortly
after his arrival, made the announce
ment that he would remain in charge
of the local office which lie has held so
long.
“Before I would consent, to take the
appointment of commissioner”, said
Mr. Beach, “L took the trouble to get
eminent legal advice as to whether I
could retain my Brunswick office. I
sought the advice of Attorney General
Terrell, and Justice Spencer R A< kin
son, and bath informed me that there
was no legai r.qu r, ment for my
resignation, and that I could tioid both
offices. I therefore oousented to my
appointment on the commission, and
will uot resign the clerkship of the
superior cuurt.”
This new turn of the political wheel
knocks out the expected election to
fill Mr. Beach’s unexpired term, and
Mr. Harry F. du Bignon, who yester
day morning announced his candidacy
for the place, will have to wait awhile.
Deputy-Clerk John C. Lehman will
Temain in bis present position, and
will continue to discharge his duties
as efficiently as be has in the past.
Mr. Beach received many congratu
lations yesterday, and was always the
center of a group of admiring friends.'
He talked interestingly of the political
situation, and pleasantly described
the incident of drawing for the terms,
in which the gentleman from Glynn,
ss usual, came out on top.
The decision of Mr. Beach obviates
the necessity of another exciting elec
tion within the next thirty days, and
the political horosoope is thus made
clear until next October.
COUNTERFEITER’S SCHEME.
Brunswickians Are Rsoeiving Decoy Letters
That Lead to Qold Brick Schemes.
Several prominent' Brunswickians
have, during the past week, received
letters from Newark, N. J., that cover
* well-laid scheme to entrap the un
wary.
The letters are very cleverly written
and arejneant for those who are not
sufficiently versed in the wiles of up
to-date civilization to know the differ
ence between a gold brick and a
genuine article. They prob.biy cam*
to the Brunswickians above referred
to through mistake, as these gentle
men were not to be gulled, and
promptly turned the letters over to the
proper authorities.
The letter requests the reoipie it to
communicate with C. A. Earl, Ess' in
Pa., and to sign his name to the tr'<■
gram “C A. Teller.” The requ'M’e
necessary to obtain the goods iff red
are S3OO in money and a railroad De‘*
to Easton. If anyone should hsppe
to follow ail the instructions set f nt>
in the letter, and the circulars tba'
accompany it, he would wake up om
flue morning a good deal poorer in
p icket, but much richer in experience-
Such schemes are, however, intended
for the country districts, and Bruns
wick people, especially those who read
The Times and keep up with the pro
gress of events, are not tobeciught
by them.
LYCEUM WILL OPEN.

Beard is one of the best that the South
ern Lyceum bureau affords. It is
called “Chalk Talks,” and the great
master of the pencil and brush makes
his audience enjoy itself from the be
ginning to the end of the evening. He
gives many amusing anecdotes, and
illustrates bis talk by drawing car
toons on the platform. lie draws faces
from the audience, and does some of
his oieverest lightning sketching. Mr.
Beard is a unique personality, and be
is sure to please his audience in Bruns
wick, as has in all other citi -s in which
he has appeared.
