No Mud 5inRinR to Be INDUCED In
in This Campaign.
BRUNSWICK, GA, Sept. 16.-As the con-
grsssional race in this (the Eleventh. dis
trict will result In the election OF the regu-
lar democratic nominee, Hon Henry g..
Tuner, the people Of Brunswick and Glynn
county are turning their attention TO local
| affairs, and the election OF Russell, the
democratic nominee of the Fourth senatorial
district. Russell will be opposed by Proctor,
| an out and out Ocaleite. Russell will be
elected Glynn and Charlton will go for
/ him solid and Camden VIII roll up heavy
majority for democracy. In Glynn county
Judge N. L. Mershon. the regular nominee,
is opposed by Capt. Sam Brockington on the
| independent ticket. Judge Mershon Is a
foroible, eloquent speaker, aud rendered
valuable aid to the party ia the recent con-
| gressional race. His eloquence and erect
i've work in that campaign brought the
| attention of tho democratic national execu-
Tive committee to him and they have re-
| quested him to aid them in the national
campaign, a request that be has responded
| to favorebly. As q token OF their apprecia-
ton OF Judge Mershons ability and worth

questioned and his opponent publicly and in
a perfectly good-natured way says that he
docs not xpect to be elected and don't care
whether he 10 or not, but concluded TO make
the race against Mershon anyhow"
NO MUD SINGING.
There will be no mud singing in Glynn's
race for representative. The ordinary's
Office, made vacant by the disappearance Of
the late incumbent is still vacant. There
are seven candidates in the field and all are
working hard. One OF the hardest workers
In this race is Candidate +. E. Twitty. He
is the representative Of no faction but is
conducting his canvass on his own merits.
Mr.. Twitty Is young attorney, and this
fact gives him quite q leverage, as the
work Of an ordinary necessitates a famil-
iartty with law in settling most Of the
questions before the ordinary's court.
City affairs and the race for mayor we're
given new interest this week by the publica-
ton of bitter card in the Euening Aduer-
ttser. Mayor Thomas w. Lamb, the pres
emit incumbent, is a candidate for re-elec-
ton. and is opposed by w. +. Symons. Mr.
Symons Is business man OF splendid char
acteF, but heretofore unknown In politics.
Mayor Lamb is known throughout the state
as a democrat Of the truest blue He rep
resented this district ably In the Senate
last term, and on his return was elected
mayor. As county commissioner, for
many years he served the county faithfully
! and well. BE will be reelected, es he de-
serves. Unfortunately for his opponents,
some Of their side have commenced a CAM
psign Of personal abuse, referring to Mayor
Lamb as
"sBLRT-TAIL PLowBoY,"
ETC.. presumably from the fact that Mayor
Lamb conducts farm and has never been
afraid or ashamed to work for his living.

abusing Mayor Lamb; neither do the best
people OF Brunswick, irrespective Of the
side they are working for.
Brunswick is a growing city and Its mu-
| nioipal affairs under the guardianship of
Mayor Lamb will compare favorably with
| any city in the state. No candidates have
been named on either ticket to succeed four
of the aldermen who will retire from the
present administration, but it is rumored
that the Symons ticket will be composed OF
A. B. Upper, A V. Wood, T. Newman
and William E Futch.
