BRUNSWICK POLITICS.
Some of the Candidates Who Are in
the Political Field.


Brunswick, Ga, Feb. 2S.-The political
situation in G.ynn county is remarka-
Bile at preseut for its apparent inactivity.
The presenCeiu Brunswick recently, how
ever, of Mr.. W NJ Toomer, of Waycross,
occasIoned considerable talk amongst the
politicians MIR Toomer is the BRIGHT
young stenolrapher of the Brunswick
circuit and is, Of course, very close to
Judge Joel J.. Sweat. His arrival IN
Brunswick during this period, when the
question of quitting out an opposing can
didate to Judge Sweat is the absorb
ing question with several Of Brunswick s
lawyers. naturally excited comment.
His visit started the friends Of Col. j. w.
Bennett TO work again, and they are
pressing him TO enter the race for the
judgcship. Col. Bennett has not yet an
nounced his intention
If Judge Sweat has opposition he Wlll
put up a strong fight.
There are only two candidates men
toned for the legislature 50 far, Judge
Alfred j. Crovatt and Mr.. K. i. Twitty
Mr. Twitty has not yet positively an
nounced his candidacy, but should he do
so il would be on the Turner Bennett IS
sue Turner for the Senate and Bennett
for the bench. This issue is supposed to
be in direct opposition to Judge CrOyatt,
who is credited by the Turner
and Bennett men with being
for DuBignOp for the Senate and Judge
Sweat for thy bench.
Before it was made public by your CORE
spondent that Col. Benefits name was be-
ing proposed for the bench, the local poll
ticians were undecided between Twitty
and Crovatt Since Twtty has been
spoken OF as a straightout Bennett man a
quotation on the situation by we'll
known politician will not be amiss. He
said: If TwittY had not brought the
SWeat-Bcnnett issue in his campaign he
would have held some strong supporters
who would have aided his fight in order
to help Mr. Turner AS it is now some of
these men are friends of Judge Sweat
aud will give Croyatt their aid on that
account regardless Of CrOvatt's vote on
the sena torial question. II is fair to say
for Judge CrOvatt tnat he is non-commit-
tai on the senatorial question.
Twitty is feeling the pulse of the pub
lie. If his friends push him forward
against Crovatt an interesting canvass
will be had
With a number of people Crovatt is
very popular, and the able and good work
he did on behalf of securing a sewerage
system for Brunswick and his Conscien-
tious work in placing the bonds and max
ing the sewerage matter success are in
his favor
The real issues of the campaign TO date
lie not between the candidates, but the
men for whom the prospective candidates
viii vote for the Senate. Twitty will be
red hot for Turner, and if Crovatt is
located as being against Turner and for
duBignon, he win have a strong fight to
down MIR. Turner's friends in getting first
place Glynn county is for Turner for the
Senate, and his friends can be counted to
stand solid against any man who is
against him. If Twitty should decide not
to run, Col. w. +. Kay is spoken of as
Crovatt's opponent

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

Japanese Troops Reported to Have Occue
 pied Wi Ju Without Opposition From
 the Enemy-The Emperor's Avuncuiar
 ApUointee Will Make Trouble-Unarmed
 Raw Recruits-Taking Refuge In the
 Treaty Ports-Moving on Moukden.
 LONDON, Oct. e.-A dispatch from Shanghai to the Central News says that the Japanese have occupied Wi Ju without meeting with any opposition on the part of the Chinese troops.
 Friction between Prince Kung, the cmperor's avuncular appointee to the presidency of the tsung Ii yamcn tthe foreign board), and Li Hung Chang, the dispatch says, is inevitable.
 The viceroy is certain to be ham, pered in his conduct of operations against the Japanese. The imperial council is completely disorganized, and the corruption which has pre- vailed in the commisary department for years has left the troops with no suitable clothing and a scanty supply of food. Cannons, rifles and other muni- tions of war. which from time to time were alleged to have been bought and paid for, cannot now be found, and presumably the money represented to have been expended for them was ap- propriated by the officials into whose hands it was intrusted.
 The immense camp between Tien- Tsin and Taku is filled with raw lcvics of troops, who are without arms and in many cases without sufficient. cloth ing to cover them. Disorder in the camp is rampant, there being not the slightest degree of discipline. Execu- tions take place daily, the merest in- fraction of rule or law being punisha- ble by the loss of the offenders head.
 European residents of China are talk ing refuge in the treaty ports under the protection of the war ships of their respective countries. Large numbers of Chinese merchants are also seeking safety in flight. Their goods are be- ing seized, and in many cases men of large means have been plundcred of every vestige of property they pos sessed, and beaten and otherwise mal- treated if. they protested. Most of these have also made their way to the treaty ports
 The troops stationed at Canton have been ordered to Formosa.
 The Pall Mall Gazette publishes a dispatch from Shanghai stating that the Japanese troops are reported to be rapidly nearing Moubden.

A CHURCH QUESTION

Settled by the Supreme Court of Pennsyl- vania--The Evangelical Association Wins Its Suit Against the Seceders Involving the Title to Two Hundred and Ten Church Edificcs--Berks County Reversed. PITTSBURGH, Pa.. Oct. 2.-In the SUI preme court vf Pennsylvania, which met in annual session yesterday, Jus tice Williams rendered an opinion re- versing the Berks county court and granting Rev. Augustus Krecker and others an injunction against Rev.
 Jones H. Shirey and others. The case was a dispute for church property growing out of the cele- brated split in the Evangelical association at the time that Bishops
 Dubs, Esher and Bowman were sus- pended from their offices. The court reviews the case and finds that the last conference at Indianapolis was the le- gitimatc ruling power of the church, and that the Eastern Pennsylvania con- ference was an illegally constituted and rebellious body
 The property in question is the Emmanuel church at Reading. The court rules on seven points regarding the trouble as follows: First, that the general conference of 1891 was the reg ular successor of that of 1887; second, that the alleged general conference that met in Philadelphia in 1891 was an unauthorized body and it's assumption of ecclesiastical authority was an act ences, congregations and church mem bcrs that adhere to the general confer ence constitute the Evangelical asso- citation; fourth, that those who ad- here to the Philadelphia confer ence are an independent and hos tile associations; fifth, that the property which prior to 1891
 belonged to the. Evangelical .associa- tion now belongs to that body; sixth,
 the assignment of the plaintiff, Kreck- CT, to the pastorate of the Emmanuel church, having been made by pro- visioual body, gave him no title capa- ble of enforcement, but his subse- quent ratification by the general conference gave him title under the law of the church, and therefore under the law of the land; seventh, the assignment of the defendant, Shirey, to the same pastorate, by the illegally organized conference of East Pennsyl- vania, has no title capable of enforce ment underline law of the land, against the Evangelical association or it's ad- herents.
 The decree of the lower court is re- versed and an injunction is ordered to restrain the defendants from exercis- ing control over Emmanuel church and from excluding the plaintiff from the puir:t of the church. The costs are also placed upon the defendants.
 This decision settles the ownership of 210 churches in Pennsylvania.

uRsAn LIFE IN TIE SOUTH.

xhe Rapid Rush of the People to tho Cao-
 ics and Towns-An Anaivsis of Census
 Returns-The Government Statistictan
 Deems the Figures AIarming-Actual
 Loss In Agricultural Population.
 WASHINGTON, Sept e9.--''The city population in the southern states has outgrown tho total population in the ratio of 3 to 1. while it has outstripped the country population fivc-fold." This startling truth has been discovered by the statistician of the department of agriculture in analyzing the census figures. It is a matter of general in formation that town and city pUpula- tion has been growing faster than the agricultural population, but who is prepared for such statement?
 There are 2e,44s.16 people in the southern states by the last census, and 5,675,252 of them live in cities and towns. In 1860 these same states had 12,315,373 population, and only 1,5O0,- 292 in cities.
 The statistician includes Missouri in the southern states. In that state the total population is s,679,ls4. and the cities and towns contain 1,121 ,612, only a little less than one-haf. In 1860 four-fifths of the population of Missouri was agricultural.
 The statistician believes these figures are enough to awaken anxious specu- 1ation among thoughtful men,"
 The table which the statistician has compiled to show the comparative i'm crease of urban and agricultural popu- lation in the south from 1S60 to 1890 is as follows:
