Brunswick, Ga, March T.-Capt Ben
AIilliken of Jesup is in the city, but
whether or not his visit has any bearing
on his proposed candidacy ON the popu-
list platform again Mr.. Turner for con-
gress is not known. He says his visit here
is purely on private business, but he was
met and entertained by leading siverites
and populists. If the populists put out
candidate this year they want a man who
has some money to spend, and Capt Mil
lilxen seems to fill their bill 1t is claimed
that he does not want to make the race
except for the sake of the cause he es-
pouses but would rather some good strong
man with barrel would offer for the
sacrifice. The plan of the free silverltes
and the populists i'm the Eleventh district
seem to be anything to down Mr.. Tur-
ner."
The candidacy of Mr.. Burch is not re-
garded with favor by the silver champions.
He is too weak a candidate for them, but
he is in the race and out of the available
men in this district he is as fair repre-
sentative as they can get.
Friends of Mr. Turner have been half

debates issued by Mr.. Burch. and it is GER
cepted, although Mr.. Turner entertains
strong views against debates that may

A letter received from former citizen
of Brunswick now at Fitzgerald states
that he wants to come home. He claims
that the town itself is all right, but there
are too many people in it, citing as one
instance of overcrowding the presence or
hfty-one real estate agents. Several or
Brunswick's citizens are there now, but
none of them think the place itself baG.

The supply of oyster shells purchased
by the county commissioners, to be used
in Smelling the roads, has been about ex-
hausted, but the amount of good done with
them cannot be oVerest imated. BY Judi

best shell roads to be had.
