BRUNswICK's BUDGET.
Judge sweafs Chambers Court
BrhntIey and His Campaign.

NOuENs
BrantIey and His Campaign.
Brunswick Ca, Aug. 2s-Judge Sweat
yesterday, allowed an order stopping the
salary Of the receiver of the Brunswick
State Bank. which has been running since
1898, and. in the future. in lieu Of a stipu-
lated salary, the receiver will be paid fees
for his services.
In the receivership case of s.
Mayer & Ullman. an order was is
sued requiring the receiver to pay into
court all amounts now in his hands.
In the case of the Brunswick Terminal
Company vs.. the Brunswick State Bank,
the court allowed the Terminal company
$4,000 net as depositors. and instructed the
receiver to pay such amount to the COM
pany.
one of the most important decisions, af-
fecting the interests of every tax payer
of Glynn, as well as the creditors of the
Brunswick State Bank was a ruling that
the bank was not liable for city taxes
since its doors were closed. The ruling
was made in answer to a petition from
Attorneys Crovatt and Whitfield, for the
city of Brunswick. praying that an order
be granted compelling the receiver to pay
such taxes. and their motion was argued
against with the above named result, by
Attorney w. z. Ray, for the receiver
people to-day at Blackshear, and to-mor-
row will speak at Douglas. Before leav-
ing he expressed himself freely in regard
to the democratic outlook in the Eleventh
district. He believes that the majority
this year over the populist fusion ticket
will be greater than at the last election
and assigns satisfactory reasons for his
belief
On the stump Mr.. Brantley is doing the
hardest political work OF his life, making
four and five speeches a week, travelling
night and day via railroads and across
country by team.
Unsuccessful efforts were made yester-
day before Judge Sweat to have Mr.. e
Briesenick. an old citizen and member of
a large ship foundry and manufacturing
concern, placed in jail for failure to pay
alimony TO his divorced wife. A verdict
in favor of Elsie Briesenick for 81, 500 an
mony was granted some time ago, and
was later affirmed by the supreme court.
but the defendant never paid the amount
over. The. petition of the attorneys for
the plaintiff yesterday was to have the
defendant pay over the alimony or be sent
TO Jail. Judge Sweat refused to do this,
and ordered the case to be tried before a
jury at the December term of the superior
court, giving bond for 5000 for his ap-
pearance. The defendant claims he is
not worth $500, hence his failure to
pay up.

The lumber business is deplorably dull.
The spirited eastern demand thirty days
ago has subsidized considerably, and the
western demand is nat. Western inquir-
ers are confined almost entirely TO rail-
road orders, and those are quite limited.
Rib flooring inquiries are plentiful, and
all mills are well supplied with orders
ahead. This grade of lumber is as sala-
Bile as cotton or naval stores, and the
prices hold firm, not being a speculative
article.
Your correspondent has recently visited
several farms, and estimates that cotton
is at least 80 per cent. off from the pros
poets six weeks ago. The harvest will be
much earlier completed this season.

strong Letter by the Plant System
Employees.
The paper which has been circulated at
the shops and offices of the Plant system
attacking the American Railway Union.
and its president. Eugene Debs in strong
terms, has received about 100 signatures
1t is in the shape of letter to the off,

American Railway Union, published July
3. last.
The reply asserts that to comply with
the propositions Of this circular letter.
would be repngnant to the sense of de-
cency and honesty of the signers. and
would make them deceivers of their EN-.
ployers. We are asked to surrender our
money and every manly instinct says the
reply, our honor and our self-respect. in
order TO maintain the American Railwav
Union. We consider this organization a
money-making scheme for Mr. Debs. We
wish to advise the officials of the Ameri~
can Railway Union, that this is no mis-.
sionary ground for that order"
1t has been rumored for several days that
many of the employees of the Plant sys-
tenn were signing this letter with the
knowledge that a refusal to do so would
be equivalent to discharge. This may not
be correct, but ii is the view taken by
some of the employees in discussing the
matter.
About three months ago the officers Of
the local branch Of the American Railway
Union in the employ of the Plant system
were discharged and all the members of
the union were required to present evil
dence by certain date that they had sew
cred their connection with the order or be
discharged.

weeks have elapsed and nothing has been
done toward starting the enterprise.
A few days ago the union printers
marched out of the Chronicle composing
room and job Office because of some dis
agreement with the management, and
the presence of these idle printers has
