A NEW REPORTER.

A Change Made IN the Staff Of tho Brunswick
Circuit Superior Cou-:;.
A change has been in the personnel
of the staff of the Judge of the supe-
rior court of the Brunswick circuit
which is of interest to the lawyers and
the public generally.
Mr.. Watkins Holmes, who has been
serving as official court stenographe
since the resignation of Col. w. M.
Toomer, has retired from the position.
In his stead Judge Sweat has APP
pointed Mr.. Lee Sweat, his son, with
Mr.. Feed, of Waycross, as assistant.
Mr.. Reed is now out on the circuit
with Judge Sweat, and the two young
gentlemen will probably handle the
duties of the important office jointly.

The Last Day.

Sunday was, properly speaking, the
last day of the island season. There
were good crowds from the interior to
wander for the last time by the sea-
shore until another summer comes.
Many Brunswickians also spent the
day at st. Simon or Cumberland. The
boats will run no more on Sundays
until next season. The Pope Catlin
will be finally taken off the line for
the season on Tuesday.

Macon, Griffin and Augusta have

perhaps, be the best convention in the
history of the organization.
Atlanta applied for the convention,

The Daisy is one of the neatest and

make her. The brasswork is polished
brightly, and the cabin is as neat as

WHAT'S IN THE CASE?

ma L . IN fAE GA6E
Given the disappearance of Bailey,
the queer story Of his companions
with whom he was last seen, the ST.
lence of these same men when they
met Manager Smith Sunday night,
their failure to account for the We
men in the case, the conflicting state
ments, the contradictions of the hack
man and the finding of the missing
mans coat in the room occupied by
his companions, there Is certainly
something in this more tina natnral
if philosophy could find it out"
WHO BAILEY WAS.
Charlie Bailey belonged to one of
the Oldest and most prominent fami-
lies in Waycross. His father, Hon.
W. S. Barley, served as treasurer of
Ware county number of years prior
to his death. He was one of the first
to settle in Waycross. The missing
man was the brother of Capt. j. S.
Bailey, the lumber and railroad man;
DR.. L. A. Bailey. and Mrs. j. A. Lott
and W. T. Lott, of Waycross. He was
rs years old and had a wife and two
children. 1t is understood that he
carried $4,000 life insurance.
Mr.. Lott said last night: at is not
for me to take the initiative in solving
this mystery. l am simply here to
find out all | can. J. S. Bailey, broth
er of Charlie, will take such action as
is necessary with the two fellows who
reached Waycross tonight"
ONCE LIVED HERE.
w. N. Jones, the main character in
the case, lived in Brunswick several
years ago, and was employed as a
butcher by G. Arnheiter. He is now
conducting butchers shop in Way
cross.
Frank Bailey, the "other young
man." is, according to Mr.. Lott, the
son of Charlie Bailey's uncle.
Both are married and have families
in Waycross.
The ends of justice seem to demand
that these men be held until thor
ough investigation is had.

somebody was to be avoided, that due k
shooting subtsrfuge was convenient TO a
degree. Mr.. Bryan goes cut to shoot
ducks after the second collapse OF his
lecture tour. and having once acquired
the habit it will be a very easy matter
hereafter to slide out OF embarrassing
situations by chasing ducks. 1t is said
that no man Of destiny ever shot ducks.
Napoleon did not know duck from a
michele, and the other men who have
played the destiny role wero better at
shooting their fellow men than they
were at bringing down durks. So Mr..
Bryan in his chosen part of man Of

does not seem in accord with Mr.. Bry.

the only really trivial thing he has ever
done. Heretofore tie job OF holding up

his atlas shoulders could stand, and he

The Trans Mississippi exposition is
beginning to attract attention in the
east. Every man who comes from Ne.
braska, or Omaha particularly, has a
story to tell Of the wonderful glories of
the big chow that is to tie, and these
stories find their way into print, and the
sao~ is advertised. 1t is not noticeable
that people who come to New York
from Lincoln are wildly enthusiastic
over the exposition. Why is this? Is
il because OF the lack OF representatives
in the management? Surely Lincoln
has received this sort OF treatment from
Omaha for 30 long that she ought to be
used to it by this time. 1t cannot be
that anybody in Lincoln hoped to have

Random Notes.

ment that his nomination for the presi.
dency was the first instance where this
recognition had been bestowed on any
one in the Trans Missouri country, and
was promising 30 much for the west in
case he was elected. he succeeded in
arousing considerable interest and en-
thusiasm among the people Of the west.
Visions OF government salaries fioated
before the gaze OF western free silverites
and hopes were entertained that in the
event of Mr.. Bryan's election the west
would at last get q president who would
give that great section its just due. But
Major Mckinley, who made no PROMISE
has undoubtedly gone farther in the
recognition Of the west than Mr.. Bryan
would have done. Thus far he has ex-
hibited an unprecedented consideration
for this ambitious section OF the coun-
try. 1t is singular fact that at this
writing every Office that has been prom.
ised. from secretary OF state to door
keeper OF the White House, has been
allotted TO the west. The east is just
beginning to realize that it has thus far
got nothing, and is likely to receive but
little, and rs might be expected, under
the circumstances, something OF pro-
test is going up.
There was a hope. ut first. that Tom
Reed Of Maine might be appointed sec
Rotary Of state. When that was seen to
be impossible the anti Plat republicans
in New York brought out Whitelaw Reid.
There was such lusty howl from the
machine that the candidacy OF the New
York editor was not pushed, and then
the east gave up all hope OF getting the
secretary OF state. This portfolio out OF
reach the east began t. look out for the
treasury appointment. Cornelius n.
Bliss 1t New York. was the only man
who could b. found who was acceptable
to both factions in that state. ard Mr..
Bliss was offered the place. To the sur
prise Of everybody. he declined. Then
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich OF Rhode
Island was talked OF for the treasury.
He would not listen to it ard so all hope
OF keeping this Office in the east was
given up. The east had candidates for
secretary Of war and secretary Of agri-
culture. but ii was compelled to take a
back seat for Michigan and Iowa. The
east had not brought out a candidate
for comptroller Of the currency. because
it was not thought that that appoint
ment would be made for some time. But
along comes G. G. Dawes and takes that
in. So it :onks, just now, as il the west
were getting not only its share, but
everything. Surely the west will be in
it with the coming administration.
Since Mr.. Bryan entered national
politics he has suddenly manifested
sporting tendency. the symptoms are
the same Is we're observable in the
early stages Of Mr.. Clevelandis greater
career that commenced after he was
governor of New York. Whether the
case viii develop into anything like the
chronic Cleveland complaint it is diff
cult to say; but it may. Mr.. Cleveland
has found his sporting mania a handy
thing to have about the house. When Q

Harrison of Alabama today read his re-
port to the committee IN Pacific roads

governments relations with the Pacific

manner before congress that intelligent
action can be taken.
The report concludes:
Foreclosure proceedings are pending
against the Union Pacific. and this road
is likely to be sold and the governments
claim disposed of before action can he
taken by congress. If this action is
taken this great road will have passed
into other hands without preservation to

STOCK REVIEW

New York, Feb. 11.-Bradstrcet' re-
view of the Stock Exchange will on Sat
urday say:
No difficulty could be found in deScrib-
ing the course of the weeks market. The
activity was entirely professional and
took the tenor of Il bear movement in the
industrials. The coal stocks were also
unsteady under the same kind of press
ure, but the general railway share list
was firm and at intervals showed more
or less strength, while the bond market
held very well and had symptoms of pub
lie and foreign buying i'll II number of
speculative issues.
The principal incidents of the week
were connected with the investigation of
industrial stocks and monopolics by a
committee of the New York legislature,
causing Il stop to the buying and led to
liquidation- of speculative issues. This
extended to the general list. but the bond
strength in face of the general reduction
in industrials, was Il subject of general
remark. European buying was noted i'll
II certain class of bonds, particularly
Atchisons and Northern Pacific. The
market is bare of really high grade in
vestments and this, with the high prices
they command. has turned the inquiry
towards the more speculative class. Eu-
rope did nothing on the lower stocks
Speculation in London has been dull on
fears of complications in the east. The
weakness in coal issues was the result
of the general unsatisfactory condition of
