Gossip About the Offices in savannah
and Brunswick.


Brunswick Ca, March 15.-Democrats,
especially those known as gold bugs" and
republicans alike. view with interest the
new aspect of things as presented by Col
lector Beckwith's application for reap
pointment. If he puts up a good fight
with fair chances of winning. there will
be others"
The republicans and free silver demo-
Gratis laugh at the hopes of their gold bug
brethren. To them the most the present
democratic incumbents can hope for is a
chance to serve out their full term
In Brunswick there are two offices to be
sought for. Hon. Thomas w. Lamb, coll
lector of customs, holds one. His official
term expires Feb. 3, 1898. There seems to
be no question as to his holding over I'M
I'll that time. Postmaster W. +. Symons
about one year old The only two men
considered 20 have any show for the
Brunswick collectorship, are ex-Postmas-
ter Nc. Brown and Col. Henry T. Dunn.
There is a feeling that the fight for the
Savannah collectorship will result in a
compromise. resulting in Doyle and John
son dividing the offices there between them
and giving DeveauX the Brunswick custom
house again Brunswick republicans
laugh al this idea. They say Deveaux is
out Of this congressional district and does
not want this office anyway. hence Il Is
out of the question to consider such a
trade.
The Cumberland Route and ST. Simons
Transit Company have been consolidated

4 Negro Loses His Life in Trying to
Win "A Wager of rs Cents.
Albany. Ga. March 15.-I4em Weston, a
well-known one-armed and one-legged ne
gro, was drowned in the Flint river yester-
day afternoon about $50 o'clock. Weston,
in company with several white boys, was
at a wash hole when the question of
swimming and swimmers was brought up
Weston offered to wager 70 cents against
rs cents that he could swim across the
river. One of the boys present covered
his money and Weston proceeded to dis
robe for what was to prove his last swim
Several of the boys present tried to dis
suade Weston from the dangerous under
taking, but to no avail. He had a bottle
of whisky in his pocket and after taking
drink or two he plunged in with the re-
mark, Just tell them that you saw me-"
Weston did very wei until about twenty
yards from the bank, when the swift cur
rent began washing him down rapidly. He
was carried over the shoals just below the
Brunswick and Western bridge and dis
appeared for the first time. When he
came up he called loudly for help and
throwing his bands wildly about, sank
TO the bottom.

Sleeping on "A Drunk.

Albany. Ga. March 15-Arthur Monro,
a negro man, about "a years old, was run
over by the incoming passenger train on
the Columbia extension road this morn
ing. Monro, together with two other ne
groes, whose names could not be learned,
filed up on whisky and laid down on the
railroad track to sleep off the effects.
Monro was lying alongside the rail with
his right arm thrown over the rail. When
first seen by Engineer Skinner he thought
the man was a buzzard, but as the train
approached and the object did not move,
he slowed up. When in about fifty yards
of the object, Engineer Skinner saw that
it was a man and applied the brakes. The
pilot of the engine struck the negro On
the head, inflicting two or three wounds,
from either of which death is liable to Ye-
suit. The Negroes right arm was also
crushed.

The prohibition question is still having
all of the interest here. Both the prohis
and the ants are discussing ii in all of
its phases. The lines are tightly drawn,
and both sides are into the fray to win.
The Methodist minister has preached for
the past two Sundays on the subject, and
he announces that next Sunday he will
review the article, published in the Val
dosta Times, over the name of Another
Sober Citizen" The articles have created
widespread comment, and have been, per-
haps, the strongest arguments that have
been advanced against prohibition in the
state Rev. Mr.. Wray will endeavor to
tear them to pieces in his sermon next
Sunday.
