Mr.. Baxter Taylor,
Clarkson, Tenn,


Dear Sir:-I have just found among
my letters your favor of March 81, press
of business having compelled me to
neglect my mail. | think that it is
always necessary to agitate question
until it is settled. Our main work now
is pointing out the effects of the gold
standard in order that those who ex-
pected prosperity under republican rule
will see that their expectations were
not fulfilled. l suggest that you pre-
pare yourself by reading such literature
as will enable you to understand the
principles and details of the subject,
and then take advantage of such oppor-
tunities as may present themselves for
placing the question before the people.
You can in private conversation also
point out the advantages of bimetallism.
There ought to be democratic or
bimetallic society in your state from
which literature could be circulated
among those who are opposed to it.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) w. j. BRYAN.

Barcelona Mob Could Not Endure
the Sight Of Our
Flag.
OUR CONSUL COMPLETELY COWED.
Captain Of an American Vessel Forced to
Hide Freedoms Emblem While in
Port.

New York, Dec. ga special to the
Journal and Advertiser, from New
Haven, Conn, says:
capt. George N. Kelsey, of the
schooner Wallace Ward, which has
just arrived here from Barcelona,
Spain, insists that the American con-
sui at that port fears mob violence,
and is unable to keep the American
flag flying on Uncle Sans vessels. He
put into port there September IS, re-
naming three days, At first the stars
and stripes hoated from the masthead,
but Spanish loiterers, attracted by it,
gathered by the side of the vessel and
threatened violence. The American
consul heard rumOr that the crowd
purpOsed burning the vessel, and he
sent word to Captain Kelsey to haul
down the flag. Captain Kelsey defied
the Spaniards, but next day the consul
repeated his advice and Captain
Kelsey was reluctantly persuaded to
store the stars and stripes below decks
during the remainder Of his stay"

OTHER BANKS SOLID.
Large Amounts Received By National and
Savings and Trust.


Savings and Trust,
Last nights express brought to the
city $4,000 In cash for the National
Bank of Brunswick and $4,000 in
cash for the Brunswick Savings and
Trust company. These two iustltu-
tions are not affected by the failure of
the Merchants and Traders bank.
Vice. President F. d. Aiken, of the
Savings and Trust company, said
to reporter last night:
"The Savings and Trust Co, has
stood ready and willing to give the
Merchants and Traders bank all the
aid in our power, to avert the closing
of its doors. No disposition has been
shown, however, to keep the banks
affairs out of the courts. A receiver
ship appears to be the only wind up
VI lue LudICeE lie course OF Lne Sa-
wings and Trust company has been
actuated entirely by patriotic motives.
Our bank Will probably remain open
urtil 6p. m. tomorrow, in case any
one is uneasy"
Vice President f. H. Mason, of the
National bank, said that the National
had been willing to help all efforts to-
ward liquidation, but at the meeting
in the morning, the efforts had proven
futile, and receivership YVES the log
ical result.
The banks will, of course, not lose
the $4,000 taken by Express Agent
Mabry, as that is a matter entirely
between the Savannah shippers and
the express company.

Make Remarkable Claim That Over
Five Hundred Voted
Illegally.
qHE RICHEST JOKE OF THEM ALL.
The Official Vote, According TO 600 Goo
Estimate-JOe Abrams Got Only 13.
Supremely Silly.

The hugest joke of the entire munic-
ipsl political agitation is furnished
by the notices of contest which have
been served by the "Good Govern.
ment" club on the four aldermen elect.
These notices were served late Tues
day night, after the certificates of
election had been issued to Messrs /.
Tupper, Briesenck, Abrams and
Douglass.
To say that the claims made in the
notices are absurd is to indulge in the
mildest possible characterization. For
extravaganza of claim and superlative
"gall" the 5000 Goo" grounds of con-
test take the prize.
The notices contain list of 532
voters, all of whom are claimed to be
Illegal. The more astounding claim
is made that the only legal votes re-
ceived by the winning candidates
were as follows:
W. M. Tupper Observation-Disclosures. 43
r Briesenlck. ......... IS
K. V. Douglass. Observation-Disclosures. 30
j C.. B. Abrams. l3
In other words, 532 of those who
voted the administration ticket did SO
illegally; aud, in still other words,
that 532 of the registered voters
Brunswick are guilty of q wrongful
act, in violation of the laws of their
state and nation. Such sCatemen
wouldn't be believed by any sane per
son in the United States.
The notice also states that the hear
ing of the contest will begin January
at 10 a. m.,. before Ordinary Dart.
The time fixed by law for swearing in
the new aldermen is January 3, at
noon.
On the list of the alleged Illegal vo-
ters are some of the very best and
most conscientious citizens Of Bruns-
wick.
The 600 Coos" have perpetrated
colossal "blu1f" on the people, which,
If brought to the test of legal proof,
would be found to be so udicrously
silly that it wouldn't even cause
laughter.

An Occurrence That Shocked
Brunswick Beyond Measure
Yesterday.
PACKAGES FOR BANKS MISSING.
The Agent Disappears, Leaving a Pathetic
Letter to His Wife, COnfsssing His
Shortage.

Brunswick was shocked beyond all
attempts at description yesterday
morning, when 1t was discovered that
Mr.. P. H Mabry, agent for the South
ern Express company at this city, had
disappeared.
The subsequent disclosures show
that three packages of money con-
tanning, in all, l4,5OO, had also dis
appeared.
Soon after the discovery that Mr.
Mabry was missing, letter, written
to his wife, was found, confessing to
the taking of $4,000.
There are no clews as to the present
whereabouts of the missing agent.
The story of the defalcatlon is one
that is full of pathetic features. A
man. considered universally as of the
highest grade of character, and, who,
during twelve years. connection with
the Southern Express company and
two years. residence in Brunswick,
has evidenced thorough reliability and
high moral character, driven to des-
peration by repeated shortages which
6nnth Nv of ho
ment of his abandonment of all he
held dear, confronted with a supreme
temptation and yielding to it, furn-
ishes a moral lesson that is most
powerful.
The story of the regrettable occur
renee is as follows:
HE ACTED QUEERLY.
Mr.. Mabry, on Tuesday night, did
many things that were unprecedented
and decidedly out of the channel of
his customary conduct. He excused
the express messenger whose duty 1t
is to meet the II p. m. train, and met
the train himself, receiving the pack
ages that came. He went to his home
inEthe Nicholson building, Gloucester
street, and surprised his wife by bav-
ing grip in his possession. He told
her that it belonged to some one else.
He did not sleep in his room, but RS
tired to an other apartment, caneirg
Mrs Mabry to suspect that something
was wrong.
HIS DEPARTURE.
AT O'Clock yesterday morning, Mr.
Mabry went into his wife's room awak-
ening her, and taking pair Of shoes
and hat care you going away?"
asked Mrs. Mabry. "No, will return
in few minutes" was the reply. He
then returned to the other room.
Ten minutes later, Mrs. Mabry
buC UdCk OOOE bidu 0HG Fau
out, and met the servant who Was
coming In. The servant informed her
that Mr.. Mabry had Just gone ouc,
with grip in his hand. He went TO-
ward Monk street.
The lady was very much perturbed.
She thought her husband was not hi m
self.
THE CONFESSION FOUND,
Mrs. Mabry was surprised to find
that both of her husbands suits of
clothing were in the house. "He had
but two," she said.
In pocket of her husbands suit,
the lady found letter, addressed to
her, that explained all, and that
crushed her, with its relations, under
the force of cruel weight of woe. The
letter was written on the Southern
Express company's letterhesd, cover
ing three pages.
10 this letter Mr.. Mabry stated 81

books, knowing that our route agent
