After Seeing Charlottes Courthouse
They Again Amend the
Plans.
OUR STRUCTURE WILL BE SMALLER
But the New Arrangement Will Give Larger
Superior Court Room and Better Ven
tilatiOn and Costs Less.

The plans of GIynn's new court
house have again been altered.
County Commissioners J. S. Wright,
E. F. COney and II. Fl. Harvey spent
Monday in Charlotte, N. c., the home
of Architect Frank p. Milburn, who
was selected to draw the plans for the
courthouse. Mr.. Milburn planned the
courthouse at Charlotte, much on the
same style as that proposed sfor the
Brunswick structure. The commits
sioners wished to see this building,
IN order that they might Judge. from
the evidence of their own eyes, the re-
quirements of GlyHn county in that
line.
Commissioners Wright and Harvey
returned home yesterday. Commits
sioner Harvey was seen by a TIMES
man. He said
"After carefully inspecting the
Charlotte courthouse, we gave Mr..
Milburn instructions to amend his
plans. The change ordered is a con-
siderable one. In the first place, the
cost of the building, under the
amended plans, will be less, and the
structure Will be smaller-93 feet in
length instead of 120, as originally in
tended.
"By arrangement of the second
floor, the superior courtroom Will be
considerably larger than in the orig
inally accepted plans, and the ventila-
tiOn will be much improved"
The amended plans will be forwarded
by Architect Mlburn as soon as he
completes them, and will be finally
passed on by the commissioners.
The result of the changes, the COM
mIssiOners think, Will be a cheaper
and at the same time prettler and
more conveniently arranged court
house.

Doubtful If Another Levee Can Be
Built Around the Dan
ger Spots.
GREAT DANGER FROM BACKWATER.
A Box Levee Gives Way-Ths Situation is
Distressing to all of the
Citizens.

New Orleans, May 11.-With a
slightly falling IN the river and fine
weather, the levee excitement is
greater than at any previous time.
The Baton Rouge break at Burton
lumber mills, naturally holds first
place The break this morning will
make 1t doubtful if a levee can be
built around the danger spots, or
whether the whole upper portion of
the Pontchartain line running from
Baton Rouge to New Orleans will be
endangered by back water. The lat
est news from the break in the Bur-
ton levee received at 10 o'clock this
morning, shows large force of men
at work there and the hope is enter
tanned by these on the spot that the
flow of water will be checked before
night.
Another sensation WIS caused by
the partial failure of the new work on
the site of the old DAVIS island ere
vaHse on account of the box levee built
by the railroads and the planters Civ
ing way. The work will be started
this morning with 500 men and the
struggle will be interesting. The sit
uation IN Bayou la Fourche, where
many rich sugar plantations are situ-
ated, has also grown more critical and
after today no more steamboats, will
be allowed to enter the stream until
the water subsidies.

SAILORS WHO STOLE.
They Went Off With the Quarantine Boat
At SapelO.

DIR. j "A. Nydegger, surgeon in charge
of the United States quarantine station
at Sapelo, came over to the city yestey-
day, bringing with him three white
sailors, who are charged with making
away with government property.
The three men, who were on ves-
sci held at the Sapelo station, decided
one night to leave the ship and go
ashore, where they could disport them
selves at will. They lacked, however,
the means of transportation to Darien
and made good the discrepancy by
taking one of the quarantine boats.
With this they went to Darien and
proceeded to have good time.
The authorities at the quarantine
station instituted search and the
men were arrested in Darlen ana
brought to the city by DR.. Nydegger.
Deputy United States Marshal E. F.
ray flor took charge of the men and
they are in Jail TO await the action of
the United States courts.

BELL COMPANY'S VICTORY.
Will it Shut Brunswick Out From the Ad
vantage of Competition?

Will the supreme court declsior, in
favor Of the Bell Telephone companA's
patent, put stop to the operations of
the Waycross and Valdosta lines,
both of which are now being extended
to Brunswick?
The matter is an interesting one to
discussed
TIE Berliner patent, issued in 1891,
covers all forms of microphone trans
mitters using variable contact,
which covers all forms of commercial
transmitters. This decision will re-
suit in the closing OF all opposition
exchanges over the country that are
now using any form of carbon trans
mitters, and virtually gives the Bell
company the telephone business for
number OF years.
The Valdosta line, from ValdOsfa to
Waycross, and in adjoining towns,
comprises an important system IN
Southern Georgia, says the Savannah
News. There are opposition systems
to the Bell telephone all over the
south. The rice of telephone service
has been greatly reduced in all places
where opposition lines were IN opera
tion and the removal of the oppOsi-
tion will naturally tend to lessen the
likelihood of any further reduction
with a probability rather of an in
crease in rates where the price has
been lowered by competition.
There will in all probability be
fight before the opposition lines are
abandoned,

by affirming that there is much in this
world which is theoretically right, which
If carried out would not materially
benefit mankind. 1t is not q ques
ton of theoretically right or wrong.
The present system is inherently
wrong, as the Monitor admits. 1t is
not only based upon no recognized
principle of representative government;
1t is abhorrent to the very principle up
on which government of the people
must rest.
The Messenger does not care to dis
cuss the re lative influence of individu-
ais from the smaller and the larger
towns. 1t is convinced that much
wholesome legislation was defeaed
and some bad legislation enacted
by the votes of representatives from
towns aggregating much less than a
majority of the population of the state.
Against combination OF the smaller
towns ability is neither a working nor
voting power. And because such
combinations have been made and can
be made to the detriment of the State
the Messenger is still Of opinion the
claim of the Monitor in this direction
is without the slightest force. The
Messenger parts company with it's Bar
ton contemporary in the lstter's con.
tention that the representatives from
the smaller towns monopolize the in
tegrity Of every legislature" This
paper does not believe the representa-
tives from the smaller towns are more
honest, more solicitous for the good Of
the State, less afflicted with schemes fol
furthering measures which may or may
not be beneficial to the State, less amen
able to corporate influence, than theil
colleagues from the cities and larger
towns. The present system is neither
made up of nor based upon Vermont
men. 1t is made up OF and based upor
Vermont dirt. 1t is representation o.
Vermont town lines, not of Vernon
citizens. If the Monitor is convinced
that given law is wrong in principle
and ubiquitous in practice, would i
hesitate to condemn it because it is the
creation of Vermont Legislature?
Finally. You cannot make a repre-
sentative government based upon ar
unrepresentative system of government
The rule of the few can never take the
place of the rule of the majority under
a democracy. Area can never sup
plant citizenship in a republic, one
citizen can never usurp the functiont
of the two, ten, twenty, or two hundred
other citizens without endangering the
foundations of representative govern
ment. And if the Messenger is right in
these contentious, no claim of antiqui'
ty, no sophlsm, no argument about
letting well enough alone, no devotion
to old fogyism, can successfully
challenge its position. Nothing is
"well enough" in this world that i;
based upon injustice.

In other words, there were three and
thirty -one one hundredths times as many
shipments received in 1896 as in 1884, and the
number of shipments have nearly doubled
in the past two years.
Confess for arguments sake that Gov.
Pages close attention to business, his ex-
cellent business methods and his system Of
so subdvidir g his stock as to give every
tanner the exact speciality required for his
production. are responsible for the larger
part of this increase, and yet we believe
every candid man will confess that there is
a large margin to be otherwise accounted
for to provide for this wonderful growth.
A pound Of fact is worth ton of theory,
and the facts are that no other man in the
hide trade pays as much, and we presume
not one-tenth as much, for printers ink as
Mr.. Page, and when we combine that qui a.
tetie of progressive P's-Pusb, Pluck, Per-
sistency Printers ink and Page-the re-
suits are easily accounted for.
Moral; DO not hide your light under a
bushel. Be enterprising. Let the world
know what you are doing. Patronize the
printer. 1t pays.
