reference to the condition of public
education in Glynn county, TINES
man called on President Edwin Brob-
ston, of the county board of educa-
tion, lOr an interview IN regard 10 the
schools. how they are working, what
they need and their future prospects.
The schools?" said President Brob-
ston. "There you touch a subject that
should be dear to the heart of every
true man. We have had difficulties
upon difficulties to contend against in
providing free education for the child
ren Of Glynn county, and only the
most persistent efforts have enabled
the present and past boards to make
any sort of showing at all in this di-
rectlon. | am deeply thankful to say,
however, that the schools are now
working fully as well as they ever
were, and that nearly ell of the imme-
diate obstacles in the pathway Of the
board have been removed.
"We have recently secured valu-
able member Of the board of education
in Judge Sam Atkinson. The Judge
was 10th to accept, pleading the pres
sure Of private business; but he was
persuaded, and promises to be a tower
OF strength and of inestimable assist
ance in keeping the schools going.
"The adoption of the vertical sys-
tenn of handwriting at the last meeting
of the board was another step forward. i.
The vertical system has supplanted
the old slanting system in nearly all
of the schools Of the country. 1t has
much to commend it, and one who
studies the method of instruction can
not fail to acknowledge that it is, far
and away, superior to any system pre-
Yiously used.
At the last meeting of the board, q
committee was employed to make a
contract for the Claxton charts--one
of the most perfect and complete sys-
TENS for juvenile education yet in
vented. These charts can also be
studied with profit by older people,
and, when they are introduced in the
schools, it will be found that the facil.
itIes of the preparatory departments
have been increased a hundred fold.
"The board is especially fortunate

Brunswick Must Invite the River And Harbor Committee
THE COLLECTORsHIP.
The Race Settled For First Place, Practically,
But Uncertainty About COMPROMISE.

The Race Settled For First Place, Practically,
But Uncertainty About Compromise.
The fight for the collectorshIp of the
port of Brunswick, worth about $4,000
per year, is still on, although it ls
practically settled, so far as such
matters can be settled before the sp-
polntment, that Col. H. T. Dunn will
be named for the place.
There is an element Of uncertainty
that seems to hang about the race,
however, and this uncertainty is
furnished by the facts of the hurried
departure of Eugene Belcher for
Washington, and the further fact that
his arrival on the scene has evidently
delayed the appointment.
Reports from Washington, while
conceding to Col. II. T. Dunn the COL
leotor's place, intimate that there will
be some sort of compromise with the
colored element, whereby Belcher will
get the deputy collectorship. This
intimatIon is not credited generally by
Col. Dunn's friends here, as they do
not think the president would hamper
Col, Dunn in his administration by
giving the deputy's place to negro,
and to an unpopular one at that.
Walter Johnson, who is the nominal
"boss" in Republican politics in
Georgia now, has returned to Macon
from Washington, ami states that he
has the absolute promise of the powers
that be to appoint Col, Dunn. The
issue OF Belcher's paper of yesterday
says that Belcher will either get the
appointment or will force cOmpr0-
mise giving his committee the disposal
of all the subordinate positions in the
custom house.
Mr.. r. r. Hopkins, who has been
generally considered as an applicant
for the c0llectorship, asked yesterday
that the statement be made that he
has never filed an application, and Is
in no sense candidate.

On Many Hard Fought Fields,
They've Won Drill
Prizes Rare.
ARE GOING 10 INDIANAPOLIS.
Brunswick Should Help the Division as 1t
Is Sure to Do Credit to
the City.

Whenever the OGlethorpe Division,
Uniform Rank, knights Of Pythias, of
Brunswick, goes out into the world for
conquests, it is matter Of unim-
peached history that it's never comes
back home empty handed,
The Oglethorpe Division has victor
les to its credit that, taking into con-
sideration the day and the time, out
rank the brilliant iOusts of Launcelot
and hiS peerless compatriots Of the
Table Round.
AS prize winner, the division has
not an equal among the similar organ
izatIOns of the country. This fact is
one OF Brnnswick's proudest boasts,
and stands the test of proof in every
instance. The Knights cannot be
beaten. They are all right.
Today, with the record of capturing
every prize III sight at Savannah last
yesr, the OglethOrpe division stands
the undisputed champion of Georgia.
But the knights are not yet satisfied.
They sigh for wider fields to conquer.
rbey intend to enter the Interstate
contest at Indianapolis this summer,
and see what they can do toward VIM
nlng national championship.
Brunswick has received the best sort
Of advertising from her knights,
wherever they have gone, either on
pleasure or prize winning bent. The
city which sends forth such perfect
corps of crack drilled men necessarily
receives liberal and valuable advertis-
ing. This is the reason why Bruins
wick owes a debt to the knights, and
why Brunswick should respond when
ever the knights call.
Now, the Oglethorpes are about to
make call on the patriotism of the
people, They want to go to Indian
aP9lis. They need money for the trip.
To raise this money, and insure the
trip, they have announced a fair,
which will be held in this city next
month, after the manner of the other
fairs which have proven such successes
here.
This article is for the purpose OF
calling the attention OF citizens gener.
ally to the pro jeot Ct the Knights, and
OF arousing interest in 1t, When the
Knights go to Indianapolis, and win
prize, as they are certain 70 DO,
BrunswIck will be the beneficiary.
Such winnings are heralded all over
the country. Therefore, help the
fair.
Capt. Tobias Newman, who has
made the Oglethorpe division the best
drill-team in the state, is at the head
OF the fair movement, ably assisted by
the staff officers, Major Haym, Major
Gale, Lieutenant Joerger and Lieuten-
ant Taylor, and the two lieutenants
OF the division, Frank Dunn and w. L.
Winchester. This makes director
ate that IS hard to discourage. The
success of the fair, in such hands, Is
unquestloned,

The United States government has
been sounding the foreign offices Of
the principal governments Of Europe
as to their attitude in the event the
Uuited States felt compelled to inter-

What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get better price for 1t?
Ans-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
YOUR make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
Judgment on them and use only the bet

John Feeney. about fifty years old an
employe of the Capital Traction Com

Railroad yards near the corner of D3l4-
ware Avenue and d Street shortly before

ringing at the time, but this could not
be verified.
The engine struck Feeney, hooking him
down and running over him. The engine
was going at very slow rate of speed

no appreciable jar felt when it struck the
man.
James Smith, an employe of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, was seated in
the signal tower at the time of the acci-
dent and saw the man pass up the track
He also saw the engine going the same
way and after a while noticed the body
lying beside the track. He Immediately
ran to the spot and found that the body
was that of the man he had seen passing
along the tracks a few moments before
He notified the police and the body was
taken to the mOrgue
Coroner Carr was notified Immediately
and will probably view the body this af-
ternoon.
Neither the engineer nor the fireman
knew that the engine had struck anyone
until they were informed of the fact just
as the train was about to pull out of the
depot
Feeney had been in the employ of the
street railroad company for number of
years. and was very highly spoken Of by
his feiIow-laborers.
