Brunswick, Ga, Jan. l5.-The drug snug
gers who have been under surveillance
by the United States government for some
time are now operating in this section of
Georgia. Special Agent of the Treasury
Department w. H. Thornton, now here
has seized quantity of these drugs, but
no arrests of Brunswick druggists have
yet been made because of their apparent
innocent of any attempt at connivance to
defraud the government of duties. The
smuggling scheme is worked by Radcliffe
Moore & Co., with headquarters at To-
ronto, Canada.
Since the arrests in Upper Georgia some
weeks ago they have changed their name
and address somewhat, and are now send
ing out circulars equally as enticing and
as deceptive to the druggist under anoth-
er name. The firm sells mostly coal tar
preparations, mostly German drugs of
varieties such as anu-Kamnia, salol, and
phenascetine. Heavy duties are impos-
ed on such products, which run the price
up to about $1.O0 per ounce. The SNUG
Cling firm sells it at about 35c an ounce
The firms circulars, under another guise
than formerly employed, have been picked
up by special treasury department men,
and they are hot on the trail of their new
location.

Brunswick shippers take issue with Sa-
vannah shippers on a statement furnished
the Morning News regarding large cargoes
of cotton. Savannah shippers claim that
the British steamship RAMA, drawing
2l10, carried 200 bales of cotton. the larg-
est cargo ever shipped from an Atlantic
port, and with one exception the largest
cotton cargo ever shipped from any port
in the United States. Brunswick's custom
house and shippers record produces a
statement at variance with this. On Jan.
4, 1897, after being in port for % days load
ing for A. F. Churchill, the British steam
ship Maroa, Adams master, 4.451 tons reg
ister sailed for Liverpool drawing 22.3and
carrying the following cargo: 1888 bales
of cotton, making 400 tons or 9,494 no
pounds weight, $50 tens cotton seed 1850
tons pig iron. Total cargo in tons $780,

this district. Capt. Gillette writes that
The required thirty days notice has been
given the Mabey owner and until that time
expires the government cannot take
charge. In the meantime, the CITY ID paV-

blocked in such way as to impede navi-
cation.
