The County Committee Chanmanship

The County Committee Guardianship.
AS the time approaches when parties be-
gin to marshal their forces for the biennial
campaign, would it not be we'll to haye the
chairman of our county committee-.so called
resign his commission, so that we may
elect resident chairman. One of us and
for us also, and not one who works on eth
er side of the political fence.
The acting chairman of our county CON-
mittee. as we understand, has made all
there is-if anything-out of the party
patronage, and is now engaged in drawing
sustenance out of the public treasury at
Washington, by the grace of Senator Nc
MILAN. He should therefore voluntary re-
sign and allow the republicans of this coun-
ty to elect chairman who is in touch with
the entire party, and not with any ring on
faction, If any such exists.
Certain it is, that by some unskilled
maneuvering the party derelict here, is
floating around in such,a condition that 1t is
liable to be completely submerged in the
coming contest by the dead weights and
barnacles hanging to it, or like the historic
girl in the coasting party, whose
Swift gliding sleigh careened,
And with tresses fair,
Streaming back on the air.
Sweet Sillie went eend over eend."

Every business House I'm Brunswick, Ga,
HAS Five Feet of water Around It
Great Damage Elsewhere.

Brunswick, Ga, Oc'. %--During tho
tropical hurricane Of Sunday, n tidal
wave was driven In from the sea and
inundated. for IN average depth OF five
feet, practically every business house
and warehouse In the city. Conserva-
tive estimates place the property loss
Mt s50U, 900, though when the details
are ell In the figures may be consider
ably shaded either way. The Mallory
steamship and South railroad docks
were under water four feet In the
residence section OF the city, the water
was from two to light feet deep. There
was q full sweep Of wind aud water
from the ocean into and across the
city. Two fatalities in Brunswick and
one few miles out Of the city have
been reported. Those in the city
were negro children. Their parents
are missing and may have been
drowned. A few miles out OF town,
Steritt Aiken, colorcd, was killed by
falling bricks blown from chimney.
Meager reports from the Sea islands,
on the coast, are far from reassuring.
At Jekyl island, where the club houses
Of New York millionaires are situated,
much damage has been done. Dix
Vile, suburb OF brunswick, inhabited
by negroes, was inundated and the de-
struction is almost complete. No olives
were lost there. Five vessels ara
ashore in Brunswick harbor, two be-
ing the Norwegian barks Record and
Lopise, one IN American schooner and
two valuable pilot boats. On the
docks are hundreds of thousands OF
feet Of lumber and cross ties and
naval stores which will be washed
away. Nearly all the docks suffered
from lifting. While the water was do
ing its damage underneath the wind
was playing havoc overhead.
Several fronts Of brick buildings
were blown partly out and the rain
poured through in torrents Every
church In the city was damaged either
by water or wind. All electric wires
were Frustrated. Fires In locomotives
in and near the city were put out by
the driving sheets of water. The loss
to railroads has been considerable
from washing of tracks and injury to

brought North.

Ponce, Porto Rico, Oct. At Is the
well-grounded and almost unanimous
opinion Of the medical staff of the
American army in Porto Rico that the
condition of the volunteer forces here
necessitate their removal north. Sick
ness is increasing and has been in
creasing during the past three weeks ut
IN alarming rate. Yesterday the sick
report showed over 9, 700 in hospitals, or
in quarters, out OF total command OF
10, 900 men; that is, over 25 per cent
OF the troops are on the sick list
This, however, does not mean that
there Is an effective strength OF
1900 men. The soldiers discharged
from the hospitals rs ct for duty are
in nine cases out OF ten incapable OF

GERS have found that the convalescents
do not, and seemingly cannot, recover
their strength in this climate, and for
this reason they IRE being sent north

A Wichita dispatch said Grace
Barnes, aged four years, fell from q
Rock Island train near Pratt while II
was going 80 miles an hour. The child
was sitting by her mother, leaning
out of an, open car window. The
mother paid no attention to her and
when the train reached Pratt little
Grace was missing. Mrs Barnes told
the conductor, who backed the train
about two miles and found the child
lying in high grass where II had fallen
uninjured.
