Congressman BrantIey VIII Get
Majority Between 5000 and 10000.
Waycross, Ga, Nov. 6.-The situation in
the Eleventh congressional district as
viewed from Waycross, the most central
point is very complimentary and crafty
ing to the Democrats. Hon. W. G. Brant-
ley, the present congressman, will be elect
ed Tuesday by majority of from 5000 to
10000 votes Every Democrat In the dis
trict ought 10 be at the polls Tuesday and
vote for Brantley. The Populists have been
put on notice by the Republicans that their
votes and influence are not desired, and,
therefore, they wild either vote for Brant-
ley or not vote at all. Many of the Popu-
lists are now outspoken in their support
of Brantley.
To the credit of the management of the
Democratic campaign and the influential
work of the Morning News and other daily
papers of the state and the local press,
the. alarming condition of affairs at the
outset have changed overwhelmingly in
favor of the Democrats. A month or two
ago the Republicans made a big bluff by
talking of fusion with the Populists, and
paying the back taxes of negroes in ar
rears The Democrats regarded the situa-
ton seriously and went to work to save
the district from North Carofnaism.

DEMOCRATS awake.

Democrats Estimate BrantIey's Ma
jOrity Between 1000 and 5000.
Brunswick, Ga, Nov. 6.-The last day
before the congressional election finds the
Eleventh district Democrats wideawake
to the danger of non-activity on Tuesday
next and all the efforts of the leaders are
being directed towards getting out full
vote. Advices received by the Morning
News correspondent tonight indicate that
the district viii go for Congressman
Brantley by from 1000 to 1900. This is
from consolidated estimates furnished by
leaders in the eighteen respective counties
of the district The secret work of the
Republicans and some of the Populists in
the past few weeks has caused the Demo-
Gratis to get a move on themselves and the
result of all quiet work by the opposition
has had the effect of livening up the
Democratic committeeman of every coun-
ty.
1t developed to-day from telegraphfc and
letter inquiries that the Wilkinson speech
in Brunswick Friday night in which he
repudiated Populism and free silver has
had killing effect in many portions of
the district The majority of the Populists
who have heard of that speech, as quoted
in these dispatches at the time, now state
that they have been betrayed into believ-
ing that the Republican fusion candidate
was in sympathy with many of the planks
of their party but the expose of his COM
plete reputation of Populism in a nom
Populist county like Glynn has opened
their eyes and they refuse to go farther
with him.

ORIGINAL STEAM wARsHIP.
First In Our Navy Was Launched
Eighty-four Years Ago.
From The New York sun.

FROM the new 4 Ofk sun.
Washington, Oct. 29.-To-day was the
eighty-fourth anniversary of the launching
of the first steam warship of the navy. 1t
passed unnoticed, and there are few to-
day who are familiar with the history of
that innovation in the navy Only In the
musiy records of the navy department can
there be found mention of the craft.
During the war OF 1872 the United States
navy was making an excellent record at
sea, but the government felt the pressing
necessity of vessels for coast defense. Fin
ally a suggestion by Robert Fulton was
adopted and by special legislation Con-
gress passed an act in the same year au-
thorizing the immediate construction of a
number of floating batteries after a type
submitted TO the navy department by Full
ton. 1t was not until early in 1914 that D
commission was appointed to superntend
the construction of the first of these yes
sells.
The commission was composed of S. L.
Mitchell, Henry Rutgers. Robert Fulton
and Naval Constructor Adam Brown. On
June 20, 1914, The keel of the new vessel
was laid at CorIears Hook on the East
river and oct. % Of the same year the
Demologos, as she was first called, was
launched. 1t was estimated. that the vessel
WOu4u cost @51V,VVDs DuL OWING TO many
notifications an the original plans made
before the work was completed the cost
was somewhat smaller. II was at first in
tended that the Demologos should carry
twenty guns, but this number was In
creased to thirty. She was 1856 feet long, So
feet beam and 20 feet deep. As viewed in
the light of modern times the most pecu-
liar thing about the ship was the situation
of the propellng power. In the center of
the deck there. WAS weil-like opening
straight down TO the water, in which the
single paddlewheef worked AT the last
moment this wei was converted into a
channel seventy feet long and The paddle
wheel was increased to sixteen feet IN di-
ameter. The vessel was propelled by a sin
gle cylinder. The equilibrium Of. the vessel
was preserved by having the cylinder on
one side OF the wheel and the boiler on
the other an the machinery being placed
amidship.
Rapid maneuvering In any direction was
desired by the designer of the pemologos,
and with that end IN view she was pro-
vided with two bowsprits and jibs and
four rudders, two at each end, BY this
arrangement she could be propelled for
ward or backward like ferry boat with
equal ease. Two short, stout masts rose

New FoundIand's Governor and Min
lister of Finance NJ Outs.


st. Johns. N. F., Nov. 6.--There is a
serious cabinet crisis In New Foundland.
Sir Herbert Murray, the Governor. de-
mands the resignation of Mr.. Morine, min
lister of finance. The ostensible reason is
that Mr.. Morine is the general counsel of
Mr.. Reid, the railway contractor but the
real cause is the continued friction be
tween Gov Murray and the minister, Mr.
Morine, in rendering his resignation,
points out that ST. william Whiteway, the
former PREMIER and Messrs- Emerson and
Morris. members of the late cabinet, held
a similar relation to the contractor. and
that Sir Herbert Murray acquiesced in
the arrangement in all three cases. He
reminds the Governor also that he has
been aware ever since April last Of his
(Morines) relation to Mr.. Reid, and in
sists that the Governors omission to in
terfere before stamps his action now as
personal and vindictive.
Ii is feared that complications will arise
wrecking the cabinet and seriously pre-
JUDGING the negotiations regarding the
French treaty shore already under way
before the conference for the settlement
of the disputes between the United States
and Canada.

is it is an indignation meeting to call down
those who have piled this burden on the
people of the south side. 1t seems the
worthless mud thrown on us was not
enough, and the present board has saddled
sidewalk laws on us which win cost the
citizens 100000. It's an easy matter to
spend money, and it seems this board
knows how to do it,
DR.. Falllgant, who IS a large property
owner, said he did not know what Will
be done at the meeting. He thinks the
city should be asked by committee to
give three or four years time in which to
pay for the paving. If an arrangement of
this kind cannot be made, then he is IN
clined to favor enjoining the city from col
lecting the assessments until what the
paving should have cost can be ascertain

TEDDY's GOOD LUCK AMULET.

Through the Campaign.
From the New York Herald.

lOHi TIC 4NtW IOAh ilttdtbs
Among Catholic st. Joseph, having been
the foster father and protector Of the sa-
viour, is regarded as the patron Of the
universal church. He Is the saint through
whose intercession safety from pressing
danger is asked.
To remind the faithful Of this a plous
custom has originated the practice of car

This is coupled with the belief that good

c. w. Towsley a New Orleans and West

bought half dozen of the little black lead
statues of St. Joseph. for which old ST.

famous reputation. He kept one, and sent
the others to a friend in New York who
had asked for them.

wish was granted, and the statue passed
