BRUNSWICK PEOPLE WORRIED.
MUCH FEELING OVER LOSS OF HAIR
BOR AUTHORIZATION.

Relief Expressed That Ex-Congress-
man King Is Responsible for the
Brunswick HarbOr Items Being
Stricken Out-Goodyear Has Done
Good WOrk-The brunswick Times
Now in Charge of Messrs. Brantley
Pnd Deming.
Brunswick, Ga. Feb. 5.-There is a great
deal of feeling in Brunswick over the de-
feat of the appropriation for Brunswick
in the river and harbor bill, and the local
papers are to-day teeming with statements
against those who are responsible for the
drawback to Brunswick.
Charges are being made here that Gen.
j. Floyd King, former congressman from
Louisiana and a former beneficiary of the
Goodyear bar work, is responsible for the
items for Brunswick being stricken from
the river and harbor bill. and to secure
the success of his fight on Col. Goodyear
he has resorted to charges which cannot
be substantiated
The charges that are alleged 20 have
been made by King and others are In
effect that Col. Goodyear has improperly
wick ocean bar, and that ne has not full
filled his contract with the government.
Aside from the seriousness of the charges
which are alleged to have been made
against Col Goodyear, there is a feature
which is liable to involve government off,
Gals in the case The various surveys
that have been made on the Brunswick
outer bar give to the war department the
facts upon which the government has paid
Col. Goodyear for his work. and It Is
hardly probable that favorable report
would have been made of any of tho
work, II Col Goodyear had not done what
he contracted 20 do
Kings Attitude a Mystery.
The attitude of Gen. King in fighting
Col. Goodyear Is not understood here. AL
together, the affair is one which prom
ises well for a congressional investiga-
tion and II is confidently expected by the
friends Of Col. Goodyear that the inves-
tigation will still further bring the i'm
portance of his work to the eyes OF the
country and make Congress understand
that instead of defrauding the government
he is really saving It nearly 100000 on
the Brunswick bar alone.
II has been the case heretofore that the
more the Goodyear work was investigated
the more pleased Congress was with Il
and the larger the appropriations they
granted him. His reputation in this sec
ton is unimpeachable and all Brunswick
is at his back In this fight.
