THE CONSTITUTIONS WRITE UP
Of tn. New Judge Of Bruulwiok'u City

OyAkst
The Atlanta Constitution, in its is
sus of Tuesday last, devoted the col
umn on it's editorial page desi grated
as prominent meR in the public eye"
to write-up Of Hon. J. D. Sparks,the
new Judge of the BrunswiCk city
court. The Contributions article
says:
Hon. Jefferson D. Sparks, who on
Wednesday last took the oath OF office
as Judge of the City Court of Bruins
wick, has host OF friends in BRUINS
wick and other parts Of the state who
rejoice IN his elevation to this import
ant position. They have faith IN him
as lawyer and man, aud predict for
HIM an enviable record on the bench.
His term OF office is for four years,
and during his administration many
eases OF great Importance, both civil
and criminal, will be sdjuuicated in
his court.
Judge Sharks has lived in Brnns-
wick since 1889. He is a native Of
Putnam county-famous for the prom
insnt men it has furnished in legisla-
tive halls and to the bench and bar Of
the state. He is now 81 years old,
and has been praoticing law for thir-
teen years. He has won his laurels
by sheer worth and merit, having al
ways had the reputation OF being a
diligent and painstakipg lawyer, and
his career at the Brunswick bar has
been in every way successful.
When it bscAme known last summer
that there would be four and probably
i've applicants for the iudgeslip Of
The city court, including several Of
the Older and most prominent mem
bers Of the bar, speculation was rife as
to who would be he successful OAndi-

outset it was generally thought the

Of Glynn county, as the cfiioe is en-

and this sort of thing went on until
finally the Brunswick judgeship be-
came the absorbing topic around the
capitol building, and every one wac
asking the question, "What is the
Governor going to do sbout the Bruns-
wick CITY Court?" Judge Sparks and
his friends refused to circulate petit
tiOns either in the House or Senate,
and took the position that the office
was pHrely local, and thatthe appoints
ment should be made on the local en-
dorsement OF the respective oandi-
dates. He filed his endorsement with
the Governor, ard it was one OF the
strongest ever pr scented TO the Exec

HORRIBLE ATROCITIES.

Dallas. Texas, Sept. 11-A hor- rible story is told by Dallas people who returned tonight from the storm stricken city Of Galveston. They declare that negroes and many white persons are hourly commit. ting the most atroeious acts Of yan- dalism. J. N. Griswold, division freight agent of the Gulf, Colorado ard Santa Fe railroad, who was in that city during the storm and had hair breadth escape from death, said:
 "Ears and fingers bearing diam ond were hacked off with pocket knifes, and the members placed in the pockets of vandals. The bodies of women who wore fine clothes have been stripped of the last thread and left to fester ln the sun. The residences left standing have been broken into and Awelry and silver plate stolen Isaw negro woman carr ying large basket of@ssilver ware that was mot hers.
 "At Texas City saw an old white man considerably under the inhu- ence of liquor. From bis pocket there protruded a roll of bills as big my arm, which he claimed to have found on the bay shore.
 Upon all hands this horrible work is going on. The offenders are generally negroes, although there are some white men who have demonstrated that they are suf- ficiently devoid of honesty and man. hood to participate in these ghoulish deeds.
 "As soon as the storm subsided the negroes stole all the liquor they could get, and, oeastly drunk, pro- ceeded with their campaign of van. dalism They should each be killed or driven from the island, for tho people are so wrought up that they cannot take care of themselves. Troops are needed at once. If they are not sent without delay, God help the survivors in Galveston.
 This is cor irmed by dozen men of the highest standing here.

5000 VICTIMS. THE DEATH LIST SMELLS IN CALVES N-THIEVES
 ARE AT WORK.
SENSATIONAL SHOCKING
Bodies Being Cremated and Gov cred in Ditches---Horrible
 Stories.

Houston, Texas, Sept. H. The appalling nature of the great trag edy at Galveston grows steadily as communication is slowly restored and refugees reach haven of safety here, bringing with them stories of a calamity unparalleled in Ame' iean history.
 When the early reports of the dis aster reached the outside world giv- ing an estimate of 1900 souls swept suddenly to eternity, the news was received with universal incredulity.
 Tonight Mayor Jones issues the astounding statement to the world that conservative estimate ot the dead is not less that 5000 souls.
 The news today from the stricken city is as sensational as it IS shocK- ing. So dangerous a menace to the safety of the survivors has the ex- istenee of the rapidly decomposing corpses become that every able bodied man who can lend hand is engaged in the work of crematjng those bodies that remain in the de- bris and of consigning to the sea or to common trenches those that are picked up on the streets or along the storm swept beach. Already 2300 have thus been disposed of in the interest of human life and the preservation of public sanitation.
 Though hardly creditable, the news seems amply confirmed that 6ends in human form have flock ed to c alveston to rob the dead and loot their homes. Intense indigna tion has been aroused here over these terrihle disclosures, and the report of the killing of more than a score of the ghous by soldiers and citizens fnds the strongest com mendation in public sentiment. Now, however, that Mayor Jones has taken firm stand on the situ ation and has both the support of the State and regular troops, it is assured that the city will be more thoroughly policed and further dissertation of the dead promptly stopped.
 The relief work, now under full sway here, is along two lines- to succor those who cannot leave Galveston and bring out of the city ali who can and are willing to leave l Mayor Jones ana the the citizens committee of the island city are urging that only those shall be permitted to enter whose presence is imperiative. and the trans sporta- tion lines are straining every nerve in order tEat they may accommo- date those who are pleading to get away from the scenes of horror and desolation around them. Probably 200 people who lived through the St ul trying experience of Saturday aud Saturday night reached here during the day and this evening In the hotel Hobbies and on sidewalks they were the centers Of intensely J interested and sympathet tic groups of listeners a they related their individual experiences
