ture mas the second time killed a bill to

Mr.. BROBST0N'S STATEMENT.
DenieseThat He MisIed the Govern
or as to the Purpose of the
Maritime Congress

Brunswick, Ga, Feb. 1.-Brunswickians
have spent the greater part of to-day DIS
GUESSING interviews said to have come
from Gov. Gambler on~the Maritime Con-
gress.
Tonight when the Atlanta Constitution
arrived with an interview quoted as au-
thorized by the chief executive, wherein
he says in reference to Mr.. Brobston's
statement that he put Gov. Gamblers
friends on notice that Mr.. Brobston dld
not tell him"
The Morning News correspondent re-
quested MI. Brobston 10 make statement
for publication. Mr.. Brobston said: II
regretNhat any misunderstanding resulted
over this. l had no occasion to notify
Gov. Gambler himself, but the day before
Gov. Gambler signed the call for the con-
81 ess to assemble in Brunswick, which
was thirty days or more ago, l stated
to some of his friends here that l did
not believe that the Governor would siga
that call, and that l believed that IT
meant ship-subsidy congress; that while
| myself was a convert to that policy, II
was opposed by the Democratic party
and l did not believe that Gov. Candicr
would sign the cali in its original shape,
and l understand since then that the
words: called at the instance of the
Brunswick Board of Trade were inserted
by the Governor himself when the original
paper was presented for his signature
while I do not think Gov. Gambler s
friends realized the full purport of this
matter at the time, they induced him TO
sign the call, they certainly cannot charge
me with any manner of deception. We
cannot hep what we believe, and convic-
tions always force themselves. A ship
subsidy bill on equal basis will benefit
the South and will build up American
shipping. l believe in it and have advo-
Gated it as a business proposition. If there
be those who criticise my motive the in
dorsement given me by my home people
is sufficient answer.

COUNTY OFFICERS ADJOURN

Should Give $500 Bonds-An Elab-
crate Banquet Given the Members
Last Night and Further Entertain-
ment Will he Extended Those who
Remain Over To-day.
Columbus, Ca, July u.-County officers
convention ended its session this after
noon, but most OF the members remained
over tonight to the banquet, and will
stay to enjoy other entertainment fea-
lures tomorrow and tomorrow night.
The convention decided to meet in Atlanta
next year, although Valdosta and West
Point both rendered urgent invitations.
The newly elected officers were INSTALL
ed to-day, and the report OF the secre-
tary was read. but was not given to
press for reasons known only to the coo-
vention.
A resolution was adopted this morning
that ordinaries, tax receivers and collec-
tors be admitted to the association. An
other resolution was adopted admitting
all county officers to membership, but
this afternoon some of the members
thought this was too sweeping, and the
resolution was repealed, and the matter
held UP till the Atlanta meeting.
The ordinaries' convention meets at In
dian Springs on the 24th inst, and will
then vote to emslgamate with the gen
eral association, 1t is thought.
The Executive Committee is composed
of Calvin Dampier, Sheriff Roberts, Owen
f. Riley and j. T. Mcclellan. Former
resolutions of thanks to Columbus and
her people were adopted.
This afternoon Solicitor Gilbert intro
duced resolutions strongly commencing
the conduct of the sheriff of Carroll coun-
ty in defending his prisoner against a
mob which attacked the jail. This was
unanimously adopted.
Another resolution was adopted asking
the Legislature to pass a law requiring
all parties who carry weapons openly or
concealed to give a $500 bond for the
privilege. 1t, Is thought that such a
law would tend to break up the pistol
toting habit, which the members believe
is responsible for many homicides and
other crimes.
The insurance laws were changed to
provide that one assessment be kept in
the treasury of the association at all
times. When member dies new as
sessment will at once be called.
The banquet was In progress at a late
hour tonight. Speaker Little and
Charlton Battle, two of the main ora
tors, were Unexpectedly prevented from
appearing, but their places were filled
and the programme carrid out. Tn col
lation is a magnificent one and is served
in fine style at the Rankin

Put-in-Bay, o., July u.-Hon. William

the principal speaker at the annual meet
ing of the Ohio Bar Association here to-
day. His subject was "Our Place in the
International Family He said, in part;
THE United States is now regarded as
factor and an important one in the So
luton of the worlds problems in which
she is interested. Foreign governments
which have long neglected claims arising
from mistreatment of our citizens no
longer permit disrespectful conduct to-
wards them and renot unmindful Of their
rights. The world has come to know that
to be an American citizen in every quar-
ter of the globe implies the protection OF
nation alive to the interests of its citi-
zens, however distant, however humble.
This by no means indicates that we have
become or are likely to be world power
in the sense that we shall adopt the policy
of promoting our own ACKNOWLEDGMENT at
the expense of weak and defenseless peo-
pie 1t does mean the maintenance of
our rights abroad, wherever they may
be assailed
while our policy has. to great ex-

purpose of the American Government to

American soil.
That our relations to the outside world

JUNE'S MANY FAILURES.
A Large Manufa cturing Concern Ran
Up the Heavy Total.


New York. July 11.-Classif1ed failure
returns as reported to r. G. Dun & Co.
for the month of June show failures
somewhat heavier than in the three pre-
ceding months and in the same month in
the two preceding years. but prior to 1899
last months liabilities would have been
considered extremely light.
In manufacturing the total was s1,5ls,-
SIT larger than last year. but few I'M
usual disasters account for the difference.
Depression in cotton manufacture, due to
overproduction of goods from high-priced
raw material, had almost passed away
without bringing any serious failures, and
the fact had been mentioned as remark
able In connection with earlier reports
One large concern, however. proved I'M
able to bear the strain quite long enough
and its debts account for practically all
of the June figures, which exceed the
same month of any recent year.
In other textile lines also the months
record is not pleasing. but since the new
fiscal year has brought definite improve

SOUTHERN YARN SPINNERS.
Steps Taken to CurtaiI Production
and Secure Uniform Contracts.

Steps Taken to CurtaiI Production
and Secure Uniform Contracts.
Charlotte N. c., July n.-At a special
meeting Of the Southern Hosiery Yarn
Spnners held here to-day resolutions
were unanimously adopted favoring a
curtailment of production during the
month of August and a uniform contract
between spinner and knitter. 1t is assum-
ed that the resolution to curtail pro-
duction during August will certainly be
effective and binding upon all the 10000
spindles represented by the association.
To avoid any semblance of hurry the
members of the association will be given
to July 20 to communicate with Secre-
tary Taylor at Kinston. Acting In ac-
cordance with communications received
by that date Mr.. Taylor will issue cir
cular stating that curtailment will be, or
will not be effective, as advised under
the resolution.
In conformity to the resolution as to
the uniform contract between the knittel
and spinner the association expects to
require the commission merchant to fur
nish copy of the order taken from the
knitter or assume the position of pur-
chaser himself. in other words, If the
commission merchants do not care to
give the name of the purchaser he will be
considered and held responsible as the
purchaser.

FOUGHT WITH MAD MASTIFF.
Brave and Desperate Struggle o
Young Leo Cohen of Rome.

Rome, Ga, July 11.-Leo Cohen, a
young clerk in ]. Kuttner & Co.'S, had
a thrilling and desperate hand-to-hand
struggle with. a huge mad dog here to-
day. The young man had started to
work early this morning, and when OPP
posite the postoffice was savagely at
tackled by a very large mastff The
young man, though very slender and frail
looking, displayed wonderful nerve and
presence of mind. When the great brute
sprang for his throat, Cohen seized him
by the throat and head and flung him
aside. Again and again the maddened
animal leaped at Cohen, who did not have
a weapon of any kind, and was too close
pressed to retreat.
Owing to the early hour no one was on
the street, and the young man and the
dog fought on alone and unnoticed. See
ing that he could not conquer the brute,
Cohen finally managed to throw him to
the ground, and held hin. there by sit
ting on his body. Calling for help, several
finally came, and some one struck the dog
on the head with an ak. The animal
wrenched loose and escaped, though
bleeding from a frightful cash on the
head. Remarkable to say Mr.. Cohen did
not receive scratch, but his escape was
miraculous. His courage in fighting the
great brute was as daring as anything
ever known here.
