SYMPATHY FOR FRED WAY.
Brunswickians Kick on Sunday
Postohice Closing.

POstOnce Closing.
Brunswick. Ga, Dec. 1.--When the
news reached Brunswick to-day
through the Morning News regarding
the terrible accident to Mr.. Fred f.
Way, electrician of Savannah, there
was widespread regret expressed Mr..
Way lived in Brunswick up to the time
of his departure for Savannah to ac-
cept the position in the electric light
works there. lie was one of the best
and one of the most popular young
men in the city. The sympathy of the
community has been extended the fam
lily by their friends to-day and every
one here hopes that the young man will
recover.
All hope of recovering the body of
Mr.. DeLauney White, mate of the Fall
con, who was drowned a few days ago,
has been practically abandoned.
The Mayor and Council have extend
ed the time for paying taxes until Dec.
20, for the benefit of the tax payers.
On yesterday Messrs. Brown & Co.,
in the presence of a few friends on
board the American schooner Francis
G. Tunnel presented Capt. H. T. Tun-
nell, her master, With d handsome low
through Mr.. Mike Brown in token of
the first trip of the vessel, she being
entirely new and a beauty. The vessel
arrived here on Thanksgiving day. She
is four master of 1899 tons, and will
carry about $4,000 crossties.
A big kick has gone up from the
business men of Brunswick to-day over
the closing and locking of the post
office doors except during the regular
Sunday hours. This action is taken by
the postmaster, who says that the de-
partment has ordered it done, not only
here. but in all cities where the post
office has not watchman. This
means that Brunswickians who pay
box rent cannot get their mail on Sun
day unless they observe Sunday hours.
1t is now practically useless for any
one to have a box as they can go to
the window and get their mail just
as easy, and the man who has his
mail handed out through the window
has the same advantages as to hours
as does box owner.

Necessity for One

Necessity for One.
Chicago, Dec. Live stock men
need expect no assistance from Secre-
tary Wilson in their plan to have Con-
gress create a federal live stock COM
missioner to rank as second assistant
secretary of agriculture. Mr.. Wilson,
who was said by some of the delegates
to be in favor of the proposition, ar
rived to-day and announced his oppo-
sition to the plan.
I'VE have a bureau of animal indus
try now" said the Secretary, "and it
is entirely competent to look after the
live stock interests of the country.
There are 1000 men under the direc-
ton of the bureau, which is headed by
DR.. Salmon, who is thoroughly versed
in all matters pertaining to the cat
tle-raising industry. !, myself, am q
live stock man and in sympathy with
the aims and objects of the Live Stock
Association.
81 can see no reason for the crea-
tion of any new Office in the depart
ment, and if any one has said other
wise a mistake has been made. l do
not see that the live stock interests
can complain of the manner in which
they have been treated by the federal
government" "

MAY FIGHT WHISKY TRUST.
Spirits Association at Outs with
Standard DistiIIing Company.


Cincinnati. Dec. 1.-Great interest is
taken in the meeting here this week
of the United States Spirits Associa-
tion, as it is expected war will be de-
clared against the trust.
The United States Spirits Associa-
ton is the distributing agent of spirits
and alcohol, and is under contract
with the Standard Distilling Company,
one of the concerns composing the
Distilling Companies of America, the
whisky trust" to take its entire out
put. The Spirits Association is an in
dependent organization, but mutual in
terests make it desirable that they
work in unison. They have been do
ing so for several years.
The spirits association meets an
nually with representatives of the
Standard Distilling Company to agree
upon prices and to contract for the
output of the latter company.
The first trouble with the United
States Spirits Association came seven
months ago, when the trust advanced
spirits and alcohol in the base one cent.
a gallon to $1.31. The second trouble
came several days ago, when the trust
added another cent, making the price
$1'o1. II gave as 1tS reason the advance
in the price of corn.
The latest increase the Spirits Asso-
citation says was unwarranted and
many members say they cannot stand
by the price and win seek the articles
outside of the trust markets.
The output of the Standard Distilling
Company amounts to about 10000, 000
gallons year. The recent advance rep
resents SS00,0O The distributors claim
that the rise in corn was not sufficient
to justify the last advance.
