First Georgia regiment held in Say
annad Monday night, Colonel r. S.
Wylly, Jr., announced that he nad for
warded to he governor his resignation
Of his commission, with the request
that he be placed on the retired list
Sof officers.
The information was a complete sur
prise to the officers, wno did not know
that Colonel Wylly had even been
considering such step, The regret
OF all was expressed. His action re-
suited from the demands upon his
time by his business.
Col. Wylly has been in command
OF the regiment for about eighteen
months, having served for a year as
lieutenant colonel prior to his election
as colonel He was formerly a captain
in the Savannah Volunteer Guards
and during the Spanish-Ameacan war
he was a major in Rays immunes.
1t is very probable that Lieutenant
G. Arthur Co, ON will be elected to
succeed Col. Wylly Col Gordon is d
son of Gen. w. W. Gordon He is
probably the youngest lieutenant col
onel the country, and a colonel al

ion of being the youngest officer o.

BRUNSWICK'S LIQUOR LICENSE.
Proposition to Increase to $500
Meets with Opposition.


Brunswick, Ga, Jan. 1O.-There is
likely to be a lively fight on in Coun-
ell in opposition to Mayor Emanuers
recommendation that the liquor license
be placed at $500 1t will be remem-
bered that Mayor Emanuel gave as his
reasons for this recommendation that
a license at that figure would have
the effect of driving out all the disrep-
utable dive keepers and leave the
liquor business in the hands of decent
men. This the liquor men claim a
license of $500, will not do. They claim
that the number of saloons will not
be materially decreased while hard
ship will be worked upon the liqor
men by the change from 5000 to $500.
Council is believed to be about evenly
divided on the license proposition.

At Camden, N. j., they were discuss
ing the death of Hon. William j..
Sewell. United States senator from
New Jersey, when DR.. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. 1t was
monia trouble, and this, with the da-
betes he already had, resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope WITH
Thereupon DR.. w. H. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau Of
Materia Medica, said:
THAT meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. I published a good
word for them five years ago, and
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy of
access, and the psychic influences OF
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo-
cratic in Europe, need our appreciation,
and they are getting it,
