NEW TOWN WANTS
CAPTAIN NEWMAN
VOTER OF THAT LOCALITY
NoMlNATES THE ALDERMAN
FOR MAYOR.
AND GIVE REASONS WHY
Cutie an interesting Card from a
Well Known Brunswick Bus
mess Man-TaIks of the
Nomination

Editor News;-I notice the card in
your valuable paper today, signed
Taxpayer" and after reading same
it served to put the thinking cap on
me-
am a citizen of New Town. tax
payer and a business man-that is to
say, | have a small business and feel
that l, in common with other clti-
zens in this section of the CITY, should
have some voice in the selection of
those gentlemen who are to govern
city affairs for the coming two
years.
| am told that in a fashion for
mayor and l suppose for aldermen has
been agreed upon by a committee of
nine. l would like to ask to whit
creative power committee owes its
allegiance. Here in New Town we
have but one representative. whose
term of atiiee expires tnis year. Will
tn powers that be condescend 10 ac-
knowledge us as citizens wnen the
next ticket is made up? In fact. why
should we not have the mayor? We
have among our number a man, thor
oughly competent to fill the duties Of
the Office; man who has been close
iy Unidentified with the present admin
istration, man whose energy and
perseverance, the people of Bruins
Wick are indebted for the present i'm.
provement on Newcastle street. and
but for the interference of his collea-
CUES in council the entire city would
have been paved
What is the matter with Captain
Tobias Newman for the next mayor
of Brunswick He is a large property
owner, conducts a business of consid-
cradle magnitude and for many years
has been socially in touch with every
Improvement that redounded to
Brunswick's good.
He has served as member of the
board of county commissioners. mas
been in council for two years and
rs mature, reliable and conservative
business man, and in all of
this service his business has been
a secondary consideration and that in
fatigable energy characteristic in his
own affairs has been given to the pub
lie veal in the capacities above stated
and that. too, in violence of his own
personal interests.
Now then. when the Good Govern
ment clubs calls in nominating con
vention, as humble taxpayer, a voter
and a citizen of Brunswick, | ask that
the work Of the committee of nine be
ignored and that some citizen, ir-
respective of past political affiliation
be considered in connection with the
Office of mayor.

The many friends of Capt. H. F.
Virgins, the popular conductor on the
Atlantic Coast Line, sympatnize with

Fred, aged three and half, who died

It was a peculiarly sad aeatn. The
little fefiow.wno was the especial pet
of all the raiirad men, and the Joy of

abode OF rest Words comfort but
little a sorrowing father in such a
tragicai death, but all hearts go out to
him and hope shat he may meet mis-

Not Known Whether or Not the Same
Committee Will Name Them.
A great many names are being sug-
gested for the aldermen to be elect
ed at the December election, but it is
not known yet who will be the can

The committee from the Good Gov

THE CITY COURT QUESTION.
It is Now the Topic of Conversation
in Brunswick.

It is Now the Topic of Conversation
in Brunswick.
The city court question was again
actively conversed yesterday and in
the language of the court, friends
were out "for and against the priso-
ner at the bar"
1t seems that considerable differ
ence of opinion exists ON the subject
of whether or not the court should be
abolished.
Many Of our people think the court
is expensive and feel that it comes
in the nature OF luxury. Others
feel that it is a necessity and one
that must exist.
On these lines the matter is being
fought out; petitions are being cir
culated and private policicai work is
being done in all sections of the city,
In the meantime, no intelligent
prognostication can be made as to
final results.
The court may go and the court

CUBAN AMERICAN CONVENTION.
Believed That Palma's Cabinet Will
Accept Proposition.

Accept Proposition.
Havana October 17-Business men
VINO have been called in to consult
with President Palma on the proposed
Cuban-American commercial treaty
feel assured that the cabinet will ap-
prove the proposition OF the United
States, and that it will be sent to
congress within a few days for adopt
ion. There is some fear thai the rad
icai element in congress will object
to approving the commercial treaty
without first settling the question of
coaling station, and without being in
formed clearly on the Intentions of
the United States with regard to the
enforcement of the Piatt amendment.
The commercial treaty submitted
to Cuba by Washington is practically
the Bliss tariff schedule, which was
drawn up just before the American
military government withdrew from
the island, and which ieayes the pres
ent duty in force against - other ma
tions, but gives the United Staes diff
ferential of from 20 to 60 per cent
In return the United States offers
Cuba reduction in duties of 20 per
cent

COMING SESSION OF LEeIsLA-
LATuRE WILL BE AN IN
TEREsTINe ONE.
TEE RACE FOR SPEAKER
A Forecast Of Some OF the important
Bills That Viii Be intro
duced During the
Session.

On next "Wednesday the Georgia leg
islature will be called to order in At
lanta. SaER
This win be one of the most Inn
portant sessions of the. legislature that
has been held in many years, as many
questions OF vital Importance to the
future welfare of the state will come
up for action and settlement.
or course, the first matter of inn
portance that will come before the
body will be the election of speaker
to preside over the deliberations, and
1t is truly said that more power is
vested in the speaker of the house OF
representatives than any other
state official. inasmuch as he has the
appointment of all the committees
and the committees nave the shaping
OF legislation.
There are now three candidates in
the field for speaker, Fondren Mitcn-
ell, of Thomas, N A. Morris of Cobb
and Emerson George of Morgan The
race is generally conceded to be be-
tween Mitchell and Morris. Mr.
Georges only hope OF winning lies in
the fact that it might be impossible
for either of the lending candidates
to secure the necessary majority of
ali the Votees In the house and the
members settle on Georg as com
promise candidate.
--11s1er the election of a speaker comes
the eletcion of a clerk. John r. Boif.
euiliet. of Macon, is the present clerk
of the house and is candidate to
succeed himself He is being opposed
In the race by Mark Hardin. of Cobb
county.
Many important bills will come be-
fore the legislature One of the most
important of which is the disposition
of the state convicts. The prison
commission will recommend that the
present lease system be continued,
but there are a number of members
Of the mouse who are opposed to
leasing the convicts under any circum-
stances and would oppose any bill
advocating a continuance OF the pres
ent system. They believe that the
convicts should be placed on the roads
of the state and taken completely
out Of competition with free LABOR in
every branch of trade.
Another question of great impor-
tance that will come up will be an at
tempt to repeal or modify tie present
garnishment law The Retail Grocers
Association of the state will have in.
troduced in the Legislature bill look
ing to this end and they are now see
ing the members all over the state
in the interest of the measure. There
are great many arguments to be
used on both sides of this question
and the outcome will be watched WITH
much interest
c. c. Houston. OF Fulton county,
will again introduce bill for the pre-
ventlon of children of tender age
working in factories Of the state.
A similar measure was defeated in
the last house, but is is remarka-
bic fact that very few Of those who
voted against the measure and stood
for reelection were returned, while
nearly of those VINO voted for the bill
will go back to the house this year
This may or may not be significant,
but the friends of the measure look
upon it as a hopeful sign and believe
that the bill will pass the coming gen
erai assembly.

REGISTRATION is SLOW.
Very Few Have Qualified for the
City Election.

Although the number of names now
being added 10 the registration list is
larger tnan when the books were first

pared with former years, and II the

Registration, though, is Always
small until few days before the
books close, and then the voters go in
with a rush This may be the case
this year. .
