SAYS CANAL CAN BE CUT IN
PLANTATION AND CLUB
CREEKS FOR $500.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Captain Gil
lette has reported that canal can be
cut in conjuntion with Club and Plan
tation creeks so as to give an inside
route from the Altamamha to Bruins
wick, at a cost of $4,000, and very
hard fight is going to be made in the
senate to amend the house bill to in
clude the cut.
The above telegram came with
our regular dispatches last night, and
shows that Captain Gillette is in fa-
yor of cutting the proposed canal,
which VIII admit fresh water boats
to this port without going in st. Si-
non sOuIiu.
Congressman Brantley has been
hard at work on the plan for some
time, and it now looks as though he
will be successful

GOOD WORDS FOR
JUDGE A. j. cRoVATT.

- .
The Savannah Press of yesterday
said:
Hon. A. ]. Crovatt of Brunswick
should be nominated and elected to
the state senate. His name has been
frequently mentioned for this place
and mas been received with rare ex-
pessions of approval in south Georgia
Mr.. Crovatt was at one time mayor of
Brunswick and was later appointed
judge of the county court. In every
position he has shown himself to be
a capable lawyer a good officer, and
an honest man. He is absolutely
fearless and clean in his public ana
private life. That district needs a
man like Crovatt. He may be fought
by the little bevy OF politicians which
seeks to control things and carry
towns and counties in their vest pock-
cts, but the people shuld take control
OF politics and give Crovatt such a
send-off that his election would be
sure.

happened to take a train upon which
young Mason was conductor and Ma
son spent all of MS spare time on the
run to Chicago in talking to him.
Three or four times each year n
son carried the rich man between
Jacksonville and Chicago and later be-
tween Bloomington and Chicago, ard
he never once tired OF the old mans

states that II Matteson should secure
bail on the second charge ne will be
at once rearrested on a charge of en-

peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or ever
after the rough cough appears. and it
will dispel all symptoms of croup. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by

pay a poll tax. Sensible suggestion.
A man who is not patriotic enough to
pay two dollars for the support of the
common schools should be deprived of
the suffrage. In the south his is a
common way to deprive the negro of
the right to vote and it would be a good
