DATE.

Land and Will Give 1t a Good
Trial.

The possibility of the discovery of
oil at Folkston. in Charlton county,
continues to be the topic of converse

of Mr.. Lucas, who will shortly begin

or more since, Mr. A. F. Lucas, the
man VINO discovered the first big gush
er at Beaumont, Texas, came to Folks
ton and made a careful examination
of the lands in the southern part of
Charlton county. He informed some
of the Folkston people that there was
unmistakable evidences of oil in the
county. few days later he returned
to Folkston, and this time made a long
er stay, spending much of the time eX-
amining the flow OF water from
81 lings in the neignborhood of ST..
Mary's river. Immediately after his
second trip Mr. Lucas, though an
agent, began to lease all the land OBJ
tainable in the southern part of the
county, the price to be paid was

years lease, The lease was for oil or
natural gas privileges only Payment
was made for tne first year in advance.
and under this proposition 25 900 acres
.of land Al situated below Folbaian,
were leased. and payment made for
one year. A short time later a car
load Of machinery, required in boring
wells, arrived, and was stored away
at the home of a man who had acted
as Mr.. Lucas agent. Mr.. Lucas has
made several trips to Folk3ton since
the land mas been leased, and nas Civ
en- out the information that boring
would commence as soon as a suitable
man to do the work could be secured.
He also stated that his first trip to
Folkston was occasioned by the sci
entifie reports of a civel engineer who
first surveyed the railroad through
tnat county, In nearly all of the
springs around Folkston, an oily scum
forms on the water as it flows from
tne ground. In spring on the banks
of the st. Mary's river, near Camp
Pinckney an occasional bubble will
cause an explosion TIE spring is
considered one of the strongest evi-
dences of natural gas beneath the
surface of the earth Some of the
Folkston people are doubtful in regard
to Mr. Lucas chances of finding oil in
their county, but the majority of them
are very nopeful. All believe that
work on the test well will begin in
a short time, and every one will lend

THE PLANT SYSTEM NO
MORE---COAST LINE NOW

The absorption of the Plant system
by the Atlantic Coast line railroad,
which was announced some months
ago, and which since that time has
been quite live topic in railroad cir
cles, became effective yesterday.
Circulars issued by the Coast line
have provided a temporary organiza-
ton which it is believed will largely
remain as the permanent organization
of the road. For the present the sys-
ten will be operated from Wilmington,
but in two divisions. The passenger
department will have headquarters at
Wilmington, while the freight depart
ment will have headquarters in both
Wilmington and Savannah.
TIE Southern began yesterday the
use of the trackage rights of the Plant
system between Savannah and Jack

of the arrangement for the consoli-

KING EDWARD ISON
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
MORE WAR TAXES OFF.
Business Men Have Another Burden
Taken Off.

Taken Off.
Yesterday was greeted joyfully by
thousands of business. professional
men and manufacturers throughout
the Union, and especially in Brunswick
for on that day the great war tax
leXfed on so many commodities was
repealed, and the long-suffering peo-
were relieved of considerable expense.
The act imposing this tax was passed
in 1896, and levied on July l of that
year Since that time an enormous
revenue has been drawn for the pur
pose of carrying on war Such taxes
will remain in force on a very few of
these commodities after yesterday
morning, however.
Brunswick has contributed a vast
amount to the government exchequer
since the passage of the bill, probably
more than any other city of its size
This has been done without complaint
in so far as the Spanish-American war
in behalf of Cuba is concerned, but
many seriously objected to paying
them for the purpose of carrying on
the affair in the Philippines.

Effort Being Made to Get the Lawyers
There.

1t is more tnan probable that the
1903 convention of the American Bar
association, composed of the foremost
jurists and lawyers of the United
States will meet in Atlanta. For
several years there has been a growing
sentiment among tine lawyers to meet
in the south, but the entire matter
has never been urged strongly. Wnen
tne American Bar association meets
this year at Saratoga, n Y, lawyers
from Atlanta. and from the state Bar
association of Georgia, will be present
in large numbers to urge the claims
of the southern city, and it is more
than probable that the lawyers will
accept the invitation of Atlanta. and
hold their meeting there in 1903.
