of dramatic scene today and yester-
day. 1t was commenced on the floor

Turning upon his fellow democrats
and shaking his fist in their faces, he
shouted:
when l refuse to vote to protect
the life of an American soldier hope
may be paralyzed."
Today Mr.. Cummings explained his
action. He closed by saying that his
party had started right on the subject
but had ended miserably. He said ne

WHO WILL
BE DEPUTY
ASSISTANT MAsTERsHiP is
NOW BEING DISCUSSED. SMITHS
APPOINTMENT WILL HOLD.

it is the general impression among
Brunswickians now that the appoint
ment Of A. N. Smith as postmaster
will stand, and his appointment will
probably be confirmed by the senate
today
The average citizen now is wonder
ing who will be named as deputy, No
ooubt Beleher and the machine have
some one slated for the place, but
they are keeping it as much a secret
as did they in Mr.. Smiths appoint

day that there were three or four ap-
plicants for the place, among them
being a we'll known negro.
A special from Washington to the
Savannah News yesterday says;
Postmaster Brown of Brunswick,
who came up to look over the situation
to see if he could prevent the confir-
nation of A. NJ Smith, who has was
appointed to the office, has got very
little satisfaction. Some of the news

understood the situation. but supposed
that the nomination had not been

A. M. Smith was nominated about ten

postmaster had been treated unfairly
he had Senator Clay, who is on the
postoflce committee hold up the con
firmntion until Brown could get here
There has been a strong sentiment in
favor Of Brown because he has made
Brunswick a good postmaster, and es-
pecially because at the time of the

The primaries were also held In Col
umbiana county Saturday. There was
but one candidate. from that county,
Charles 8. Speaker, Of Lisbon. Wal
lace II. Phelps, Of Alliance, entered
the field against him, and at Wells
vile, where he made the fight, cap
tured four Of the delegates. Phelpss
friends claim that had he had time to
canvass other parts of the county, no
would have secured larger number Of
delegates.
The result gives Speaker SO Of the
103 delegates from Columbiana and the
four added to what Phelps secured in
Stark, gives him 25. The candidates
will have when the fight opens in the
convention delegates at their command
as follows. Speaker 80, Kennedy 80,
Smith 65, Grant 46 and Phelps 25. The
convention will consist Of 324 dele
gates and 1t will require a majority

with the social and commercial condi-
tions of the twentieth century, but
the statements Of Paul, and the bus
fness methods of this age are in great
clash. We hope that the day isO near
at hand when the curtain will ifAa

competition in the world. We are to
help others and send the fire OF our
religion to our neighbors. The. spe-
cial mission OF Christianity is to help

CHRLST'S INFLUENCE.
Mr. Bookwalter said that Christ has
great influence among the common
people simply because he was one Of
the common people. "But we a:e not
able to win men like Christ and we
think that it Is almost an impossible
task. There is something, however,
In Gods organization of the ma
chinery Of the world that gives us
hope. God has organized the world
on the principle Of love but it seems
that the purpose OF men is to live a
selfish life and thwart the plans OF tho
Almighty. He who is the least sell
fish gets most out of life. Instead OF
making money to live we are living to
make money.
ITO get but not to give seems to
be the theory of the world today. Are
We to have new conceptions OF the
teachings of the master? The artist
Of the future, instead of painting the
picture of the Holy supper Of the
crucifxtios. will make the picture of
Christ washing the feet of his apostles
to bring forth the humble service OF
Christ"
In closing Mr.. Bookwalter express
ed the wish that his auditors would
take either Christ or Paul as an ex-
ample in their lives. He said he has
often heard the statement that one
cannot live as Christ did and he
closed by saying that the people
should take Paul as an example In
their life since he had some imper-
fections while Christ had none.
The services were closed with a ben
ediction and the singing OF several an
thems by the choir.

MIGHT HAVE ESCAPED.

In the United States ships New York
and Brooklyn and His Majesty's ships
Blake and Blenheim a method of en-
gine design is used by which the gain
In economy is unquestionable. These
are all large vessels with engines from
10000 to 10000 horse power, and they
were designed with two complete
triple-expansion engines on each shaft,
the idea being that at anything below
half power only one set of engines on
each shaft would be used, and this is
actually the practice in ordinary
cruising. Special objection to this
type of engine was developed at the
time of the naval battles of Santiago.
On both the New York and the Brook
lyn there was comparatively simple
coupling for connecting the two en-
gine shafts, but 1t required about Il
half hour to perform the operation.
During the blockade both the New York
and the Brooklyn had been kept under
half power, using only the after en-
gines. When Cervera's came out so
unexpectedly, IL was not deemed wise
TO lose half an hour in coupling up, so
that 1t was possible to work the en-
gines up to half power only. The poor
work of the Spanish engineers render
ed this lack of efficiency less important
than 1t would have been had the en-
emy's feet been possessed of skilled
engineers; but the lesson was learned
and this, added to the other objections
already mentioned, renders II unlikely
that this type Of engine will again be
used.
