LITTLE NOTES ABOUT TOWN.
Items Gathered by News Reporters for
Hasty Readers.

Although the weather forecast for
yesterday said it would be colder this
was certainly not the case and it was
a regular summer day. One can tell
by yesterdays weather though, that
it will be cold within the next few
days.
The river front is now one of the
very busiest places in the city and
hundreds of men are employed to load
the large feet Of vessels now in port.
There seems to be but little doubt
but that there will be a new boat
on the St Simon pier run next sum
|mer. The boat will be operated by
the owners of the two Hessies and it
IS said that it will be a large and
|c0mmodious one.
So far some few of the merchants
have begun to receive their Christmas
goods but the greater amount of these
have only received small shipments
and the bulk will not come for two
weeks yet, A prominent merchant,
and one of the largest in the city, said
yesterday that he would have the
largest stock ever brought to Bruins
wick.

FAIR is POSTPONED
Riflemen Decide Ito Open
Entertainment on No
Vember 80

The Brunswick Riflemen have found
it necessary to postpone their fair for
one week, and instead of commencing
on Monday, November 23,it has been
ound necessary to Begin on Monday
night, November 80 and continue un-
til December 5.
The company postponed the fair for
a week owing to the fact that dur
ing the week beginning November
% there will be many entertainments
in the city four or five of the best
shows of the season will be at the
Grand, and all of these attractions will
serve to interfere with the attendance
at the fair.
However, a weeks postponement will
not make very much difference, in
fact, some of the ladies in charge
are glad that they will have a
week more to prepare for the open
ing. They are all hard at work at pres
ent; donations are coming in and the
success of the affair is already assur-
ed.

In the next few days will be Miss
Laura Talbot Calf, the famous young
lady of Louisville, Ky, whose name
has been household word in the

OF her class in the public schools.
Readers of The News, and in fact
the press of the United States, are
familiar with the incident which has
become part of the latter day history
of the cid Confederate veterans.
When it became known that this
loyal friend of the Lost Cause had de-
clined tc join in the singing of this
old war song the news swept like
wild fire throughout the United States
and in all the southern states the
Confederate veterans camps began to
elect Miss Gait as honorary member.
The Georgia State Association, as
a body, elected the young Kentucky
girl as honorary member and oy unan-
imous vote invited her and her mother
to be their guests at the annual re-
union in Augusta this week Miss
Gait accepted and with her mother
has been the recipient of many charm.
ing social attentions in Augusta DUR
ing the past few days.
Miss Gait has several friends in
Brunswick made during the reunion in
louisville about two years ago, and
one of these friends, Miss Mary Bur-
roughs, invited her to come to Bruins
wick while on her trip to Georgia
The invitation has been accepted and
if nothing unforeseen happens Miss
Calf and her mother will be in this
city this week.
To say that the reception accorded
this young lady by Brunswickians will
will be a most cordial one is putting it
mildly. There are no more loyal peo-
Pile in the south than here in this beau
tiful city and they will be delighted in
her.

CRUSHED TO DEATH
Young Mississippi Boy
Meets a Horrible
Accident

Forest, Miss, Nov. 12.-News was
received here today of an occurrence
in the interior of Smith county, 18
miles from here, at Lemons postoffice,
which for strangeness is almost with
out a parallel
young man about II years old
who name is Bailey, was literally com
pressed in a bale of cotton.
From the most reliable information
Bailey, who assisted in packing cot
ton, either accidently fell in the press
or jumped in before enough cotton
had been placed ON the bottom to pro.
vent injury. 1t is thought that the
young man either by falling or jump
ing into the press must have struck
in such a manner as to have rendered
himself insensible.
others were assisting him in put
ting the cotton into the press but,
strange to say, no one saw him de
Scend in any manner. He was mis-
sed before the bale was finished in
packing but it was thought that he had
gone to the well for water.
After the press had been filled the
betting was replaced upon the machin-
cry and the cotton compressed by the
steam with a force which must have
equIicd many tons The doors OF the
pres ed were knocked open prepara-
tory to- the pulling on the ties and sew
ing the bagging, when what was sup
posed to be a shoe heel and sole was
seen in the side of the bale. The press
was run down in order to relieve the
pressure, after which the discovery
was made tnat a man was compressed
in the cotton The baie was hurriediy
torn to pieces and Bailey was taken
out, crushed almost beyond recogni
ton. His head and face were crushed
and black from the pressure and he
could only be identified by his hair
and clothing
1t was most fortunate that his foo
was near enough the edge of the bale
mot to escape notice. Otherwise ht
would have been hauled to town, sole
for ten cents a pound and probably
shipped TO some eastern mill before
the horrible discovery was made.

Secretary Oliver Touched
BY an Ugly
Scandal
II CAUSES A SENSATION
Social Life of Robert Shaw Oliver.

tary, is Involved-oliver
Denies the Charge. +

Washington, Nov. 12.-There ara
indications of a sensational fight being
made in the senate against the con-
flrmation OF Roosevelt's nomination OF
General Robert Shaw Oliver as assis-
tant secretary of war.
General Oliver, who is a personal
friend OF the president, has been SER
wing as assistant secretary of war
for some time, under a recent annoint.
ment, and his nomination with MANY
others has been sent to the senate
for confirmation.
1oday sensational attack upon OF.
lVer appeared in the New York Sun
IN which insinuations against his per
Sonal character were plentiful, and
the statement was made that his con.
hrmatlon would be fought. The item
declares that protests were filed with
the president against the appointment
Of Oliver by prominent republicans of
AiDdhy anu duuS:
Mr. Roosevelt was governor of New
York three years ago when he met
General Oliver. Mr.. Roosevelt as
governor, was perfectly familiar with
the social life of General Oliver. In
formation has been furnished the pres
ldent of the social life of General Or
iver, not only in Albany, but in Flor
ence, Italy"
The character of the attack was
such to call from General oliver a
signed statement in which he says
i know of no protest or reason for
any. 1t is outrageous that reputa-
Die paper should publish such COM
munication from correspondent with
out a thorough investigation and an
absolute Veriication. | have not been
In Italy since | was young man.
ROBERT SHAW OLIVER
The impression made in Washing
ton was that the article was inspired
by Senator Platt, but that gentleman,
although not particularly friendly
with Oliver, says he has made no
charges and seen none This, in the
opinion of the politicians carries the
matter up to Governor Odell.
There is much mystery about the
whole affair and it is anticipated that
a fight may develop before the SEN
ate.
The fact tnat General Olyiver has
seen fit to dignity the charges by
formal statement is much commented
upon here.

Following the naming of these com
mittees came the selection of the
next meeting place.
Several cities were placed in nom
ination but an especially strong ap
peal came from Dublin and it was de-
cided to meet there the second Tues
day in November next year. The an,
xiety of that thriving little city to en-
tertain the distinguished body of
clergymen is best attested by the fact
that in addition to the pastors of the
various churches, the mayor and coun-
Gil, the board of trade and a commit
tee OF citizens issued special invita-
tions.
The Synod followed the selection
of the next meeting place with an
hour devoted to hearing from DR.. T.
H. Law, southern agent of the Amer
lean Bible society in his report on the
Bible cause.
The reports of various Presbyter-
teries of the Synod came next consist
ing for the most part OF statistical
matter of particular interest to the
clergymen.
The time devoted to hearing from
DR.. Snedecor, secretary of colored ev-
angelistic labors, was well spent as
the details he gaveof this work were
very interesting and instructive.
ne AFTERNOON session was opened
with discussion of DR.. Sndeecors re
port and reports from various com
mittels. These reports were perti-
nent to the work of the individual
Presbythries and more particularly
interesting to the churches of each.
At O'Clock a large congregation, of
Brunswickians joined the Synod in

contained an endorsement of the move
now under way to secure the estab-
