ENGINEERS GET
GOOD INCREASE
-
Difference Between b. &
B. Men is AmiCably
Settled
DOUBLE PAY TO OClLLA
Engineers Have Only Received
Days Pay for the Run to That
Place, But Hereafter They
VIII Get Double.

The differences between the engi-
neers and the Brunswick & Birming-
nam railroad company which was oc-
ca.oned by the demand on the part of
the engineers for an increase of 81, 90
day has been amicably settled.
1t will be remembered that a few
weeks since the engineers announced
that after Sept. 1 they would expect
an increase Of $100 "a day. The en-
gineers claimed that they were re-
ce.ving less than the engineers on
other roads.
While the company has not ex.
actly granted the increase demanded
they have made big concession. and
which is satisfactory to the engineers.
Heretofore the run from this city
to Ocilla has been considered only
a days run. Hereafter the engineers
will be allowed two days pay for
every trip they make to Ocilla
While this does not effect every en-.
gineer on the road, still it is satisfac-
tory to them all and they are work
ing as usual.

LABORERS FIRED
At BY SCABS
Local Union Men Try to
Drive SCabs Out of
the City
TROUBLE Is NOW EXPECTED
Number cf the Strikers Visited
House Where LSborers Were Ltv.
ing Last Night, But Were
DrivSn Away.

People in the vacinity of the resi-
dence of Mr.. Mike Brown. last night,
feared that riot was in progress
about II O'Clock. when the colored
strikers and number of scabs who
reached the city Monday had a short
engagement, the scabs getting decid-
adly the best of the conflict.
About eight of the scabs are occu-
pying the small house in the rear of
the Brown residence Last night, at
the above stated hour. the negroes
in the house were aroused by strikers.
One of the scabs, polSing his head out
of window. asked the negroes what
they wanted. and he received the re-
ply: I'VE are after you, get on your
clothes and come with us. We are
going to rum you out of the city"
The negro said nothing but took r
good look. He said that there
was one negro at each window and
door of the house. about eight or ten
of them altogether.
1t seems that the scab was prepared
for the visit as he had shot gun on
hand. He quickly seized it, and, with.
out taking aim at any one of the
strikers in particular, fired into the
"covy."
Whether l hit one of dos coones
or not. | aln't know" said the negro
but dey certainly did leave dis part
Obj town, and l bet dey neber come
at me agi4P
The negro said that as he fired, the
strikers left the premises, running
over each other in their effort to get
out Of the yard.
The scabS were also fraghtened.
and as soon as the strikers left the
yard they made dash and secreted
themselves in the residence of Mr..
Brown until police officer arrived.
Officer Carroll went to the scene of
the trouble but the strikers had left
and it is not known who the negroes
are that composed the gang.
1t is feared that the local negroes
Wall continue to freigIhten the laborers
until they get them out of the city
and trouble may be the result

ers Into the City.

Road was Compelled to Bring Labor
ers Into the City.
About a hundred colored laborers
have arrived in the city since Monday
morning from points on the Brunswick
& Birmingham railroad for the pur-
pose of unloading cars for that line,
which have accumulated in the yards
of the company since the strike.
These men were not brought to the
city to work for the lumber merchants,
but ony to unload about 100 cars Of
B. & B. lumber, which has been tied
up for the last two weeks.
1t is understood that the men have
been given quarters ait the fair grounds
and will occupy the different cottages
there while they are at work for the
road.
Owing to the fact that the different
lumber companies were short on Ia
borers, many cars of lumber which
have arrived for them during the past
two weeks have been left unloaded,
until the sidetrack of the B. & B. was
about full, and these men were
brought here for the express purpose
of unloading these cars.

Over Fifty Scabs Left Yes
terday, Frightened by
Local Strikers
SERIOUS THREAT is MADE
Feared That Trouble May Vet Re.
suit From the Strike Situa-
tion.-Laborers Greatly Stirred
On About the Threats.

Fifty of the laborers who reached
the city Monday morning to work on
the wharves an account of which ap-
peared exclusively in the News yes
terday morning. were marched out Of
the city yesterday, and, as a matter
of fact, the negroes were really glad
to get away. During the twenty-four
hours they were in Brunswick their
lives were made miserable They
heard all kinds Of threats; some Of
them were afraid to go to sleep Mon
day might, while others thought they
would be killed at any minute.
The News learned Monday night
that members of the labor union were
endeavoring to get the men out of the
city. A reporter talked with several
of the hands who came here to work
and when questioned as to what had
been told them by members of the
union they were frank enough to say
that they had been threatened.
I'VE have all been told to attend a
meeting at the union hall tonight. I
do not know what it is for. but we
have BEEN told that the Brunswick ne
groas wanted to give us a talk; that
they did not mind US working here
but wanted to tell us what to do. A
majority OF the men ATTENDED the
meeting, and an effort was made to
eIeM 9M 'uo!un eql oluI msql 49S
given to understand that we could not
work in Brunswick, and most of the
men will return
A reporter of the News endeavored
to get some fact from the local ne
gres last night, but it seems that the
union has instructed them to say littl
outside of the meetings.
A reporter heard this remark: "If
the rest of those coons are not out
of town by tomorrow night, there will
be trouble"
Just what is meant by this threat
is not known. The local negroes will
hardly attempt any violence. but it
is generally understood that they are
making the threat to freighten the
negroes away, and so far they have
been very successful.
However, many of the men will not
be scared by the threats of the union
negroes, and they we're at work as
usual yesterday. The fifty who left
the city are from the country stations
on the B. & B. and hey did not like
the idea of remainil 3 here under the
circumstances.

There is a Great Deal
OF Red Tape to be
UnWOund
MILITARY INSPECTION BEGINS
General West Returns From Wash.
ington, Where he Learned he
Still Had a Great Amount of
Work to do.

Following from yesterdays Consti.
utlon will be of interest in local mil
itary circles:
General A. j, West, quartermaster
general OF stae troops, has returned
from Washington, where he went to
learn what he would have to do be
fore paying out the $4,000 which he
has in his possession for The purpoe
of meeting the expenses of the re-
cent state encampment.
1t appears that General West found
out little more than he wanted to
know.
He found out that there was an
endless mass OF red tape, which has
to be unwound before the money can
be dbsbursed and that the adjutant
generals Office has got to do all over
again the work that it has done as a
supposed preliminary to the disburse-
ment of the fund
1t was thought that when the check
was first received, about two weeks
ago, that the expense of the recent
military encampment would all be paid
within a short time, but now it seems
\ that it will take until January l, if not
longer, to get rid of this money, and
meet the government requirements.
The expenses of these encampments
We're paid by the federal government
through the United States war de-
I partment. This means that every
thing in connection with the disburse-
ment of the fund must be done Just
so" No other way will do.
The chief work In connection with
| the fund Is that new payrolls must be
secured from each commander which
went to camp. This means that the
signature of each and every one of
the 5000 or 4,G00 Georgia soldiers
who went into camp will have to be
secured to another company payroll.
1t should not be understood that
the Georgia officers did not do this
at the proper time. They did The
payrolls OF every command that went
INTO camp are now in the Office OF
the adjutant general duly signed But
they are made out on the Georgia
form and thereby hangs the tale OF
woe The war department requires
that these payrolls shall be made out
ON the government blanks, and unless
this is done the money cannot be
paid out.

SITUATION IN MACEDONIA
Insurgents are Everywhere Increasing

London, Sept. 1.-The Salonica cor
respondent of the Daily Mail describes
the situation in Macedonia as being
one of the utmost gravity. The insur-
gents are everywhere increasing in
numbers and holding their own against
the Ottoman soldiers
Anarchy reigns supreme, asserts the
correspondent, the vast Turkish army
being completely out OF control and
eating up the country. In few weeks
famine must ensue, causing untold
misery. Any outrage in the city of
Salonica now would turn the Turks
into soldiers and the populace into
wild beasts. The country west of the
river Varda towards the vilayet of
Monastir, is expected to rise daily.

Outcome of Last Boat Race Not Be-
ing Closely Watched.
Local sports are paying but little
attention to the last race between
the Reliance and Shamrock Ill,
which has been called Off three times.
There is no doubt in the minds of all
that the Reliance will capture the
race, and thus hold the cup. On every
race the two boats have had, the
American craft has lead. Whether
the breeze was light or heavy, with
the wind or to the windward, it has
been demonstrated that the American
craft is superior boat in every re-
spect. The race yesterday was called
off on account of the weather.
Both the owners Of the Reliance and
of the Shamrock are anxious to have
the last race, and it is hoped that the
next attempt will be successful.
