MERCHANT FAVORS
A STREET FAIR
q
Thinks Such an Enter
tainment Would Help
Our City
URGES CITIZENS TO ACT
Thinks a Fair Here This Fall Will be
Drawing Card in This Sec
tion of the State ahd
Great suooT

Editor News:
| noticed with much interest the
article in your paper this morning
to the effect that the merchants and
others of the city were considering the
advisability Of having Il street fair
here during the coming fall, and | am
heartily in favor of the movement and
certainly hope it will materialize.
There is nothing that advertises a
city more than a street fair, or fair
of any kind. Brunswick, as you stat
ed in your article, now has new ter
ritory from which the visitors will
come, and believe that a street fair
will prove drawing card to the peo-
pie generally in this section of the
state.
Let's get to work Immediately. Let
the merchants call general Meeting
at the city hall in u short time, elect
officers and appoint committees and
commence at once.
There is no doubt but that we could
have fair that would be success in
every respect. Remember the first
fair we had here few years ago.
People came from all over the state.
and it was pronounced by all to be one
of the best ever given in the state. The
following year we waited until the
hot weather set in; people lost inter
est, and the second fair was not so
much a success.
a street fair will be the best of
them an, and | sincerely hope our
people will get Together at once and
make preliminary arrangements for
such an entertainment this fall,
Merchant.

Railroad Representatives
and CrOsstie Merchants
Met Here Yesterday
RATS WILL BE ADVANCED
All Efforts of Compromise Failed
and the Matter Now Seems to
be Somewhat of Com.
plicated Affair.

The meeting held in this city yester
day between representatives of the
different railroads and the crosstie
merchants was characterized with
anything but harmony, and, as a re.
suit, no agreement was reached in
reference to the advance IN crosstie
rates., and the matter is now as
far from settlement as it was a
month ago, when a meeting was held
before the railroad commission in At
lanta.
1t will be remembered that at the
meeting in Atlanta it was decided to
have meeting in Brunswick on
August 1st. at which time it was
thought and hoped that the railroads.
and crosstie merchants would come
together and reach an amicable
agreement. but such was not the case
and all efforts in that direction yes
terday were fruitlless.
The meetings were held in the par
lors of the Oglethorpe hotel and at a
the morning session President Frank
D. Aiken, of the Brunswick board of
trade presided.
The railroad representatives made
the claim that they could see no
good cause why the crosstie mer-
chants could not pay the advance
rate; that crossties were practically
the same as lumber, and announced
that they would be compelled to put
the two products on the same freight
rate basis.
The crosstie merchants stated that
crossties were, in no wise, the same
as lumber; was a much cheaper pro-
duct, and openly stated that it was
absolutely impossible for them to pay
the same amount Of freight as is
charged on lumber. They further
stated that If the advance was put
into effect the crosstie business would
probably have to be discontinued alto
gether. And there the matter stands.
Those present at the meeting were:
James Menzies of the Atlantic Coast
Line; L. E. Chalenor. of the Seaboard
Air Line; Fl. G. McFadden, of the
Atlantic C Birmingham; j. A. Nc
Duffie. of the Brunswick & Birming-
No, fhA nrf Af hn roil dc
W. M. Toomer, T. L. Crawley and
Leon A. Wilson, representing the cross
tie dealers; President Frank D.
Aiken and Secretary C. D. Ogg, of the
Brunswick board OF trade, and Mike
Brown, N. Emanuel and w. B. Cook.
crosstie merchants.
Two or three meetings were held,
but it seemed impossible to bring
about a settlement, and the meeting
adjourned in the afternoon without
a compromise.
The railroads announce that the
present rate, which is considerably
blow that charged on lumber, will
remain in effect until September !,
when they will be compelled to ad-
vance 1t.
Just what will be done in the mat
ter no one present seemed to know,
but it is generally thought that the
matter will now be referred back to
the railroad commission, and some
settlement may be reached before
September first,

Legislature is to Meet
Three Times Daily
Hereafter
ONLY NINE MORE DAYS
Over Three Hundred Bills are on Cal.
p endar Which Will Never be
Reached-Ninety for
Third Reading.

Afternoon and night sessions, as
well as morning sessions of the house
of representatives will be held be-
ginning Monday and continuing until
the close Of the session on August
18th. The house will get down to the
Ireal work next week, and will dis
pose of as many bills as possible be-
tween then and the time for ad-
journment.
Never before in the history of the
house has there been such a rush of
business. The clerks are kept busy
looking after the numerous bills, and
1t was absolutely necessary to have
three sessions day in order to get
through. The morning sessions will
be given over to general measures,
while the Afternoon and night sessions
will be devoted to local bills and
reading measures the second time.
Only nine more days of the present
legislative session remain and in that
time the house is expected to dispose
Iof more than three hundred bills
which are now on the calendar await
ing action. More than ninety bills of
q general nature are now awaiting
action, according to the calendar
which was prepared by Clerk John T.
Boifeullet Friday morning. Thenumber
does not include bills for the second
reading which are piled high upon
the clerks desk and which will never
be reached.
Very little work has been accom-
plished SO far this season and it is
expected that the house will adjourn
without having passed more than one
or two bills of general nature For
somereasoQ or other the house has
been ~s:sssasd thraggnouf tho year.
while the senate, as usual. has been
far ahead with its work.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug, lit Is hardly
probable that the bill allowing the
recorder Of the city OF Atlanta to
send youthful criminals to the county
reformatory without a trial in the
state curtis will be passed this year,
as the city council and the county
commissioners of Fulton county are
badly split up over the measure,
The bill was passed early in the
session and had gone to the governor
for approval, but was recalled by the
house for changes to be made. 1t is
now being held up pending COM
promise between the city and county
authorities.
The measure has attracted all sorts
OF attention in local circles, The ar
gument Of the commissioners against
the bill is that it would allow the
recorder to sentence boys and girls
under age to the reformatory for a
short term of service when they can
not be reformed within that time.
The time of the session is rapidly
drawing to a close and it is not
thought that the legislature will have
the time to take up the question of
the reformatory now.
