Medal For the italian King.

Paris Oct. licking Victor Eman-
uel of Italy was the guest of the city
of Paris today. The official reception
took place at the Hotel de Vile and

of the kind seen in late years. All of
the civic and military officials of the
municipality were present in their
robes or uniforms of office and the
presence of numerous ladies in ex-
quisite toilettes rendered the scene
still more attractive.

THIS WINTER WILL BE COLD.
Old Fashioned Sign Indicates It-Few
Have Faith

Old FaShioned sign Indicates It-FeW
Have Faith.
There is good old fashioned Sign"
| that the coming winter will be a Sc
we're one, twentieth century omen
iconoclasts to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Grandparents held firmly to the
belief that when there was a supera-
bundance of fruits and nuts Dame
Natures liberality was but the display
of wisdom in providing her children
sustenance for the severe winter that
was coming.
Another Sign" that was notice
able for the past week or ten days is
the unusually blood-red sunsets, and
even long after old Sol has pulled up
his last ten flap and the day is done
the sky remains a glory of deep Grim
som WHICH gradually fades before the
silvery rays Of the silvery moon.
These signs are all firmly believed
in by our forefathers.
The wild fruits and nuts are said
to exist in great quantities this year
Hence the winter should be an unusu-
ally hard one.
Georgia farmers are getting to be
so up-to date that they have come to
lose faith in the signs" that have
been believed in since the beginning
Of things. Belief in the efficacy of
the ground hog as a forcaster of the
weather, in the time honored goose
bone as an Indication of cold or mild
winter. or in the size of the nut crop
as signs of the sort of wcather-mild
or frigid-that is to distinguish the
wintry season, had all been relegated
To- the department of tradition in an
Went history.

About II o'clock, the ware house of
Captain w. II. Tondee, on the north

The odor OF kerosene oil was very
perceptible, and it was undoubtedly
soaked in oil and then fired. About
100 bales OF cotton, lot of feed stuffs

s~he dressed lumber, and horse and
mule were burned
Mr. Tondee was pretty well insured,
but several planters lost cotton which
was not insured.
About o'clock, before the firemen
had quit putting water on the burn

alarm OF fire was again sounded, and
the brick warehouse run by j. 7. Pat
terson, on the north side OF town, was
found to be on fire
About 300 bales Of cotton were
burned here, the planters losing about

Interesting Readers Gathered Over

the City.
The weather forecast for today is
probably rain.
Sheriff Dave Bailey, Of Camden
county. Is spending few days in the
city.
Several offenders were before May
or Crovatt at the police court yester.
day on minor charges.
Clerk duBignon reports everything
unusually quiet around the court
house at present, and but few cases
have been filed lately.
The trading stamp mania has
struck Brunswick in earnest now and
the people all ask for them with
their purchases.
A large party of Brunswickians are
being made up to- attend the big Bar
mum & Bailey circus in Macon during
the state fair.
Good Georgia syrup is now on the
local market. Several Of the mer-
chants are advertising in the News
that they have it for sale.
The city is soon to make some
more improvements on Newcastle
street and it is probable that the street
will be paved with Augusta gravel
on down to the park.
Levy Bros, have issued invitations
to the men of the city to call and in
spect their large stock of clothing.
This well known firm has an unusu-
ally pretty line this fall of the best
makes of clothing.
The voters are now registering for
the aldermanic race and City Clerk
Russell is kept quite busy. Already
over two hundred names have been
placed on the big book.
Members of the police department
were called out ON Wolf street last
night to settle a little difficulty be-
tween a negro man and his wife. The
man wanted to leave the house and
take everything with him. The trouble
was settled as soon as the officer ar
dived.
The Mcclure Ten Cent store was
formally opened yesterday afternoon,
and will be ready for business today.
The store is prettier now than ever
and is full of a well selected stock
of goods.
Attention Is called to the display ad
of Capt. T. Newman which appears
elsewhere in this issue. Capt. New
man handles the very best of every
thing in the liquor line, and sells it
at wholesale and retail. For good
whiskey, for all uses, you can always
find it at his establishment.
lB. & B passenger trains are still run
ming ON rather a bad schedule which
was caused by the wreck a few days
ago. The fact of the matter is the
road has not sufficient engines to
handle all of the work, and although
they have orders in for new ones,
they are slow about arriving. 1t is
understood that two will be here to-
day from some sourse, which will
serve to relieve the situation some
what.

BOY PROVES VERY MUCH ALIVE
Although His Parents Have Mourned
Him as Dead.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-After having been
mourned as dead since early in Sep
tember, Guy Jones, II years old, has
turned UP alive and well. In a grave
at Graceland cemetery is the body of
L boy which was buried as that OF
the missing lad.

father, the boy left home. A search
by the police revealed a body resembl-
ing his floating in the river. The
features were distorted, but the par
ents believed they had identified their
som and buried the corpse as his.

COLUMBIA WAS DISAPPOINTED.
Indignation Also Felt and Some Very
Strong Expressions on Verdict.

Columbia, Oct 1.-THE announce

case caused disappointment and in
dignation here.
The length of time which the jury
was out had led to the hope that there
would be a mistrial, after which the
second trial would be favorable to the
prosecution.
There is no other topic Of conver-
sation today. One man of prominence
declared this to- be as hard blow at
the good name Of South Carolina as
the treatment Of Wade Hampton.

MANY CITIZENS
ARE INDIGNANT
-
"Foreigners" Resent the
A--ack on Emigrants
BY d Newspaper
A STRONG PETITION SIGNED
Thirty-Three Prominent Brunswick
Business Men Say They Do Not
Like the Article PubIished~S
in the Afternoon Paper.

The following communication was
handed to The News for publication
yesterday afternoon.
In connection with the matter il
seems that an article appeared in the
Journal few days ago in which q
well known business house was Sc
verely roated for endeavoring to col
lect bill from certain employe OF
the afternoon paper.
In the edition following, the Journal
took occasion in one of it's special
columns to- say a number of unkind
things of the firm in question and to
reflect in a measure ON the emmigra
tion laws, in so much as they per
mitted persons to emmigrate to this
country, who were not familiar with
the English language.
The foreign born residents of this
city (and they are among our best
inhabitants) did not relish the idea
and they seem inclined to resent il
as the following card will attest
which is printed at the request of the
signers thereto:.
We, the undersigned business men
and citizens of Brunswick, havint
noted the article in the BrunSWicl
Journal of October IA, in which til,
following paragraphs appear:
Have always, and shall continue to
advocate restricting immigration, eX
cept to American speaking people,
''Then we shall be the creates;
people in the world
We deem it our duty to CUR man
hood and citizenship to adopt thii
means os expressing our contempt
and indignation, not only Tor the wri
ter of the article in question, out fol
the newspaper that permitted sucn
insult to "a good citizenship to ap
pear in its columns.
While ii is true. some of us Wer,
not born meath the skies OF this, ou
adopted home; we have come among
you, have rislzed our lives and ou
fates with you and we believe on the
whole we make, a very good class o.
citizenry and we lay claim to that
degree Of manhood, apparently he
possessed by the writer OF the card Ii
question.
AS a further resentment of this un
called for an1 fragrant insult, and
a just rebuke to the Brunswick Jour,
nal, the newspaper that allowed ii
space, we hereby agree to discontinue
our Dscriptions and withdraw oul
advcJ 9ments from a sheet that has
no heaped ignomy ON the for
eie j people OF this city, but have
offered the traditional inheritance OF
{. great majority Of the people of this
country generally.

The Mormon Settlements in Mexico
In Them PoIy8amy is Practiced Without
Amy Attempt at ConceaIment.

Polygamy among the Mormons of
the United States is Il thing of the past,
in SO far as the open practice of the
creed is concerned. The passage of
the anti-polygamy act, better known
as the Edmunds act, accomplished this
fact. But this does not mean that the
practice has been abandoned in Amer
lea.
l believe it is safe to say that the
followers of the Mormon religion are,
as a whole, as sincere in the belief in
their creed as the members of any 9th
er religious faith in the United States,
and those who practiced polygamy did
SO only as a religious duty. When
the Edmunds act became a law, there
were three courses open to those Nor
mons who had been living polygamous
lives; first, the man with two OF more
wives might cease marital relations
with all except one, obeying the law
in good faith; second, he might en-

tons of their daughters, and the com
munities pride themselves on the good
order maintained at their social gath
erings.
While the practice Of %polygamy is
openly maintained in these colonies,
and is as stoutly defended by the wives
as by the husbands, there is no doubt
but that it is gradually dying out.
While the Mormon church teaches
that polygamy is Divinely sanctioned.
it also teaches that Mormons should
obey the law of the land, be it good
or bad; and the fear of stirring up
the Mexican authorities probably OPP
crates as q restraint. The younger
generation also realize that with the
increasing pressure of the struggle for
existence and the increasing density
of population, the practice is unsuited
to this age of the world, and the tend.
ency will be to refrain from plura1
marriages, as is but natural under
the circumstances.

No less than 5000 criminals arrive
every year, and practically none OF
them ever leave, and were it not that

The conyicts arrive in patches of 600

they subside or are dead.

or, third, he might remove his several
families to some locality where the
Edmunds law did not apply.
Many Mormons naturally rebelled
at the thought of abandoning any of
their wives; they were also too hon
est to secretly disobey the law, so
there was but one Course left open to
them, to leave the jurisdiction of the
United States. Their eyes naturally
turned to Mexico, and representatives
of the church We're dispatched to the
City of Mexico to make Investigations.
Assurances were received from the
government there that if the polyga-

lives, obeying all the other laws, their
family relations would not be inter-
