THE HEAVY RAIN
RUINED ROADS
-
REPORTED TO BE IN A
DEPLoRABLE CONDI-
TION.
REPAIRS ARE BADLY NEEDED
The County convicts Will Probably
Be Put to Work on Them
IS Soon as Pos ~
sible.

The roads of Glynn county need
attention, and the quicker they gel
1T the better Reports from all
parts of the county state that the
recent rain has played havoc and
some of the roads are almost unfit
for travel
In the 1449th district probably the
worst conditions prevail, While the
27th is also hard hit. The roads of
the latter district have had only two
weeks attention during the past two
years, and this caused the roads to
be in bad shape. But when the rain
OF the past two weeks got in it's work
it just put it out of business.
The News is informed that the shell
roads of the county are also sorely
in need of attention and unless they
get it they will get so bad it will take
double the time and expense to repair
them
1t is more than probable that the
Glynn county convicts will soon be
sent TO the county again to repair the
roads.
The News is under the impression
that the gang was only brought here
for a period of 80 days, and it has
already been here that long, 1t is
said that the present grand jury will
recommend that the convicts be sent

CITATION MEETS
TODAY.

The Southeastern Tariff association
meets at Old Point Comfort, Va,
today and some the most import
ant subjects that have ever been
before the association will GONE
up for discussion Chief among
these will be the situation as it re-
lates to the insurance of cotton.
The committee appointed some time
ago to consider the cotton situation
met two days in advance of the gen
eral meeting and have their report
ready to submit when the whole body
meets Thursday.
For some years past the marine
companies have been doing the bulk
of the cotton insurance, owing to
their ability to offer larger induce
ments to the owners of the staple,
and it is for that reason that the
meeting at Old Point will take up
this matter especially.
The regular stock fire companies
can only insure cotton when it has
feached the ship upon which it is to
to be sent to other points or abroad,
and this limitation confines their
work to IA very small portion of the
cotton insurance business.
On the otner hand, the marine com
panies can insure from the time the
cotton bale leaves the gin right at
the farm house door, to the time it
is landed in Liverpool, or wherever
else it may be shipped to, and it also
includes insurance against what is
technically known as farm loss" and
damage any other kind The stock
companies are confined to insure
against fire alone, even after the cot
ton has Deeu placed on the ship, while
the marine companies are allowed
great latitude and can insure against
almost anything that happen to the
article.
This difference is the two classes
Of companies on the south's principal
product has caused considerable loss
to the companies Of the Southeastern
Tariff association, and every effort
will be made at the meeting this year
to provide a remedy for the trouble.

Less Than Estimated
Supt. w. B. Denham, of the Atlantic
Coast Line returned to Savannah yes
terday after a weeks absence, during
a part of which time he was in Jack
sonville, where he inspected the yards
to see what damage had been done
by the recent storm and flood
According to the Savannah News
he says that the Coast Line system
got out of the trouble very well, in
deed, inasmuch as the damage done in
the yards and on the road will not
amount to more than from $500 to
$500, this, in spite of the fact that
it was estimated in Jacksonville that
the loss was near $4,000 1t is true
that the yards were well filled with
with water hyacinths. Suet. Dc1ham
says, and that they had to be carried
out by the carload, but the expense of
moving them will not fall on the At
lantic Coast Line, as the terminals
are owned by separate company and
this company will have to stand the
expense

full Mishap.

SS'' " NJ OltJ WIN difl-
full Mishap.
The Waycross Herald of yesterday
has the following. which will be of
interest as Mr. Gray is an Brunswick
citizen
Walter. the Is year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. G. w Gray, who resides on
Gilmore street, was accidentally shot
in the arm this morning The ball
entered the left wrist, and ranging
up the arm, came out near the elbow.
The accident occurred early this morn
ing, and Walter was alone on Gilmore
street when the pistol exploded.
1t is mystery as to how the pistol
came into the possession of Wal
ter. He and his brother, Orin, OBJ
tanned ii yesterday from some one,
paying $5 for the weapon.
They refuse to tell, however, who
they bought it from The injury is
very painful and in all probability will
cause a still arm for some tine to
come.

THE INGRAM CASE
STILL ON TRIAL
A VERY STUBBORN FIGHT is NOW
BEING WAGED IN GLYNN.
SUPERIOR COURT.
DAY DEVOTED TO The TRIAL
Suit Against the Hilton-Dodqe Lun,-
Der Company is Attract
ing Attention of
Court.

The case of Ingram, VS.. the Hill.
ton-Dodge Lumber company occupied
the entire day in Glynn superior court
yesterday, and has not yet been fin
ished. The case is one of those knot
ty problems, involving a mass Of tcs-
tlmony, and is being stubhornly fought
by the attorneys in the matter.
In August, 1894, the plaintiff, at that
time an employee in the mills of The
defendant company, at St Simon. was
hurt by some of the machinery of the
mill which he claims was due to the
carelessness Of thd company in nbt pro-
Niding the proper implements etc.
necessary TO do the work For this in
jury, which, it is alleged so seri.
Gus IL its nature that the plaintiff
has, since that time, been almost un-
able to earn a living for himself and
family All of these facts are natly
denied by the defendants, who claim
that the accident was due solely to
the carelessness of the plaintiff, who
is, and was at that time incompe-
tent.
Messrs. w. E. Kay and e. IA
-----~.,uurrrHg the case for the
defendants and D. W. Krauss and w.
", IoomsFef Mayerzss Azzs s:ssss
Seafing fhe Plaintiff
The Erff witness called for the
plaintiff was Prince Arnold, former
employee of the company, who proved
to be rather intelligent negro and
told very straight story. Arnold
thought the accident was in no wise
the fault of the plaintiff and blamed
the defendants for it. He was famil-
lar with the workings Of the mill, and
though severely cross-questioned by
Congressman Brantley, he did not
swerve an inch from his testimony
on the direct.
J. M. Harris was the next wit
ness, but his testimony was not very
matetial. The evidence of Messrs.
w. M Baker and A W. Corker de-
livered at the previous trial Of the
case was, by cons ent, introduced,
both of these witnesses being out of
the city
Later in the day the plaintiff was
put on the stand and in very i'm
pressive manner he told of the acci-
dent, how it occurred and its results.
He was severely crossed questioned
by counsel for the defendants.
During the afternoon the evidence for
the defendants was introduced and
it was in striking contrast TO that
offered in the forenoon. Several wit
nesses were examined and all OF them
were of the opinion that the cause
of the accident was purely with the
plaintiff.
The work OF taking testimony is
not yet finished and it is more than
likely that the trial OF the case will
consume all OF taday.

noon.

tests on the fight was very good ma
tured one, and tonight the newly elect
ed officers are being toasted on all
sides, and the very best humor ex-
lists.
The main fight was for the Office of
keeper of records and seals, in which
Messrs. w. H. Leopold, of Savannah,
and Roland Alston, of Atlanta, were
the candidates. Early in the day it
was seen that the Savannah man had
the best of it, and when the final vote
was taken Leopold was the winner by
about 100 votes.
In the other spirited contest for the
Office of grand outer guard, neither of
the announced candidates landed,and
the office went to Judge John P. Ross,
of Macon, who was candidate for the
Office Of grand vice chancellor and who
was defeated by ]. A. Jones, of Way
cross.
The entire result of the election
of officers was as follows:
G. c., G. M Milan, Gainesville.
G. V.sC., J A. Jones, Waycross.
# G. P.r w H Brannen, Buena Vista.
OF q and s, w ii Leopold sa

gusta.
G. 1. G., D. j. Bailey, Griffin.
G. o. G., J. P. Ross, Macon.
In the uniform rank prize drill the
Savannah company won the first prize
although the individual trophy went
to the Augusta team.
The people of Atlanta on the whole
have been more than courteous to the
members of the order and this ses-
sion of the grand lodge will so on re-
cord as one of the pleasantest as well
as one of the most interesting the or
der has ever held,
The next meeting of the grand
lodge will be held in Albany and that
city deserves to be congratulated on
the splendid complement paid to it
by the order.
1t can be said that Mr.. Max Isaas,
of Brunswick, made a splendid race
for the Office to which he aspired, and
while he did not land in the office
himself he succeeded in defeating
his direct opponent, r. L. j. Smith, OF
Jefferson. After Mr.. Smith retired
from the race a conference OF the
friends of the other candidate was
held and it was finally agreed to in
troduce a dark horse. Here it was
that John P. Ross, of Macon, was
nominated and was unanimously elect
ed.
1t is announced here tonight that
Mr.. Isaac will at an early date be
offered the position of assistant
Judge advocate, on the staff of Gen.
Cox, which carries with ii the title
of colonel.
The memebers of the Brunswick
delegation who are in the city Will
leave for their homes this evening.
All in all the meeting has been a
very delightful one and this evening
the entire city is given over to the
true spirit of the order and the colors
are being honored in all sections OF
the city.

HEARD
GILL CASE TAKEN UP IN SUPER
IcR COURT OVER PROTEST
OF THE CITY.

The case of Lewis Gill, VS. the City
of Brunswick, was heard by the SUI
preme court yesterday upon the
briefs submitted by Messrs. r. E.
Dart for Gill and F. e. Twitty for
the city This is a decided victory
for Mr.. Dart in view of the fact that
Mr.. Twitty, attorney for the city had
filed with the supreme court mo-
ton to vacate the assignment and to
hear the case upon the ground that
it was a civil case and could not be
heard before the October term, 1903.
Mr.. Dart took the position that it was
not a civil case, but a criminal one,
or a quasi criminal one, and one
that should be tried upon criminal
rules, and the supreme court held
that Il "a aseaFS z
III on its merits
This first victory for Mr.. Dart in
the supreme court gives assurance
that the case will, upon final trial, be
reversed, and this is exactly what Mr.
Dart has contended all along; and
from the decision holding the case
to be criminal it looks as if he will
win out finally. lii the meantime
the case is watched with great inter
est by the public generally
