All of the officers Of the associa-
tion are present. The board of di-

$3.50 o'clock.
The feature of the evening session
will be lecture by Marvin Will

American Small Boy" which is said
to be complete with wit and eloquence.
A pleasing innovation at the even
ing session will be physical culture

Hawkinsville public schools, under the
direction of Superintendent N. E.
Ware.
Music for the convention will be
furnished by an orchestra of twelve
pieces. This orchestra is also COM
posed of pupils of the Hawkinsville
public schools.
very interesting feature of the
convention is an exhibition of manuel
work from the pupils from the Glynn
county schools, consisting of clay MOD
cling, free hand drawings and baskets
woven from fbrous materials, all of
which show wonderful degree OF
skill when the ages of the children
ptforming the work are considered.
This interesting exhibit is in charge
of Misses McKinnon and Butts, of the
Brunswick public schools, and they
are kept busy showing this exhibit
to interested crowds
Owing to the absence of NJ. L. Brit
tain, of Atlanta, tonight's program will
necessarily, be changed, but who will
be substituted in his place has not
yet been announced.
There are $50 teachers already in
attendance from all parts OF the state,
including some of Georgias most dis.
tlnguished educators and over 200 are
expected tomorrow, and this bids fair
to be the most successful convention
ever held.

DelgrfVte, JuGe 23.-The position

TO ESTABLISH LINE
Boats to be Again Oper-
ated OF the Alta
maha River.

A river transportation line is to be
again established between Brunswick
and Macon on the Ocmulgee river,
and the following from the Macon Tel
egraph Of yesterday will be of interest
to our readers.
A definite movement has been made
under the auspices Of the chamber Of
commerce to inaugurate a river trans
portation line. A steamboat of $50
tons burthen, loaded with scrap iron
and shingles, is on its way to Macon,
1t left Temperance landing, below
Hawkinsville, Saturday night
While it is an experimental venture
on the part Of the owner, 1t will lead
to important results. The shippers
Of Macon have been anxious for a long
time to utilize the navisable advan-
tages of the Ocmulgee river to secure
rail and water line freight rates. They
believe that Macon's commercial fu-
turc will be fav0rably determined, if
such result can be attained.
The government has expended thou
sanss of dollars in the past four years
to improve the channel of the river,
so as to enable boats to ply the river
the year round between Macon and the
the Altamaha.
The government engineers have
given the assurance that three feet
OF water can be maintained with the
system Of jetties which have been
built at summer stage Of the river.
Captain l. B. English has been a
Consistent advocate Of river navigation.
He says: ut is the key to the sit
uaton that confronts Macon" He
maintains that II will increase the
| volume Of traffic to be distributed
| form Macon, and more than cOmpen-
safe the railroads for reducing rates.
The Inauguration Of river trans
| portation line IS not a new project, In
1897 men prominently identified with
! the chamber Of commerce took up
the project and through their exer-
tons the City Of Macon" was built
and the feasibility of running steam
boats on the river practically demon
5tratod
1t wa through the energetic persist.
euce of the same men that an appro-
priation Of $l58,00o was secured for
the permanent Improvement Of the
river channel thus laying the tounda
ton for a successful river transpor
| alton line.

The city court judgeship race is

Governor Terrell, it is said has an.

therefore, the candidates still have
three weeks to work, and from now

IOWA DEMOCRATS,
Fight Over Kansas City
Platform Looked at
the Convention.

Des Moines, Iowa, June 23.-The
democratic state convention here to
morrow will be amOrg the most inter
esting contests in the political history
of the commonwealth.
Delegates are all here today for the
preliminary skirmish and the corrid
ers of the Savery hotel echo with the
hum of political discussion.
While those in favor of the reaf
firmation of the Kansas City platform
and the element radically opposed tc
such action are pursuing a vigorous
button-hole campaign to enlist recruits
under respective banners some of the
wheel horses of the party are at work
in the interest of harmony.
If their efforts prevail something
in the shape of a compromise will be
patched up, the money issue will be
ignored and the battle will be fought
out along the line OF government
ownership and the tariff question.
From present indications, however
it looks very much like there will be
a fight about the Kansas City platform
in spite of the work OF the peace
makers.
One Of the leading democrats of the
state said this afternoon that he eX-
pected a hard fight and that the re-
affirmation of the Kansas City plat
form would be defeated,
The convention VIII consist OF 1858
delegates and will be called to order
at noon. s. H. Quick, of Kansas City
will be temporary chairman.

Crack Baseball Team will
Be Here for Three
Games.
FIRST GAME TOMORROW
This Little Georgia City Has an Ex-
celIent Team and the Games Are
Expected to All be Very In
teresting Ones.

We will have more baseball this
week, which will probably prove more
interesting than the ones seen last
week.
The crack Cordele team, which has
been defeating every club that they
have played, will be here Thursday,
Friday and Saturday for three games
with the locals.
Cordele was in the Southeast
ern but a few deys ago decided
to pull out, therefore these dates
were secured by Manager Cole
man. The Cordele team is
playing Tifton today and will ar
rive in the city in the morning.
The three games are expected to be
very interesting ones. The local team
has been practicing since the games
last week and are in better trim, but
they certainly have a hard proposition
in the Cordele team.

and officials have aheady engaged
rooms at the hotel and will be there

will live at Lithia Springs during the

to look after the duties of the Office.
The bulk of the labor will be perform

Northern will keep supervision over

he is by no means equal to arduous
duties and it is doubtful of he will
be for some time.
Besides the many legislators who

also filled with politicians, who are
here to work for their respective can

-%---
Few BrunsWiCkians Even
Knew Robinson was
Interested.

NOW Thought That the Road is
Straight" Again and That No
More Changes Will Occur in
the Near Future.

The announcement in the News yes
terday of the reorganization of the
brunswick and Birmingham Railroad
Company in New York, came as a
complete surprise to the people of
Brunswick.
While many of our citizens expected
news of some nature from New York
few thought that Macnen was going
to get back in control Just at this
time, and the impression seemed to
prevail here that President Fairbairn
was going to remain at the head of
nut few people who even knew that he
had sold his interest surprised many
of those in close touch with the affairs
Iof the company.
Probably the greatest surprise of
the entire organization meeting was
the election of Mr. Robinson to the
presidency of the road There were
but few people who evn knew that he
had been to the city and INSPECTED the
line, and probably not half dozen
people knew that he was being consid-
Tered in connection with the presidency.
Mr., Robinson was here with Col. Ma
chen on his last visit, but was not
given out that he was here for the
purpose Of inspecting the road. in
fact there were but few people who
knew he was in the city at all
From what we can learn of the new
president of the B. & B. he is a good
railroad man, and those in position

occurring 50 RAPIDLY Of late, that it
is rather hard to predict what will
occur next and the people of Buns
wick will only have to wait and watch
1t is understood, not officially, how
ever, that Col. Machen and President
Robinson and others will be in the
city the latter part Of next week.
