] Sydney Roberts, Of tho Atlanta
Pharmacy, who is in charge of sub
station No l, established in Bruns-
wick on July first, yesterday render
ed to Postmaster Brown his statement
for the first months business at the
sub station, and the statement was in
deed marvellous one.
There are but few people in Bruins,
wick who would think that during
the first month Mr.. Roberts handled
at the sub station very near $1,000
worth of business. Iii fact to have
transacted three or four hundred dol.
lors in business during the first month
would have been an excellent showing
bat the figures show that the total
volume of business amounted to exact,
ly $919,90, divided as follows:
Money orders ....l......... .S676. SO
Sale of stamps ......... 243.37
oIaI -...........,..... .$919.90
This is an enormous amount of bus.
ines to handle during the first month
that the station has been established
and is best evidence of the fact that
such a station was badly needed in
Brunswick and accommodates large
number of the citizens who reside in
the southern portion of the city
Mr.. Roberts has been daily expect
ing desk for the store bnt it has
not yet arrived, and there is nothing
in the store as yet to indicate chat il
is a sub postotiice station, and except
for the fact that it has been published
in the papers, people would not have
been aware that stamps, etc, could be
secured there. The desk in question
is expected at an early dat aud will
be placed in the center of the store
The Brunswick sub station indeed
starts out under bright auspices and
promises to be big success. The first
months business was larger than
Postmaster Brown or Mr. Roberts ex-
pected the fourth, fifth or even the
sixth nSAth's business to be.

circulation to the effect tha, before
the end OF the current year the
Santa Fe will be a Southern Paci-

the two companies will be operated
in the closest harmony and prac-
tically as Integral parts OF one
system. The 500, 900. 900 million

IT lars upon our sensitive nerves
to learn that the organs OF demo
cracy do not approve of the repub
lican platform. They criticise and
say many displeasing things con-
cerning that great state paper Of
republican principles. II is SO
unusual, and novel, too, Tor demo-
cratic organs to criticise republi-
can policies. We haven't heard
of such a thing-since the last
political campaign. The fact is
the republican party doesn't need
much of platform this year of
grace. About the only political
issue is Theodore Roosevelt, and
not much of anything else. The
only question for the American
people to decide in November is,
'Po you want Theodore Roose.

more1" He has proven equal to
the solution of every problem that
has arisen during his administra
ton. His life is marked by a
consuming passion to be useful
and to be just. He is not only
strenuous" but en- the "dead
thievin' square," requirements that
he insists upon aud expects from
every other public servant. He
has proved this abundantly and
the American people know it.

TERRIBLE TURK
 AT LAST DEFEATED
HE ADOPTED FOUL TACTICS IN THRUSTlNG FINGERS UP THE NosTRILS OF THE RUSS, AND HIS ARM WAS DISLocATED.

London, January S0.--A Graeco-Roman wrestling match at the Olympia tonight for the championship of the world, a purse of $1o,000 and side bet of $5oo, George Hackenschmidt Russian, won the first fall in one minute from Ahamed Madrali, Turk. Madralfs arm was dis located at the elbow and Hackenschmidt was declared the winner of the bout.
 The Olympia was crowded by thousands of Londoners, whose interest had been aroused by reports concerning the prepar- ations of the match. At the ring side the betting was to on Madrali. When time was called both men spared for an opening. Hackenschmidt slipped in, se- cured neck hold. and Madrali took a like hold over the arms of the Russian. He quickly shifted, however, and tried to break the hold of the Russian by driving his finger nails into his opponents nos trils. with the object of forcing his head back Hackenschmidt shifted his hold like lightning and caught the Turks wrist. In trying to force his arm around for a back hammer Madralis arm was disiocated at the elbow. The Russian then threw Madrali heavily, while the Turk was barely able to resist, owing to his injury. The referee quickly declared the point pin fall. The actual time Of the bout was forty-ene seconds.

CAN SCHOOL TEACHER
 WEAR RED NECKTIE
German Court Decides That Such cra- vat Is UndignifIed and Sub
 Ject to Criticism.

Berlin, January 30.-A prolonged litiga- tion as to whether there Is any impropri- ety of an upper teacher in high school wearing red necktie as the issue, came to an end today at Plauen, Saxony, by the court deciding that such cravat Is at least undigniied, even if not intended by the wearer as socialistic emblem.
 Dr.. Weirder, the offender in question. wore a red tie as he ayers inadvertently to a school picnic, and thereupon the Pauen Anzeiger criticized him severely as an improper person to teach the youth of the city.
 He sued for damages and the court, in deciding against Dr. Weirder, said the ed- itor was quite within his functions when he disapproved of red neckwear, which, in Germany, is considered to indicate rev. olutionary principles on the part of the wearer.

MRS. MAVERICK IS RELEASED
 FROM HER ENGLISH PRISON
NEGRO ATTEMPTS MURDER
 OF WOMAN AND HER CHILD


 Roanoke, Va, January 3O.-When George Shields, well known young bus mess man. reached his home in the heart of the city at the luncheon hour today, he found his three-year-old daughter, Mildred, lying in a pool of blood on the reception hall floor with two ugly wounds in her head. Following blood stains from the dining room to an upstairs chamber, he found his wife lying in pool of blood on a closet floor, with her throat cut from ear to ear. and her head terribly hacked. Mrs. Shields managed to speak as fol- lows:
 "A big black negro man came through the kitchen and attacked me in the din- ing room"
 As yet there is no clew to the criminal. Mrs. Shields had been outraged, after which her assailant dealt her several blows with a hatchet, fracturing her skull dragged her upstairs. where he cut her throat with razor and threw her
