TWO NEW TRAINS
ON THE SOUTHERN
-
Will Be Put on Today
m BetWee1 Brunswick

CONNECT WITH PALM LIMITED
Train Win Leave Here at II O'clock
and Make cIoce Connection With
southern Fast "Jekyl Island
Route" Train.

Effective today two new trains will
be inaugurated on the Southern rail
way in, and out of Brunswick, and. by
the addition of the trains, the travel
ing public is enabled to connect at Jes
up with the famous Palm Limietd
through from New York to ST. Angus
tine, which is also known as the Jekyl
Island route.
The new train will leave Brunswick
at IL o'clock noon, arriving at Jesup
in time to make close connection with
the Palm Limited. The train returns
later in the afternoon, making con.
nections with trains northbound.
The inauguration of this new train
practically means the opening of the
Jekyl Island club, as most of the
northern guests always come via this
Palm Limited train, from where it al,
so gets the name The Jekyl Island
route"
The passenger schedule of the South
ern railway in and out of Brunswick
at present is better than it has been
in many years, and the people of the
city appreciate the good service this
well known railroad is giving us.

School Commissioner Merritt Announ
Gee Money will be Distributed.
The following is taken from the At
lanta Constitution of yesterday:
State School Commissioner w. B
Merritt yesterday announced that the
last 40 per cent of the school fund for
the year 1903 would be paid during the
week beginning January 1S.
There will be paid out at that time
between 100000 and 100000, which
will be an average of about $50 or $50
for every teacher in the state. The
payments will not be made on Jan.
uary 18, as it will take several days to
draw and sign all the checks, but
Commissioner Merritt hopes to have
all the checks sent out by the end
of that week.
A great many counties have already
paid their teachers, borrowing the
money from banks to do so. Some
counties negotiate these loans from
Atlanta banks and the checks sent to
them will be endorsed by the county
school superintendent at once and re
turned to the banks holding the coun-
ty's note.

STILL CHANCE TO AVERT
CONFLICT IN FAS EAST

Paris, January 9.-It is learned that
in the opinion of the French govern.
ment there is still "a chance Of avert
ing a conflict between Russia and
! Japan, as a result OF a concession
made by Russia is her latest note, The
dispatches which have come to- Paris
from all quarters today have been
most pessimistic and the hopefulness
of the government is in strong contrast
with them. 1t appears that Ruesia's
concessions relates to the recognition
of the preponderance Of the interest
OF japan in Korea. This has been
the crux of the question between the
two powers up to the present moment.
Just how far the concession goes 1t
is impossible to- learn, but the effect
in Tokia, according to the informa-
tion obtained has been more satisfact.
ory than the press dispatches show
and it is believed the negotiations
/ will continue.
In connection with Russia's conces'
| sions a curious and at the same time
an authoritative story is told referring
to the cause Of the developments OF
the present situation. 1t appears that
a Misunderstanding occurred between
Viceroy Alexieff and the Russian gov

said to clear up the situation, but
whether it recognizes Japanese pre-
ponderating interests in Korea is moi
known here.

Prescribed by Regula-

GEN. CHAFFEE SUCCEEDS HIM
New Chief Of the General staff Hss
the Distinction of Having Risen
From the Ranks to Head
of the Army.

Washington, d C, Jan. 9.-Lieut.
Gen, S. M B. Young, having reached
the age limit prescribed by the regula.
tion6, was today retired from active
service and Major General Adna r,
Chaffee was sworn in to succeed him
as the chief OF the general stafr,
The formal ceremony took place In
the presence Of Secretary of War Root
and number of the highest officials of
the war department and prominent of.
ticers OF the army. Subsequently the
new chief of the general staff was TAX
en- on a tour of the department and
formally introduced to the heads of
the various bureaus.
Lieut.-Gen. Adua r. Chaffee. the
new chief Of the general staff, has the
distinction OF having risen from the
ranks to the head of the army. His
rise may be attributed to the con.
slant display OF ,soldierly qualities
blended with rare good fortune. He
came into special prominence as COM
mander of brigade that took a lead
ing rart in the battle of I'll Caney dur,
ing the war with Spain and later he
distinguished himself as commander
of the American troops in China i'll
the troublous times following the
Boxer" uprising.
General Chaffee was born in Ohio
in April, 1912, and entered the ser.
vice as private in the Sixth Cavalry
in July, 1861. Two years later he
was commissioned second lieutenant,
| becoming a first Lieutenant in Febru-
airy, 1865. He WON his first lieutenan-
cy on the battlefield Of Gettysburg,
and was moved up to tho grade OF
captain for gallant service at Dinwid-
die Courthouse. Subsequent promo,
tion to the rank af major and of lieu,
tenant colonel, successfully were
earned in engagements with In
dians in Texas and Arizona. He also
served at one time as inspector gen
eral with General MCCooK, and later
still as subdirector Of the cavalry
school at Fort Riley, Kan.

The emperor inspected the Imper

brigades of artillery, numbering in

WOODS ON FIRE.
FLAT CARS BURN
-
B. & B. Lose Two or Three
Cars in a Blaze
Yesterday
CROSSTIES ALSO BURNED
Woods a Few Miles from the City
Were Burning and Flames Soon
Reached Oyster Factory Side
Track of 8. & 9.

Quite serious fire occurred out in
the woods yesterday between the oys
ter factory and the main line Of the
Brunswick and Birmingham railroad
and, as result, two or three fiat cars
were destroyed by the fire, while 1t
is stated that number OF crossties
were also burned.
Just what set the woods ON fire is not
known, and it was not discovered un-
til the flames had reached the cars,
which were lying on the oyster factory
side track of the B. & B.
AS soon as the cars were discovered
on fire B. G B. officials in the city
were notifiedfi and an engine and a
large crew were at once dispatched
to the scene Of the confiagration, and
had it not been for the prompt ar.
rival of the engine, probably dozen
OF more box and freight cars would
have been destroyed.
Two or three cars were on fire when
the engine arrived and the engine
backed up into the blaze and coupled
the cars and pulled the entir number
out. 1t is stated that in few more
minutes the fire would have burned
the cars and pulled the entire number
would probably have been destroyed.
1t is the general opinion that the
woods were set on fire by tramps, who
were probably awaiting a train, and
it is fortunate that more damage was
not done to- the cars.
1t il understood that the crosstiee
burned were owned by H. s. Nc.
