distressing accident yesterday when

sevcn-year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Brewer, of Douglas, who to,

Waycross row, fell fro mthe ocean
pier and was drowned. The facts
leading up to the sad affair are mea-
ger and hard to learn. 1t seems that
Mn and Mrs Brewer were called up
to the city ON the early morning
boat to attend to some mission and
left the little fellow in charge of
other cottagers. 1t appears that
Ward, in company with the little son
of Mr and Mrs. A, d. Gale, left the
row of cottages after the departure
of the boat for Brunswick and stray
ed down to the pier. Shortly after
wards visitors were astounded with
the Information that young Brewer

The Peoples Candidate for Governor
ExpIodes Some FaiIacies-TeIls
Tie Local Dealers Where
They Will Save Money.

Over Jealous campaign orators have
been telling the people of BrunsWicF
a whole lot that they did not know
about the port rates here of late
Some of the beat-Hoka

the stump, through the mails and

proposed system Of port rates WoHlc
work a hardship on the MERCHANTS
OF BRUNSWICK AND WOULD PRE-
VENT THEM FROM JUST COMPET
ITION WITH THE DEALERS IN
OTHER CITIES.
1t has proven to be like a number
of fallacies introduced in the pres
ent campaign and in order that the
contention 'bf Mr.. Smith may get
properly before the people The News
desires to state that a well known

tion OF just how the system of rates
referred to would operate in refer.
ence to Brunswick
The letter of Mr.. Smith, which is
short. but very full of meat, is as
f2llpws;
"The port rate fight Is simply an
effort to compel the railroad 'mpan,
les to give lower rates from the ports
to interior points.
"The railroads. in combination witt
certain steamship lines, receive GER
tain rates on different classes of
freight. If freight is brought to Bruins
wick or Savannah by indepencert
boats, the railroad commission oer,
mits the RAILROADS TO charge about
ene-third more tina nthe railroads re,
eeive when the freight is brounht 20
our ports by the steamboats, alonc
with which they are in combination
~ insist that the railroad commits
sion should reduce the rates from our
ports to all interiour points and COM
pei the owners to charge no higher
rates when an independent vessel
brings the freight to Brunswick or
Savannah than they charge when the
lines with which they are in combin-
alton bring the freight
"'The effect of this reduction of
rates would be to give far better rates
all over Georgia to the jobbing trade
Of Brunswick and Savannah. Nothing
could be done tor either of these cit
les that would help them SO much. 1t
would also bring independent ships
into our ports.
~ will speak In Savannah next Sat.
urday night and go into the subject

If there is a business man, ship
per, a wholesale merchant or any
other class of commercial people in
this city who cannot fail to appreciate
this position of Hoke Smith, the peo
Pies candidate for governor?

WHY P0PULISM EVER EXISTED
The Judge Thinks That All Populsts
are Necessarily Democrats ana
Explains Why the Now De-
funct Party Was Formed.

MI Editor: In communication
from Patterson resident to Way.
cross paper quoted or referred to i'm
Monday afternoons S paper, it is stated
that when Mr.. BYantley closed his
Offerman speech Mr. jeff Dickson
who. the article fairly mtimatcs. is or
was populist, yelled vote for Hoke
Smith, fellows. we have a chance to
get back into power, vote for Hoke
Shith,'' and then the article quotes
that contributor as saying: what
did Mr.. Dickson mean by that we
have a chance to get back into power?'
Evidently the author suggests that
Mr.. Dickson meant that populists hau
that chance, but the inference or de-
ductiOn, seems to be not fair or reas-
enable. because the populist have at
no time 'been in power in GGeorgia
and hence could not get back into
power because one can't get back into
that which he has not been in before
Now, had Mr.. Dickson said: I'VE
have chance to get in power, there
might have been cause for the ques-
tion, even alarm, to those sensitive
nervous members of the party who
take fright every time a populist
changes his tobacco. But the demo
Gratis have been in power long and
strong In Georgia. Mr.. Dickson, like
the great host of the populist party
in Georgia, had been a democrat.
They, these pOpulists. were giving
promise of coming back" into the
democratic party, coming back into
the fathers tGuse, coming back to
stay, This, Mr. Dickson must have
known, must have hoped for. Some
people have advised the populist not
TO vote i'll our primary, hut to sty
out, and, reasonably, Mr. Dickson
wanted them to come back, so his adj
vice to his neighbors WAS vote, vote
for HOke Smith. He knew that when
they did this they would be home
again, members OF the old marty once
more. He knew what party was in
power, un1 he know the lcpul sLs wto
became members of 1t. nv vltasc of
their membership in and association
with it, would be also in power, back
in power.
And just here, Mr., Editor, let m esay
to you that some OF the best men
that ever belonged to the democratic
party became members of the popu-
list party, not because they desirea
to desert it, but because they wore
driven from 1t by the unbearabe,

fifteen year or thereabout8, has dom
