NATIONAL MAKES
FINE SHOWING
NOVEL FEATURES BROUGHT OUT
IN STATEMENT OF NATIONAL
BANK IN THIS ISSUE.

Elsewhere in the Jews this morning
will be found very attractive half
page advertisement of the National
Bank of Brunswick containing state
ment of the condition of this well
known institution at the close of bus
mess July Is. The statement is q
thoroughly satisfactory one to th-se
interested in the National, and reflects
great credit upon the efficient manage
ment of the bank. However, the very
strong feature of the advertisement
in question and new departure that
ought to be appreciated by the public
is to be found in the analysis of both
the resources and liabilities of the
bank in such a simplified manner that
lit is easily understood by the average
reader. 1t is no easy matter to read
the ordinary bank statement, though
they are published very frequently and
Cashier Walter has hit upon a plan
whereby the patrons of the bank and
others may at once become familiar
with the condition of the institution
Read it over carefully and then note
the magnificent condition of the Ma
tional bank.

THIS NEGRO ASKS
PREACHER TO HIS
OWN EXECUTION
TO HANG IN RAxLEY TOMORROW
WANTS BRUNSWICK PARSoN
AT THE EXERCISES.
Neal Royals Charged With Assaulting
Mrs. Overstreet to Go to the
GaIloWs Tomorrow-Wriles
to LEGAL Minister.

That Neal Royals, the negro under
tack upon Mrs. Overstreet, of Appling
county, proposes to have all the cere.
mony possible when he is hung at
Baxley tomorrow is shown by letter
lsent to a we'll known negro minister
of this city, Rev. B. T. Keith. Royals,
lit is claimed, has given up all hope of
a second reprieve, and has prepared
flor the end. He still claims that he
is innocent of the CRIME for which
Ihe was convicted. That the negro
was not taken from the officers and
lynched was solely due, it is claimed,
to the influence of several Appling cit
liens to let the law take it's course.
The details of the fearful crime are
still fresh in the minds of readers of
| the News.
Preacher Keith stated last night
THAT he would go to Baxley tonight
and would preach Royals funeral SER
mon. For this is one privilege given
to the condemned man. that Of hear
ing and attending his own funeral
services. The drop will fall few
minutes later by which Royals will
make his final exit
The invitation to the preacher to
attend the execution and to officiate is
as follows:
Baxley, Ga, July 20, 1908.
Rev. B. T. Keith, Brunswick, Ga.
Dear Sir-I will write you, my
brother in the love of Christ. am
well at this time, and truly hope you
will be present at my execution on
July %, fs0S, between hours of eleven
and three o'clock. I want you to
come and see about preaching my
funeral exercises before my execution.
Please let all of my cousins and sis
tiers know of it.

MUTUAL MATTER
CONES UP AGAIN
MAY BE UP BEFORE COUNCIL AT
ITS MEETING TOMORROW
NIGHT.

The city council will hold an i'm
'portant meeting tomorrow evening,
that is. it will be important fer the
reason that it is believed that the
long standing muddle between the city
and the Mutual Light and Water COM
|Paay will again make its appearance
before council in the shape of an ad-
|dItional report from the auditors who
have been going over the books Of
the c.npany for, some tine.
As is pretty well known, these gen
tiSmen had finished their work and in
the subsequent matter of adjusting
the differences between tae munich
pality and the corporation some new
Icat tars % difference arc e, which
made it necessary for the second COM
ling of the gentlemen Of figures.
Now it is understood that they are
ready tc submit another report, it is
believed that the question of getting
down to a basis of rates acceptable
to all parties and a contract for ten
or more years for trolley purposes
are cubject matters that may come
lup for consideration at this meeting.
Another matter of interest that will
come out at the meeting is the semi
annual report Of the doings of the
city, which the News understands is
la splendid one, under present financial
conditions.

TIMBER MARKET UP.
Heavy Demand For Sawn Timber ir
Pensacola

Pensacola, July 21.-The sawn tim
ber market at Pensacola is now high
er and the demand greater than it
has been in a number Cf months, or
since the reaction occurred nearly
six months ago. Whether the change
in market conditions is due to for
egn demand or simply to local con-
d.tions has not yet been explained, but
the fact remains that during the past
week the market has advanced about
2 cents per foot on averages Of thirty
feet and up, and the demand indicates
a still greater rise. 1t is the general
belief that the foreign markets, hav-
ing become depleted after months
OF light exports of timber, have final
ly reached the conclusion that the
timber could not be secured without
advancing prices, and this solely is
the reason of the local market making
such perceptible advance. For many
weeks prior the prices have been down
lower than known in many years, and
the demand was off to such an extent
that little timber was sent to mar
