DAVE, S. ATKINSON
IS NAMED JUDGE
APPOINTED BY GOVERNOR
Brown JUDGE OF CITY
COURT OF ST. MARYS.

Dave 8. Atkinson, son of DR.. D.
D. Atkinson, and former well-known
young Brunswick attorney now of
Savannah, was yesterday appointed
judge of the city court of st. Marys
by Governor Brown. News of the
appointment of the young attorney
was received in the city yesterday
afternoon.
Since the death of former Judge
D. P. Rose there has been no judge
of the tribunal, owing to the fact
that there was not an attorney in
Camden county qualified for the posi-
ton. 1t was necessary to get the
act creating the court amended be-
fore an appointment could be made.
This amendment was passed last
week, and friends of the young at
torney at once went to work in his
behalf. ~.
Mr.. Atkinson is a Brunswick boy,
having been reared in this city. Sew
eral years ago he entered the law
class of Mercer, from which college
he was graduated a few years later.
He then returned to Brunswick, where
he practiced law for a short time,
removing to Camden county and later
removing from there to Savannah.
Mr.. Atkinson's many Brunswick
friends will congratulate him upon
the appointments, and he will rank
among the youngest judges in the
state.

Atlanta, Aug. 6.-Ry a vote of 2s
to 6. the senate yesterday passed the
bill by Senator Rutherford, Of the
Twenty-second district, giving rail-
roads the right to condemn property
for the purpose of double tracking
building spurs and sidetracks and
Strengthening their main lines.
Under special order of business
by the rules committee this bill was
the first business taken up. A rath-
er humorous parliamentary tangle en-
sued at the outset when Senator
Perry arose and made the point of
order that neither the original bill
nor the substitute in their original
fom were before the senate.
Senator Burwell acknowledged the
fact, and while the discussion was
waging, Clerk Northern rummaging in
his desk found the bill rammed into
one corner That ended the tangle.
and the bill came up for passage on
its merits. Several efforts to amend
the bill failed, with one exception,
which was an amendment accepted
by the author. This makes it obliga-
tory on railroads to first obtain the
consent Of mayor or the council be-
fore condemning property within an
incorporated town.

Concerning the statement made by

Bill Will Save
Million a Year

Brunswick light, consumers, the few
here who are unable to get into
gaseous and electric circles, are
deeply interested in a bill pending in
the senate which regulates the price
of the "old reliable" kerosine, still
used to some extent as an illumina-
ting agency, even in cities.
The bill makes it unlawful for any
manufacturer of any product to sell
it for a less price in one section of
the state than in another, allowance
being made for the difference in rates
of transportation
1t is generally conceded that the
bill is aimed at the Standard Oil
company, though it is stated there is
a possibility of its application to the
fertilizer trust" anG others ''if they
get obstreperous."
The minority report deals with the
Standard Oil company.
1t says that this company is now
charging from to 5 cents per gal
ion more for kerosene at points where
there is no competition than 1t does
where there is fight for trade. The
report states that the company sells
oil at competitive points at $3.50 less
for tank of 5000 gallons than at
non-competitive points.
It is declared that this policy is
adopted for the purpose of crushing
out the small dealers and of destroy
ing all competition, and that its eff
feet is to rob the consumers of the
state of more than $1,000,000 a year.
The committee vote on the bill was
a 1ie-4 to 4-and the chairman, SEN
ator Womble. refusing to vote, the
measure went back under the rules
with an unfavorable report
One senator says, however, that
there is yet to be one of the hottest
fights of the session over this very
bill. He proposes to call it up just
as soon as the opportunity presents
itself and to ask the senate to dis
agree TO the report and pass the
BILL
He says the identical law is already

former teller Of the First National
bank still on the stand, District At
torney Holton this morning took up
the trial Of a great mass of discount
ed notes of the bank and pursued it

finally showing up, the government
claims, to the benefit of the defen-

In this relentless hunt for evidence
f. p. MoXey, of New York, an ex-
pert accountant, who investigated the
failed lank's books in 1897, and Ma
tional Bank Examiner Frederick A.
Hull, were pressed into service. A
somewhat interesting feature was
found in the Introduction of letter
from W. II. Penland, one of the bank
officials as to CASTOR Sluder, of this
city, wherein the latter was asked to
sign notes for the reason that mother
ald sister need the money" The
letter also stated that Sluder would

SEVERAL MACHINES MAY MAKE
-
m A RUN TO SAVANNAH
Rki~A NEXT WEEK.
" Present Plans Carry Large Party
OF Local People Will Go to That
City Over the New All Coast Route.
+. Local Interest in the Proposed New
4 Road.

I While no definite steps have been
taken, it is more than probable that,
to further demonstrate the advan-
tages of the all-coast route, Savan-
nah to jacksonville, that a number
OF Brunswick autoists. with parties
In their machines, will make a trip
to Savannah one day next week over
the route traversed by Mr.. Oliver. of
Jacksonville, who made the trip last
Thursday.
The plan is to get as many of the
machine as possible to make
the trip, which will be made a gala
occasion. Arrangements can be made
at Darien for two or three lighters
to transport all of the machines from
Dents to the Mcintosh county, shore.
At Darien short stop will be made
and the people of that city will ar
range a. short entertainment for the
Brunswick autoists. Darien is as en-.
thusiastic as Brunswick and other
cities to be a point ON the great au-
tomobile speedway, and her citizens
are willing to assist the movement
In every way possible.
The plan suggested is to leave
Brunswick about 7 O'clock in the
morning. The trip to Darien can be
made by $50 at the outside. About
half an hour will be spent in that
city and then the jouFney will be
continued On to Savannah. The run
can easily be made from Darien to
Savannah in FIVE hours. At Savannah
the local party will, of course be met
by delegation representing the Sa-
vannah Automobile association and
an entertainment will be arranged
for them. Savannah is one of the
greatest automobile cities in the
south, and every visitor who arrives
there is giN cordial reception.
There are eight or ten machines in
Brunswick which can easily make the
run between the two cities; in fact
very nearl7' all of them could do it,
and an effort will be made to get
as many as possible to go on the
trip.
Just when the trip will be made
is not known, but if the present plans
carry it will occur the latter part of
next week or early in the following
week.
Brunswick autoists are just awak-
ening to the Importance Of securing
this great automobile speedway, and
they should lend their efforts to the
work to have it come via the all
coast route 1t has been practically
demonstrated that it is the shortest
quickest, and best route, and will nc
doubt be adopted.
Further details about the proposed
trip may be arranged in a few days
and if it is made it will no doubt
prove a great success.
