SOLDIERS AT ST. SIMON
ARE ENJOYING ENCAM PMENT

The members of the Second Geor-
gia regiment are having a big time
On St. Simon and the officers of the
regiment including Colonel Harris,
have already pronounced it one of
the best places in the state for an
encampment.
1t is more than likely that here
after the state troops will encamp on
ST. Simon once every two years. The
troops are sent to Chickamaugua ey-
err other year by the government
while the state stands the expense
of a state enosmpment once every
two years. Heretofore there has been
no permanent camping place for the
state encampment, but so desirable
a place has ST. Simon proved this
summer that it is believed that here
after it will be made the permanent
camping grounds of the Georgia state
troops

BROKE THE RECORD
IN AN AUTO TRIP
CAME FROM JACKSONVILLE TO
BRUNSWICK IN A LITTLE
OVER FIVE HOURS.
Pathfinders of the Jacksonville Me.
troPolis Stopped for Only a Short
Time and Then Proceeded on the
Trip to Savannah.

After breaking the record in an au-
tomobile between Jacksonville and
Brunswick, the Jacksonville Metropo-
lis pathfinding car, with F. L. Miller
and Earle Moore in charge, drove up
to The News Office yesterday morning
at IL o'clock. After reporting to the
paper, as was the plan, the autoists
took on new supply of gasoline and
started out for Savannah, determined
to reach that city before nightfall
and thus complete the first trip ever
made between Jacksonville and Sa-
yannah in one day in an automobile
Mr.. Miller who is an experienced
driver and who is handling a large
Premier go" stopped at The News
office just long enough to describe
briefly his trip from Jacksonville. He
said for a portion of the way the
roads We're in fine condition, but he
experienced considerable difficulty a
short distance out of Jacksonville
Some of the streams were high and
several times the machine was over
the hubs in water.
But as soon as we struck Glynn
county" said Mr.. Miller, we found
good roads; as good as any autoist
would want, and the county deserves
to be congratulated for the excellent
condition of her public highways"
The party stated that they consid-
cred the route from Jacksonville to
Brunswick the easier part of the trip,
"but we are going on through to Sa-
vannah today" said the diver, cal
though we realize that it is quite a
difficult trip, but we have been sent
out on a pathtinding trip and are go
ing to endeavor to locate better
route
The party left Jacksonville at &
o'clock, arriving in Brunswick at H.,
which is an unusually quick trip, in
fact the quickest made between the
two cities by three OF four hours.

every city in the state urging the
members and friends of the ord}f tc

will be necessary to prevent an
change in the present law with which
they seem well satisfied.
Mrs. Armour refers to the prayers

ing been arrested by postoffice in

JEROME AND THAW AT
LAST MEET FACE TO FACE
OPINIONS OF
THE PHYSICIANS
THEY DIFFER AS TO whether
OR NOT RIDING AsTRIDE
is INJURIOUS.

The bill now before the Georgia
legislature to prevent women riding
horseback astride has aroused much
comment since its Introduction in
the general assembly several days
ago
AS regard the opinions of the
medical profession concerning the
physical effects of riding astride, &c
doctors disagree, making this another
case where the patients are free It
seems, however, that the physicians
are agreed that the majority of We.
men ought not to ride astride.
One prominent local physician said
yesterday that he was oppo>aI to
woIren's riding a horse masculin"
fashion purely from a medical stand
point In the case of strong and Wig
Crous women, the danger would be
cor"espondingly small, said he, but
the ement of danger was still there
Another physician stated shat
horseback riding, where women ride
astride. was not as injurious as bicy-
Gle IluluS. IL Ille law plonhplCo W.
men riding astraddle a horse, said
he, it ought also to prohibit them
from riding bicycles In fact, he sta
ted in conclusion, if women are ac-
customed to riding astride from child
hood no harm should come from it.
There you have both sides of the
question. Take your choice.
1t is interesting to know that there
are but very few ladies in Brunswick
who ride astride, possibly not more
than one or two Many ladies from
the city, when they are in the noun
tains of North Carolina in the sum-
mer, throw aside the conventional
side-saddle and ride astride regular

ANOTHER HITCH
ON TARIFF BILL
AS A RESULT THE REPORT WAS
NOT SUBMITTED TO THE
HOUSE YESTERDAY.
Taft Succeeds in Getting Duty on
Lumber Slightly Reduced-Faqht
May Yet Be Carried to the Floor
Of the House.

Washington, July ga disagree
ment has practically been reported
between the president and the tariff
contereeS. AS the situation stands
tonight the president must either
have duty of $1.40 on lumber, the
main point of the difference, or he
viii have the fight carried to the
floor of the house.
Last nights agreement of the con-
ferees melted under the rays of the
morning sun IL was made without
reckoning with many of the conferees.
In the white house, President Taft's
Victory was won for free hides and
reduced duties on leather goods. He
met the conferees today when they
came to him with their tentative
agreement with a further demand for
reduction in lumber and an insis-
tence that there must be a reduction
of the duty on gloves, otherwise the
action would receive executive dis
approval.
The presidents new stand threw
the conferees into the air. The an
nouncement is made tonight that they
will compromise the differences be-
tween the house and senate rates on
gloves in the interest of lower duties
and concede to the $1.40 on lumber.
Senator Aldrich and Congressman
Payne have been named as q sub
committee to secure the presidents
assistance of the plan.

Past Due Taxes
May be COLLECTED

The bill of Senator Perry providing
for amending the act relative to the
collection of past due taxes of state
counties and municipalities, was pass
ed Tuesday by the senate.
This bill is the outgrowth of the
suit of the state against the Central
and Georgia railroads for back taxes
on stock held by them in the Western
Railway of Alabama.
1t will be remembered that the case
went to the United States supreme
court, where it was declared that the
state machinery was defective, mas
much as 1t did not give corpora
ton the right to a hearing on the
reasonableness of an assessment fo1
taxation.
Senator Perry's measure perfects
the law by giving the right to cor
poration for hearing in state, coun-
ty or municipality.
The measure Is an important one
as it will remove obstacles which
have prevented the state from col
lecting taxes in many important
cases.

A LIVELY TILT
BETWEEN THEM
THE PlTTSBURG MILLIONAIRE
HELD HIS OWN WITH THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Thaw Was on the Stand Nearly All
Day Yesterday Under Fire, But
jerome Was Not Master of the
Situation.

New York, July 28.-Harry Thaw
and William Jerome, the district at
torney who has been instrumental in
keeping the Pittsburg millionaire in
Matteawan since he first became an
inmate of that institution, have met
at last in an open, face-to-face en-
counter. They came together today
in the little courtroom at White
Plains, where Thaw is making a fight
for liberty before Justice Isaac N.
Mills.
If there could be possibly any hon
ors in such a case they stood about
even tonight, although it was con-
coded on every side that when the
day was over that Mr.. Jerome was
far from being the master of the sit
uation.
AS Thaw sat in the witness chair
all throughout the day, phantoms, the
harvest of his early wits sowing, rose
up all about him and, deity manipu-
.ated by the resOurceful prosecutor,
were paraded not only before the
young Pittsburger, but also before
the great crowd of people who sat
about the courtroom in a GREATNESS
way to see upon every break Of scan
dal that could be produced.
In most instances Thaw had plaus-
ible explanations for the queries of
Jerome, and in every instance made
some retort, which to an extent shows
him to be entirely rational, some of
his replies even surprising the dis
trict attorney, who after the days
proceedings, appeared to be cha
grined as A. result of Thaw's calm
demeansr
GRAw went upon the witness stand
/ at 9.52 O'Clock and appeared perfect
ny calm. His lawyer without a ques-
DIN. turned him over to Mr.. Jerome
and Immediately the battle started
which undoubtedly has helped Thaw
in his effort to free himself of the
insane asylum.
Much interest was evinced by the
spectators in todays proceedings and
during the wOrdy battle between the
district attorney and Thaw the court
room had stiffness that reminded
one of the days when Delmas plead
for the life of Thaw in this city.

WHOLESALERS TO
FORM ASSOCIATION
SOUTH AND MIDDLE GEORGIA
MERCHANTS MAY SHIP
THROUGH THIS PORT.
BY Combination of Water and Rail
Rates They Can Save Ten Per Cent
on All of the Large Shipments.
At Present Ships Irregular

Six carloads of wire arrived in port
yesterday on the Bee Line steamer
Dover, which is the first movement of
wire and iron goods consigned to south
Georgia wholesalers which is to come
through Brunswick over this line.
BY combination of the two local
rates, the water rate from New York
to Brunswick and the rail rate from
Brunswick to such points as Triton.
Cordele, Thomasyille, Waycross and
other inland towns, shippers in these
cities can save ten cents per hun
dred pounds on over 200 articles over
the through rate, or that is a rate
applied to a shipment from say New
York to Waycross. By the combina-
ton arrangements, the shipments is
made direct to Brunswick and thence
to the other cities.
This saving will amount to many
thousand dollars during the course
OF a year and to reap the full ad-
vantage of this differential rate, it
Is now currently reported, and on
very good authority. that many whole
salers in south and middle Georgia
are at present organizing an associ-
alton which will have it's offices here
and which will reconsign it's goods
from this port to the various mem
bers of the association. For instance
a shipment will be made for a Way
cross firm from the north. The ship
ment will come to Brunswick via the
Bee Line and here the association rep
resentatives will take charge of it, re-
ship it to the different wholesalers and
thus the 10 per cent. will be saved.
This plan is now being worked out
and already large contracts have been
signed up. 1t means the bringing
through Brunswick OF several thou
sand cars of goods, which are now
being shipped through Savannah,
Jacksonville or Charleston.
An association charter will be ap-
piled for in short time, as already
over a hundred large shippers have
been enrolled as members of the as
ISOLATION
A well-known Brunswick business
man has just completed a tour of the
state and he says that when a few
troubles are smothered out in the
way of steamer delays Brunswick
will get considerable business which
/ is now going to other ports.
Because of the irregularity in the
steamer service from New York caus-
ed partly by the large lumber ship
ment to that city, the proposed as
ISOLATION may be forced to locate in
another port, but efforts will be
made to make Brunswick its head
quarters.
Three steamers over the Bee Line
have already arrived this week, but
next week there may be but one ship,
and this is what is causing the trou-
| Bile with the interior shippers. They
want SO many ships per week on a
regular schedule. 1t is not so much
the number of ships per week, but
more the regularity of the steamers,
and this irregIlarity is now the chief
obstacle in the way of Brunswick Sc
curing this big business.
