PROTEST AGAINST
REMOVING TRAIN
IMPORTANT MEETING CALLED
FOR NEXT TUESDAY AT
CITY HALL.

The Atlanta Birmingham and At
lantic railroad has again made appli-
cation to the Georgia railroad COM
mission to discontinue one of the reg
ular trains between Brunswick and
Nichols, which makes connection
with the through train to Atlanta. TIL J
commission has set the application
for hearing in Atlanta on August
26th.
A general meeting of the Retail
Merchants and Business Mems asso-
citation, the members OF the city coun-
Gil and others is called for Tuesday
morning at 1890 o'clock, at the city
hall, for the purpose of taking up
the matter and registering an official
protest against the removal of this
train.
To discontinue the train means a
blow to Brunswick business houses.
1t practically eliminates all travel
from the city to the several stations
on the A., B. & r. and will work a
hardship on Brunswick wholesalers,
who are now supplying many of these
small places. The train that the road
desires to discontinue is the one
which leaves Brunswick at $50 a. M,
and the one which arrives here at
8 p. m. 1t would mean only one train
a day between the city and all points
on the system, and would make it
impossible for person in this city
to go to any point on the line and
return in day.
1t is desired that the representative
meeting be held Tuesday morning,
and all citizens interested are invited
to attend

be held for the. purpose of hearing
discussions on the matter. Mr.. Con-
ant is asked to state where he thinks
best to hold the convention, etc.
Brunswick. it is thought. would be the
proper place to hold the meeting, and
Colonel Kingman will be so notified.
The letter received by Mr., Conant
yesterday is as follows:
Sir: ir:-Application has been made by
j. H. Cranberry, a civil engineer of
New York city. for and in behalf of
Glynn county and Mcintosh county,
Ga, for permission to construct GER
tain highway and railway bridges
across the various mouths of the
Altamaha river and has submitted
plans for these structures.
At least two of the mouths of the
Altamaha river, to-wit: the north
mouth at Darien and the south
branch, are navigable streams, and
require proper arrangement to permit
vessels to pass the bridges. 1t seems
to me that this matter is of grave
Importance to the inhabitants of the
two counties herein named, as we'll
as to all persons engaged in the nav
igation of the Altamaha river and the
tributaries that form it.
Therefore, with a view to obtaining
an expression of opinion as to the de-
STABILITY and sufficiency of the pro-
posed structures, as well as to afford
all parties at interest an opportunity
to be heard, | propose to appoint and
hold a public hearing in the near
future; and in order to ascertain
wnere this hearing should be held,
am writing to you for an expression
of opinion. I could hold the hearing
at Darien, provided a suitable room
for the purpose can be furnished with
out expense; otherwise, can hold it
in Savannah
viii you please write me without
delay what you think about the mat
ter, and what place and time would
best slit your convenience and others
Interested, so far as you know.

WORK SOON TO BEGIN

Probably before the end of the
month the City & Suburban Railway
company will begin work on its car
shed, which is to be erected on the
vacant lot just in the rear of the Ma
tional bank. The shed will not be a
very large one, large enough, how
ever, to accommodate all of the cars
OF the company.
In view of the fact that the street
car company and the city are in a
dispub over the car company using

not the tracks viii be laid through
this square or whether the shed will
be reached by some other route.

! A conference of practically all the
managers of high class theatres in
the south is to be held in Atlanta
tomorrow and Manager Finney, of the
Grand, leaves the city tonight to at
tend.
1t will be important, perhaps epoch
making. Unless present portents fail,
1t will lead to throwing off, at
least loosening, of the yoke which
klaw q Erlanger are said to have
held so long upon southern play
houses. This meeting is logically
construed to be the finale of request
which the southern managers made
Of Klaw & Erlanger some weeks ago
that they be allowed to open their
houses to all high-clas productions
regardless of who booked them. That
request, it will be recalled, was de-
MED; it was sat upon with the full
bulk of Klaw & Erlanger's sitting ca
pacity. The committee representing
the managers came home from New
York, thought the matter over, cor
responded among themselves, and
now they are all to assemble and talk
the matter over.
The purpose of the Association of
Southern Theatre Managers is to ef-
feet an organization that will protect
their interests. Everybody else in
the show business is organized except
the managers. The stage hands are
l@rganized, the musicians, the carpen-
fers, the sign painters are organized.
So are the managers of the east and
west The southern managers have
awakened to the fact that they are
trying to do business with methods
out of date. They have had no re-
dress against any inconvenience or
even unfairness that producing
eastern manager may see fit to heap
upon them.
For instance, if Klaw & Erlanger
want to book performance in Bruins
wick for solid week, booked it
must be, even though the owner of
the theatre should know it wouldn't
pay for more than a single night.
More than this, 1t is alleged tnal
eastern producers have often played
in southern cities to $4,000 Or $15,-
600 worth of business. Of that
amount they will pocket so per cent.
and leave the local manager 20 per
cent.
The association now represents
within its membership so or 80 per
cent of the high class theatres as far
north as Virginia, and as far west
as Arkansas. That represents a
strength that is formidable. In fact,
it holds the key to the theatrical sit
uation in the south The managers
themselves are exceedingly reticent,
but ecerybody knows that they are
about as capable of bucking a DOM
ineeffng syndicate as any set of men
in America.
