SURVEY OF SAT|lLA
NGRESSMAN BRANTLEY HAS
SECURED PRELIMINARY SUR
VEY FOR THE STREAM.

Through the diligent efforts of the
board of trade of Waycress, and Con
gressman Brantley, congress has con-
sented to make an appropriation for
survey of The Satilla river from its
mouth to the Atlantic Coast Line tres :
tie near Waycross.
The survey was originally intend
ed to extend only short distance up
the Satilla When the board of trade
learned of the preliminary survey
that had been ordered Congressman
Brantley was at once communicated
with and his aid enlisted. BY having
the survey made the feasibility OF
Waycrc SIS getting a water route to
the coast will be determined.
The survey will be made during the
year If it is found practical the et-
forts started some time ago may re
suit in placing Waycross in the port
rate class. A barge canal is not with

The survey will be under the su

SMITH SURE TO RUN
IF GOV. BROWN DOES
This is Atlanta Newspaper View of
the Case.

Atlanta, Feb. 19-There Is Published
here a story to the effect that Hoke
Smith. is only waiting to see what
Gov. Joseph M. Brown is going to do
with regard to the governorship this
year, that if Governor Brown an
nounces his candidacy for reelection
1t will mean that former Governor
Smith will also be in the race.
While Governor Brown has said
nothing yet, there is practically no
question that he will stand for sreelec-
tion. He does not think there is any
necessity Of stirring up politics this
early in the game. Discussing Mr.
Smiths plan, the publication says:
. II is o moral certainty that II Gov
ernor Brown announces for renomi-
nation Hoke Smith will be forced to
run against him; forced not by pride,
not by motive of revenge. not by per-
sonal desire, but by the moral pres
sure Of thousands of his supporters
throughout the state of Georgia Those
close to him say he does not want to
make the race. He has a large and
exacting law practice and since the
expiration of his term as governor he
has ueen carrying on vigorous cam
paign for the advancement of the edu-
cational interests of the state"

FAMOUS LITTLE CRUISER DE

FOR SERVICE IN NAVY.

Washington. Feb. 19.-The city of
Detroit presently is to have an oppor
tunity to attach its name to a warShip
of greater size and speed than the
craft now tearing its name. Secretary
of the Navy Meyer says the present
little cruiser Detroit, now at the Bos-
ton navy yard, is in such bad repair
that it will not pay the government
ever again to try to fit it out for serv-
ice at sea. He is of the opinion that
it ought to be sold along with other
vessels that no longer are worth re-
pairing.
II am shown conclusively," says
Secretary Meyer, that the Detroit is
not worth spending money on, and |
am having others looked up. The
Detroit's machinery being very ex-
pensive to ran we are not justified
in putting it into condition. | believe
it would be a great saving if congress
would authorize the sale of great
many of our smaller vessels-yachts

appropriation for tle repairs made
last year goes in very small proper
ton for battleships and first-class
cruisers; that an enormous proportion

NO PROVISIONS
MADE FOR MONEY
CONGRESS NEGLECTED THIS ANr
THE CORPORATION TAX HAS :
BEEN SUSPENDED.

Washington, d. O., Feb. 1a.-The
president and his advisers have dis
covered that congress has appropriate
ed no money with which to index and
display the returns from the corpora.
tons tax.
Congress, it is true. did appropriate
100000 for the expenses of collect
ing the corporation tax, but the pres
ident has discovered a law passed by
congress back in 1882 which he con-
strues as prohibiting the use of this
money for promoting the publicity
cause. @
The president intends, until this
condition of affairs can be rectifled,
to regard the returns from corpora
tions merely as internal revenue re-
turns, and thus the business secrets
extracted from the business concerns
of the country will be accessible only
to the taxpayer or it's attorney, or to
such persons as are authorized by the
president. Il
The president puts the entire sta
alton squarely UP to congress. The
acting secretary of the treasury has
written a letter to Speaker Cannon
urging the necessity of the passage
of a bill providing a $4,000 appro-
priation for carrying out the publicity
feature of the law. The president
holds that the intention of congress
when it passed the corporation tax
was to make the returns accessible
to the public. He regards the failure
of congress to provide specifically for
this as an oversight.
The presidents announcement of
the notification of the publicity clause
came as snrRrise.~ Corporations all
over the country have been objecting
to this feature; of the law
Considerable doubt was expressed
last night whether congress will be
willing to shoulder the responsibility
of foisting this publicity clause upon
the corporations, now that an avenue
of escape is open. One or two of the
leaders in the house said last nigh:
that there is doubt if the house will
be able to make an appropriation un-
der the authority contained in the
corporation law. At any rate, any at
tempt to supply the necessary $50,00e
is certain to stir up some discussion.

Local Knights of Pythias yesterday
received telegraphic information from
Atlanta announcing that the supreme
court Of Georgia had just rendered a
decision, upholding the decision of the
superior court of Fulton county, which
some months ago, decided that negro
lodges, under the name OF the Knights
Of Pythias, could net exist In Geor-
gia.
This has been a very interesting
point of law in Georgia which has
been in the state courts for some time.
Colored lodges of the X of P. have
flourished In the state for years, there
being such an organization in Bruins
wick, as we'll as many other cities
In the state. The Knights of Atlanta
finally went to the superior court with
a test case, seeking to have the COL
ored lodges knocked out. The state
court decided in favor of the Atlanta
Knights, holding that it was a viola
ton of the state law for colored lodges
to use the name, emblems, etc, Of
the Knights Of Pythias.
The case was then carried to the
supreme court by the colored lodges
and a strong fight was made before
that tribunal. The case was argued
some time since and the decision has
been ,anxiously awaited.
As stated, it was handed down by
the supreme court yesterday, and il
means that colored lodges under the
name in question cannot further exist
III this state Local Knights express
ed themselves as being more than
nieased with the decision.

POSTAL CARDS
TO Be SUPPLIED
FROM THIS CITY
BRUNSWICK IS MADE A DisTRi5.
uTlNa POINT BY POST.
OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
Cards viii Be Shipped Here in Car
load Lots from Washington and
viii Be Distributed Over the South
from This City.

BrunSWick's excellent advantage
from a standpoint Of freight rates, To-
gether with her various oth,.' advan-
tages as a distributing poia-, has wen
another victory. this time with the
Wnited States government, and begin
ming at once Brunswick will be known
.ss postal card distributing point for
this section of the country.
Postmaster Smith was yesterday
notified by the postoff1ce department
Of the selection of Brunswick as such
a distributing point.
The mere announcement that
Brunswick has been designated as a
postal card distributing point does not
appear to mean much, but when it is
explained just what it really means
to the city and to the local postof-
fee it can he realized that the gov
ernment has decided that this city has
an advantage in freight rates over
practically all other southern cities.
Postal cards, hereafter, will be re-
ceived in Brunswick only in carload
lots, and from the local Office all of
Georgia, Florida and possibly por-
tions of other states will be supplied.
These cards will be shipped out from
Washington, where they are printed
and will come via the following route,
which furnished the best freight rate:
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, from
Baltimore to Charleston over the
Baltimore G Carolina Steamship COM
pany, and from Charleston to Bruins
wick over the Southern railway, while
the. Brunswick Transfer company has
been awarded the contract to haul
the cards from the Southern ware
house to the postofice.
Postmaster Smith is expecting the
first shipment Of cards within short
time and he is arranging place in
the postoffice to store them. These
cards, as stated, will be shipped here
in carload lots and will be furnished
to offices In this locality upon orders
from Washington. For instance If a
supply of cards is needed in Jack
sonville the postmaster at that city
will make requisition upon Wash
ington, which will be forwarded to
Brunswick and the supply will be
furnished from the local office.
There are only three more of these
distributing points in the south, they
being located at Charleston, Birming
ham and Jackson, Miss.
