MEET TOMORROW
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO FIX
DATE FOR CONGRESS
'SIONAL PRIMARY.

Chairman JCln c. Med nald, Of the
democratic executive committee of
the eleventh congressional district,
has issued 8 call for a meeting Of the
committte in Waycross tomorrow "a
noon, for the purp Sc Of fixing a date
for the primary, adopting rules there
for and transacting such other bus
mess as may come before the con
yention
II appears that a majority of the
members of the committee favor the
primary n August 23rd the same
date as the state primary, and it is
more than likely t4at this date VIII
be selected. A majority OF the con
gressiOnal committees of the state
have already held meetings and in
most instances have selected the same
date as the state primary, thus avoid
ing two primaries.
There is no opposition to Congress
man Brantley, therefore very little in
terest will be manifested in the pri-
mary and il will be easy for the vot-
ers Of the district to cast their ballot
for the popular congressman when
the vote in the state primary.

BELIEVED THAT HE WILL BE IN
THE RACE FOR ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL.

The boom sarted a few days ago
in behalf of Colonel John w. Ben
nett, of Waycross, for attorney gen
eral, is spreading to all sections Of
south Georgia and other parts of the
state, and friends Cf the former pop
ular solicitor general of the Bruins
wick circuit believe that ne will en-
ter the race and that his announce
ment will he forthcoming within a
few days.
So far there is no announced candi-
date for the place, though it is be-
lieved that Hewlett Hall, who has
been appointed to fill out the uneX-
pired term Of Attorney General Hart,
will ne a candidate tc succeed him
self.
It is known that Col. Bennett is
strong in all sections of south Geor-
eia and this nart Of the state would
vote almost solid for him, while he
is well known in other parts of the
state and would roll up heavy vote.
The many friends of Mr. Bennett
in Brunswick are anxious to see him
enter the race and should he decide
to become a candidate it is believ-
ed that he would carry this county
almost unanimously.

GRAND JURY IS
INVESTIGATING
MANY CASES
VIOLATORS OF STATE LAWS
HAVE RIGHT TO FEAR BEING
HAULED UP IN THE SUPERIOR
COURT.

Have you been violating any of
the state laws? If you have then
you have right to be a little wCr-
ried for fear you will be hauled up
to answer for such violation, for the
present grand jury is making a rigid
investigation into all cases this week
and many indictments, it is under
stood, have been returned, while
others will follow. 1t IS expected
that quite a bunch of true bills will
be- turned over to the superior court
today and Sheriff Berrie and his as
sistants will have a number of ar
rests to make.
Of course the jury is looking fur
ther into the violations of the prohi-
bition law than anything else, as this
is the law which is most grossly vio-
lated, but at the same time the body
is after others, and have already re-
turned true bills against number of
people charged with other offenses.
The jury was in session all day
yesterday and a number of witnesses
appeared during the day. Examina-
tion into the st. Simon beer cases
was continued, but no true bills were
returned. Whether or not the alleg-
ed sellers of the beveridge will be in
dicted cannot be stated, but it would
not be at all surprising to see num-
ber of true bills returned against
them today.
Local blind tigers are being inves-
tigated and some strong evidence has
been secured against many of them.
1t is understood that most of those
recently arraigned in the police court
and convicted will also have to an
swer to the state court, as indict-
ments will be returned.

CITY NOW HAS 4
BRICK TESTING
MACHINE
EVERY BRICK BEING USED IN
NEWCASTLE STREET PAVING
is GIVEN RATHER TEST BE-
FORE 1T is PUT DOWN.

Every brick that is being placed
along Newcastle street and which
will be used in the paving work now
going on between Gloucester and G
streets undergoes a thorough rattler
test before it is placed along the
street ready for use. By this plan
any difficulty with the contractors as
10 the quality Of the brick will be
avoided
1t will be remembered that when
the first two blocks were paved with
vitrified brick by the Georgia Engi-
neering Company, of Augusta, it was
discovered after the work had been
completed, that many of the brick
used did not come up to the specifca-
tions. This brought on some un-
pleasantness between the city and
the contracting firm, which was net
settled until weeks after the contract
had been completed and it was then
necessary to do some of the work
over.
TC avoid any more such difficulties
the city has purchased a testing ma
chine and every brick, as it is re-
moved from the car, is put under the
rattler test by City Engineer High,
and those brick not coming up to the
quality called for in the contract are
being thrown out.
1t can be stated in this connection,
however, that SO far the brick have
all shown up unusually we'll and it
has been necessary to throw cut only
a very small percentage of them,
while on the other hand many of
them have been way above the quail
ity required in the specifications.
Rapid progress is being made, and
although the work was only started
a few days ago, the grading of one
side of the street has been c-mpleted
almost the entire distance between
Gloucester and G streets and the work
of laying the brick will begin next
week. T3e company will entirely
complete one side of the street be-
fore beginning on the other. 1t is
expected that the work will be fin
ished within month or six weeks.

THE CANDIDATES
NOW DOWN To
WORK
SMITH, BROWN AND HART BE-
GIN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN FOR
GoVERNORSHIP-cLAY CALLS
ON EX-GOVERNOR.

Atlasta, Ga, June 30.-Hoke Smith,
Joe Brown and Judge John c. Hart,
candidates for governor, are already
becoming adept at handshaking. The
beaming smile and extended glad
hand of these three gentlemen was
decidedly in evidence today, as it has
been since their respective announce
ments,
Of the three men, Hoke Smith has
perhaps started more vigorously to
work. His campaign headquarters,
located in the Peters building, are be-
sieged with callers, and beginning TO-
day Mr.. Smith has arranged to spend
two hours every day from 10 to II
O'Clock noon at the headquarters
meeting and greeting his friends.
During these two hours ne will not
be closeted with any one, but will
le well-met with every
body
Conspicuous among Mr.. Smiths
callers yesterday was United States
Senator A S. Clay, of Marietta, who
gave Mr.. Smith assurances of his sup
port in the coming race.
The usually large number of tele-
grams and letters continue to come
in to all the candidates. Apparently
each of them is very much gratified
at the outlook
The headquarters of ice Brown will
be at the Kimball house, although he
himself will spend practically all of
his time at his office in the capi-
toll
Judge Hart said this morning that
he did not intend to open any head
quarters, nor ask a single man to
vote for him. Furthermore, he did
not intend to spend dollar in his
campaign work except as imposed
upon him bw the executive committee
in the payment of the usual entrance
fee and such necessary expenses.
So far as can be ascertained the
methods of the candidates will Ie
quiet and devoid of any PERSONAL
ties. Onlookers WHO expect comets
in the political sky will be disap-
pointed.

FINE WORK IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
Carters Studio Making Speciality Of
Panel Ping Pongs.

1t is really surprising what q pho

but a look at the disllay at Carter
Studio in the Ping ng Line Will
con- !nce the most skeptical that at

to earth in regards to fair prices
Four positions are given and pic
turas are in panel style. It will be
well worth while for all to at least
glance at their show case on New

Through special arrangement, a full
line of Eastman films and kUdaks are
handled by this enterprising concern,
ard kodak enthusiasts can count on
getting what they want in the kodak

Mr. Carter's long experience in
amateur finishing places this studio
far in advance Of anything Bruins
wick has had heretofore. In fact,
it is headquarters for the amateur"
T1is studio is also in a position to
do the very highest class Of cabinet
work and artistic samples Of their
work will be on display.
It might be said, in passing, that
Mr.. Carter only intends to take these

BRUNSWICK WILL
HAVE FREIGHT
BUREAU
ONE TO BE ESTABLISHED IN
THIS CITY FOR PROTECTION
OF LOCAL SHlPPERS-IT WILL
MEAN MUCH TO THEM.

Brunswick is to have freight bu-
reau. 1t is to be established for
the benefit of the shippers of the city
and it is expected that it will prove
of great advantage to them.
The formation of a bureau has been
discussed for some time among many
shippers of the city, but no definite
steps were taken until a few days
ago, when Secretary Ogg, of the
Brunswick board of trade, and few
others took up the matter and de-
cided that it would be to Brunswick's S
interest to form such an Crganiza-
ton.
The freight bureau will be estab-
lished purely for the protection Of
local shippers and all matters per-
tanning to rates, ETC., will hereafter
be handled by the association. Com
plants of various kinds, against al
legged determinations, etc., will ne
lodged first with the bureau and then
acted upon definitely.
FISlSHI DuIeduS are lOW IuoIuCdiu-
ed in a large majority of Georgia
cities and they have been of great
advantage to the shippers of these
cities. P. NJ. Hudson, of Atlanta,
chairman of the Atlanta bureau, was
in the city the first part of the pres
ent week, and he discussed the ad-
vantages of such an organization with
various business men. Being at the
head of the buerau in Atlanta, natu-
rally Mr.. Hudson is in position to
see the great benefits derived from
an organization of this kind, and he
advised those with whom fle sfis-
cussed the matter to form a bureau in
Brunswick.
AS stated, the matter is now taking
definite shape and preliminary
meeting will be held within the next
few days, at which organization will
likely be perfected.
