FOOD PRICES TUMBLE.
Strength Of Meat Boycott Be
comes Il ppdrent.

Pittsburg, Jan. 2.-Prfces of all food
products are beginning 10 feel the effect
OF the boycott on meats which went into
effect in the Pittsburg district to-day. It
is estimated that six hundred thousand
persons are affected, including one hun
dred and twenty-five thousand signers in
greater Pittsburg. Cattle, hogs and lambs
at the local stockyards were again dropped
IN price to-day from 10 Is cents a hun
dred pounds
Butter and eggs will be under the ban
the same as meat in a few days. Fearing
this, butter dealers have already scaled
their prices, in some cases as much as 6
cents. Eggs. too, while they are the cold
storage brand, are from 10 8 cents lower.
Vegetables may also be bought cheaper.
Butcher stalls and markets in the resi-
dental sections are nearly deserted. To-
day there the fish markets.
Fish prices are lower than they have been
here in some months. and the consumption
of oysters and fish will be enormous, ac-
cording to one of the dealers.
Reports received from Wheeling indicate
that one hundred and twenty-five thousand
persons have pledged themselves TO cbstain
from meat in West Virginia, many large
industries being affected.
Cleveland, Jan. E5.-Fred W. Sehel,n.
originator OF the meat boycott, and Mayor
Baehr discussed the anti-meat agitation to-
day. and suggested that Senator Burton be
asked TO head movement TO have Con-
gress impose an export tax upon meat.
This plan is supplementary to the petitions
having the same aim now being circulated.
The petitions will be presented to Congress.
Another reduction of f8 cents hundred
pounds was quoted to-day on all livestock.
While the price has been going down
steadily at the stockyards, there has been
no lowering OF the retail price. Eggs fell
off six cents in the local retail market to-
day, which corresponds with yesterdays
drop in butter The signing of abstinence
pledges continues.

LOST TWO FINGERS. A TURpENT|NE BILL
CONGRESSMAN EDWARDS SEEKS
TO CORRECT ERRORS OF
THE INDUSTRY.

Washingco on. D. c., Feb. 23.-Repre-
sentative Edwards bill just introduced
in the House, charging the collection
Sf revenue, will have a strong bearing
5dn the turpentine industry of the
S nth.
His bill, if enacted into law, would
EXEMPT turpentine stills and other
naval stores products from the oper-
alton of the present law, so that the
commissioner Of internal revenue
hereafter would not count t1e latter
under the general ruling Of register
ed stills" as the term generally ap-
plies.
The effect of this law would be that
much confusion and unnecessary red
tape connected with the operation Of
turrentine stills would Le done away
with; as they are in no way connected
with the usual liquor stills from which
much revenue is derived.

EARLY PRIMARY
IS FAVORED FOR
GlYNh COUNTY
COMMITTEE MAY NOT WAIT ~uN-
TIL THE REGULAR STATE
PRIMARY IN JUNE.
Effort on Foot to Get the Committee
TO Meet and Call Local Election
for Early Fali-Lens Campaign Is
Not Desired.

+ Is Glynn county to have an early
primary, or will this county wait until
the regular state primary, as has been
the case in the Past?
1t is known that movement is now
on foot to get the Democratic execu-
tive committee to meet and arrange
a date for the nomination of the
county officers, regardless of the ac-
ton Of the state committee, which
will not meet for several weeks and
which will not order the state cleo
ton before June.
1t is known that an early county
election is favored by many. AS stat
ed by a well known county official to
a News reporter yesterday the can
didates for county officers bear the
expense of the county election, and
there is no use of a long campaign.
Some candidates have already an
nounced and others will be out in q
few days. 1t is believed that within
the next few weeks all of those who
are contemplating making the race

made their announcements, and, if
the committee waits until the state
committee acts, it means d long cam
paign, lasting through the entire fall
and a portion of the summer.
In conversation with News man
yesterday the official mentioned said
he was in favor of an early primary.
Il see." he said. where several coun-
ties have already held their primaries,
while many others in the state have
arranged them for March and April.
Why can't Glynn county have her lit
tie election next month or in April
CT May and got through with it. |
feel sure that the people would favor
such a move and would endorse such
an action by the executive commit :
tee."
1t is more than probable that an ef-
fort will be made to call the commit
tee together for a discussion of the
matter and an early primary will be
agitated As stated the state election
, will not he held before June and there
seems to be nc use of waiting that
long to nominate the county officials.

COLD WAVE DUE TOMORROW
More reezing Weather May Be Ex-
perienced in This Section.

According to- the rognostications of
the weather man, another severe cold
snap will reach this section tomorrow
which may cause the mercury to again
fiirt with the freezing point.
BY the dope handed out on the per-
formance of the weather it will rain
today and turn colder, but not until
tomorrow will an cvercoat and heavy
wraps tie necessary. 1t is probably
the cold wave which is now sweeping
over the west which is headed this
way, but it is to be hoped, by all save
the coal and wood men, that the wave
will lose it's course before reaching
this section and that we will continue
to enjoy the delightful weather which
has prevailed during the past few
days.

CLAY PIGEON TRAP ON JEKYL
WENT OFF, CAUSING PAIN
FUL ACCIDENT.

c. D. Wood an employee on Jekyl
Island, met with quite a painful ac-
cident yesterday morning while en-
gagged in some work on the clay pig
con trap on the island.
The trap has not yet been used this
season and Mr. Wood was sent to
prepare it for operation. 1t seems that
when the trap was last used it was
left cccked, and when he stepped into
the trap house yesterday he touched
the spring, which caused the trap-car-
riage to slip. 1t struck his hand, en-
tirely seyering one finger, while the
top portion OF another was also sever
ed Medical aid was summoned at
once and the injuries were dressed,
but Mr.. Wood suffered considerable
pain frcm the accident.

Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-Two dead,
three dying and more than thousand
injured is the toll enacted by the
reign of lawlessness for the past three
days, as the result of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company strike. The
failure of state defenses to intimidate
the strikers will probably force the
authorities to call out the entire ma
tional guard.
Thus far the rioters have made the
street cars the principal objects of at
tacks. More than one thousand per-
sons have been arrested for rioting.
Thirty six were indicted by the grand
jury. Two thousand car windows were
broken yesterday.

LOCAL CONCERNS
FIGHTING AGAINST

THEY WILL PROBABLY JOIN IN
EFFORT TO DEFEAT coRPo-
RATION TAX ACT.
New Law Is Causing Complaint from
..Aii Sections and Seems to se Very
unpopuIar-Locai Companies May
Soon Take Some Action.

! There are certain big corporations
IN Brunswick that will have to turn
over several hundred dollars to Uncle
sam as the result of this new tangled
tax. They do.not like that much but
,, there are other things which cause
tnem to object even more strenuous

less than the $4,000 profit class
nave to send in reports and they
must do so before March l. as a
possible fine of 81 900 and maybe
Imprisonment faces those who fail.
Thus it is that all the corporations
officials who have not yet sent in
their reports are scurrying around
determined to do so before next Mon
days sun SETS
One of the first complaints that
is heard is that of discrimination.
Officers of the different companies
declare that it is unfair to tax cor
poration making $4,000 a year net
income and let an individual or an
unincorporated firm off without any
payment whatsoever To avoid pay

here and elsewhere, are surrendering
! their charters and resuming business
i on the old individual or partnership
plan.
/ Still others who do not kick at the
amount of the annual tax extracted
from them, kick at making out for
| the government officials a . detailed
report of their earnings and expendi
lures. They regard this as their pri-
vate business and say that they think
it an imposition to be compelled to
make these statements.
| Another objection is that the state
ment calls for the condition of the
I, business on December 81. With a
| large class of manufacturing inter-
ests this is very busy season. One
Brunswick factory will have to pay a
tax of $100, and has lost $1,000 by
closing down tc take stock and make
up a statement for that date.
Another local objection is that the
collector of internal revenue for this
| district of Georgia is Henry A. Ruck-
er, colored man. All of the letters,
reports and correspondence must be
! addressed to him, and all the business
handled by him. There has been
much kicking about Rucker since the
new tax went into effect.
! AS the result of this dissatisfaction
I 1t is probable that the corporate in
| tcTests OF Brunswick will frame up
some kind of protest against the new
law, PERHAPS in the shape of petit
ton to Georgia congressman, and ask
| for a repeal of the law, or an elimina-
