BRUNSWICK, IN
THE NAME ONLY
E. II. MASON WRITES INTEREST
ING LETTER TO BRANTLEY
ON THE SUBJECT.
The Location of the Ship Does Bruins
wick Absolutely No Benefit, But is
GOOD Thing for jacksonville and
FeSnandina.

4 A movement, headed by e. H. Ma
son of e. H. Mason e Co, ship brok-
ers, is on foot to have the lightship
placed where it will direct mariners
TO Brunswick instead of Fernandina
and Jacksonville. AS the matter now
stands the lightship does this port no
good whatsoever, but it's of great ben
eit to the two Florida ports, The
following letter was mailed to Con
gressman Brantley yesterday:
The enclosed clipping from the
Brunswick News of this date reports
another addition to the long list of
disasters that has occurred in recent
years to shipping by striking upon
those dangerous shoals off Long ISL
and, Egg Island, and Doboy Island,
Ga.
If our memory is correct, the
Brunswick lightship was built for the
purpose of guiding vessels clear of
these shoals, but when she was turn
ed over to the lighthouse board to be
placed upon her station they placed
it in a position about nine or ten
miles southeast of the Brunswick bar
instead of the same distance north
east of said bar. About 80 or 50 p. C.
of vessels bound for Brunswick ap-
proach this bar from the east or the
northeast, consequently the lightship
in its present position, is absolutely
useless in guiding thep safely by the
shoals above mentioned, and the pur-
pose for which it was built has been
defeated
The light vessel should either be
moved to a position northeast Of the
Brunswick bar, or the name of Bruins
wick should be removed from its sides
and that of Fernandina painted in its
place.
I'VE hope that you will take this
matter up with the proper authori
ties at Washington and succeed in
getting them to place the vessel so
that it win serve the purpose for
which it was built You did great
deal Of hard work in having this yes
sci constructed, and it is too bad
that Brunswick is to lose the benefits
to which we think she is justly en-
titled. Very truly yours,
"E. II. MASON & CO."
1t is understood that MIR Brantley
has received various other complaints
and that he has already taken the
matter up with the proper officials at
Washington

NO OPPOSITION
In THE PRIMARY
LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE
ONLY ONE CANDIDATE FROM
EACH OF THE WARDS.

From present indications the COM
ing aldermanic primary will be tue
first in the history of Brunswick where
there will be no opposition and this
is, indeed, something unusual for
Brunswick.
At first it was thought that there
would be a hot fight in the Fourth,
but the entry of Cap. F. N. Nash and
the positive statement from Capt. T.
Newman that he would not be a can
didate, coupled with the fact that r.
b, Mccullough has withdrawn makes
things smooth in all of the four
wards and the following will doubt
less go in with an unanimous vote
First ward, George II. Cook; Second
ward, A. ] Nicholson; Third ward,
L. Ludwig; Fourth ward, F. N. Nash.

Foreman Hidalgo stated that the
four members Of the jury who held
out for acquittal based their opinion
on the failure Of the state to prove
motive or malice.

when it was seen that a verdict could
not be reachcd?" he was asked.

MISS MAMIE KENDRIcK DEAD.
Passed Away Suddenly Yesterday
Morning.

The friends Of Mrs. c. w. Kendrick
were greatly shocked yesterday to
learn of the death Of her third daugh-
ter, Maine, who died at 11.45 o'clock
after long illness. The little girl
had been in poor health for several
months and had been i'll of fever for
the past three weeks, but while her
illness was serious, her relatives did
not consider that she was dangerous
ly i'll and her death was very unex-
pected and terrible shock to them.
While she was but thirteen years
old this young girl was loved by a
wide circle of friends for her sweet
disposition and lovely character.
Bright and studious in school, she
was a great favorite with her teach
ers and her schoo1mates. The warm
sympathy of the entire city has gone
out to the bereaved mother and to
the brothers and sisters Of the little
girl.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at 8 o'clock from the residence,
corner of Gloucester street and Coch-
ran avenue. The following school boys
will act as pallbearers: Julian King,
Coleman Holiday, Oscar Dell Mea, Don
O'Connor, Gussie Coins, E. D. Gornto.

places it was only a good morning

of the train.
Watch at the White House.
In the seven weeks the president
was away from Washington he was
never out of touch with the white
house and government affairs. More
than 4,800 letters and kilograms were
received by Secretary Hilles on the
trip and the mails and telegraph wires
were kept busy every day. Although
nearly thirty railroads handled the
special train, the president was late
only once, and that was at Omaha,
after the train had been held up in
Missouri by a washout.

les, Washington and few hladred
other cities, Mr. Taft has travela1 t.
436 miles, beating his own previous
record by just about 500 miles. Be
fore he returns to Washington for fhe
winter, the president will visit Ohio
Kentucky and Tennessee, and will id
1884 miles to the record. Mr.. HiIles's
swing" figures show that Mr.. Taft
passed through twenty SIX states and
made speeches in twenty of them.
Welcome from Governors.
The governors of each state he en-
tered gave him a welcome, and Gov
ernor Colquitt of Texas, state which
was not visited, met him in Kansas.
United States senators to the number
of twenty-seVen met the president at
various times. Six Of these senators
were democrats, and seven were ac-
know1edged insurgents" About a
dozen senators pledged their support
to the arbitration treaties on the trip.
