FATE Of BILL
NOT YET KNOWN
STRONG EFFORT BEING MADE TIC
GET SENATOR KING TO
DEFEAT MEASURE.
Bill Placing Officers of Court on Fee
System Was Before Senate Commit
tee Yesterday-Senator King May
Pass or Kill the Bill.

The bill to place the officers of
the city court of Brunswick on the
fee system was heard by the senate
committee yesterday, according to the
arranged schedule, but there was no
representative present, neither from
the county commissioners, at whose
1nstiSation the bill was introduced,
or OF the various people of the city
VINO are opposed to the bill. Just
what report the committee will make
is not known, but it makes but lit
tie difference, as the passage of the
bill is almost entirely in the hands
OF Senator King.
AS stated in The News Sunday
morning, large petition was circu-
lated over the city Saturday protest
ing against the passage of the bill,
and it was forwarded to Senator King
Sunday and was in his hands when
the committee met yesterday. Be-
sides this petition a number of citi-
zens also wrote personal letters to
the senator, requesting him to use
his efforts to defeat the measure.
AT the same time it is understood
that a letter was also written to
Senator King by the commissioners,
explaining to him just why they de-
sired to have the officials of the court
changed from the salary to the fee
system.
AS is we'll known, the bill has al
ready been passed by the house and
only needs the approval of the SEN
ate ard the gover1-1's 8 s-.1ature to
become law. The final action of
the senate on the measure will be
awaited with interest by the people Of
the city.

A F|L|BUSTER

FERTILIZER BILL TOOK UP ALL
OF THE TIME AT YESTER.
DAYS SESSION.
Supporters of Tippins Near-BilI Bill
Charge that Representative Bran
non, of Coweta, is Successfully Con-
Quoting the FiIibuster.

Atlanta, Aug. Again today the
ahlSs-Johnson-Joyne fertilizer
bill consumed all the morning in the
house, and again Representative
Brannon of Coweta county, held the
hoor for most of the time, although
he says the charge made that he is
hlibustering is false.
Members on both sides of the Tip-
pins near-beer bill stated to press
representatives that while Brannon
did not believe he was filibustering
that he was carrying on a filibuster
very successfully to the delight of the
enemies of the Tippins bill Thus the
time set for the consideration of the
T1ppins bill was carried over today
and. consideration of the fertilizer bill
will continue tomorrow.
The appropriation bill is getting
dangerously near, and when once talk
en- up it will consume many days of
the time of the house, therefore it
seems that the near-beer bill may not
De reached. A motion was made in
the house this afternoon providing for
afternoon sessions, but it was lost.

this morning urging the Georgia dele.
cation in congress to support the
Sulzer measure, seeking to insure

Too Radical and Will Not Be Taken

general judiciary committee consid-
ered Taryer's ideas too radical, and
the bill of Senator Roberts, introduced
early during the present session,
which reduces the hour of labor from
soto 90 hours per week, met with
the approval of the committee and
came to the senate today for passage.
1t went through without debate or a

VISITORS STILL
COME TO ISLAND
RAILROAD BROUGHT IN OVER
THIRTEEN HUNDRED ON Ex-
CURSIoNS SUNDA'.

That the summer season will con-
tinue at the island resorts during the
month of August was best indicated
by the unusually large number of visi-
tors who visited ST. Simon on Sun
day, which was the first Sabbath of
the present month. The crowd that
spent the day there was one of the
largest of the season.
In all, it is estimated that upwards
of fifteen hundred were on the isl
and during the day. The three rail
roads brought into Brunswick over
twelve hundred, while a large num-
Der of Brunswickians went over for
the day.
The Coast Line brought down the
largest crowd Sunday. There were
just 489 on the excursion train from
points along that road, the A., b. & A
came in with $50, while the Southern
brought about 400, making a total OF
1853. These are the figures for pas
sengers on the excursion trains only,
and it must be remembered that
others came on the regular trains,
while, as is usually the case, many
also came down Saturday night to
spend the day in the city or on the
island. =
The railroads announce that the
excursion rates will prevail through
out the remainder of the month and
it is not expected that there will be
any falling off in numbers during
the remainder of the season.

that the safe line is the right line.

These ants march through the for

FRIED POTATOES.

Parts of France.

Sold on the Streets From Pushcarts In
Parts of France.
The street vending of pommes frites,
or French fried potatoes. is peculiar
to the northern part of France. Pom
mes frites take the place of peanuts
and popcorn and are sold in much the
same fashion. Not only is this trade
carried on in some instances as II regu-
larly established business. but work
men wishing to increase their earnings
come out on the streets In the evening
and sell these fried potatoes from
pushcarts. Their profits often exceed
their days wages.
The pushcarts are of the ordinary
type, but covered. A coke brazier is
inserted through the flooring, over
which is placed the large iron cadron
holding the fat obtained from beef
suet. Raw potatoes. after being pared.
are pressed through special cutting
machine, coming out in long. narrow,
four sided pieces. These are immedi-
ately put into the boiling fat and In
several minutes are thoroughly cooked
They are then sailed and sold In small
paper cornucopias holding ! or 2 cents
worth.
Pommes frites have the advantage
that they supply a satisfying and nu.
tritive meal for few cents. This is
especially appreciated by the mill EN-
ployees during the noon hour, as they
are thus enabled to have something
hot with their otherwise cold lunches.
Rather than go to the trouble Of pre-
pairing the dish. to say nothing Of fill-
ing the house with the odor of boiling
fat. many families prefer to purchase
the freshly cooked tubers from the
nearest vender. These fried potatoes
are not sold merely at mealtimes. but
during the day. and are eaten like pop
corn.-Consular Reports.

II II 10 to Secure Justice From Organ
lied Capital, Says Woodrow Wilson.
Few public men have taken such
definite ground on the question of the
rights and duties OF organized labor
as has Governor Woodrow Wilson OF
New Jersey. In a letter written to
one of the labor leaders of his home
state recently the governor said:
II have always been the warm friend
Of organized labor. 1t is. in my opin-
ion, not only perfectly legitimate, but
absolutely necessary, that labor should
organize II 1t is to secure justice from
organized capital. and everything that
it does to improve the condition OF
worklngmen, to obtain legislation that
will impose full legal responsibility
upon the employer for his treatment
of his employees and for their protec-
ton against accident, to secure just
and adequate wages and to put
reasonable limits upon the working
day and upon all the exactions Of
those who employ labor ought to have
the hearty support OF all fair minded
and public spirited men, for there is
sense In which the condition of labor
is the condition of the nation itself.
The laboring man cannot benefit him
self by injuring the industries of the
country l am much more afraid that
the great corporations. combinations
and trusts will do the country deep
harm than | am that the labor or
CARNATIONS will harm 1t. and yet be-
lieve the corporations to be necessary
