A PRETTY LAUNCH
FOR OCLETHORPE
ONE HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY
HOTEL FOR USE OF THE
WINTER GUESTS.

Manager Mckenzie of the Ogle-
hcrDe hotel, while in New York last
week, purchased a large and com
Portable launch, which is to be used
by parties at the hotel during the com

York and will be brought to the city
shortly.
The need of such a boat has long
since been realized by the manage
ment of the hotel, and, as next wiater
is expected to be banner one at the
popular hotel, the boat will be here in
time for parties who desire to go on
fishing and hunting trips.
In this connection it is safe TO
state that next winter the Oglethorpe
will entertain an unusually large
number of winter tourists. Already
many large parties have already en-
gagged accommodations for the entire
winter, while many people have al
will be here for two or three weeks.

TO
PLAY HERE TODAY
FAST FLORIDA AGGREGATION
COMING OVER FOR GAME
WITH THE LOCALS.

Brunswick's oldtime baseball rivals,
Fernandina, will be here for one game
this afternoon, and it is expected to
be the most interesting battle of the
season. The Florida team will come
over on an excursion, arriving in the
city about noon, and 1t is understood
that a large number of Fernandina
rooters will come along to assist their
team in winning the game. Just how
strong team Fernandina has this
season is not known, but the little
Florida city has always been strong Oh
baseball and 1t is expected that the
club will be a fast one
In this connection 1t might be stated
that the attendance at the games dur
ing the past two days has not been at
all encouraging. Only small crowds
have attended the two games and they
have been played at loss. An ef
fort is being made to give the local
fans good baseball during the re-
mainder of the season, but this can,
not re done unless the game is bet
ter patronized. The club Is one Of
the best Brunswick has ever had and
the team is being maintained at a
heavy expense. If the game is prop
erly supported the club can be main
tanned without loss to the manage
ment, otherwise it is doubtful if we
will have good ball during the re-
mainder of the summer.
A number Of fast clubs have been
booked to play here in the near future
and it is to be hoped that the fans
will patronize the game. Let every
body go to the game this afternoon
and show that they want baseball in
Brunswick.

HOLD GOVERNOR RESPONSIBLE.
For the Judiciary of State is the Aim
of This Bill.

Ot Ills Dill.
Atlanta, Ga, July Ito make
the governor directly responsible for
the judiciary of the state by making
the selection of supreme, appellate
and superior court judges, and so;ici-
tors generally appointive by him is the
substance of bill introduced by SEN
ator ]. H. Felker of the 9th district
and which is stirring up no little talk
throughout the state. The bill asks
that the governor appoint the judges
and solicitors general and that they
be confirmed by the senate, instead of
allowing the people to name these Of
ficials at the ballot box.
The author of the bill is of the
opinion that the people are tired of
the present system of electing judges
that more general satisfaction would
be obtained if these officials were ap-
pointed. The bill means simply re-
turn to the system in operation about
six years. age.
Another bill of Senator Felker's
which is creating considerable talk
is that asking for a regulation of the
salaries of judges and solicitors gen
eral. The bill was introduced by Sen
ator Felker at the request of the Geor-
gia Bar association and fixes the sal
aries of supreme and appellate court
judges at $4,000 annually. superior
court judges at $4,000; attorney gen
eral at $4,000, and solicitors general
at $2500.
