politics today with President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt covering the state
in anticipation of the primaries on
Monday. The democrats will have
rallies in various parts of the state,
but the leading candidates for pres
idential nomination honors wi.l not
take personal part because they
wound up their campaigns sarl:
The new primary law gives voters
the opportunity to bind the delegates
to the state convention to act on a
presidential candidate as their coh-
stituents instruct them, and a major
ity of delegates to the state conven-
ton acting as thus instructed can
choose a delegation to the national
convention, which must vote as a unit
fer the presidential nomination can
didate, thus giving the popular choice
Since delegates to the state conven-
ton are elected by counties except in
Baltimore, where the legislative dis
trict is the unit, the presidential pref
erence vote will be significant only as
it gives majorities in the various
counties and legislative districts. IN
tother words, the total preference vote
of the state will not necessarily de-
eide which candidate will get the
Maryland delegation to the national
convention.

, AUTO AND CAR IN COLLISION.
Big Mathewson Car Badly Damaged
Friday Afternoon.

In collision Friday afternoon be-
tween an electric car and the large
Mathewson auto owned by the naval
stores plant. the machine was badly
damaged and the driver narrowly es-
capped serious injuries.
1t seems that the auto was coming
in from the plant on l. street and
when it reached the intersection of
Norwich, the street car came along.
1t was impossible for the driver to
prevent collision, not seeing the
car until only a short distance from
it. He brought the car around, how
ever, as much as possible, and went
into the street car with only one
wheel, which was badly bent while
other portions of the auto were dam
aged. Fortunately no one was in
jured.

PRETTY HOMES
TO SOON GO UP
TWO HANDSOME RESIDENCES ON
UNION sTREET-oTHERs
TO BE ERECTED.

Brunswick will shortly witness one
of the largest building booms in the
way of resideices that the city has
experienced in a number of years.
Contracts have already been awarded
for the erection of two or three pretty
homes, while others will be let with
in short time.
One of the pretty residences, work
on which will begin shortly, will be
erected by Albert Fendig on Union
/ street. Mr.. Fendig has purchased
from F. D. M. Strachan a portion Of
the large lot corner of Union and
Prince streets. adjoining Mr..
Strachans home. The lot is 1S0x1S0
and the residence to be erected by
Mr. Fendig will be one of the hand
soonest in the city. 1t will be con-
structed of brick, handsomely finished
and will be completed within a few
months.
Another pretty residence to go up
in the same vicinity will be erected
! by S. S. Rickett on the large lot
just south Of the Mccullough home.
Mr. Rickett purchased this lot a
short time ago and will commence the
erection of a handsome stone resi-
dence within a very short time.
While announcements have not as
yet been made, it is known that sew
eral other pretty homes will be erect
ed by local people within a few
months, while it is understood that
one of the officials of the Southeastern
Yaryan Naval Stores company has

BROWN MET HORRIBLE
DEATH YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON. /!
Run Over by Southern Freight Train
at, Mt. Pleasant, His Body Being
Horribly MangIed-Died Few Min
utes After Reaching Hospital.

Atkinson Brown, a young white
man % years of age, whose home is
in this city, was run over by South
ern freight train at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon at Mt. Pleasant, and
his body was literally crushed to
pieces. He was rushed to this city
and carried to the hospital, but died
after he had been in the institution
only few minutes.
Young Brown left Lumber City yes
terday morning on the Southern rail-
way freight train, of which he was
hagman. When Mt. Pleasant was
reached the train stopped for some
time, shifting cars. 1t seems that
three of the freight cars were re-
leased from the engine and were
moving along the track slowly. They
started on a down grade, however,
and young Brown rushed to the end
OF the last car to apply the brakes.
lie at once discovered that he was
on the wrong side of the track and
he ran across the track in order to
reach the brakes. In his haste to
reach the brakes and stop the cars,
the unfortunate young man stumbled
and fell across the tracks, and all
three of the heavy box cars passed
over him.
There were two or three eye-wit-
nesses to the accident and they were
Mortified at the sight of the young
mans body being cut to pieces as
the heavy freight train passed over
1t. They Immediately went to his
assistance and DR.. J. p. Harrell, who
was at Mt. Pleasant, was at once
summoned, and he did everything
possible for the young man. His
right arm was, completely severed,
just at the shoulder, while his left
leg was severed at the hip and he
was otherwise injured. In fact it
seems that all four of the cars ran
over different portion of the young
man, and 1t was at once seen that
he had been fatally injured.
In an effort to get him to the local
hospital as rapidly as possible. he
was placed in the caboose Of the
freight train, the engine attached and
quick run was made to the city. DR..
Blanton was telephoned and the hos
pital ambulance was at the depot and
he was hastehed to the hospital, but
died before the physicians could make
an examination.
Atkinson Brown was a son of Mrs.
S. H. Brown, who resides at 627
Union street. He was an unusually
popular young man and had many
friends in the city who will be grieyed
to learn of the unfortunate accident.
Besides his mother, the young man
is survived by six brothers and four
sisters. The funeral will be held
at the family residence at 10 o'clock
Monday morning.

Nan Who Fired
First Shot Dead

Chattanooga, Tenn, May A spe-
cial from Dalton, Ca, says Dan Carey,
who claimed to have fired the first
shot of the Civil war, died there last
night. Mr.. Carey was member of
the Charleston cadets who volunteered
their services when the state seeded
and Mr.. Carey claimed to have been
on picket duty on Morris island and
fred the first shot on the "Star of
the West
The cadets then opened fire at this
alarm, and the ninth shot struck the
vessel and it backed out to sea, and
was thus prevented from carrying re-
Inducements to Fort Moultrie. This
was prior to the bombardment of Fort
Sumter.
Carey's activs service in lines was
brief as his expertness as a gun
smith caused his transfer from the
field to the shops. His strict relig-
ious and conservative life left his
friends no room to doubt the truth
of his claim to having fired the
warning gun as the Star of the West"
approached Fort Sumter.

Washington, May 4.-The army has
reached its limit in the distribution of
relief to the Mississippi river flood
sufferers, the entire appropriation for
the commissary department having
been exhausted.
Major Normoyle, in charge of the
relief work, was today instructed by
telegraph to contract for no more
supplies, as to do so would make him
subject to prosecution under the laws.
Congress has been asked for an appro-
priation to reimburse the commissary
department, and it is expected that
the present order of the war Depart
ment will have the effect of immedi-

NEW PROPOSITION HAS BEEN
PRESENTED TO MERCHANTS
OF BRUNSWICK.
Representatives of Gas White Way
Company Spends a Day Here and
Shows the Many Advantages Of Gas
Light over the Electrics.

The question of a white way has
again been taken up in Brunswick
and this time a new proposition is
to be considered, that of what is
known as a gas white way, which is
now in use in number of cities. E.
D. Brewer of Atlanta, representing a
well-known gas white way company,
was in the city yesterday a4d dis
cussed the matter with various meI
chants as well as representatives oi
the Mutual Light and Water COMPANY
and those who listened to Mr.. B ever
were very much impressed wl;n Lis
proposition.
He first went into detail and showed
the many advantages of the gas white
way over the electric white way. He
thinks that gas would prove the
more successful in Brunswick for
many reasons. In the first place the
gas company has all the power that
is necessary, that is their output is
not taxed, while on the other hand
the electrical machines now have al
most all they can carry.
Mr.. Brewer said that the gas light
is decidedly the more brilliant, it
gives a brighter and whittier light,
Eliminates large territory and is
altogether the more attractive of the
two; and, above all, they can be in.
stalled and maintained at small
cost-in fact, lower than the electric
lights.
Among the cities in this vicinity
now using the gas white way is Jack
~sonville, and the merchants Of that
city are more than pleased with them.
Both the electric and gas lights are
-,used in that city and the latter has
proved to be the better in many ways.
Local merchants were very favor
ably impressed with the proposition
and it is likely that the matter will
at once be taken up with the Mutual
Light and Water company. 1t was
pointed out by Mr.. Brewer that if the
light and water company would
make the merchants the same rate
on gas as they did on electricity for
the white way, that the cost would
be considerably reduced He figured
that each post, containing two or
three large lights, would not cost
more than $25 per year.
The question of a white way has
been considered by local merchants
for some time, and, while nearly. all
of them are in favor OF installing it,
it seems that they have not been
able to agree with the light and water
company on the question of rates, etc.
Now that the gas proposition has
been placed before them, it is hoped
that some decision will be arrived
at.

Religion Movement
Proving Success

At meeting of the advisory COM
mittee of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, held during the past
week, it was decided not to have a
meeting of the organization today
There has been some misconception
of the main purposes of this move
ment which is having such tremen-
dous sweep over the entire country.
Recognizing the Importance of arous-
ing men and boys to greater activity
in religious matters, and as well the
need of the churches in the matter of
more thorough organization for prac-
tical and effective work in the So
luton of the great problems that con-
front the world, this movement was
inaugurated to accomplish these pur-
poses. The plan is to have an aggres-
sive campaign in every city, town
and community in the country. This
involves a thorough study of condi-
tions as they exist in each locality
which most vitally affects the morals,
health and general welfare of the
people.
After statistics are gathered thru
committees appointed for the purpose,
experts trained in this particular work
visit the community, mass meetings
are held, the facts are placed plainly
and. strikingly before the men that
they may see for themselves just
what the conditions are, and just what
they can and should do to improve
them.
Particular attention is given to the
issues between capital and labor in
so far as they affect the religious at
titude of the individuals, the great
aim being to bring men of all classes
to recognition of the necessity of
giving every man "a square deal,' in
all the affairs of life, and which prin-
ciple is involved and solved in the
Golden Rule promulgated by Jesus
Christ. Therefore every man who
subscribes to the doctrine 'as ye
would that men should do unto you,
do ye also unto them," should heart
lily support this splendid movement.
The advisory committee of the
Brunswick organization are deter
mined to conduct this campaign Wig
orously and effectively, and have ap-
pointed special committee to inves-
tigate and report a course of proce-
dure. When the program is complet-
ed a meeting of the general organi-
cation will be called and the recon-
mendations of the committee will be
submitted, and it is certain that the
members will give their cordial and
active cooperation in carrying out
these plans.
