THE PETITION
WAS PRESENTED
G. c. G. p. ASKS FOR AUTHORITY
TO ISSUE THREE MIL
LIONS IN BONDS.

News was received from Atlanta
yesterday to the effect that the pc
tition of the Georgia Coast and Pied
mont Railroad company, for author
ity to issue $3,OOO,OOO in bonds, was
presented to the Georgia railroad
commission yesterday morHing, and,
after hearing arguments on the pc
tition from various people interested,
the commission took the matter into
consideration and will render their
decision within a short time.
There is no doubt whatever as to
the outcome of the petition. In fact
it is merely formality in asking
the commission for authority to issue
the bonds, such action being neces-
sary in order to comply with state
law on the subject.
The promoters of the road are now
making every arrangement to begin
active work on the extension of the
road and it is their intention to have
a large force at work before the first
! OF July.
The local delegation who attended
the hearing in Atlanta yesterday will
return to the city this morning.

HAVE A LICENSE
TO SELL MILK
HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO MAKE
EFFORT FOR PURE MILK
IN THIS CITY.

In an effort TO give the people of
Brunswick pure milk, the health de-
partment OF the city, under the dlrec-
tion Of City Physician Mann. has
started out to improve the milk SER
vice of the city and hereafter all the
dairies doing business in the city
will have to first procure a license
from the city.
The new rule has not as yet been
put into effect, but the licenses are
now being printed and will be deliv-
cred to the city within a few days
and shortly notice will be issued that
every person in the city engaged in
selling milk must first secure Ii
cenSe.
The new health officer is of the
opinion that much of the sickness II
Brunswick, especially during sum-
mer months, is due to impure milk
and he is going to make every effort
to prevent the sale of such milk in
the future. When a person secures
license he will be required to state
the number of COWS on hand, amount
of milk delivered daily, etc. The is
suing of license is only the first ster
that the health department is to make
in its crusade for pure milk.

Battle Hard Fou oht.

, At Federal Front, near Reilano,
Mexico, May 23.-Yesterday's battle
was renewed at.daybreak today. After
two weeks of hard marching through
the desert plains of northern Mexico,
General Huerta, commanding about
1000 federal troops, finally forced
General Orozco's army of 5000 insur-
rectos today into a battle which may
prove to be the turning point of the
Mexican revolution.
Repairing bridges and constructing
practically a new railroad over the
course, which had been taken by the
retreating rebels, the government
troops had pushed their way today
exactly ia miles north of Torreon
to a battle-ground, where the rebels
finally appeared willing to engage
them.
At Gaybreak the heavy artillery fire
of the federals was renewed. Five
hours of steady shelling from the for
ty big guns in the government line
had yesterday been slowly disorganiz-
ing the enemy when night interrupt
ed the combat. With vigOr, both sides
resumed fighting today. The heavy ar
tillery of the federals, projecting
shells nearly four miles, is counted
upon by the government to drive the
insurrectos out of the west, as was
the case in the last battle at Conejos
a week ago Sunday.
The battlefield, just outside of Re-
1lano, is a sandy mesa with its ap-
proaches visible for miles. High
grasses form a cover for the infan-
try for a short distance, but indica-
tions early today were that if cavalry
charges follow advantages gained by
the artillery they might prove de-
structive. The rebels are well forti-
fed in Rellano.

FLOOD REFUGEE CAMPS
ARE WELL ORGANIZED

New Orleans, May 23.-Conditions,
sanitary and otherwise. of Mississippi
river flood refugee camps at Ather-
ton, Milliken's Bend, Natchez and
Vicksburg are excellent, and splen-
did work has been done by Captain
Hageman of the United States army,
the Red Cross and other relief or
9anizations, according to John M
Parker of this city, who returned to-
day from an eight weeks experience
in the flooded district, and furnished
the Associated Press with a state
ment of the situation in the flooded
district.
Mr. Parker is the owner of a
large and valuable plantation inun-
dated by the Salem crevasse, causing
property loss to him of several
thousand dollars Several herds of
thoroughbred cattle were drowned
on his plantation.
Many planters who lost their all
when the Salem levee broke, said Mr.
Parker, did heroic rescue work with
the certainty of no reward except the
satisfaction of duty well and faith
fully done. Men of the highest stand
ing in social, professional and finan-
cial circles time after time risked
their lives to rescue some unfortunate
negro family

GOLF
TEAM IS COMING
GAME TO BE

MORROW AFTERNOON,

A large delegation OF Savannah
golfers will arrive in the city tomor-
row morning for the purpose of play
ing a match game with the local
golf club on the Brunswick links to-
morrow afternoon. 1t is expected
that about fifteen members of the Sa-
vannah club will come over and an
equal number of local golfers will be
selected to play them.
Savannah and Brunswick both have
unusually large golf clubs and among
the members are some OF the best
players in the state, therefore a match
game between the two organizations
should prove very interesting.
A special event of the game tomor-
row afternoon will be a match be-
tween two professionalism one in charge

ARTILLERY FIRE CUTS REBELS S
TO PIECES IN A SEEl-
Gus CONFLICT.
UnfaVorabe Conditions Make it I'm.
possible for Either Side to Keep
Their Forces in the Field for Any
Length of Time.

Washington, May 23.-Four hundred
miles south of the American border,
near RellanO, along the Mexican Cen
tral, fierce battle is in progress to-
day between the rebel forces in -ot tn
Mexico under General Pasqual Orozco
and he Mexican federals commanded
by General Huerta. The battle may
prove to be the turning point of the
revolution
Late yesterday the federals attack
ed Since then the firing has been
almost incessant. 1t is estimated that
$500 troops are engaged on each side
and already scores of dead and in
jured dot the high mesa desert bat
tleground.
The advantage early today appear
ed to be with the rebels, in that they
held their strongly fortified positions
in front of Rellano, repelling the re-
peated federal charges of the federal
cavalry and infantry The govern
ment has the most artillery. If the
rebels are dislodged it will be be-
cause of the superior commanding of
the federal force, which alone, in the
last two weeks, has been gradually
forcing the rebels a distance of ia
miles north and away from Torreon,
the railway gateway of north central
Mexico.
Tocreon originally was the objective
point of the revolutionists in this
campaign. The scarcity of food and
water, the burning heat and the stiff
ling atmosphere that spreads over the
sandy tableland where the battle to-
day RACES make it seem impossible for
either side to keep it's whole force
in the field for many hours at a
time. 4~
