OLD ORDINANCE
!. IS DISCOVERED
WHICH PREVENTS NEW HEALTH
OFFICER FROM COMING
JUST AT PRESENT.
The Ordinance Provides that in Or
der to Serve as Health officer,
Physician Must Practice in Seaport
TtdJf for TWO Years.

In order to be a city physician and
health officer of the city of Brunswick
physician, in order to qualify for
the position, must practice medicine
in the city for at least two years.
This is charter provision wn1cn
is proving serious problem just at
present, when a physician of Dur
ham, n. c., has already been elected
to the position, but who will not re-
port fol- duty until the matter is set
tied fol fear some legal question may
later arise.
1t will be remembered that DR..
Mann of Durham, was elected to the
position of city physician and health
officer a few weeks ago and he was
to nave arrived in the city this week,
but his coming now depends on the
action of council in amending an
ordinance which will give the city the
legal right to employ the new physi-
clan.
1t appears that years ago, before
the quarantine was under the super
vision of the federal government, that
the city passed an ordinance or char
ter amendment providing that q
health officer should be resident OF
the, city for at least two years be-
fore he could qualify. This was done
for the simple reason that it was
believed that "a physician should be
familiar with the ports condition in
order to fill the position, as the quar-
antine was then in charge of the
city.
After the government assumed
charge of the quarantine, however
the ordinance was never amended and
was rot discovered until few days
ago.
There was committee meeting OF
council yesterday to discuss the mat
ter ard it is understood that an
agreement was reached and at the
next meeting Of council the ordi-
nanceowill be so amended as to do
away with the two-year qualification
and DR.. Mann will be at once notified
and will then report for duty.

SIDNA ALLEN AGAIN
REPORTED TO BE SEEN

Mount Airy, N c., April 5.-Sidna
Allen was seen again last nlgAt in
the mountains twelve miles from this
city. Sheriff C. H. Haynes of Sur
rey count, with detectives and blood
hOun Is, started on the trail early to-
day.
ShHg Smith, reputable resident Of
the mountains, telephOned to Sheriff
Haynes that Sidna Allen was at his
home last night for food. He told the
sheriff to come Immediately with the
bloo1hounds. Smith lives between
Ward and Willis Gap, in the section
where Allen was last reported four
days ago
Smith did not inform the sheriff
whether or not he had given Allen
food, but it is presumed that he did,
and tt at the outlaw had gone back
into the mountains in his hiding place.
The detectives believe that Wesley
Edwards, the other fugitive, is with
Allen il the mountains, and they hope

EARLY CLOSING
HOURS in EFFECT
RAILROADS, WHOLESALERS AND
OTHERS WILL CLOSE AT
O'CLOCK TODAY.

The new summer Saturday closing
hours will go into effect in Bruins
wick today, and for the next six
months all the railroad freight depots,
wholesale establishments and other
places in the city will be closed for
business after 1 o'clock each Satur-
day.
Notice was published by the rail
roads some time ago that the new
Saturday hours would become effec-
tive on the first Saturday in April
and elsewhere in The News this morn
ing all wholesale dealers in the city
announce they will also adopt the
o'clock closing hour, effective today.
An effort is still being made by a
NUMBER of merchants to get all retail
stores in the city to close at 1 on
one afternoon each week, thus giving
the clerks an afternoon off. Of course
the retailers could not close at that
hour on Saturday, which is their bus
lest day, but it is pointed out by
those who favor the plan that all
retail stores could close at l o'clock
on Friday afternoons, little inconven-
ienci1g their patrons and at the same
time granting q great favor to the
clerks. The movement may prove
successful within the next few weeks.

DesoIation at Cairo, III.

Cairo, April 5-The only rail con-
nection Cairo has today is by tug boat
to Mound City to reach the Big Four.
The tracks of the Illinois Central
railroad through the drainage district
went out with the flood last night,and
more than three thousand feet of the
road5ed is gone.
The river at Cairo has fallen one
tenth cf foot during the last twen-
ty-four hours.
The drainage district north of Cairo
presents a desolate scene. The tops
of houses and lumber from houses
and shed floats in water probably ten
feet deep.
The water went into the eastern
part of the district last night with
a rush and a roar. The lumber piles
at the yards were turned over and
toss ed about like toothpicks.
Water reached the subway of the
Illinois Central railway bridge ap-
proach before dark and at midnight
had almost reached the top of the
bulkhead when it reached the level.
|. All of the workers have been
brought from the drainage district
to Cairo to work on the levees here.
The big subway and Cairo cross
Ievees stood firm against the angry
rush of waters in the drainage dis

THIS COUNTY IS
NOW INTERESTED
(
FIGHT BETWEEN WILSON AND
UNDERWOOD is ATTRACT
ING ATTENTION.
Not Until 1t is Over Will Voters Pay
Any Attention to Candidates for
Governor and Congressman from
This District.

Local politics, as we'll as the CUB
ernatorial race, have been overslaI-
owed in Glynn county and elsewhere
IN Georgia by the presidential pri-
mary, which is to be held on May
L, and politicians and the people gen.
orally are watching the final outcome
with much interest.
Just as if the presidential nomi-
nation depended entirely upon the
action of the voters of Georgia is
the c; mpaign being waged, and, while
there are a half dozen candidates for
the democratic nomination, a fight
is oeing made for only two of them
in Georgia. They are Governor Wood
row Wilson, of New Jersey, ana Con-
gresham Underwood, of Alabama, and
the tght for the Georgia delegation
to the national convention will be
between these two candidates.
1t is doubtful if any of the other
asplrants for the nomination will get
even handful of votes in Georgia;
IN tact Harmon and Clark, the other
two leading candidates, are not even
being mentioned, and the lines have
now been so closely drawn that even
those who favored either of the lat
ter named gentlemen at the outset
will Now either vote for Wilson or
Underwood. From general reports
over the state the race between these
two candidates is very close, with
Underwood slightly the favorite.
1t is expected, however, that as
soon as this primary is over, at which
county officers will also be elected,
that the politicians will turn their. at
9tention to the gubeEnatorial and con-
gressional race, both Of which prom
Use 10 be exceedingly exciting. There
are three candidates in the race al
ready for governor, and a like num-
Der out for congress from this dis
trict, but all of the candidates have
realized there is little use to endeavor
to interest the people until the pres
iden5ial primary is over.

serious wreck. At a water tank

two miles the track was defective.
One OF the driving wheels of a

Roosevelt train had left the rail and
before it was discovered it had run
for two miles, slipping off the heads
of the bolts holding the rail. The

from behind the banks to high

At Golden Lake, fifty miles north

Lake as the most dangerous point.
Here the levee is very steep and less
capable of standing the strain than
embankments of a wide base.

families to the towns and their stock
and farming implements to high
ground.
The government dredge fleet at
Memphis is being utilized in saving
life end property.
Gasoline launches were sent out
from Charleston, Mo-, to Birds Mill
and Wyatt to rescue residents of the
two villages, who are reported cling
