COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND
CITY COUNCIL TO HOLD
SESSION TODAY.
Will Decide on Amount to Be Ap-
propriated for New Chamber of
Commerce-FuIi Amount Asked for
May Be Appropriated.

A joint meeting of the city council
and the Glynn county commissioners
VIII be held at the courthouse this
morning at 1870 o'clock for the pur-
pose Of taking up the quest IN of
making an appropriation of $4,000
each for the new Brunswick chamber
of commerce. The two bodies dee d.
ed that before taking any action or
the petition of the committee, askiug
for the appropriation, that jo,ds
meeting should be held and the mat
ter discussed by the members of both
organizations. The special commit
tee of the new commercial body will
also be present to urge the appropri-
alton.
While it is not known whether or
not the city and county will appro-
pirate the full amount asked for, it is
practically certain that a very sub
stantial appropriation will be made.
The members of the committee, how
ever, all agree that in order to oper-
ate the new body properly four thou
sand dollars will be needed. Out Of
this sum the new paid secretary Is to
receive his salary, the expenses of
the board paid, advertising matter
prepared, while there are a number
of incidentals which will take money.
Inasmuch as the people of the city
have already endorsed, by their votes,
the full appropriation, showing con-
clusively that they are in favor of
it, the two bodies may decide to ap-
proprlate the full amount. Chairman
Twitty, of the committee, is of the
opinion that it will take at least $4,000
to defray all the expenses of the COM
mercial body during the FIRST year,
and he, together with other members
Of the committee, will probably be
present at the joint meeting this
morning to urge the full appropria-
tion

Hattiesburg, Miss, May 6. = Four
trainmen and six or more passengers
We're killed and forty passengers and
members of the train crew injured
when the first section of the Texas
Confederate reunion special enroute to
Macon, Ga, was wrecked at Gums
Mill, on the New Orleans & North
eastern railroad, six miles north Of
Hattiesburg, at 8.45 a. m.
Five bodies were brought to Hat
tiesburg on the cars of the special,
which remained on the track, and FIVE
or six other bodies were reported un-
der the wreckage.
The engine, baggage car, the day
coach and three tourist sleepers left
the track and rolled down an embank-
ment. The remaining coaches of the
veterans special were hurriedly trans
formed into a morgue and hospital,
and as soon as an engine reached the
scene the dead and injured were
brought here. The injured, some of
|, whom are believed to be fatally hurt,
filled the two hospitals of Hatties-
burg, while the dead were taken to
an undertaking establishment.
Doctors Rush to Scene.
Five doctors and three nurses
reached the scene of the terrible ac-
cident within half an hour after the
. first news reached here. Living COM
rades of the dead and injured vete-
rams, however, had not forgotten the
lessons they learned on the field of
battle, and their attention to the dead
and ministrations to the wounded
were prompt. With the assistance
of the members of the train crew
whose lives were spared, the passen-
gers soon had all the injured removed
to the cars that stood on the tracks,
and had gathered together the bodies
of as many of the dead as it was pos
sible to reach before a wrecking der
rick could reach the scene to lift the
debris from those pinioned beneath
it. The dead:
Mrs. Charles Holmes, Bay Springs,
Tex.
Mrs. James Cameron, Henderson,
Tex.
Two unidentified girls, aged and
(parents thought to be under the
wreck.
Engineer Billy Wood, Hattiesburg.
Fireman G. C. Jones, negro, Meri-
dian. 3%i
DR.. Boone, Mr. Denham and one
other man from Mansfield, La, are
missing and thought to be under the
wreckage.
Five bodies are positively known
to be under the wreckage.
James S. Downing, Atlanta, Ga,
president of the Downing Locomotive
Draft Appliance company, who was
riding on the engine.

COMMITTEE TO
MAKE DELEGATES
MEETING OF COUNTY EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE TO BE HELD
THIS MORNING.

The democratic executive commit
tee will meet at the courthouse this
morning at II o'clock for the purpose
of naming delegates to the state con-
vention to be held in Atlanta on May
20, at which delegates to the national
democratic convention at Baltimore
will be electeI.
Just who will be named to repre-
sent this county at the state conven-
ton is not known, but the
question of naming the dele
gates will be left mostly with the
those who took aA active part in the
campaign and who are considered the
Underwood leaders of the county. 1t
is probable that four delegates and
an equal number of aIternates will
be selected.
In this connection candidates are
bobbing up rapidly for delegates to
the national convention, and it is ex-
pected that there will be some inter-
esting contests to be decided at the
Atlanta convention.
Many of Congressman Brantley's
friends in different sections of the
state are urging him as one of Geor-
gia's delegates at large and it is more
than probable that Mr.. Brantley will
be one of the big four" in the event
he expresses a desire to attend the
Baltimore convention.

MEET TONIGHT TO DISCUSS
THE QUESTION.

Whether or not the Business Mems
club Of Chesterfield county and South

The committee appointed at the last
meeting OF the association to confer

has talked with almost every business
man On the Soutbside. and all seem to
be in favor keeping the organization

the annexation of Manchester TO
Richmond.
Some of the members claim that
