DANBURY HATTERs' CASE

What about the Danbury Hatters' case?" was the chief question. One man started it, but others took it up and the words were echoed by many voices. MT. Hughes heard the commotion and, think ing that it came from men on the edge of the crowd that had not heard his ref erence to the Adamson law, said:
 "If you will tell my friends over there what I have said, I think they will un- derstand my views"
 Later MT. Hughes said he had not heard the reference to the Danbury Hat ters' case.
 In his second address at Toledo and in his speeches tonight, MT. Hughes re- newed his attack on the administration for the Adamson law and declared that it was the duty of the executive to stand Hike a rock for the principle of inves- tigation before legislation and not to sur render to force.
 ISSUES CHALLENGE
 MT. Hughes challenge to the adminis- tration was part of his attack on the administration for it's Mexican policy.

"John Lind was authorized to make this statement to a minister rep resenting a foreign power in Mexico; Huerta will be put out if he does not get out That it is the preference of the President that it be accomplished by do- mestic means if possible, but if it can not be done by domestic means, other means adequate for the purpose will be resorted to-
 'That is a declaration of personal wal upon Huerta to be carried to the conclu- sion of elimination despite the state ments that we have made and the repre- sentations that we were to recognize the sovereignty of Mexico and not attempt to interfere in the conduct of her af- fairs.

ATLANTA, Aug. 30.-No trace of

OMAHA JUDGE GRANTS ORDER
RESTRAINING STRIkERS-BOTH
SIDES PREPARE FOR WALk-OUT
LOCAL LINES ARE
ALL PREPARING
BELIEVED THEY WILL OPERATE
TRAINS IF STRIKE is
DECLARED.

While none of the local officials
5f eny of tie lines were in position
to deny or confirm the report, it was
reported yesterday that the railroads
entering Brunswick believing that
the big strike is inevitable, were all
preparing to contiEae the operation
of their trains, and while it was stat
ed that service would necessarily be
reduced to great extent Still it
way said that the lines were now Sc
suring sufficient number of men,
at present engaged in other railroad
service to handle trains. and that ev-
erythng possible would be done to
prevent an entire hold-up of their
lines.
This report also came from other
roads in various sections of the coun-
yy, it being announced that hun
dreds OF men had been secured and
were getting in readiness to operate
the trains.
Hundreds of people are asking rail
road employees what they expect the
result to be, but none of them will
venture an opinion Everybody seems
of the same idea, that We'll just have
to wait and see what will happen.
AS stated. however, all of the larg-
or lines are busy making prepara-
tions to meet the strike situation
as best they can, and 1t is stated on
good authority that all of these roads
have made and are now perfecting ar
rangements for the operation of
number of trains.
In the event the big railroad strike
is inaugurated next Monday morning
how long will it be before Brunswick
will suffer to any great extent?
That was the question which was
asked number of times yesterday,
and various answers were forthcom-
ing. Many people seemed to be of
the opinion that the city would begin
to run short foodstuff Immediately,
while others expressed the belief that
it would be weeks before there would
really be any suffering.
It was learned that most Of the
ftTuHSWltk WilOItodiC DOuo0p hafO
now on hand quite large supply of
everything classed as a necessity. and,
as it would be practically impossible
to ship any of it out Of the city, the
ennire supply would be for local CON
sumption. and it was therefore point
ed out that it would be weeks before
the city would feel the effects of
the strike. from the standpoint of
focdstuffs.
But it was generally admitted that
the supply of staple groceries is not
any too large, and many of those who
are in position to figure just how long
the supply would last, expressed an
opinion that all grocers would be en-
tirely out Of various supplies in less
than two weeks.
But Brunswick is about as well pre-
nared to feed herself as any city in
the state. With plenty of cattle in
the nearby country, the meat situa-
ion could be easily solved. especially
with fish, shrimp and other sea food
so plentiful. Chickens and eggs,
while not so plentiful just at present,
will soon be sufficient to supply the
city for some time: our farmers all
are planting a fall crop and will have
the usual If not larger supply, there
fore, in event the strike continues
for any great length of time. Bruins
wick would hardly face a serious
shortage Of food.

FOR NURSERY
Unless Nursery Is Established

POSSIBILITY HERE BRIGHT
Temperature Is Better Than
That of Mobile Where Satsu-
ma Is Successfully Grown
If New Industry Is Begun Will
Mean Much for County.
'OSSIBILITY HERE BRIGHT

For some time lot of talk has
been INDUCED in regarding the pos
sibilities of fruit-growing as new
industry in Glynn county. Now comes
forward something which may dispel
all talk and if it reaches fruition to
greatly enrich the county and Bruins
wick
, 1t was learned yesterday that the
Citronette concern, of Mobile, Ala,
now holds an option on a 30-acre tract
of land within six miles of Bruins
wick with a view to establishing
nursery here. This means that $100
has been placed up by the Alabama
concern and that this amount will be
forfeited unless the nursery becomes
reality.
Mr.. ]. A. Dew, who has been en-
gagged in the work of~fnspecting the
fruit trees of Glynn county for the
past several weeks, states that his in
vestigations have revealed the fact
that the county is particularly adapted
to the new industry and that he sees
no iCdoOH that II SHOull
not become a great and important in
dustry here.
During the past several weeks
the matter of growing the Satsuma
orange in this county has been un-
der consideration. Sometime ago
a representative of the concern In
Mobile came to Brunswick and Secre-
tary Smith. of the board of trade,
took him about over the county. In
formation was sought as to the adap-
liability of the county for growing the
Satsuma orange and Secretary Smith
sent it forward to Mobile.
On securing the information rep
resentative Of the Mobile concern
was attracted by the possibilities
here. 1t was only short time before
the option was secured on the land
here which is now the collateral
which will be forfeited unless the
nursery becomes an actually.
What about the advantages Glynn
county offers over the section on
which the Satsuma is being success
the question which first needed an
answer. That answer was found to
be greatly in favor of Glynn coun-
ty as regarding the climate. In 1899
the temperature in Mobile reached
degree above zero. At the same
time in Brunswick the temperature
was IL to II degrees. iFigures fur
nished by Secretary Smith show that
the average mean temperature in this
section for a period of ID years is
7-10 degrees warmer than in Mo-
bile, the Gulf stream coming nearer
the Georgia coast.
People who are skeptical about the
future OF the industry and what it
will mean need to be shown what it
has done for Mobile and the section
in which the fruit is grown. Figures
shown by the representative who re-
Gently came to Brunswick told Secre-
tary Smith, of the beard of trade
that since its beginning there it had
meant 500 100000 to the section. The
land alone on which the fruit trees
are has enhanced in value about
St, 100000
1t is seen how much this new in
dustry will mean if it gets started
here. Many acres of land now almost
non-productive will lie turned to pro-
duction.

sympathy of easry citizen.
Itis hoped to secure for Brunswick
a modern Terminal railroad station.
If the efforts Just begun induce the
railroads to consolidate the two de-

it is pointed out people entering the
