THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND REWS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER I. ISOT. WHERE REAL HISTORY AND PLEASING ROMANCE JOIN HANDS .WITH GREAT INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA "LIGHTHOT?j£"JJABBT LZE'J Gm. Bustling Spirit in Keeping With the Times. E VEN ns the crow flies It la n far cry from the ordinary, hmn ilrum of trade and eommerco In and around Industrious Atlanta and hustling Birmingham, with Its mines and furnaces, to the historic, poetic and roman tic shades of Brunswick and tho beautiful fringe of Islands which surround her. Ynnng In fears, btft sturdy ef limb and strong In progression, Atlanta and Birmingham hare far outstripped their elder sister city of Ilrunstvlck In the mater'll! things of life. Ilut while dollar-gettlng hns keen the chief endeavor of these two cities, the people of Brunswick, the beautiful city by the sea, have enjoyed surroundings rich In li and teeming with points of Interest l fled with tne cradle days of our grent re public. And now, even though the march of prog- jss has Invaded the moss-covered branches under which Hldney Lnnler composed his Immortal poem, "The Marshes of Glynn — has drawn well np to the last resting Discs of the dashing amt Chivalrous Light Horse Horry Leo—threatens an assault upou the mighty oak under which John Wesley —itched f- • - - Jin* calm , by years of Indulgence and of excitement. Mansions Hidden In Foliage, Cumberland and Bt. Simons Islands, with thtlr long stretches of beach lapped by the wares of the gulf stream, afford ocean bathing and recreation unknown to any other dime: Inland waters are alive with the flnny tribe which delight the heart of •; deer, turkey, qnall and other game and birds abound In abundance, har ing long been undisturbed by tho crock of a rifle or the boom of a repeater. Magnlll- cent mansions art tucked away beneath the tropical foliage and are almost as secure In their pleasant obscurity as are the cottages which perch along the Inland streams. On Jekyl Island, a scant live miles across Brunswick bay, has been erected a club house famed alike In Knrope and America for Ite exclusiveness and the luxury of Ite short distance up the bay intleea, Ogte- ints of which day . Across Is l rederloa, where 1 thorpe erected his fort, ramus remain Inta * ‘ — (Unions . >r of a of the treacherous rocks not far distant from the course.which their ships are ply ing. And a shorter dlstanco removed Is the stately castle of Andrew Carnegie, lo cated on Dungeueat Island.. Busy Naval Stores Center. There are many other points of Interest, all within easy access of tho broad and spacious verandas of the Oglethorpe Hotel, typically Southern In Its hospitality bnt a sure Indication of the modern way of living known to those who Insist upon comfort and convenience. Immediately surrounding the hotel Is Brunswick, the city which has a reputation far and wide ns a busy naval ■tores center; the city which has a Lovers oak the like of which la unknown to any Other place, and which has Hanover l'ark, the retreat Ideal. until a comparatively few years ago the ••tractions In and around Brunswick were little known to the outside world. Histo rians had dwelt long on the advantage of the place as a strategic point In case of war; masters of finance had cast eyes south ward with a view to establishing a shipping point that would tap the very heart of the couth and bring the coal and Iron of Ala- noma, the cotton and lumber and tarpon- •Ins of Oeonta wlthki —— consumers of the North *s foreign ports. But I _ syndicate headed by Harry or Atlanta, undertook the work that Bruns, wick and her surroundings were brought Prominently Into the public eye. and things of which some men had dreamed and others planned were .really executed. Marsh Lands Are Reclaimed. Acres of marsh lands have been reclaimed t easy hauls of the h and East, as well It was not until a Harry M. Atkinson, >lers for the Urunawlck Htentnshlp Coin ■my. a line plying between Boston, New . irk. Brunswick and Havana. It Is o Geor gia company, chartered tiuder the laws of Georgia, Its ships bearing distinctive Genr- S in names and advertising Brunswick and le state of Georgia to every port where n ship touches. Concrete plica, reinforced with stcol. have been sunk far down into the bed of the harbor to make a docking place for heavily-laden ships. Thousands ' ” rs have been expended to secure ter that the ships may come and go with capacity loads. Every convenience known to modern shipping has been In stalled so that the ships of this line which touch at Brunswick are on a par with the ships of auy other line In the world that touch at any other port. Working In conjunction with the Bruns wick steamship Company, and supplying the steel link with which Birmingham, At lanta and Brunswick are Joined, Is the At lanta. Birmingham and Atlantic railroad. In Brunswick many acres of land In the very heart of the city have been acquired on which has been constructed a modern pas senger and freight station; a tittle farther removed are the freight yards, where cars ded and Carnegie wanted to contribute to tho beauty of the landscape. Mauy points of Interest and beauty combined were visited on nil S nrta of the Atlnutlc const. It was hard to ml a place not too warm In summer, not too cool In winter, not too barren and not overgrown with tanglewood and foliage, a place easy of nccess to steamship lines and yet not In the range of the noise of com merce. That Duiigeneas Island, within hailing distance of Brunswick—If one has u rood pair of lungs—was selected tribute to ‘ "“ — this hnve said to be all that wraith and taste could make It. Outside It stands ma jestic amid Its attractive surroundings and walls to one's mind the stories of Scotland In her duys of chivalry. They Like Brunswick. The trip to Dungenesa can not lie made direct; uelther ran the trip to Jekyl Island. As a rule the mistress of the tfltstlo ns well ss the dub members like to stot are loaded and trains are made up'to send their burdens of freight to all parts of the United States. Advanced by Rapid 8trides. Conditions are well nigh paradoxical. It seems Impossible that, with all the beau- ty and peacefulness of Brunswick, with her points of historic Interest Intact, that commerce and Industry should havo ad vanced with such rapid strides and to with in so nearly a perfect state. It was not accomplished In a day. nor In a year, but after long years of bard work, Infinite pains and careful planning. The result la even greater and more satisfactory than the pro. motors ever hoped. As for the people of the ocean city, they nr* enthusiastic.

SOCIOLOGICAL “THE LAW AND ' THE BOY” The fall session of the Georgia State Sociological Society was opened st tho Carnegie library last Thursday by Dr. Al fred E. Seddon. who tpoke moat Inter- eatlngly on the subject, "The Law and the R or." In the course of bis remsrks, he said: “The term* of tha title of our topic may r aotne as incongruous, for, of all BfMs. the boy Is the moat lawlcee.

Every state In the union places Its protecting ana oow op !*«« around th« defenseless boy. Thus It It that the law sajs what trades the toy may op may not engage In. In«® what places may op may not go. The law, In some place*, fires the business boy a badge which sepres the doable function of a license and protec tion. Societies are organised for the pre vention of cruelty to children, and thew* societies bare legal sanction In their to.iefl- cent activity and watchfulness.

But whatever wrong they had committed against* society, society has committed a greater wrong against them.

A Junior Republic. ,r One of the most successful attempts to bring about a change of the relation be tween the toy and the law hns been tho or- Ion of fl at rn Junior ttepublle by W. It. .grille, in New York state, n. who bad previously toen „ mission work among toys. twelve years ago conceived tha Idea of founding a self-governing colony of boy* which. In a miniature way, should to u copy of the greater republic outside. The community has a toy prealdeot: It hns houses of representatives composed of tovs who make the laws for the Junior Republic. It has a police system composed exclusively of toys. In nddlthm to this. It has various Industries and trades, so that the colony Is. as nearly as posstylr, self-sustaining. The boy* have tbrir own currency and ever h«iv<» I before them the wholesome motto. •Nothing without labor/ The comforts and privileges they enjoy are strictly commen surate with their Industry and the quality of their work., "L’nder this system It will readily be seen that the attitude of the toys toward the law la entirely changed.
