OUR ROADS
BOWEN & THOMAS .TO SUBMIT
PROPOSITION TO THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS.
Bowen & Thomas, the wed known
contractors, yesterday finished work
on the new brick bridge on the county

The bridge in question is construct
ed ot brick., is fashioned after the
most modern architectural work and
easily takes rank as one of the best
bridges in the county.
In this Connection it is understood
that at the next meeting of the board
>f county commissioners. Bowen &
Thomas will submit, a .propostjgn to
the board, looking to a general brick
construction of all tho roads in the
county. *
It cannot be said, of course, what

bridge improvement all over the coun

GRACIE TO TITER
PENSACOLA WAR
♦
BRUNSWICK’S SWIFT PILOTBOAT
HAS BEEN CHARTERED AT
THAT PORT.
WILL LEAVE TOMORROW
She Will Be in Command of Captain
Duncan Wright, and Will Make it
Warm for the Opposition
Boats.
. t
The pilot boat Grade, supposed to
be the swiftest boat in her class on
the South Atlantic coast, will leave
these waters tomorrow morning for
Pensacola Fla., where she goes to par
ticipate in one of the warmest opposi
tion wars in the state of l* lorida.
H seems that the regular pilot or
ganisation of Pensacola is composed
of twenty-four members and that an
opposition organisation with eight pi
lots and with .very swift vessels has
been formed to 1 tight the regulars.
Having the advantage of fleet-footed
cral't, the opposition has naturally cut
into tne business of the 010 regime,
and it is this organization which is
known as the Pilots’ Benevolent As
sociation which has chartered t>.e
Gracie to cover a iperiod of three
montns.
The Pensancola pilots openly an
nounced that, tuey intended to lease
the fastest pilot -oat in the sou ( th, and
tlie fact that they instinctively turned
to the Gracie is a decided compliment
of that trim little vessel.
Captain Duncan Wright wdl he in
charge of the Gracie while she is in
Florida waters and will lie assisted
by a competent crew, which, as yet.
has not been selected.
Witfy uie Oracle Captain Wright. and
a good, stofil crew, it is safe 'o say
that the Brunswick boat will be in the
thickest of the fight and will have a
good account to give of herself
In the meantime, if the actual work
of pilotage should lull for a while and
the Florida boats should take a no
tion to measure distance with the
Gracie they will find a foema.n wor
thy elf their steel, for it must be re
membered that the Gracie now wears
tqe pennant for the swiftest <V ail
vessels in her elass on the south At
lantic coast.
The News commends Captain
Wright has his corps of assistants to
the people of Pensacola.

On next Tuesday nignt. tue second

left a place of entertainment than the
one that left the Conservatory of Mu
sic last evening after hearing the con
cert given by i -oveU’s Boston Stars.
The Stars will *find a warm welcome
awaiting them should they come this
way again. Their concert is given
with a view of pleasing the people and
ibis they do admirably.” .

BRUNSWICK. GA., FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, 1902.
WORK ON
FORT SOON
TO BEGIN
DAUGHTERS .OF THE REVOLU
TION TAKE UP THIS IMPOR •
TANT MATTER .
Brunswick Ladies Are Attending the
Convention in Savannah and Us
ing Their Efforts in Behalf
of the Old Fort.
The -Daughters of the American
Revolution are holding their annual
session in Savannah this week, and
the ti.rst work of the organization was
that of looking to some plan for re
building the old fort Frederica. lii an
article on the subject the Savannah
correspondent of the Atlanta Consti
tution yesterday had the following:
For a few months past a movement
nas been: on font, headed by Mrs. J.
A. Butts, of tile Brunswick chapter,
to have the state branch of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion take up the matter of rebuilding
the old Frederica fort, which was
erect , by Oglethorpe in 1775.
11 the -idea, of those who are most
interested is acted upon steps will he
immediately taken looking to the ar
cumulation of sufficient funds to re
plaeo the fort as it originally stood,
guarding the entrance to st. Bimon
sound.
t no fort, is situated some 20 miles
from Brunswick on St. Simon island,
and it was erected by Oglethorpe dur
ing The year 1735, and when it was
completed he named It. after Frederick
prince of Wales, whu was his warm
personal friend.
Tills fort is the only monument to
Oglethorpe’s military genius and
greatness existing on the spot where
he contributed so niucn luster to the
history of Georgia.
Mrs. Robert. Emory Park wrote a
lei ter si me weeks ago instructing
Captain C. S. Vfylly, who has been
much Interested in the movement, to
rebuild the fort., to visit Frederica,
accompanied by Colonel J. H. Clem
roth, the superintendent of construc
tion of tlie new government building
at Brunswick, and report the nearest
piolmble cost, of the work contem
plated. This will tic done at the
meeting Friday and will probably
Kim,. iHul an outlay of some $12,000
will lie necessary to replace the fort
and to build a protecting sea wall.
Fast Going to Pieces.
The lor formerly stood some dis
tance hack front Ihe water front but
the water has so encroached upon ii
that even at low tide it laps at. the
base ol the fort. The storms of win
ter have made such destructive in
roads upon it that it is fast going to
pieces, and if it is to bo saved some
thing must be done at once.
Those who are full of the work wish
to have the fort replaced and then
a park made of the surrounding prop
erty. Some years ago a fund for an
Oglethorpe monument was raised hyi
the Brunswick D. A. R. and some $5(,
of this is now on hand, it is desired
to increase this fund to several thou
sand dollars - and to erect tne uioniir
ment near the rebuilt fort.
Flans for the raising of all moi:
necessary will he discussed at the
meeting in Savannah and some defi
nite action taken.
Mrs. .1. A. Butts and Mrs. Bolling
Whitfield are the representatives of
the Brunswick chapter at the Mate
meeting, and it is their opinion that
tne Daughters of the American Revo
lotion through their representatives
at this meeting will undertake the
work a’nd call upon the public to con
tribute the funds necessary for the
completion of the work. It is believed
that the work will be begun within a
few weeks and pushed rapidly to
completion.
The citizens of Brunswick are so
much interested in the movement that
it is believed if the D. A. R. do not
see fit to take the matter up at this
time, a mass meeting of the public
spirited citizens will be called and
the work undertaken by them. The
citizens of Brunswick feel that this is
the most suitable way to honor
Georgia’s gallant founder which
could be made.
ALL OFFICERS
TO BE ELECTEE) 1
—*— .
BOARD OF TRADE WILL HOLD
AN INTERESTING SESSION
THIS MORNING.
MORE INTEREST IS NEEDED
Old Officers Will Be Re-Elected But
Will Not Accept Unless Members
Display More Enthusiasm in
the Organization. A
The Brunswick Board of Trade will
hold their annual meeting at the city
hall this morning, and, besides the
routine business to be transacted, the
election of officers for the ensuing
year will occur, and a full attendance
of the members of the board is ur
gently requested.
It is generally understood that F.
D. Aiken, M. Kaiser and C. D. Ogg.
president, vice president and secret j
tar; . respectively, of the board, will
he unanimously re-elected to the
places.
These gentlemen have worked faith
fully for the h,.f.iii since its organi
zation, and the work that has been
done by the hoard is due almost sole
ly to their efforts. The gentlemen
nave given much of their time to Ihis
work, and it is truly hoped that they
will accept the offices again today.
However, white both Messrs. Aiken
and Ogg are much interested in the
work of the hoard, they do not feel
that they can again accept the offices
unless (lie members generally take
more Interest in the deliberations and
attend tne meetings generally. For
ihe past mi nth or two only a few
meetings have been held, for the sim
ple reason that there were not
enough members present to consti
tute a quorum.
It is hoped that the people of Bruns
wick will take more interest in (his
important organization hereafter, and
will lend thefr aid to the officers in
the goil work they nave done and
will continue to do in the future, it
they are given the cooperation of the
other members.
l>et every member of the board who
can possibly do so attend the meet
ing today, as other important matters
are also io be transacted.

Railway and Steamship Officers Left
for Their Homes Last Night.

While in the city they were the re
cipients of many courtesies by the
Brunswick people generally.
WILL HAVE NO RECORDER.
Council Will Not Have Bill Introduced
to Create Such a Place.
Those young Brunswick attorneys
who thought that they would like to
have the word recorder come before
tehir name will be disappointed to
learn that such an office will not he
created in the city of Brunswick just
at present.
At the council meeting last night, a
motion prevailed that no action be
taken in the charter amendment at
this session of the legislature.
It is understood that several young
attorneys of the city had their eye on
this nice little job.
ONCE AGAIN DEFERRED.
No Action Taken on the Market Ques
tion by Council Last Night.
Once more t’ne city council has de
ferred action on the idea of convert
ing the old market eye sore into head
quarters for the fire department.
It was geneally thought tnat this
subject would be taken up and finally
disposed of at the meeting last night,
hut on account of an unusually heavy
nights business action on the report of
the special committee who were ap
pointed to investigate was postponed
until the next meeting of council.

interesting meeting at the Mansfield

present.
The board disposed of all routine
business, and reviewed with interest
good work that is being done In all
of the schools this year, and the
progress that has already been
shown. The schools are in a better
condition at present than they nave
been in the city’s history.
The different committees of the
board rendered their respective re
ports, all of which were very encour
aging.
A subject of considerable impor
tance that was taken up at the meet
ing and discussed was that of erect
ing anew school house in New Town
and making general improvements
on the Risley school.
It is a well known fact that Bruns
wick is badly in need of another
school building, and it is safe to pre
