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. TICKETS GO ON SALE TODAY. Lovett's Boston Stars Will .Be Here Next Tuesday Night.

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 —*— .
