The board of education held a meet
ing at the court house last, night, but
the matter of selecting a site for
tlhe New Town school building did
not come up as was expected. About
the only matter discussed al the meet
ing was the finances of the board.
■" The hoard will hold their regular
monthly meeting tomorrow at 12
o’clock and some very important mat
ters will come up. Probably the most
interesting will be that, of selecting
all teachers for the city and county.
The annual examination was held
Saturday last, hut there were only a
few whose license expired, and one or
two new ones also took tlie examina
tion. It is expeeled that there will be
only a few, if any, changes in the
present corps of able teachers.
At this meeting the site for the New

that tlie one on E street near the St.

Ihe talk ot Mir. Howell as' a guoer

*"d occupying the position ol p..
dent of tlie senate winch would make
him governor in the event of the gov

combines to make Hits candidacy oppor

senate and house seem to have seitiea
in their minds (hat Air. Howell will
he in the race alter Governor Terrell
has had an endorsement, and tuosc

BRUNSWICK IS
VIED AS POINT
If State Road is Extended
It Will Come
here.
THE Bill IS INTRODUCED
Mr. Carrington Thinks the Georgia
Line Should be Extended to the
Seacost and Names Brunswick
as the Place.
The News, last week and on several
previous occasions, ii.-i printed the
facts about the Carrington bill, for
the extension of tho state road to
tlie eaeoast.
It was well known that this hill
was going lo he introduced, hut to
what point the lull would name
as the terminus was nol known, and
lioth Brunswick and Savannah was
mentioned. The hill was introduced
by Mr. Carrington Monday and Bruns
wick was named as the point of ex
tension. The Journal says of tlie
hill:
“The bill, presented by M'tf Carring
ton, of Madison, in reference to Hie
Western and Atlantic railroad, em
braces all of the features of the ar
ticle, which was printed exclusively
In the Journal last week in relatioin
lo the oxtention of the Western and
Atlantic railroad to Brunswick.
“The bill after setting forth the
provision, in regard to extending
the road from Atlanta, to Brunswick,
goos on to stipulate that Ihe work
shall be done under the supervision of
a joint committee from the house
and senate to be appointed by the
presiding officers of the (\v(t brandies.
The proposed committee is to he com
posed of two member's from the senate
and four from the house and the gov
ernor shall also he a membet. Ho
shall have a vote in all matters per
taining to tho work. In the event of
any member of the committee barring
the chief executive of the state
slluHtld fail of rodeelion to either ihe
house or senate, lie is still to continue
us a member of * In* board of supervis
ors. The pay of (he committeemen
save the governor shall he $1 per day.
"The bill provides that 1,000 of the
felony convicts ol the stale shall lie
used in grading the country through
which tin road ?-•■ to pass, it also
provides for tlhe selection of a suitable
civil engineer to assist in tin- construc
tion, of the work."
Whether or not thin liiil will pass,
we will, of course, only have to wait
and -i'o. hut it is known that many
of the legislators favor it and will
heat:lily support the measure when
it comes up for passage.
if the bill does pass it will mean
that the stale road w’ll be extended
to Brunswick at once.
MANY VESSELS BOUND HERE.

In the meantime the lumber dealers
