AN ATTACK OF
PROVINCIALISM
Brunswick’s Latest One
Will Attract Some
Attention
WHAT A READDR HAS TO SAY
"A Resident Troubled with Ennui"
Writes interesting of the Car
nival and Street Fair
Question.
Editor of The News,
Dear Sir: —Brunswick's latest attack
of provincialism Is more than apt to
make us appear redlculous in the eye,:
of the outside world, and the fact that
It was caused by so ordinary a thing I
as a company desiring to give series
of entertainments under tents, wilt
not make it look any more reasonable
to outsiders. ,
Comparisons always make one of
the compared to appear to, disadvan
tage, and when it Is known that near
ly every town in this and adjoining
states has for the last month or
more been having some sort of enter
tatnment partaking of a more or less
public character, It shows us up In
rather a poor light. Are we so poor
financially, as to make it appear Im
possible for us to he able to, take In
an amusement as reasonable In price
as the street shows charge?
One of the reasons offered against
tEo affair was on moral grounds; an
tyther because It would take a sum of
money from the city with no adequate
returns; another because people who
had not paid their bill 3 or llieir house
rent would be likely to spend money
for a ticket. Isn’t this about the lim
it of a paternal local government? it
would seem about as reasonable to
have the number of people who went
to visit the fairs of Savannah, Macon
and Jacksonville, hauled up before the
august body for having gone.
The truth of the mattter is this, we
are beconnmiug so narrow minded as
a city that we are ruining many good
opportunities for attractng the de
sirable class of people to settle here;
when It has been a question of our
high ones in authority giving dollars
t fake concerns to junket around on!
we, the people, have had no say either
yea nor nay. and when it comes to a
question of individual amusement, for
•which ench individual will pay, It is
shout as small a prlvlege as we can
ask to, think for ourselves.
If the council had gotten together,
devised moans for speedy advertising

distribute the matter along their roads,
worked in harmony with the promoters
of the show, we could have a goodly
crowd of people from points above us
and the merchants would have reap
ed the benefits of a booming holiday
trade. Besides all this, these people
have to live, and money they are pay
ing out for hoard, rooms, laundry
work and necessities of the sort,
coupled with the license they are oblig
ed to pay will, it seems to me, be
pretty good interest; and a little
amusement wont hurt the unfortunate
cues who were not able to leave this
delightful health resort for amuse
ment elsewhere; and have the august
body never objected to the minstrels?
with scarcely an exception, these pop
ular people don’t spend a cent In
town as they travel In their own car,
carry about all they repuire with them
and rarely play to empty benches.
If we are ever to get out of the rut
of provincialism into which we are
stuck this is a pretty good time to be
gin. We will hardly be able to keep
as residents, people from other cit'les
unless they are suffering from paral
ysis or other illnesses.
