THE .BRUNSWICK .DAILY .NEWS. VOLUME 5. NUMBER 236. WANTS TO KNOW WHY BRANTLEY SUPPORTS SAVANNAH CANDIDATE A LOCAL VOTER IS INTERESTED —♦—- Has a Series ol Questions lie Would Like lo Rave Answered NO HELP TO BRUNSWICK On the Other Hand He Thinks it Wiil Be Against the Interests of This City for Estill to be Elected Governor. Mr. Editor: Asa supporter of that great Geo-gian who is making a fight tor the people of Georgia against the combined forces of the powers that be, all afayed against him, ( would like to ask the voters of Glynn county a few questions: First. Why should Glynn county go lor J. H. Estill for governor as against Hoke Smith? Second. Why should our congress man, W. G. Brantley, be so ardent in his support for the Savannah man? If the reply is that Mr. Estill is a south Georgian and it is his time, then why is it that Mr. Brantley and the others going on this idea, was and were not equally as ardent for that honored Brunswickian and south Georgian, Spencer R. Atkinson when he was a candidate for gover nor? If Mr. Brantley supported Mr. Atkinson and voted for him why was it that he did not then take the stump in his congressional district for Mr. Atkinson. If it was not necessary then to stump the district for a south Georgia and a Brunswick man at that why is it necessary now to stump the district in behalf of the Savannah man? Third. While Mr. Brantley has done a great deal for Brunswick and for which he deserves due credit, has he done any more than his duty required him to do or that lie should have done? Fourth. While Mr. Brantley has gotten from the federal government appropriations for the Brunswick post olfiee and other appropriations run ning into the thousands of dollars is it not true that the Savannah con greesma' gotten for Savannah ap propriai.si,. .inning into the millions of dollars. The question is, has not Savannah always taken the cream and left Brunswick the skimmed milk? Fifth. While the Btuuswick post office cost about one hundred and twenty-five thousand dolu s did ml Savannah’s co.it at. ii.i •: and a half? If, however, we are only a village sei port, and deserve no better, is it not true that Savannah has never tried to help us get out of our rustic ways and village progress Sixth. Getting down to local inter est: Has not Savannah always given it to Brunswick in the neck? Has not the said John H. Estill referred to Brunswick as “Savannah’s hack yard? Seventh. The bill now pending’ be fore the Georgia legislature to ex tend the state road, and it is prob able that the measure will be enacted into law, and Mr. Estill in the gov ernor’s chair, do you think Mr. Voter, that Brunswick and Glynn county would have any more show of it com ing here than the proverbal snow hall in the place where they do say is hotter than these August days Eighth. Do you, Mr. Editor, think for one moment that Mr. Brantley with his influence and pull with the said John H. Estill, could bring the said road to Brunswick as against Savan nah? Ninth.. Now to be frank. If these Questions are answered, as the under signed thinks they must be, then why should the people of Glynn county suit port Estill, the Savannah man, as against Hoke Smith? Tenth. The evening paper attempts to magnify Mr. Brantley and minim ize Mr. Berner; prints Mr. Brantley's picture and gives him two columns and a half and the mention of Mr. Berner a quarter of a column and an nounces that Mr. Brantley is to speak Tuesday night at the opera house, quotes Mr. Ogg's resolution passe 1 by the hoard of trade for Mr. Brantlev now the question is what has Mr. Ogg or the board of trade’s resolu tion commending Mr. Brantley got to do with the issues of the campaign for governor or w r hat bearing has th ; resolution praising Brantley got to do with Glynn county going for Estill against Hoke Smith? These questions may be leading but they are ger mane. Tenth. Has not Atlanta always been a tetter friend to Brunswick than Savannah? And, while these motives may be personal and selfish, is it not true that Savannah has ai ways been personal and selfish when it comes to a question of helping Sav annah as against Brunswick’s up building? Twelfth. Mr. Editor do you know whether or not Mr. Brantiey, at his ovation Tuesday night will speak on politics? The evening paper does not say that he will but if he and( es won i you please ask him for me benefit of some who would like to know, 'o an swer questions 2,3, 4,5, 0 and 7 es pecially? Mr. Brautiey is well 'ike! but a great many people think he is -.n the wrong track this tone. If he wants to run for governor why does he not go to tne people and say i. A Voter.

It is the intention of the commis sion to ask for bids from the labor agents who will anange with the gov. eminent of China for the exportation of labor, transport the Chinese to the isthmus under contract, to work for fixed wages and ship them back io China thus relieving the commission of all detail work and all responsibil ity. There are said to be about thirty labor agencies who supply Chinese la contractors in all parts of the world. These agents are familiar with all the Chinese laws, stand ready to pay money lo the families of the men who are going into their service and a™ ready on short not ice to meet demands tor an unlimited number of coolies.
