Brunswick, Ga„ Nov. 12, 1906.
Hon. W. F. Symons,
Brunswick, Ga.
My Dear Sir:
I note in the afternoon paper that
yottr friends are going to hold a
mass meeting on Tnursday nignt,
the 16th inat, at which time the is
sues of the present muni.ipai cam
paign are to be discussed.
As you are perhaps aware I am a
candidate tor mayor at tne comin*,
primary, having been nominated a.
a mass meeting ot the voters an.:
taxpayers ot tnls city neid on Mon
day evening. October Bth, lao6.
As you aie also doubtless aware
there are many issues in the cam
paign; issues which l hold to iae pai
amount to ail others In this portlcu
lar stage o£ Brunswick’s growth and
development.
I believe that the time Is bore lor
a greater Brunswick and I believe
that we of Branawi.k aie In posses
slou of the material factors to make
that greater ErCnswick and make
It now.
You have probably noticed that i
am pledged to a platform of "pro
gress and prosperity and the muni
pal ownership of public utilities” In
this city. The former has been my
platform for the 36 years Jthat 1
have lived In Brunswick, the latter
plank ts one that comes as an en
vironment of public conditions that
must enlarge to keep pace with
the Industrial and commercial
march of the present time.
I hold that It ts the first duty of
•very citizen to devote his beet ef
forts to the upbuilding of that mu
nicipality which give* him his dally
bread; .1 believe that It is absolutely
the duty of every man to answer that
of duty when It oomea from
*&e classes and the masses of the
people, and for these two good rea
sons I an standing /before the peopi*
of this dty aa a candidate tor tty

As announced in The News eev
aral days ago Governor Terrel,
called a meeting ot tne trustees in
this district tor yesterday in Way
cross, bach county was allowed one
trustee, Glynn being represented by
v\. F. Symons. Several of the coun
ties in the district were bidders to;
tne college, among them being Coi
tee. Ware, Irwin, Fierce and others.
The otter made by Coffee was a
great surprise to the trustees. It wa,
thought when the offers of Ware auu
Irwin were read that one ot tnese
two couuuea would surely secure UK
college, but when the claim and offe.
from Ccffee were put before the
meeting it did not take the trustees
long to arrive at a decision. Here
.8 what Coffee offered: Fifty acre;
of land. $60,000 in cash and free
light and water. That was enough
to land the college.
Both Ware and Irwin, as well as
Pierce, made liberal offers, but it
could not compete with that of th.
people of Coffee county, and the
agricultural college for the Elovent'
district will be located in the thriv
Ing little city of Douglas.
