Some Plain facts About

ADO THE GALE RESOLUTION
LonghWlndcd Ordinance is Only
Meant to Mislead the Voters—
Impossible to Secure the
Rates Contained In it.
W&at does the Bollcitor ot the
city court take the taxpayers ana
voters of Brunswick to be, a set of
Idiots and fools T
In his organ. the Journal, in
Wednesday’s edition Tie states in
flaring headlines that water, gas and
fela-trW lights will he obtained a.
about one-half the i>r*>--eut rates.
An ordinance was introduced at a
recess meeting of council Tuesday
night too clearly to be Questioned as
not Intended to be passed, if at all
until after the primary ana clearly
intended as a piece of political bun
combe, used to deceive and inveigh
-the innocent people of Brunswick.
But do not be deceived. The do
ticlan, the peanut nolitl ian, the rol
itician that will stoop to anv meas
ure and to any means to carry an
election is abroad in the land. H'

tide that will carry him far out u

compelled to hold out to those peo
pie who do not think for themselves
a hook with a bait, on it and that
halt is calculated to catch, a sucker
And what ,1s the bait? Cheap light
and water.
Well did ithe city council know
when the ordinance was introduced
Tuesday night that It could not id*
passed at that meeting. But then
the election would be held Tuesday
and after the election—well, that’!
another question. The ’’ring” would
be secure and the ordinance woulc.
probably meet the fate that befei

same meeting.
The astute solicitor knew when hi
published the article Wednesday
evening that the rates promised tht
people BEFORE THE ELECTION
would he impossible without throw
ing the light and water company lnt c
bankruptcy. He knew, or ought to
know, that such rates cannot be
made in a city of Brunswick's size
and that the enactment of isn't
rates would mean confiscation. He
knew that such an ordinance can
have no force or effect without con
trol of the light and water company
by the city and If the mayor anu
council were dealing fairly with the
people of Brunswick why did they
silence the resolution of Alderman
Gale without acceptance of the prop
osition of the Mutual Light and
Water Company, not only to sell the
plants, but to help the city of Bruns
wick pay for it? The answer is too
plain for anything. The election
was too near at hand. With the
light and water question out of the
way, the only charge that Is being
urged against Col. Goodyear and his
ticket and that one untrue. Col.
Goodyear and his ticket would sweet
the field and that would be the end
of the solicitor's power and “little
gnat's" existence as an official of
the city of Brunswick.
But the thinking people, the rea

Atlanta Constitution Takes Up the
Fight in Behalf of the People of
This Section—Trains are
Always Late.
The Atlanta Constitution is tak

pie of south Georgia against the
Southern railway because of the
irregularity of Its trains to this sec
tion, which bring all of the north
ern and eastern mail, as well at,
mail from Atlanta and other Geor
gia points. The Atlanta paper is
mating a istrong protest against
train No. 14, which arrives in this
city at 8:20 a. m.. but which is al
ways from one to eight hours late-
This train handles heavy mail for
all south Georgia and'its being late
almost dally is the causo of a gen
eral complaint from the people of
this section.
The Constitution of yesterday ©on

South Georgia, its citizens, busi
ness men and others were side
tracked again yesterday, so far as
mails were concerned. So late were
both the south-eound mail trains oa

which carry these ecu.lies of Uncle
Sam to south Georgia were missee

tne Atlanta. Bhmingham and At

the bad schedule record of the pa3t
few weeks was broken yesterday.
Southern railway tiain No. 14,
from Cincinnati, scheduled to arrive
in Atlanta with the mail and pas
sengers at 11:04 p. m., did not ar
me until 2:30 a. m. yesterday morn
ing. Asa consequence, it was 2:4c
a. m. before the train started south
ward with the mail. It was B:2t
a. m. when the train arrived at
Helena, where connections are mad.

these connections missed, but they
