H.
I. SMttLET If ii
MATTER WAS TAKEN UP WITH
THE DEPARTMENT SOME TIME
AGO—MEANS MUCH TO THE
ISLAND PEOPLE.
1 lrrough some more excellent work
done by -Congressman Brantley, It is
more than probable that the people
of St. Simon, both at the mills and
ai the pier, will soon have rural
free delivery.
This matter was taken up by the
people of the) island some time ago
.uid a petition was circulated among
Wie inhabitants and presented to Con
pressman Brantley and, always look
ing after his constituents, he imme
diately wont to work on the matter
* an effort to get the postofflee de-
P iriment to establih a rural route
o the island.
Ini urination has just been received
in the department to the effect
1 die claims of St. Simon for a
rural route will be investigated and
if found by the government that the
route is needed it will be establish
ed. ’I his was the information convey
e l in a letter received yesterday and
it practically means that the route
will he put on in the near future.
Both the people living near the
mills as well as those at the pier
nave considerable trouble in getting
their mail at present, it-being nec
essary for Uie to go to the post
office, which is located at the u.ilis
I "topic living in the vicinity of Fred
erica and at the pi r are compelled
t" send several miles in order to gei
their mail.
When the rural route is establish
ed the carrier will meet, the boat ai
tin- pier every morning and receive
ids mail at the 'boat. He will then
make liis round and will return ill
uiiie to send mail over on the after
noon bpat. The establishment ot
♦ mine will be a great conven
i lice to the people of the island,
oil wdl also be of much benefit to
he people of this city who do busi
- s on ihe island.
Congressman Brantley has been
■lord at work on the matter and, like
nt most other cases, he will be sue
c ssful.
CHECK ON AUTOMOBILES
MAY BE A STATE LAW.
Drastic legislation for automobile
owners is threatened by the coming
legislature, or at least by a member
of it.
The proposed act will be along the
tines of that adopted in other .Mates
requiring the registration of owners
of automobiles with the secretary ot
state, together with the names of the
owners and the chauffeur. This com
pels each machine to have a numbs:
her conspicuously displayed.
Efforts were made in the last leg
islature to pass acts regulating auto
mobile driving, but aside from one
or two strictly local laws nothing
was accomplished. This year a gen
era! act may get through.
TWO CONVENTIONS TO BE
HELD ON THE SAME DAY
Local secret order men are taking
considerable interest in the meeting
of the Georgia Odd Felows and the
Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythis, both
of which are to be held on the same
day. Tin- Knights are to convene
in Painbrldge, while the Odd Fel
lows will meet in Columbus.
Both of the local lodge have nam
ed delegates to the two meetings and
Brunswick will be well represented.
Many members oi the tw > u. gantza
zations have, during the past few
years, attended both of the meet
ings, and many of them are now de
halJng over the questions of which
of the two meetings they will attend
this year.
Both of the Meetings will be held
the latter [lariu&ti present month.
