GLYNN COUNTY FARMERS SUPPLY MANY BROILERS While New York and Philadelphia housewives are paying from 50c to 75c per pound for "squab broilers” or what Georgians know as baby fry ers, Brunswickians are enjoying fried chicken “raised near Brunswick" at "three for a dollar.” Brunswick re tailers are taking every day from a dozen up to a hundred chicks from nearby farmers who have found poul try raising a profitable side line. The wife of one well-known farmer living at the six-mile crossing, has already sold this season over 200 head of Young broilers, the prices varying from 45 cents in May to 30 and 35 cents at present. The local demand for frying-size chickens every spring sends hundreds and even thousands of dollars to Tennessee and north Georgia. Part at least of this money will this year go to Glynn county farmers. M. & M.

RED MEN ELECT STATE OFFICERS BRUNSWICK MAN CAPTURES THE REPRESENTATIVE TO GREAT COUNCIL OF UNITED STATES. Atlanta, Ua.. June 16.—After hear ing one ot the most encouraging an nual reports rendered in many years, the great council, Improved Order of Red Men of Georgia, elected officers ULs .afternoon for the coming year as follows: Great* Sachem—F. F. Smith, Atlan ta. Great Senior Sagajpore—H. M. Ward, Savannah. Great Junior Sagamore—E. A. Baughn, Atlanta. Great Prophet—C. L. Elliot, Bruns wick. Great Chief of Records —M. J. Dan iels, Griffin. Great Keeper of Wampum—G. E. Johnson. Atlanta. Great Representative- C. L. Elliot, Brunswick. , The year just closed has been a banner one for the Red Men. Under the guidance of Great Sachem L. Elliot, of Brunswick, a dozen tribes were revived and strengthened and several new tribes instituted. One of these, at Dublin, goes on record as the largest new tribe of the entire great council of the United States. So steady has been the increase in tribes for the past few years that few members of the order have real ized Georgia's new' position In the great council of the United States. Early this year Great Sachem Elliot announced that this state would in future have seven delegates to the great council —the maximum repre sentation allowed under th-. constitu tion of the order-. Atlanta Red Men have given the delegates a royal tine. One feature of the program was the drill by Com pany No. X of the military branch of the order. As Great Sachem C. L. Elliot, of Brunsw’ck, was colonel of the Georgia division, ft is probable Macon and Savannah will soon have companies, while Brunswick Red Men have already applied for a charter.

On Sunday, June 20th, grand free attraction at St. Simons island for lad ies, children, gentlemen, also oh, you kid! That includes everybody. Come on in, the water's fine. The boat's running, too, from Brunswick will be ample to carry the largest crowd that ever went to the island as the com pany lias made special arrangements to accommodate the crowds so every person may have the chance of wit nessing the great Monte Cristo act as presented by Frank Thomas, the dem onstrator. This act is the most sensational act ever witnessed as when we see Mr. Thomas sunk beneath the water, and realize the position in which he is placed, that he must free himself or drown. The different managements at the island are exerting themselves to the uppermost so as to be ready for a large crowd.—Adv.

UPTO BRUNSWICK TO GET TIE HERE’S A TIP THAT JESUP AND WAYCROSS MAY GET IN THE GAME Although Route is Longer the Pro posed Savannah-Jacksonville Auto mobile Road Could Be Swung to the Counties West of Glynn. i Unless Glynn and Mclntosh coun ties get a switt move under way and arouse Camden, Bryan and Liberty counties to join in tne program for a first-class roadway from Savannah to Jacksonville via Darien and Bruns wick, there is a possibility, even a probability, that the counties on the west will gel busj and pulling together for a great thoroughfare, swing the proposition, la such an event Bruns wick would again be set off on one side ■ —and another fatal blunder would be marked up to Brunswick. 44. R. Robinson, a drug drummer representing a Savannah house, who is in Brunswick every week and who is well known to liie trade, tells in the Jacksonville Metropolis of a move ment at Jesup which spells trouble for Brunswick unless there is a hus tle lo checkmate it. in brief the first steel bridge over the Altamaha, giving a thorough connection be tween Brunswick and Savannah, will settle the matter as to the route for tile automobiles. Says Mr. Robinson: "As Jesup there is considerable agitation of a bridge over the Altamaha river, so as to make the road route to Savannah much shorter. A prominent business 1 man, who is interested in the move ment, has recently held a conference | with commissioners of Wayne and j Liberty counties, seeking to get some-1 thing done along tlie bridge line. East of Waycross there will shortly be 20 miles of excellent road, made possl- ■ tile by the cooperation of the Ware | and Pierce counties' authorities. This puts the Savannah road question up to Wayne and Liberty and the other counties that will be traversed if the prescat plans are followed." Scout Car Coming. As told in The News Tuesday, Sa vannah is to send out a scout car early tlie coming week to locate tta best route from that city to Brunswick and Jacksonville. It is possible that the I car will come by the way of Bur roughs, where the Ogeeche will be crossed and following the Seaboard Air Line route will cross the Altama ha at the Barrington ferry. Once j across the Altamaha the car will have j an easy run lo Ml. Pleasant, thence into Brunswick. It Is probable, liow ever, that the'Darien route will lie used, the r*ir leaving the old stage road at Then and following the old postroad into Darien, where two of tiie party will lie brought over the river in a launch to Dents. The scout car will return to Theo and then on to Barrington and Mt. Pleasant. Several Brunswick automobile owners have volunteered to take up the party at Dents, bringing them in to tlie city over the proposed roadway from Brunswick to Darien. One or two will go to Barrington anil accom pany the scout car into the city. The run to Jacksonville is 107 miles -and it is estimated will take about eight bouts. The run from Savannah will require fully 24 tp 36 hours be- of round-about roads north of Barrington ferry in Mclntosh, Liberty and Bryan counties. Some of these roads cannot lie used in wet weather, hence the scout car in case of a heavy rain is likely to be delayed. Considerable local interest has been aroused by the news of the proposed run from Savannah and it is certain that the scout car party will receive many attentions. ORPHANAGE IS FULL AND TREASURY EMPTY The Methodists of Brunswick will regret a report sent out from Cordele yesterday that the Orphans' Home at Macon is in sore distress. According to Rev. W. A. Huckabee, agent of the Home, there are 128 orphans in the institution and on June 8 there was a balance in the bank of only r 64 cents. Cbrdele citizens sent n about $l5O or almost enough for one week’s ex penses. The report is a distressing one, but will, it is hoped, rally the friends of the Home to its aid in this hour of need.

New Orleans, June 16. —Tbe Times- Democrat today says: “Events are marching on toward a revolution in Honduras, according to dispatches received today by local business men engaged in Central American trade.

Washington sent out telegrams yes terday, stating that at Brunswick the eclipse would be visible at 6.59 p. m. As this is the sunset hour there is but a faint chance to observe the phe nomenon. if one were in Alaska, Nome, or at the North Pole, the eclipse would be pulled off at day break and would last for three hours. An Unusual Sight. Pittsburg, Pa., June 16.—According to Professor John A. Brasliaer, an Al legheny astronomer, tomorrow’s eclipse of the sun will be totally un like any other recorded in the his tory of skygazing. He says: “The eclipse will be of a very in teresting character from the fact that for a few seconds it will be an annu lar eclipse, then change to a total eclipse, then back to an annular eclipse for the second time. I cannot find record of such an occurrence in any history of astronomy, although we have records of annular eclipses for 400 years, and of total eclipses for thousands of years. The eclipse as a partial phase of greater or lesser magnitude will sweep over the North American continent from the north, decreasing in size as it passes through Canada and the States.” Good Roads Meet At Fitzgerald Fitzgerald, Ga., June 16.—The coun ty commissioners of fifteen south Georgia counties will meet here to morrow for consideration of the good roads contest, and a direct route from Atlanta to Jacksonville via Perry, Hawkinsville, Fitzgerald, Douglas and Waycross.
