and Points to Excellent Site

The following interesting commun

Editor, News,
Brunswick, Ga.,
Dear Sir:
l have before me "The News" of
this morning and note "Wharves Are
to he Public Owned.” and an article
from Atlanta In regards to State own
orship of Wharves.
Brunswick has the most magnifi
cent and most valuable piece of wa
terfront that cannot be compared
with anywhere south of Norfolk ind
can he made the greatest and best
dockfront for the least money that
has ever been built In any of our
large seaports from Boston to Gal
veston.
This Is the property between the
A.. B. & A. Terminals to Plantation
creek or even farther south If necev
skry. No other port in the south
could offer such a magflnifleent site
to our, or any other state.
Of course, these docks should have
a solid stone or concrete front and
filled In as Is done in other placer
and not depend on wooden piling and
worm eaten cypress decking.
It la up to our people to get buzv
and go after what we are truly en
titled to. that la to have the State
build these docks in a natural *ea
port
Yours very truly.
CHAS. E. ARNOLD.
Facts in connection with the num
erous advantages by Brunswick’s .har
bor will be put In concrete shape and
these will prove beyond a doubt that
Georgia’s best harbor, from every
angle, is Brunswick.
If the state of Georga is really go
4ng to develop one port —the best
port—that development will come to
Brunswick but. as The News under
stands ft. the people are expected to
do their share in the developing and
it seems that Brunswickians should
be ready and willing along these lines
as shipping is the most important of
all advantages and industries pos&ew

of the meat important held since the

years ago.
The first week and probably the
' second, will be devoted to civil busi
iness. The number of cases on this
docket total* more shan fifty and
some of these, being land cases, are
of the long-wnided variety and will
consume more than a day.
If the civil business is finished by
the middle* of the second week, crimi
nal matters will he taken up and
there is also a large mimber of cases
to be ‘disposed of, many of these be
ing jail cases. In the event civil bus
iness consumes two weeks, then the
criminal docket will not be taken up

likely though, as it is hoped that civil
business can be disposed of in about
ten days.

The America being fitted out for her last trip in shipyard in Boston*
Seve years ago a /doughty little

Antic and captured .the Royal
Yacht Squadron cup. It is this cup
which American yachts have defend
ed since then against all efforts of 1
British and other yachtsmen—includ
ing* the determined tea merchant, Sir
Thomas Lipton.
And now this remarkable craft
which has endured almost a century,
is making a sort of triumphant tour
along the Atlantic coast, visiting the
principal yacht clubs that the younger
sailing ships may look on “the grand
ma of them all” and also that yacht
ing enthusiasts may get a close look
at the lines of the first championship
boat.
At the end of this tour the America
is to be turned over to the govern
ment and preserved as a relic at the
Annapolis Naval Academy.
The history of the reads
like fiction.
The boat was designed by George
Steers. It was built at William
Brown’s shipyard an the East River.

BUYS SHARE STOCK
THROUGH THE MAIL
Supt. Chas. E. Dryden Sets Ex

Stock Campaign Which
Should, and Likely Will be,
Followed by Many Others.
Scores of Brunswickiang who are
financially able to take stock in the
City & Interurban Railway company
have not done so for the simple fact
that members of the committee have
failed to see them and while this
should not keep them from Investing,
it hag doubtless done so in many
cases.
But the fact that the committee
does not call should not be the cause
of anyone not taking stock and this
can be done if the person really wants
to keep the car Hne going. Yestetr*
dav the committee received a com
munication through the . mail from
Supt. Chas. E. Dryden. of the gchoolg.
In which he added his name to the
long list of stock takers of the City
4b Interurban Railway company. * , I
Chairman Smith suggests that
many who have notf been seen by the
committee can adopt Mr. Dryden's
method and mall their subscription
and this will likely be done as there
are scores with whom the committee
has been unable to have a personal
interview.

Years later, when her whereabouts

During This Week.
CHAIRMAN SMITH CERTAIN
THE GOAL WILL BE REACHED
Committee More Determined
Than Ever That Remainder
Will Soon be Guaranteed.—
Many in All Parts of Cfty
Have Not as Yet Been Ap
proached But Will be as Soon
as Possible.
NO DOUBT NOW BUT FULL
AMOUNT WILL BE RAISED.
“There is no doubt in my mind
whatever but that the remaining
amount needed to total $35,000
- will be subscribed during the
next few days,” said George C.
Smith, chairman of the commit
tee having the sale of stock sub
scriptions for the City & Interur
, ban Railway Company in charge.
Members of the committee
f will comb the city tomorrow
and Tuesday and the remaining
sum, about SIO,OOO, It is thought,
will be signed for.
Not only Chairman Smith, but ev
ery member of the committee which
has the City & Interurban Railway
company stock subscription in hand,
seems to be certain that the full
amount of $35,000 will have been sub
scribed by the meeting date of the
Young Men’s Club, which la Friday.
From the very minute the commit
tee took the matter in hand until ye#-
ferday, no time was lost and many
members have worked both day and
night in the interest of the project. .
Amount Subscribed.
The amount subscribed up to the
present is approximately $25,000.
This Is SIO,OOO less than the total to
be secured and the fact that score*
of men have not been seen as yet,
leads members of the committee to
think there is absolutely no doubt
but that the full amount will be re
ported within the next thirty-six
hours. ,
Will Start Out Tomorrow.
Bright and early tomorrow morning
members of the committee will begin
the and many section* of the
city not visited before will be thor
oughly combed. In fact, there will
be no part of Brunswick left and cer
tainly no person will be slighted. All
will be given a chance to assist in
saving this public utility that means
ho much and the loss of which would
spell a step backward, doing injury
that it would take years to overcome.
To Bee County Citizens.
A score or more of Glynn county
residents own realty in Brunswick
and It is about as much to their In
terest to have the car line continued
as those who live In Brunswick, la
some cases, more so, and these will
be visited during the next few days,
and the advantages explained, eflc.
It will mean that property values will
not decrease but rather increase, at
a fair percentage because the new
company will begin operations under
the very brightest prospects with pub
lic sentiment behind it. It will be a
case of OUR car line and all will pull
for it.
Will Pay Dividends.
By arrangements now under discus
sion. there is no doubt but that the
City £ Interurban Railway company
will prove a dividend paying corpor
ation. There, many ways by which
' operating ana Overhead expenses are
Ito he greatly reduced and without
.sacrificing a good service. Mr. Smith,
a railroad man who has proVed to be
resourceful on many ocaskftfs, is
of the opinion that the line will be a
paying proposition and wishes It un
derstood that those taking stock are
j not donating but Investing.
