"Let Georgia’s light shine," kays the
Atlanta Journal in a leading editorial.
It ikies; even Its-moonshine shines!
Lord, how Is, hurts the Republicans
to pass a tax bill. And you can’t
blajno them when you recall that
largely, they are taxing themselves.
The Irish and tbe British are again
talking terms of peace. When we

doing that for seven hundred years.
"Hark from the tomb." Former
Governor Cox writes a long letter to
the Democratic clubs in Los Angeles

discussion In the Senate a few years

If the crowd passes by your door,

IT MEANS MUCH
FOR BRUNSWICK,
II t* our very earnest oplntWl that
the s%oiK>M*d pilgrimage of llrutvv
wick buslnesa* men to Florida, to be
gin October JHh and to last for one
weak* as suggested *nd as Is being
personally engineered by Constant
Miller, chairman of Glynn county
cotnmisslouora. is a* far *
matter as h-s been proposed in tht*
community in many long week*.
, Ah, state Of FK Nda, ranks very
agii they aught the inspiration *
the aaciegi Homan* and commenced
1., spend • tupendous sntns on thesr
intbor btgfcwry* and H is stated thst
Florida todsv bk m* tt* mileage in
modem roads thgo gpy oiber state u
the union, compared to population,
etc.
And road building is not the only
sort of civic development that has
challenged the attention of our neigh
bors in the land of flowers. They are
long on building bridges; Flager was
a pathfinder in his noteworthy
achievement in bridging his way into
Key West and the splendid example
Of Industrial progress has been emu
lated all over Florida. If the people
of Florida believe that a bridge or a
causeway should be built; if they per
ceive that it will add to the value of
property, * induce new development
and population, they proceed with the
construction and they bond to the
limit to dp it, on the theory that pos
terity, getting the benefit of the per
manent improvement, will be willing
and delighted to share in the cost of
it!
And after all, that’s the only safe
way tc make great public improve
ments; if is thus evenly and fairly
distributed among all of the people,
as all of the people are shareholders
in its benefits! We believe that this
trip to Florida will serve to open the
eyes of the business men of Bruns
wick and it will serve to visualize for
them something in the concrete along
lines of permanent and lasting devel
opment.
We believe thai our citizens will
come back to Brunswick with a deep
er conviction that Florida has acted
wisely and well in building up her
roads; in constructing bridges and in
doing the things that make for the
general betterment of a great state.
Just at the moment Brunswick
needs anew thought on that line;
her people are growing in progressive
ness and better yet, her people are
working together in a better spirit
of harmony and a more complete
state of organization that has evei
been the case in the past. They are
beginning to perceive in no uncertain
fashion that they cannot st3nd still or
mark time. They must move on with
the progressive, enterprising sections
of the country or they must fall out
of line and watch that splendid pro
cession pass by!
If this trip to Florida which will
combine its pleasant fsutures along
with business, succeeds in impress
in" our people with the facts, we have
named here, their It will have per
formed a great service for that enter
prising Brunswlckian who perceived
the very attractive idea!
IT 18 UP TO US NOW!
For several months the people of
Brunswick and Glynn county have
been discussing the St. Simon bridge;
it Is fumllnr to practically all of the
people of the community. The sug
gestlon to make this magnificent
piece of improvement came from the
Young Men’s Club and was originally
suggested by Chairman C. Miller, of
the Glynn county commissioner::. The
Club gave It very cordial endorse
ment; the press of the city has been
unstinted In Its advocacy of the plan
and progressive Brunswick has cm
braced It. aH the most far reaching
public question ifow before us!
Sixty days ago, the Glynn county
commissioner* asked that federal and
state engineers make study of avail
able routes and submit estimates as to
cost of construction. This has finally
been done and elsewhere In The News
this morning there will be found u
comprehensive report tf the engl
neers, together with a sub-joined
statement from special comdlttees of
the City commission of * Brunswick
and the Glynn couuty commissioners
Those reports need but little ampli
fication at our hands; they speak
plainly and they tell us the things we
want to know and the things we arc
most vitally interested in. Of course,
every real Brunawicklan w.inta this
bridge and he wants It built as near
as possible to Brunswick. The engi
timers have told us that it would be
prohibitive to build the bridge off
Gk scatter street, for the - reason that
the coat would be out of the question
and In addition there ere many seri
qua obstacles In the matter of eon
st ruction.
They have submitted two estimates
for the other two.routes, the one at
the Cypress Mill* and the other a’
the old MoCormack site. It will cos'
In round figure* 2P3.000 to construe!
the bridge from the Cypress Mills

this moraitig. and it is now squarely
up to the people of Hruoswiek and
r.tvntt county, to say and to hay
nr mpUy whether or not they won?
‘this spiocuid upru*wnmc which, o
our way of thinking, is the most im
portant matter tbit has engaged ou
attention in many years.
The county wilt rail Its bond issu'
la sixty day*, hot the city cannot di
so uotll autherlied by legislative e
actment. However, it will be arr ng
ed at the county election to determine
the question, to give the people of
the city an opportunity to express
themselves on the subject, so that in
the event the issue carries, the actual
construction work can proceed.
The News has always and constant!
ly advocated this enterprise, it cannotl
conceive of anything that could brings
more satisfying results to the whole
county than this bridging our way tc
St. Simon. It will mean more to
Brunswick th3n anew trunk line rail
road; it will open up the best sum
mer resort in the Southern states to
the people of the South and it will
increase property values in city and!
in county.
It is noted thta the bond issue in
the aggregate is in excess of the real
cost of the work by something like
559.Q0 and this sum is to be expend
ed by the county in the matter of
building good rosds on St. Simon;
connecting up the two encls of the
island, etc. This 'plan is a wise one.
St. Simon is a veritable garden spot;
properly developed, it would beeomr
the gfreatest asset Brunswick hae
and the only way to develop it is to
make it attractive and give a real val
ue to it.
These are the cold, concrete fact,:
new confronting the people of this
community on this vital subject. Your
city officials and your county officials,
af!er a very close study of the situa
tion; after expert surveys? have been
m. de, come to you and as your repre
sentatives, ask you tc vote these
bonds for the purpose named.
Will you do it?
Iff you want this matchless im
provement;*if you really want to
place the impress of progress and de
velopment on ;)i:ur city and {-our
county, you will think kindly of what
ycur official representatives have said
and you will vote for this bond issue
in county and in city! .
THE CHINESE REPUBLIC. 1
The Chinese republic, tbe vast Asi
atic domain with a population four
times as large as that of the United
States, rounds out its first decade
today. In China the day is known as
Wuchang day and is celebrated as
a national holiday, says the Valdosta
Times of yesterday.
Ten years ago today, on October
10, 1911, the great revolution against
the Manchu monarchical rule, which
hod endured nearly three centuries,
broke out at Wuchang under the lead
ership of General Li Yuan-hung. But
the event and the place where it oc
curred were filled with importance
because Wu-cbang is in the center of
China and commands an exceedingly
important strategical position in the
heart of the eighteen provinces.
The outbreak was also Important
in its leadership, for General Li, as
an influential military officer, con
trolled at that time a large number
of newly trained soldiers and held
both the confidence of the army and
tho public. The final success of the
revolution was mainly due to these
facts.
The Wuchang outbreak was imme
di tely followr l bv China’s declara
Mon of indr 3 .ndence, supported by a
naiority of the provinces, especially
those In the south of China. This
compelled the abdication and de
fhronement of the Manchue Emperor.
So that Ir why everybody in China to
and jy Ir celebrating Wuchang day.
To the Chinese the day means that
after 270 years of foreign rule the peo
pla of China have reclaimed their sov
erigntjr from the Manchu*. their form
er conquerors; and also after 2000
years of absolute monarchical gevern
ment China has assumed both the
n-nie and the station of a republic—
a restoration of the democratic gov
eminent which existed once ages ago.
‘n the time* of Emperors Yau and
Shun. .
Important distinctions exist, how
ever, between the old ideas of the
Chinese in regard to democracy and
the republican principles of the. pres
ent time. In the days of Yau and
Shun the emperor selected his owr
vycossor. who might cr might not b<
Hs son. Although -at first the peo
pie were permitted to express their
‘yea* and •‘nay” regarding the new
emperor by some sort of declaration
yet experience proved that this wa?
n.t satisfactory, nor a s&Ce systom
fc prevent an unscrupulous persor
from seizing and holding power. Ir
* v '*rt. at that ttntie the source of de
mocracy was frbm above and iCt
from lelow, and therfore It was not
S>ermanent. Nevertheless, it wjc
those ancient theories of .democratic
rovernment that helped the people of
"hint to establish the present repub
He.
The establishment of the Chinese
republic mean* much to the world at
large, and especially to the United
i States, whose ideas of goremmen
!uly for K lhe first time found thef:

At the same time the distinctio
* f being the largest republic In th<
•vcrld has been taken away from the
American commonwealth by the He
I ”ehlie of Chin %. which embraces five

Black-Draught is my stand-by.
"These trips used to give me head
aches, and that, I found, cam£ from
hurried meals or from constipation.
“i was convinced that Black-Draught
was good, so now I use it, and it gives
perfect satisfaction. It acts on the’
liver, relieves indigestion, and certain
ly is splendid. I am never without it.”
When you have a feeling of discom

sensation, headache, bad breath, and
similar common symptoms, try taking
a pinch of Black-Draught after meals—
a pinch of the dry powder, washed
