GREAT SERMON IS
HEARD LAST NIGHT
Dr. Sammons Makes Strong
Plea to Intermingle Religion
With Business Affairs.—
Large Crowds Hear Eminent
Divine at Every Service.
Dr. Sammons preached ot the usual
large congregation at the First Bap
tist church last night, taking for his
text the scripture “Come over into
Macedonia to help us/’ ,He made a
very appropriate application of this
scripture, picturing Macedonia as a
country solely occupied with things
secular, and without churches or re
ligion, appealing to Paul to come and
give them things spiritual, and then
adapted the same idea in the secular
and business affairs of today. He stat
ed that the churches needed better
business plans and methods in their
-management and conduct, but that
more than this religion was needed
in business. He emphasized the val
ue and importance of every man con
ducting his business, whether he be
manufacturer, merchant, laborer, cr
porfessional man, In harmony with
She teaching* of Christ. Truth, hon
esty, proper consideration for the in
terest of the oAer fellow, and fair ami
square dealing In every phase of life,
these are the things that would be
foremost In the mind of every onf
who would adopt the program of reli
gion in business and in all secular af
fairs. Perhaps at no time in the his
tory of the world has this idea taken
such a strong hold on the men und
women who are taking so prominent
a part in the great events that are
shaping the destiny of mankind, as
witness the speeches of President.
Harding and other Americans who are
Ui ’the forefront In the disarmament
conference.
Onyt today a well known business
mau was heard to say, "whatever of
worth there 1* on me. whatever worth
while thing* l have done, is due to
what religion I have, and It Is all too
little." Dr. Sammons will ouly remain
lu Brunswick today and tomorrow,
and the evangelistic servlbes will
close on Thursday night. Of course
the people of Brunswick will take ad
vantage of the few opportunities left
to hear this great man aud splendid

PORT COMMITTEE
WHAT IS DESIRED
Maps of Harbor With State*
mentis Showing Number of
Ships Can be Cared For
AFTER ALL, ENGINEERS
WILL SELECT THE SITE.
Railroad Facilities Not Such an
Important Feature as Harbor
and Probably Either of Com
peting Places Could Furnish
What is Desixed Along This
Line, But Water Conditions,
It Seems, is All Important.
Brunswick is well represented at
the initial meeting of the Georgia har
bors, Port and Terminal commission,
held in Savannah yesterday. The ses
sion was presided over by S. G. Mc-
Lendon, secretary of state and presi
dent of the commission.
Various ports of the state had rep
resentatives qn hand and the chair
man informed these that the commis
sion would expect cooperation from
every quarter and asked that this be
done in connection with the selection
of the most suitable port fer the te-mi
nals.
“The commission wants maps. Of
course, incidentally, representatives
might give a resume of what the pr rt
has oocompllshed and how many ships
it can accommodate, but maps of pro
posed sites for warehouses, together
with detailed specifications, is the pri
mary object of the commission at tills
time," Mr. McLendon said.
The commission Intends to emp'oy
the best engineers in the country to
pick the port of the staff: The colos
sal undertaking means the expendi
ture of from seven to ten million dol
lars. and hence the best technical ad
vlre that can be procured will be em
ployed by the commission.
Brunswick is standing on the fact
that It Is absolutely the state’s best
pbrt. That warehouse construction
will copt less here than at any other
and that various advantages are offer
ed by Brunswick that the others can
not possibly offer; that the natural ad
vantages are superior In every possi
ble way and that a landlocked harbor,
easily accessible to the sea. with ad
equate railroad facilities are among
some of the real facts on which the
city Is asking its selection.
Some time ago Mr. McLendon hint
ed that railroad facilities w*re not
really the paramount advantage and
that St. Mary’s would stand as good
a show on the railroad Idea a Savan
nah or Brunswick so, after all. It Is
really the harbor.

Chicago. Not. 15.—Discovery of the

REGISTRARS HAVE
FINISHED COUNTY
Only One Hundred and Seventy
five Names Were Stricken
Which Leaves Nine Hundred
and Sixty-three Qualified to
Vpte.
After several days of hard work,
Frank D. Aiken. W. ,B. Cook and W.
R. Cox. composing the board of Glynn
county registrars, have finished their
purging the registration list of Glynn
county and when it is considered that
the Job was a big one, the members
made excellent time.
Only about one Hundred and seven
ty-five names were removed from the
list. Before the beard started the
purging the books carried 1138 names,
and taking from this number 175. it
will be seen that the total county reg
istration stands at 963. >
Scores have been “caught napping”
so to speak, on the registration and
some of the city and county’s best
citizens and taxpayers, for the first
time since reaching their majority,
find themselves disfranchised for the
simple reason that all who failed to
pay their taxes six months previous
to the date of the bond election, can
not participate in it on November 23.
While any voter can arrange his tax
es and register with Collector Harwell
now. this does not mean that he can
vote on the! 23rd instant.
Con4'o*rlng the depressed condition
of the country everywhere, the fact
that this Rmall number was dropped
la not a bad showing and even mans'
of these were ready to qualify but the
time limit made their participation in
the coming election impossible.

While the big committee selected to
use every effort to carry the St. Sly

thought It would save a great deal ot
time if action of the more energetic'

ty registrars completed the work of

over, every member of the big com
mittee of public spirited citizens will
get busy and meetings will be held
every day from the present until the
date of the election.
There will be less than one4housand
qualified voters in the county. This
fact is published in The News this
morning in connection of the report
of the board of registarrs. Many who
have always been on the qualified list
are left off this year on account of the
Jaw which requires payment bf taxes
six months before an election in order
to participate, but aanajorlty of these,
finding that they cannot vote, will
work for the success c? the election
anyway. Some little opposition has
been found to the project and It is the
Intention of the committee to let the
entire matter be fully understood and
if this is done, they say, there is no

The campaign of education will he

Is Just a week away and to see each

of the result but this does not mean
