“WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES

Former Congressman, Although
Engaed in Practice of His Pro
fession in Washington, D. C.,
is Still a Citizen and Register
ed Voter of Brunswick.
Board of Trade, Brunswick, Ga.:
A copy of the letter to the voters
and cit,izensof Glynn county is
sued by the executive committee
of the St. Simon Highway urging
support of proposed issue of bonds
for highways and bridge to St. SI.
mon Island at a bond election
next Wednesday has just been re
ceived by me as a citizen and
voter and I strongly favor the
bond issue. I am proud of the pro*
gresaive step forward shown by
calling the election. We all owe
it to ourselves and our posterity,
to our love of Brunswick and
Gfynn county, to take t| next
forward step by carrying bonds In
the election. A failure to do so
would be a calamitous step back
wards. Georgia is today being
traversed by magnificent roads,
but they will be incomplete and
will avail us but little unless we
provide easy access to beautiful
St. Simon. We have a great op
portunity and I am sure our peo
ple will take advantage of it.
W. G. BRANTLEY.
The above telegram from Hon. W.
O. Rrantley Is self-explanatory and one
that should cause any voter who is
against the bond Issue or "on the
fence** to join the progressive proces
slon and vote for bends tomorrow.
While Mr. Rrantley practices law In
Washington, he Is a citizen, a vo*er
and a taxpayer of Brunswick and
Glynn county and Is Interested* In varl
offs local enterprises. He has sound
ed the keynote In his short but pa*
trtotlc telegram. Mr. Rrantley says:
"We owe It to ourselves and our pos
terity.’’ And while the man who can
say: "I got mine" may not want this
great Improvement to the working
man and to the man who has his to
get. the highway will prove the great
est factor In the getting.
Mr. Brantley has kept In close touch
with the city and county. He has made
investments since he started the prac
tice of his profession in Washington
and his advice comes from a man who
knows and one whom the people have
honored with election to congress.
Rrantley is not the kind of a man to
i give bad advice.

THOS. W. HARDWICK,
Governor.
When the governor of a great state
like Georgia wires such as the above,
from Thomas W. Hardwick, the state’s
chief executive, is it not proof conclu
sive that the state and the south have
both eyes on Brunswick and Olynn
county tomorrow?
The endorsement of the election is
unqualified and in plain words.
And the governor is right. The high
way will means thousands of visitors
where hundreds come at present. It
means an era of building and general
activity such as Brunswick has never
seen or dreamed of before.
Governor Hardwick is a member of
the port commission and so Is Secre
tary of State McLendon. Both have
endorsed die St. Simon project and
what will they think of a community
which will from lack of enterprise and
personalism, let a chance like this
go by. Both are Brunswick’s friends
.and they will be even greater ao if i
Brunswick shows that Rrnnswick j
wants to help Brunswick.
