Washington. Nov. 23.—The anti
medicinal beer bill was signed today

was nothing in the oVlstead law t<>
preclude prescription beer as medi
cine.
The prohibition advocates in con
gress. soon after Mr. Palmer’s ruling
evolved a bill which, in a somewhat
changed form, was today made a law.
The bill in additiou to outlawing
medical beer, provides that not more
than one fourth of a gallon of vinous
liquor or vinous or spiritous liquors
separately, or In the aggregate con
taining more than one half >f on-> per

I At a meeting of the Young Men’s
Club about four months ago, Constant
Miller, chairman of the board of
Glynn county commissioners, made
the suggestion thgt ended yesterday
in the voting of bonds, almost of unan
imous nature, for the building of a
bridge from Brunswick to the queen
of south Atlantic islands—St. Simon.
In the suggestion, this stalwart Bruns
wickian informed the club of the fact
that the point had been reached where
“something must be done.’’ It was
done yesterday and all honor is due
Mr. Miller for starting the movement.
From the minute the polls opened
at the court house yesterday morning,
7:30, until the close, 6:30, there was
not an idle moment with scores of
citizens who bad devoted many hours
of hard work in assisting in convinc
ing voters that a bridge to Ht. Simon
would solve the question as to Bruns
wick’s future. The bond organiza
tion was complete and voterb were
sent for, lists checked, and all the
movements of an “office hunting”
campaign made it evident that bond
supporters went in to win and win
they J4d. To call the names of all
whp w4*re active in the movement
which ended successfully yesterday
would be a Job that would require
several columns but it must be said
that of the leaders none did more val
uable work than the originator, Con
stant Miller, F. E. Twltty, Fred
Warde and J. B. Abrams, and, of
course, <be civic organizations of
Brunswick. The various women’s
clubs did their full share and this
election has demonstrated that the
weaker sex is sbme time right there
with the stronger, and especially
when tbelr city and Hs future Is bang
ing In the balance. All honor to the
women—they did their share.
Very Close.
The News estimated that the anti
bond vote would go to a total of 70
In the connty. It went to 61. It was
an honest estimate which has char
acterized every statement made since
the beginning of the campaign. .Every
bond supporter,kept to facts and
facts alone and the misleading state
ments of those who opposed should
