The Board of Trade wants your aid
and co-operation and it is asking for
it. Want you give it freely?
The Fascist! found at least a
bloodless way of entertaining Rome
and in the light of the past that was
some precedent itself.
The next big anniversary on the
palendar is November lltb —Armis-
tice day. Let.’s make it a real gala
day,.
The crime wave we hear so much
of these days and which is ever
present on the front page, is impar
tial at any rate,. It takes the preach
er right along in its wake.
We are told that Governor Hard
wick is to take steps at once in the
interest of prison reform in Georgia.
The governor is a little dilatory in
the promises, to say the very best of
it.
Give your whole hearted and cor
dial support to the ladihs of the Y.
W. C. A., who are making a very
strong effort this week to produce
funds w|ltU which to operate this
magnificent Brunswick institution.
The Fordney tariff act and new
berryism alone was enough to etern
nally kill any administration, as our
friends* the RepuEtltcans, will find
out next Tuesday.
As November 7th„ approaches the
mourners bench in the Republican
party becomes more and more crowd
ed and. when the smoke of battle
clears away, the country is going to
behold some formerly large political
personages on th e very front seat.
Well, well, the bonds for the St.
Simon highway have bfeen validated
by the superior court. What's the
delay now? Why not get right busy
advertise the bonds, sell them and
start the work? Think It over, gen
tlemen in charge.
The labor party in L.-gland a few
days ago met an overwhelming defeat
Labor will some day discover that it
it losing its popularity for the reason
that it is blindly following a poor and
misdirected leadership. Strikes, vio
lence, assaults on government, etc.
are not instruments with which to
win popular approval iu civilized
lands.
Once again, we want our friends
and every one else for that matter to
know and understand without any
confusion at all, that the News is not
in politics and never again does it
propose to play that game. Every
good, and wholesome movement for
the public interest will have our cor
dial and active support, but we will
not take part in purely local politics..
The country will not soon forget
Thomas Nelson Page, whose funeral
occured in Virginia yesterday. His
work as an author alone entitles him
to a very high place in the hearts
of his people. He was a true South
erner and in his works he had a hap
py' fashion of portraying the best
there is in the history and the tradi
tion of tbip sufiny land of ours. Peace
to his ashes.
Wlithlin the next :tehj dayls now.
there will be completed in Bruns
wick, perhaps th c handsomest school
.building for colored - children in the
;sfr(e of Georgia. The building is
l.'tridtjy modern and high class -and
Would-he an ornament-..t0 any city in

is' a fine sign of the times, when a
community gets busy on school
buildings.
WHAT’S THE USE?
The day has come when the people
of this county and especially of this
section should find something else,
something more edifying and some
thing more substantial to do than
dig up causes, etc., of the civil war!
Life is tod short!
Lincoln and Davis and Lee and
Grant, wer e all good men, they played
their parts as their God and bteir
conscience directed.
Let them sleep!
The following from the Atlanta
Constitution is to the point and is
worthy of deep consideration —We
commend it most emphatecally:
The Macon Telegrath deplores
the current agitation of the
question of who started the civil
war, and particularly the attacks
that are being made in this late
day against the motives and
character of Abraham Lincoln.
In another column we repro
duct what it has to say on the
subject, and in reproducing its
editorial we commend its atti
tude.
The civil war started almost
sixty-two years ago and ended
four years later.
Even if it were possible for
everybody to agree upon the cause
of that war, no good purpose
can be served by resurrecting
issues that are dead, rekindling
the 'res or sectional animosity,
quickening discarded prejudices
of the past and calling up memo
ries of circumstances and condi
tions that are rapidly being, and
should be, forgotten,.
The civil war was fought to a
bitter conclusion by brother ar
rayed against brother.
At that tim e the American peo
ple were divided into two hostile
camps; The north and the south.
Each thought its cause was
-rjght and that the other was
wrong.
Each was determined jn its
honest convictions, and history
records how bravely, valiantly,
heroically both sides fought.
From that day to this the best
sentiment of the north and of the
south has been striving tc heal
wounds of the “60's” to “let by
gones be by-gones,” to forget
past sectional hatred, to weld the
old breach ana to solidify both
sections into one great, reunited
whole.
And so complete has been the
reconcillition that today It is
only upon rare occasions that
even an echo of the discordant
notes of the past is heard.
Since the civil war thousands
of men who wore the gray in
that bitter sectional conflict have
rendered valiant service to the
reunited country, side tj/ sidle
with men who wor e the blue —
all fighting under the same flag.
And their sons fought together
in the Spanish-American war.
And today thousands of the
sons of those men of the south
ar e lying beside sons of those
men of the north —casualties of
the world war, and having fought
and died under the same flag on
the battlefields of France!
These belate attacks upon
Abraham Lincoln can do no
earthly good.
Even if jt were tree that Abra
ham Lincoln was not ‘‘a praying
man ’ as has been charged, what
of it- what difference does it
mak e now?
Abraham Lincoln c an do no
an enemy of the South than Jef
ferson Davis was an enemy of
the north.
Neither of those two great men
was an enemy to each other’s
section.
Both were born jn adjoining
counties in Kentucky.
Th e great question of that day
created differences of opinion
and gav e rise to bivision of sen
timent resulting in controversy
of long standing, and which could
be settled only by the arbitra
ment ol’ the sword.
There is too much of a con
structive nature that the Ameri
'can people, both north and south,
can do and must do to advance
the cause 0 f humanity and the
progress of the world for them
to waste their time in raking
over the embers of a fire long
since burned milt, jn order to
disprove something that will hurt
the feelings of brothers,
What’s the use!
W e have big work to do as a
reunited country which has de
veloped ijfto the ’greatest and
most powerful nation on the face
of the earth.
We hav c turned our face from
the dead past and j:(iw.a rcl the
rising sun.
AVe cherish all the memories of
the past and its heroes will ever
be enshrined in our hearts—hut
now js: not thc time tor bitterness
and Crimination.
THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.
Editor, JJrunswick News: Your ed
itorial on Peach county was evident
ly based on misapprehension of the
fact's, and we Houston county peo
ple feel sure you will gladly set us
right before your readers.
Justice to ten thousand Georgians
and the life of local self government
are at stake in the November elec
tion.
The issue has been directly voted
on three timfes by Houston county,
and once by the three counties of the
senatorial Each time the
vote was overwhelmingly for Peach
county, because it is a local eco
nomic necessity.
Ten thousand people think so
strongly enough to consent to give
up court house, road equipment all
county property; most of the good
roads and every concrete bridge
in the county, leaving all to the old
county, besides paying our part of the
county debt, and to ourselves bear
the whol e expense of starting anew
county.
It costs the state not a penny,
lightens state burdens, because in
creased values always follow new
county development. Locally, we
every cost, satisfied we will be
amply repaid in the efficient and eco
nomical operation of a compact, hom
ogeneous county, of small area and in
carrying out our co-operative plans
for model school and- road systems,
and running the county on modern
business principles. Look what
Turner has done. We hope to even
excel! trat record of achievement.
Georgia and Kentucky: have the
smallest counties of any Southern
states. And they ar e the most pro
gressive. AH backward sections
have large counties.
Big business divides more and
more into smaller administrative
units, as witness the chain stores
branch banks, Standard Oil Company
automobile concerns, etc. Georgia is
but a big business organization, the
counties the administhative units,
and the big unwieldly fion-cooperativ c
units are the never economically or
efficiently administered.
Peach, as well as Houston, will
have about twice as many negroes
as whites, making a small area im
peratively necessary for proper and
efficient preservation of law and or
der.
Our fight before the legislature, of
ficially in the hands of the two Hous
ton representatives, and the sena
tor, elected on the sole issue, was
conducted for Houston's citizens by
Prof. Ralph Newton, superintendent
of public schools, as chairman, ably
assisted hy Rev. Loy Warwick and
many citizens.
It was a fair, clean fight. The legis
lature .was dead against us at first,
but after investigating the facts,
every senator but two voted for us
and two-thirds of the representatives
AVe took it for granted the people
would ratify this action, just us we
assume they will on November 7th,.
ratify the action of the state pri
mary. Both are unbroken precedents
in Georgia. /
Among thsse actively for Peach
county are Judge Mathews of the
Superior court, Judge Riley of the
Houston city court of Perry, tax re
ceiver, tax collector, county schoo!
commissioners, chairman of the coun
ty commissioners, all seeing and
'realizing the absolute necessity for
this division.
Yet all these people, as well as oui
ministers, teachers, lawyers, farmers,
bankers, manufacturers, laborers,
merchants, and the entire citizenship
of this third of the county, as good
men and women as are jn Georgia.
Villified by tl) e disgruntled minority
opposition as being corruptionists
and most of the legislatohs as being
corrupted.
Let all who believe that vote
against us, precedent or no preceil
ent.
No man can read the opposing
propaganda of abuse and imagine for
a moment that these two sections
can ever again liv e together in har
money. They prove our case for us.
We differ in business, industrially,
agriculturally, in "every way. We
fight differently. We have never ap
pealed to the negro vote. They ad
vertise this ‘‘j s not a primary” but ft
"general election.” where “EVERA
BODY votes,” black italics their*s.
We have never accused them of buy
ing lobbies, about which they geem
to know so much, or -corrupting any
one, though, with Montezuma's help,
(whose new county plan this pre
vents,) they had more money than
we, and fought as strongly as we did.
The facts were simply with us.
There will never be a foot of paved
road in either section of the county
until this division is effected, nor a
bond issued for schools, or for any
'purpose.
Even those opposed gciuu’ally to
new cOynties,: alter ; exuijailiiing the
facts here conceded this one in an ob
,olute necessity.
We confidentaly ask you to exam
ine the data being sent you. heliev

your support and help prevent the
GOOD MORNING
| Just after closing hours one day!
at the offices of Kuhn, Loth &
Company, it was discovered that
some very important papers , i
to be delivered to J. P. Morgan,l
of J. P. Morgan Company, and t b
there was no one left iri the estab
lishment to deliver them except
the negro porter. The importance
of conveying the papers was so
great that it was at last decided to
immediately dispatch the negro on
the errand. Upon his arrival 5,
Morgan’s offices. Rastus explained
that he must see J. P. Morgan of
J. P. Morgan Company, in person,
on an important matter. He final- 1

‘T am,” condescended Mr. Mor
gan, “and who are you that comes
on such an important errand?" I
“Suh,” replied the negro haugh
tily, “I’se de coon of Kuhn, Loeb
& Company.”
The domestic problem once
again: The elderly charwoman
was complaining bitterly of the
laziness of one of the women who
employed her.
“Not a ’and will she turn, mum,”
she said, “not a and. Just fancy, ;
