Today marks the beginning of the
greatest river project ever attempt¬
ed in Georgia—the development of
the “Mississippi of Georgia.’’
With the completion of the Alta
maha System, Macon and Brunswick
■will be more Tlotely related than
ever before.
Bonar Law may not intend to quit.'
but his cautious nature has led him
to provide an ample alibi as
reasons for being made to.
It will require more than the efforts
of one man to defeat the greatest
project ever undertaken by any pro¬
gressive city and county in tiie state.
Injunctions are, as a rule, the last
resort of the drowning man catching
at straws.
Senator Walter George, having
nia.-Ie a few observations of Biuns
wick's harbor and waterways, is so
thoroughly impressed, teat he will be
one of the leading spirits at the next
session of the congress to champion
the development of the waterways

day, entertaining the delegates from
about forty towns and cities of Gtor

River System convention. There i
something to do every hour in the
day for the two days they are to
be here, not tiie least important being
the trip over to the mouth of the Al
tamaha.

THE ALTAMAHA M8ET
Brunswick was never in a happier
frame of mind than it is today.
What municipality could be made
to feel her importance, her prestige,
if one is especially desirous of meas
uring her up that way, than Bruns
wick feels in welcoming the delegate
to the Altamaha River System con
vcntion. which is to be held today an.
tomorrow ?
The project was inspired from tin
source to the mouth of the greates
,. lV( . r system of Georgia, by leadinr
promoters of waterways development
in the South. This is not an initia
lory st p, it is one that has been til
’ream of t'nc optimists of one-fifth o
the counties of Georgia. The possi
bUities of the development of the A!
tamalia System of Rivers have beei
: r h im f f "; >’ ear? > but str « n S e t(
‘“*e. there never been a con
Crete, realistic movement, for thi
propagation of this system of river
until the present time.
The meeting of the inland water
way advocates in Brunswick toda>
and tomorrow will be one of great
• rtcr-rn to the entire state, for it doe
nut affect any given section, but th
rivs r towns and cities of Georgi
-vliijh line the banks, or contiguous
to the Ocmulgee, Oconee and Alta
: aha. The possibilities of this grea'
. m are practically illimitable
xiier will be speakers in Urunswicl
today who can relate in a practical
" : v the possibilities of this great
system of rivers.
What an accomplishment it will be
and it is going to be realized, to have
river boats, of great tonnage, plyin:
the streams without interruptioi
from Brunswick to Macon—and fron
Brunswick to M illedgeville—touch in <
as it were, the very heart of Geor
gia, the undeveloped part of the state
where millions of feet of the finest
timber have never been touched by
(he woodman’s axe, or measured bj
the surveyor’s chain.

Georgians in Brunswick today, and

The convention of the Altamahr
System of Rivers convention will be
one of the most important ever held
* in Georgia, and it will be productive
of results, for the personnel of the
speakers, and the promoters, assure
that fact. There is a very wholesome
j welcome to all the delegates fron

wbo } s now being declared as the
s t a n,]jng woman of

jy r ,, a( j hte situation and
any a pp eara nce of partisanship
ing charge of Federation affairs.
At the same time. President
ing did an admirable thing when
communicated with the
meeting in regard to his Court
posa | The Philadelphia Ledger
f 0 Ji 0W jng to say in regard to
ji ar< |{pjr» s proposition:
President Harding is convinced
that no man may stay long in
White House and remain a con¬
vinced “isolationist.” He has
turned to the Permanent Court
for International Justice and
fights for it in the lace of a very
considerable amount of pressure
upon him to desert it. He is
equally convinced that the people
of these Unite,i Slates ave not
such stiff-necked and shudder¬
ing “isolationists” that they are
fearful of the World Court.
He is right. Politicians and
vote-chasing witch-doctors may
be afraid of it, but the people
are not. He i? a thousand times
right when he tells the General
Federation of Women's Clnbs
that in the matter of this Court
“the national heart, conscience
ar,d judgment are alike enlist¬
ed, and against these we need
never fear that any opposition
may prevail.” *
In this the President reads the
signs of the times very clearly.
The irreconcilables and bitter¬
enders are missing or misreading
these signs.
The World Court question is in
the way of becoming a moral is¬
sue, an issue of “heart, con¬
science and judgment.” Its sup¬
porters are not concerned about
partisanship.
Th? people of the churches of
America are not afraid of this
Court. They welcome it and de¬
mand that we enter.
The friends of the League of
Nations are not fearful of it.
Neither are the workers for
world peace, the foes of war, nor
the believers in calm and legal
adjustment of international quar¬
rels. It is not strange the Pres¬
ident should find that on no ques¬
tion since -he came to the White
House has there been “so impres¬
sive a demonstration of substan¬
tial unified opinion.”
The President, having set his
hand to the plow, is not looking
back. There is no need that he
should. He has the nation with
— him in this, irreconcilables, bit¬
ter-enders to the contrary not¬
withstanding.

Bubbling Water, Bubbling Water,
Altamaha younger daughter
Newborn from the City Gate,
Hastening away
vVhcre unnumbered streams await,
Hailing thee to play.
Down the honeysuckled valleys
Fly thy daneing feet,
Where a thousand leafy alleys
(tier pleasures sweet.
Spicy heart-leaves holding up
For thy filling like a cup
Dusky pitchers faintly pink
Low beside the mossy brink
Where thy ripples sway the vine
Of the dipping muscadine,
While the pines forever sign
Whispering a lullaby
For Ocmulgee, lovely child,
Innocent and undefiled,
Wandering wayward through th
wild.

All her songs forgotten there
In the lake of quiet water,

Bubbling Water, Bubbling Water,
Altamaha’s wakened daughter,
Foaming past that prison wall
( n a roaring waterfall
And escaping, bond yet free,
Downward roll they billows
On towards the beckoning sea
Past the fringing willows;

Where pale tombs their watch
keeping
And the ghostly mists arc creeping;
Past the walking city bright
All whose myriad beams of light
Spring from thine imprisoned
Then fair Echeconnee meeting
Limpid Tobesofkee greeting
Where the mighty swamps

And the dim allurements hold thee.

Low and yet enthralling
Tells thee of a Sister near
Whose dark waves are calling—
Of Oconee, Muddy AVater,

Stand between to part and sever

Thwarting every fond endeavor,
To attain the goal.

Till at last, thou hast thy will.

GREAT BRITAIN AND RUSSIA
Mill Kn .1 • k! force Russia to terms,
or will Russia - Soviet Russia, stand 1
Iter ground am? tell England to do;
' h-r worst or best, as the case may
be' This question presents itself .
upon reading certain demands made j
bv toe British government upon the;
Soviet government, which appear to
he in the nature of an ultimatum.
Great Britain’s attitude appears to 1
he brm, to put it mildly, and, in view
of her attitude toward Russia in the
p.;st, it comes ________ somewhat _____________ as a sue
prise. Mr. Lloyd George was rather
gentle in his dealings with Russia, l*
and not until the present has Mr.
Bonar Law’s ministry changed that
policy. But Lord Curzon’s note ap- j
pears in the nature of a complete re- 1
versa), says the Columbus Enquirer
Sun.
The British note makes three satisfac- de-j
mands, as follows: “First,
tory assurance 'concerning propagan
da; second, admission by the Soviet i
of liability for various offenses j
against British subjects and ships, 1
with an undertaking to nay compen- •
ration ration of of these these offenses’; offense: and, third,
unequivocal withdrawal of the two .
communications framed by the Soviet ,
overnmeirt in reply to the protests
handed to the Moscow roreign office j
by the British icpiesem it’.ve, Rob
?,f. H(dg-o:i. m err .lection with
the religious ivi; ecu 1 ions.’
Tarsia is gi re l ten days in which'
■ to comply fully and unconditionally
with these terms, failing which, the i
note says. Great Britain will recog
nize that the Soviet does not wish
i to maintain the existing relations be
tween the two governments. It is !
raid that among the members of the
British mission at Moscow the opin
Lon prevails that “the Russians would i
have to back down further than at
.
rny time in Soviet history if they con- j
ceded Lord Cnrzon’s demands and ac- i
cepted the tone of the note meekly.”
Just what caused this sudden
change of front on the part of the
British government toward Russia is
not quite clear. But it may fore
! shadow the coming of dramatic
events. There must be something be- i
hind this latest British move that has
: not yet come to the surf'ice; and the
: cynically inclined will wonder if new
oil fields or mineral deposits or other
i concessions are at stake.
