Today. marks/the most momentous
^occasion in Brunswick’s history.

-g--- : ———------
The Mississippi of Georgia is new
assured of being made navigable—
that’s 'signed, sealed apd delivered.
President Harding in something
like two years has fouAd that the
Presidency is no flowery bed of ease.
Glynn county is still going strong
for highway improvements. There
ire others in addition to the building
of the St. Simon Highway, and they
are necessary adjuncts to Georgia -
most pretentious project.
Do dreams ever come true? i. a
question ttet has often been asked
and is always interesting. When, the
sand begins to fly out at L*znIeV
Oak this afternoon, then one dream
will have come true!
That was a great talk that Seiia
tor George made here yesterday be¬
fore the Altamaha River convention
and it was appreciated by the mem¬
bers of the convention arttl by many
others who heard the distinguished
Georgian.
Our good little neighbor Darien 1
showed up good and strong at that
Altamaha river convention yesterday.
Mayor Barclay and some ten oV
twelve other delegates were in at¬
tendance. Darien can always he
counted on in the case of a good
cause.
This is not the hour in Brunswick
to think of obstruction of any sort.
Let’s all give and take. Let’s consid¬
er the Greatest good to the greatest
number if we will be real fair to our
own selves and to all other intk'ests.
there will be no unpleasant feature
to mar the happiness of the day.
' The amateur w-ather observer;,
are all agreed at something very
unusual has been the matter with the
weather in recent vve«ks. All signs
have failed, and the unexpected lias !
happened with such regularity that
the average person would be rather
disappointed if the unexpected failed
so happen
Brunswick is pulling two real
stunts today. The Altamaha river
system convention and the opening
of the actual work on the St. Simon
highway. Both of them are of state- :
wide interest; both of them mean
much to this immediate section and ,
both of them ought to have the solid
backing and the support of all of the
people interested.
Senator George, Congressmen
Lankford and Moore and Commis¬
sioner of Agriculture Brown have
shown a fine spirit in corning down
to the great river convention now in
session in this city. The vast section
traversed by this great fiver system
appreciate their interest in the splen¬
did plan of development which means
so much for a large section of the
Empire State of the South.
Russia may be starving, but it will
take a long, long time for the world
to get to the point of willingness to
concede to Russia all the sympath;.'
which Russia claims. If the govern¬
ment of Russia expended as much
energy in the production of some¬
thing to eat as it puts forth in trying
to embroil the rest of the world ir
trouble, there would be food to spare
in the country.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE*
This beautiful May day ought to
.down into the history of
as one long to be remembered, for
Will bring to Brunswick the
ment of one of her fondest
' ft will the actual work
see
menced on the St. Simon highway,
development for which all of
wjck has worked and 'labored
these many years
In retrospeCting over the
that has been done for this
cent development, it is pleasing
recall how every interest, of this
little city has been devoted to
task with a unity of purpose that,
could not fail. In season and out
season we have all worked with the
one aim of connecting the beautiful
island ot St. Simon with the main
land here at Brunswick, by means
°f a if'cat highway, which because
of geographical conditions meant a
.tremendous engineering feat.
Ban., were skeptical and as is al¬
ways the case, shook their heads and
- aid tiie thing could not be done.
However, there were others of that
ietermined character who have al
ways been the pathfinders in Georgia
development, development, who who said said it it could could ■* u and and a,.,, il il
must bt done! Many followed this
leadership; a campaign of education
was launched, , , the , people , were told
day , m and . day , out what , the plan
meant to Brunswick „ and to Glvnn Glynn v
county and finally the people of city
and county. .-,fter a long campaign.
voted almost unanimously for separ
ate bon- issues in the sum of $350.
000 to put. the thing over.
‘ Then came the long and tedious
wait for plans and specifications and
bias and contracts and again the pa
'ience was tried, but persistence and
•■v.-rlasting sticking to the job again
i uimphed and when till the details
were thrashed out, contracts signed,
money banked and the date fixed for
the actual work!
We say this morning that all
Brunswick de -erves to he commended
ard congratulated that we are to sec
the work started and that fitting cer¬
emonies are to mark the day, which
means so so much much to to ~ Brunswick, to
Glynn county and indeed to the state
of Georgia!
That the final completion of thin
mammoth enterprise in June. 1924.
will bring to us all thal we hope of it,
ls pln ' sincere wish and this morn
mg. as the. great enterprise is to be
launched we congratulate the people
of this plucky little city on their
achievement, which would do credit to
any people on earth!

J RE ALTAMAHA CONVENTION
-
Ihe meeting of the Altamaha Riv
er Svstem Association in this city,
has brought together some of the
leading citizens of the state in the
cau.-e of a great movement, statewide
in its interest and far reaching in its
general plan and purpose.
There is no more important piece of
development now before the people of
the state of Georgia than is this one
of Hie development of the Oconee,
the Ocmulgee and the Altamaha riv
ers, traversing as they do a larger
section of the state of Georgia and a
section that promises much in
way of material development.
There is a wonderful spirit of earn
est enthusiasm in the meeting now in
progress in this city and that senti
ment was expressed yesterday by alt
.,f the speakers, who included some
of the most distinguished and rep re
sentative men in the state. They all
bring the same message of a desire
to aid in the splendid movement;
readiness to-serve and as a unit
they all recognize and stress the
practicability of the plan and the ne
■s»y of its success.
Any plan of development that
brings to its initial meeting ’one of
the two United States senators, two
of the twelve congressmen, a distin
guishe.J state house official, several
judges and many other prominent
Georgians, must have at its founda¬
tion genuine merit and must he prac¬
tical and devoutly to be desired.
There is no occasion for us to stress
this morning the wonderful results
that would follow the development of
this vast river system, which just now
is attracting a large percentage of
the population of the people of South
Georgia; the splendid results
would come are too manifest, too en¬
tirely apparent to need discussion.
However, what is needed, what is eo
sential, what* we must have is eon ■
cerfed action by all sections and b
all peoples at interest. The task be¬
longs to no one section; to no one
city oi county, but it is the sacred
duty of every man and woman who
live in the territory traversed
either of these rivers, to put their
shkuddf.rs to the wheel and do theTi
the cause/ .7 -.>.5. ; , '
.
■n every city and hamlet, every
county organization and every com
mcrcial organization should get busy
this morning and they should
up the work until the-whistle of
steamers is heard on all of the rivers!
Evpry member of congress and both
the iiejpators should be called into ser¬
vice add, they should be called so em¬
phatically and so generally, that they
could not mistake the call if they
wanted to. Senator George and
gressmen Lankford and Moore were
present yesterday and eaMi ;of them,
during the course of the- day's pro
ceedings made addresses in which
they pledged their support to the
movement. If the other members of
the Georgia delegation in congress
will do likewise and if every other
interest in the plan be exercised and
if the work is done thoroughly and
sincerely, then there is no reason why
success should not crown those efforts
aml in that event, the men mho ini
Mated this great movement in Bruns
wick yesterday, will have erected
momunent to their civic patriotism
that will endure forever!
SAFEGUARDING PROSPERITY
Fears that our'prosperous present
may be lost through inflation, as Pha
raoh’s fat years were eaten tip by
the lean, ill-favored kine, will not ma¬
terialize if we follow Herbert Hoov
er E Canny counsel, says the Atlanta
Journal. Journal. Exhorting Exhorting the the American
k and file “save, work and .
ran to
"’atch,” he points out three conserv
and . protecting ... policies. ... , Hie •
mg pn
safety to continued , .
mai Y prosperi
l -V, „ he , says, ,, will .,j be , continued ,. , ...
bigness of our people to. save piilurp*- ,
e( * earnings, to resist extravagance
a,| J waste, to give full individual ex
ertion. Our second safeguard rests
upon the individual business man in
today’s well-developed sense of cau
tion and resistance to the will o’ the
"isp of higher prices, over-expansion
an< 1 speculation. (Jhr third line of
defense is oui credit men and bank
ei 's. who can check the dangers of
speculative credits.”
These sound policies are being pur¬
sued, it appears, throughout the
country; and therein lies large assur¬
ance against those excesses which
ever pay the penalty in deflation and
crashing misfortune. That such dan
gers impend, however, is not to be
denied. High-flowing prosperity al
ways tempts to recklessness. Wise
men are most anxious,, not when
times are worst, but when they are
best. The prudence anil resourceful
ness and hard work which times of
stress engender, serve to repair the
breaches; whereas easy going and
speedy riches tend to break down the
economic morale. It is well, thftn,
that in these cheering days we should
“save, work and watch.”
But there need be no costly reac
tion if these safe paths are held.
While the normal ebb and flow of bus
j n ess is to he expected, America may
reasonably hope to escape the ills of
deflation as long as she avoids the
'penis ofTmflation. Indeed, times are
likely to grow much better if Europe
j s stbailized by those international
guarantees of peace and of helpful
co-working which our government can
do so much to promote. A world in
gured against war will take a vast
deal more of American products and
contribute a vast ileal more to Am
erican prosperity. Given such insur
ance , the next, ten years should be
the most thriving in our annals.
As it now is, despite unsettled con
dltious abroad, American production .
in a number of important fields equal :
or even exceeds the great record of
i920. Virtually all in basis inrius
trie; ore at high tide. Steel, textiles.
ant j building’ go forvar-j with a giant
3 W j n g_ Agriculture while not yet

to a brimming autumn. There is
thus good reason to believe that the.
y ear will end even more encouraging¬
ly than it began, if tiic country colt
tinue to ‘save, watch and work.”
‘FOREVER"
Sometimes “the right word in th r
.right, place" is as timely, as needful
as is “the right man in the rigid
place.” When man and word com
bine, appear at the opportune time,
there is double cause for congratuia
tion and rejoicing, is the statement
made by the TimeS-Unibn. This was
conspicuously illustrated last Satur
; day, in Tallahassee, in the session
of the house of representatives when
. the convict anti,-whipping bill was un
der consideration. The senate bill,
providing that whipping should be
abolished for two years, was before
the house. It was a compromise with
humnnitarianisni, a postponement of
definite, positive, action that sooner
or lat.e^ would have to be taken, in
response to public demand, in a 'mat¬
ter that has aroused the righteous
j indignation of the people of Florida
and throughout the country.
: The reputation of Florida was a
isfesue. Should a system that lias ,op

years,; and see how it works,” admit
j j ting that flogging men and boys, to
make them work was right and prop
i er, but hesitating to let it continue. ;
' Hence, the proposal to abolish whip
ping for two years.
Then arose one of Lake county’s
i able representatives and, with an in
j of spiration heart that we must believe mind, was
i the as well as the
; moved to strike out of the, senate, bill
two words—"two years,” and substi
