Brunswick is on the highway to
still greater achievements.
; Fish stories are related early and
often.
The' heavens are telling—in May
showers.
' ’Tween truth and fiction there
more or less distinction.
Those marathon dances have been
characterized disgusting by the South- j
ern Baptist convention, and the en
tire country is joining in the chorus.
' The big dredge jis h$isy in the
marshes of Glynn, laying the foun¬
dation for the greatest highway pro
ject ever undertaken in Georgia.
The dewberries are also to be tak¬
en into account as one of Georgia’s
greatest assets. An,I nowhere unde)
the sun do they grow more luxuriant¬
ly and luxuriously than right here in
Glynn.
An intensive campaign to make
Savannah a “spotless” town was be¬
gun in that city yesterday. The idea!
Well, if that isn’t optimism com¬
pounded.
America’s bill against Germany
totals just $1,479,064,313.92’. There
are some folks who would like to
know what the ninety-two cents is
for.

ST. SIMON HIGHWAY
Operations have actively be¬
gun on the construction of a
highway across the marshes and
inland waters dividing historic
St. Simon island from the main¬
land.
This will not only link Bruns¬
wick with one of the most beau¬
tiful ocean beach resorts along
the south Atlantic, but with a
bountiful island of historic mem¬
ories, beautiful hardwood ham¬
mocks, and all the luxurious
scenery of the semi-tropics.
It is a great undertaking; one
of the most mammoth in concep¬
tion, in engineering accomplish¬
ments and in pnogressive ideal¬
ism ever undertaken by any com¬
munity of the size in Georgia, or
i in the south. For it must be re¬
membered that building this
highway with its great span of
concrete bridges, and miles of
j trestle, is entirely a local project,
j being undertaken by a county of
25,000 people, without state or
federal aid. It will cost wlien
completed nearly a half million
dollars, and it is infinitely a
greater project for Brunswick to
master than the proposed Cen¬
tral Park project fof Atlanta to
master. And yet Brunswick and
Glynn county will build I his
great monument to progress, nor
will it ever see the day that it
will regraf- the investment. What
it wi’1 mean to that city and sec¬
tion cannot be estimated in fig¬
ures.
The St. Simon highway will be
the most historic road in Geor¬
gia. It will cross tire marshes
that Sidney Lanier immortalized
in verse, and from it one may
visualize, as the poet wrote, the
folds of land that meet the folds
of see. And from jt, too, one
may look out over the watery
graves of British and Spanish
soldiers who fought the decisive
battle that determined the di¬
vide between the early Colonial
possessions of these two nations.
It passes the sac- d spot when
the Wesleys labored, and the
equally as sacred fort at Freder¬
ica where Oglethorpe made safe
ami permanent the last of the or¬
iginal colonies.
It is the purpose of the people
of Glynn to mark these spots
with enduring memorials; and
the great highway itself, unique
and inspiring in its great pur¬
poses, is to be, and will always
endure as a memorial to a spirit
of advancement that will appeal
to fill Georgians as long as time
shall last.
The above editorial was written by
Honorable Clark Howell, and appear
ed in the Atlanta Constitution on
May 19. Nothing better has been
said or written about this great pro
ject, and it merely emphasizes what
all of 1he people of Brunswick have
long known, that Clark Howell is
one of the very best friends that
Brunswick has. Notwithstanding the
fact that he lias beer^ constantly en
gaged for many weeks in the per
formance of his duties as a member
of the President’s Coal Commission.
lie takes the time necessary to en
able him to keep informed as to the
things of interest transpiring in the
State, and in the midst of these du
ties he wrote this fine editorial,
Clark Howell is not only a notable
Georgian and a leader of every pro
gressive movement, but he is one of
t | ie big men 0 f the nation.

A SALUTARY LESSON
Holocausts, such as that which oc
curved Thursday night at Cleveland,
near Camden, S. C-, when the school
house there was burned, taking a toll
- .f seventy-five lives, men, women and
children, wouldn't have taken place if
the building had been <■/ns true ted
along the lines of-the Glynn Commun¬
ity school, a. few miles from Bruns¬
wick.
This structure is a model of rural
school architecture, not only as to
facilities for modern instruction, but
also as to the safety of the pupils who
attend it. Having only one story. ’*
is pr: cticalyl impossible that an :
lives could be lost at the Community
school in the event of a lire. T c
danger is minimized against any con
ceivable calamity.
In fact, all of the death-traps of
this character have been abandon:
in Glynn county. The pupils form'-'.
ly attending these schools are nqv,
conveyed to a building that safe
guards them against danger of fire
In fact the Board of Education hr
given epeeial attention to this foatut:
of the school buildings throughout the
county and there is slight probabiiit
•jf.say lives being lost by the burning
of these.' budding, y.hith, oy the v/i.
.
j, u if there is a count •
rs. tir state that can hoa. t of bet ts
and s-'fee sehoolhoukes than ran
Glynn. The local schools, both ^h"
and colored, are provided, with adc
quate fire escapes, and are mo.-iern
every respect.
It is passing strange that in rural
districts, where land is cheap
.bundint, that two-story frame build¬
ings should be constructed for school
purposes, and in many instances
shells. But after all it will
time to remedy these defects, which
are, or should be, patent to all
ing men.
There is nothing but sympathy for
(he stricken South Carolina commun¬
ity, but there is no reason why
it should not teach other careless
communities a valuable lesson. The
statement has been sent out that the
two-story frame building at Cleve¬
land, which proved a death trap for
scores of pupils and patrons of the
school hr,I been condemned as un¬
safe and that it would not have been
again used after Thursday night’s
exercises.
But that last time was once too
often, which has so often been said [I ,
by way of bitter comment on procras¬ -
tination. In truth,When a building is
unsafe it should not be used even
once. The authorities should not al
low a public gathering in quarters
where the presence of a number of
people endangers the lives of many,
or few, It is to be fervently hoped
that the Cleveland schoolhouse fire
may drive home a salutary lesson in
every community.
NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER
Bays Augusta Chronicle: At the
Altamaha River System convention,
at Brunswick, among others, there
were three Congressmen and one
Senator—Senator George. Among
other things he declared that unless
there were more organization and co
operation along industrial lines in
Georgia agricultural conditions
would sink down to the levels of Eu
ropean peasantry. It was stressed
by the Senator that not only should
Georgia care for its natural resources
in -agriculture, but that twery other
,
i available resource should be utilized
i to the best advantage. In this con
j nection he put particular emphasis
i on conditioning the rivers of the state
! especially the three composing the
i Altamaha system, the Oconee, the Oc
■ mulgee and Altamaha.
j The Senator declared that the Con
| gress would support any movement
| for the development of the water
! ways if the project was established
! as a worthy undertaking. He urged
those in attendance upon the conven¬
tion to put their energy, their time
and their money behind the propcct, j
i thereby assuring the government of
good faith, adding to the possibilities
of the successful completion of the j
waterways development so greatly ;
dcsirc.-I and needed.
| The Brunswick convention formed ;
an organization by the election of j
the following: President, George H. J
Smith, of Brunswick; vice presidents
Judge J. E. Burch, Dublin; Jessup.! George:
W. Hubbell, Macon; W. L.
Eastman; John Knox, Lumber City;
treasurer, J. H. Ennis, Milledgeville; |
secretary, Fred G. VVardc, Brunswick.!
Standing committees for the year are:
Program, the president Bob and Gamble, sec-re-1
tary; pub icity director, j
Macon; finance, M. B. McKinnon,:
J. E. Yates, Macon; W. H. Proctor,;
Dublin; legislative committee, Mai- \
colm D. Jones, W. E. Dunwody, Ben j
Gilliam. Macon. The executive com j
mittee i 3 to be composed of the ofl'i
cers of the association and one repre
sentative from each county border
ing on the Altamaha system. A com
mittee was formed charged with the
duty of creating a fund of $2,500,000
for the purpose of collecting and as
sembling data to be laid before Con
gress.
The words used by Senator George,
■during this meeting, are of the most
significant interest to Augusta and
the Savannah Valley country. The
status value and desirability of !h*
improvement of the Savannah ri'.e
must be strongly and convincing!;
laid before Congress. We must prow
our faith in the Savannah by, at tin,
time, utilizing it, as a freight car¬
rier, in every way that we can. Wo
will win Federal help for the river
when we command it.
The United States Chamber c
Commerce, which can hardly be a
, used of mere sentimental idealism,
formally “reiterates its convict o
that the United States should adhew
to the protocol provided for the e.
tablisbment ain maintenance of the
Permanent Court of Internation:'
Justice and expresses gratification i
the measure being taken by the go
eminent to that en'!.’
