BRUNSWICK BOARD OF TRADE
CALLS ATTENTION AVAILA¬
BILITY THIS MATERIAL
The Brunswick Board of Trade,
through Secretary Fred G. Warde, 'is
calling alenion to the fact that the
vast quantities of Georgia marsh
grass can and is being used in the
manufacture, of newsprint.
The threatened Canadian embargo
on pulp is likely to curtail the pro¬
duction of paper in the United States,
and yesterday Secret ray Warde sent
the following letter o Geo. R. Durno,
staff correspondent of the Interna¬
tional News Service, Washington, D.
C., who is making a study of the
newsprint situation:
“We have your article in Hearst’s
Sunday American, dated July 15,
1923, under the caption, ‘Pulp Short¬
age Threatens the United States,’ In
this article we notice that the Cana¬
dian government can, if it sees fit, de¬
cline, to permit any Canadian logs
for pulp purposes to enter this coun¬
try, and that in the event the Canad¬
ian government should pursue this
" e i advance in
price as a result.
“I don’t know whether you are
aware of the fact or not, but in a ter¬
ritory between the Savannah river
and the St. Marys river in Georgia
there is, we are informed, an inex¬
haustible supply of marsh grass
which we are also reliably informed
can be converted into a high grade
paper pulp. In fact, quite recently,
the Tampa (Florida) Morning Tri¬
bune printed one of its issues on pa
pe rmade from this marsh grass pulp.
“As to the supply referred to
above, it is a fact that this grass can
be harvested with very litle expense
and that there is no necessity what¬
ever for replanting, as it reproduces
itself after being cut down in the
warm country, at least twice a year,
and sometimes as much as four times
a year. If I have related facts, and I
believe I have, it does seem to me
that some of these American pulp
mills would at least give the question
of using this marsh grass some seri¬
j ous consideration. Quite recently,
upon the request of our agricultural
department,' we expressed a bundle of
this grass to the state capitol and
the analysis of the grass showed very
clearly that it was well suited for pa¬
per pulp purposes. , •
“Also, we are advised that at Lees¬
burg, Fla., is located a pulp plant that
is turning out a reasonably high "this
grade pulp, made from marsh at
time. ‘
“I am assuming that you are in
touch with the newspaper manufac¬
turers of the United States, and I be
lltwe ‘ hat th ® "'formation I have fm
mshed should be brought to their
attention, . particularly at this time. If
it is found necessary to furnish any
number of samples of our marsh j
grass to the pulp manufacturers for
experimental purposes, these will be
forthcoming 1 upon request.”
CHIEF EXECUTIVE j
TO VISIT SOLDIERS
BEFORE CAMP ENDS
GOVERNOR WALKER PROBABLY
COME SATURDAY OF THE
PRESENT WEEK
Soldiers now occupying Camp Con¬
ey and scores of Brunswick friends
looking forward iwith great plea
sure to the contemplated visit of Gov
einor Clifford Walker, which it is,
stated at the capital, will be made by
the populad chief executive.
At the encampment last year the -
soldiers had the pleasure of enter- (
tabling Governor Hardwick twice!
during the encampment period. He!
inspected the camp from one end -to
the other and pronounced it model in
every way. Of course, Governor Wal¬
ker, as commander in chief, will look
everything over and will be accom¬
panied by members-of his staff. A
warm welcome awaits the distin¬
guished party.
NEGRO’S YELLS OF MURDER
AROUSES NEIGHBORHOOD
Rushing down from the tug Inca
at the foot of Howe street, yelling
murder at the top of his voice every
step he took, with a steamboat axe in
borhood in the vicinity of Horwe and
Bay streets shortly after 11 o’clock
last night, and attracted to the scene
a large number of people, including
two or three police, all'of whom ex¬
pected to find at least a half dozen
dead people somewhere in the vicini¬
ty. For live minutes the negro
screamed murder at the top of his
voice, he having been heard for many
blocks away.
When the negro was finally located,
after he had returned to the tug, he
told a rather wild story. He said he
! was asleep on the boat when two ne¬
groes came aboard and “started some¬
thing.” One Of them, he said, was
j thrown overboard and the other then
I started for him, when he grabbed the
axe and started from the boat with
I his yells of murder. Others nearby
! believed it was merely a hallucina¬
tion.
SOUTH GEORGIA
IN GOOD CONDITION
SAYS A. D. DANIEL
POPULAR PASSENGER TRAFFIC
MANAGER A., B. & A. SPENDS
DAY IN CITY
Passenger Traffic Manager A. D
Daniel and Division Passenger Agent
G. A. Smith, of the A., B. & A., left
last night for their respective homes
at Atlanta and Thomasvillq, after
spending yesterday in the city and
on St. Simon.
Mr. Daniel, who recently succeeded
W. W. Croxton, as head of the pas¬
senger department of the A., B. & A.,
and is making a world of friends,
both for himself and his road, by his
geniality, and efficiency. He is
of the best known passenger men in
the South and is a worthy successor
to the popular Mr. Croxton, who re¬
cently resigned his post to become as¬
sociated with a steel and iron foun¬
dry in Birmingham.
“Conditions, agriculturally, along
the line in South Georgia are far
from being discouraging,” said Mr.
Daniel yesterday afternoon. “While
there will not be any bumper crops
made, the farmers, many of them will
gather a two-thirds crops while oth
ers will not be so fortunate, getting,
perhaps, half a crop. It must be re¬
membered that a few months ago the
prospects were gloomy in the ex¬
treme. The seasons were all out of
joint and it began to look as if the
crops would, in many instances, be a
complete failure. But this is all over
now and the planters are congratulat¬
ing themselves that they have gotten
by as well as they have.”
Mr. Daniel stated that in one of the
counties on the A., B. & A. would
plant more than a hundred acres to
cucumbers, alone, while others are
planting largely of other crops. He
says the farmers are diversifying,
and their success, in a large measure,
is due to this fact. “There is optim¬
ism everywhere along the A., B. &
A.,” says Mr. Daniel. “The people
realize they will have to go to work
to accomplish anything, and they are
doing that with a splendid determi¬
nation.”
While the freight traffic is not as
brisk as it has been, the passenger
traffic has shown a gratifying in¬
crease, says Mr. Daniel. The A., B.
& A. brought as many of the State
National Guard to Brunswick as any
of the lines entering the city, and
they arrived ahead of schedule time.
Mr. Daniel and Mr. Smith both
spoke enthusiastically of Brunswicks’
steady growth and predicted that
when the St. Simon highway is com¬
pleted there will be the greatest in¬
flux of people from every section of
the state that was every known in
th& South.

SOME FIGURES
, A (recent insurance journal' gave
some''figures to show the magnitude,
greatness ami importance of life in¬
surance.
The total, new life.] insurance writ
000 .)
To give some idea of the vastness
of these figures, it represents—
1. It equals the total life insurance
in force in the United States in 1903;
2. It is a sum twenty times greater
than the gross revenues of 52,168 post
offices in the United States in 1921;
3. A sum equal to the value of the
| annual output of all the coal in the
j world; of
I 4- A sum slightly below the cost
j the Panama Canal Zone;
; 5. A sum greater than the value of
all the imports and exports of our
great nation in the year 1921;
6. A sum greater in amount than
the capitol stock of all the railroads
of the country.
So you see that life insurance has,
in last few years, risen to enormous
proportions.
