into an enjoyable sort of an affair
in. the spirit of the season,
There was no set. program, Chairman
Lambright, of the program
tee, having called on various mem
bcis to report the state of the good
situation in this section.
F. M. Scarlett, who attended

the roads, between Brunswick and Sa
vannah, and Brunswick and Waycross

meat was greeted with applause.

teresting talk in which he stressed

tion of the oyster industry in Glynn

business on Chesapeake Bay and said
he (was of the opinion that it

the effort was made in this section.
J. B. Abrams, of the Glynn Can

the St. Simon’s Highway and
on Tracks of Atlanta, Bir¬

Arrangements are pending for the
establishment of another industry in
Biunsv. ick, according to joint an¬
nouncement made by City Manager
, George L. Rinkliff, and Secretary
| Fred G. Warde, of the Brunswick
i Board of Trade. The St. Simon’s
Highway is accredited as the
• tivo for the establishment of the in
, ,j U j;tvy, which is expected to be in op
| oration by the time the highway is
j 0 pot,oil for traffic.
E. C. McLean, of Palmetto, Fla., is
I |which in charge of the new undertaking,
| will be a packing house for
fruits and vegetables produced in this
j locality, for shipment to the northern
markets. Both Secretary Warde and
! City Manager Rinkliff believe that
: the establishment of this plant will
•make a great step forward in the
velopment of the agricultural re
. sources of Glynn county. The great
difficulty with agriculture in South
i Georgia at the present time is that
the grower is handicapped by lack
means of getting his products quick
ly and profitably into the hands
| the consumer.
Mr. McLean recently purchased
; largo tract of land on St. Simon’s lsl
! and, for the growing of products
j northern markets, and the
!house [will be operated in
‘ with it. Already, he has severed sim
i Bar pack,ng houses in operation in

jthe crates can be secured right in the
• city, the labor can 111 00 secuml llere
while the only haulage from the isl
j | and would be the' products opened themselves. this week
Negotiations were
with the city manager relative to so
a site for the plant, and also
! with the A., B. & A. r.ulroad for tho
„ C ccssarv switching facilities. It is
believed that all arrangements can be
] completed in a very short time, and
1 building 1 operations started immedi
ately
Some idea of the amount of busi
ness expected to be done at the plant
may be gained from the retjuireiiient
of Mr. McLean, that the plant must
be so located that six freight cars
may be loaded at a time. It is esti
mated that several thousand truck
loads of produce will be hauled over
the iSt. Simon’s Highway to the plant,
and Mr. McLean assured the local
men with whom he negotiated that he
woud not expect any preference in
toll rates on this hauling, being will
to pay whatever rate was fixed for
the other islanders,
The city has available a site which
Mr. McLean considers ideal for his
purpose, and City Manager Ranklilf
recommend to the city commis
sion at its next meeting the closing
of a deal whereby the property will be
sold to Mr. McLean, and Secretary
Warde, of the Board of Trade, has an
nounced that the purchase price will
be paid by the board, in furtherance
of its policy of providing free sites
to all new industries locating in this
city.

MEASURE OVER
Atlanta, Dec. 7.—The Ellis statu¬
tory bill, providing for an income tax,
on which the hope of the administra¬
tion force had been pinned, and which
the governor in his special message
yesterday asked he p issed, was de¬
feated in the House last night 83 to
77, the session extending until after
L, 7 30 o’clock for the purpose of taking
.
The support for the bill vva s con¬
siderably less than even those opposed
to it had expected, and it was strik¬
ing that ability to hold the member¬
ship in the hall until the vote was
taken, we.s as pronounced as it was.
Earbcr in the day it had become
apparent, on test vote that the ail
ministration forces had been gener
alled with surprising success in the
last two or throe days.
With the Ellis bill, providing for
statutory income tax provisions up
for action, and the conscious fact that
it is one of the most complicated
pieces of legislation ever presented to
the assembly, Governor Walker’s call
upon the assembly to pass it, with its
provision for a net income tax, had
an early effect. !
