of Those Who viii Manage
the Election.

The election of state and county OH.
Gers will occur today efd as far as
G ynn county is concerned the cleo
con will be a very quiet one. There
is some opposition to two of the
amendments and it may be that they
viii be defeated in this county. The
amendment. however, providing for
the establishment of several new. coun
ties will receive big vote, not only
IN this, but every other county in
south Georgia. 1t is Understood that
the politicians ot north Georgia are
using every effort possible to defeat
the amendment, and the counties OF
81 nth Georgia should roll up a big
majority for it.
1t is hoped that a very creditable
showing will be made in this county.
There are only 500 voters registered
and Of this number 1t is expected that
between 400 aud 500 will vote.

Just as the fourth man had crawled
through the hole, Glen Green a wo-
man, charged with numbering Jim
Davis, gave the alarm and Sheriff j.
Il. Demsey ran upstairs to prevent
further escapes.
While the prisoners worked ON the
opening the other sang and kept vi
a disturbance 50 as to drown thu
noise OF the picking. The news Of th'
+, escape spread rapidly over the cit!

WANTS TO sEs a HOTEL.
Citizen Thinks one Should be Erected
on st. Simon by Next Season.

on st. Simon by Next Season.
Editor News; No doubt many citi-
zens think it is useless to urge the
building Of hotel on ST. Simon.
r'Very year it seems there is some
movement on foot for at hotel, but
summer after summer rolls around
and the greatest and most popular sea
pert on the south Atlantic coast is
without a suitable place to accommo-
date the hundreds of visitors who
ccme to the island during the heated
sc ason.
Let's get to work this year and
ouild hotel in time to accommodate
the visitors next year. The season
nas just closed and, although there
has been no suitable pace for the
81 ests to stop, the season has been a
most successful one and hundreds OF
pc ople have visited the island.
Now is the time to start to work
lor a new MOTEL and hope,to see some
ell ergetic Brunswick man begin the
work A hotel can easily b. erected
with local capital, and, should a com
p; ny be organized, ! venture 70 say
! dividend Will be dec ared after the
dIst season.
Heretofore ST. Simon has uct had a
reilroad which would pun 1or it. The
southern and A. e. H., it is true, run
ar excursion here occasionally, Dut
Cotn these roads have several other
seaport cities on their line and very
little attention is given TO Brunswick
| and her summer resort.
There IL but one on the Atlantic ana
birmingham railroad and during .the
| season just closed that road brought
nore excursionists to Brunswick than
,fe otner two roads combined. every
81 nday two or three hundred people
- more came down on the cheap ex-
eursions, but they were compelled to
return the same day because there
vas no place on the island to accom-
4nodate them.
Certainly we are not gong TO lei
81 ch state OF affairs exist another
se ason.
| The people OF Georgia would rather
come to st. Simon tnan any other re
sort in the state. and 1t is certainiS
Ieplorable tnat there is no hotel OF
me island to accommodate them.
Let some brunswick man begin a
once the organiza tion Of STOCK com
pany. 1t ought to be an easy matte
% get up the necessary STOCK ant
when next summer rolls around w

&C Ccommodation Of the people.
Now is the time to begin work, an
hope some one wiii call on me 10

Race Between DR.. Spence and McDan-
aid Very Heated.
Waycross, Ca. Oct. 4-The recent
democratic primary does not seem to
have settled the question of the next
representative from Ware county by
any means. DR., j. M Spence, the in
clmbent, and who was renominated
a hte democratic primary is bitterly
opposed by J RI. McDona d as an in
dependent.
DR.. Spence is i'll at his home in
Waresboro, as a result OF the personal
encounter with Mr.. Mcdonald Septem.
Der %.
There is much doubt as to the result
o. the election Wednesday. The dem
ocratic executive committee has is
sued card urging the democratic vot
ers to support DIR. Spence, the nom
NEE. and a card of like nature has
been issued by Hon. John w. Bennett,
member of the state democratic
committee.
The local paper every DAY contains
articles from one side or the other
and every feature Of the present cam
paign shows the extreme bitterness
between the two candidates.

With John Robinson,s Show

With John Robinson's Show
Mephisto's great circling the loop
act with John Robinson's shows, dem
ohstrates the fact that the man who
works the longest does not get the
mont money. His actual work covers
twelve seconds a day. six seconds at
ea ch performance. For this work OF
twelve seconds he receives sixteen
dollars. The law of supply and de-
nsnnd is responsible for the exalted
figure for this one act.
Public interest is appeased by its
performance, and John Robinson pays
the bill The Riding the Loop is a
marvellous performance, daring in the
extreme. and nothing like it has ever
before been conceived and executed
Seated in an automobile on a little
perch at the dome of the arena this
d redevil performer shoots down
narrow incline at a terrific speed. The
s. eat momentum sends the auto up
into and around the garrel shaped
loop like a fash. and as he shoots
around the cylinder. his head hangign
downward, while the automobile obey
ing the law of centrifugal force, clings
to the surface. The reserve speed
c2Iries him into the arena from the
tangent of his curved course, where.
Dc wing and smiling the audience after
a short breath-Ronding spell, app auds
this intrepid and skilled artist to the
echo thrilled by the daring nerve of

Commissioners re4sigur-
ing on Future Work OF
the Prisoners
A GOOD SUGGfS nON MADE
convicts May Be Worked on Private
Lands, Provided Owners Pay Ex-
penses or Donate to County
Part of the Land.

The commissioners OF roads and rev
eAues Of Glynu county held their regu-
lar monthly meeting at the court
house yesterday at noon. Only one
or two routine matters were disposed
OF. such as confirming. minutes OF
last meeting. approving accounts. etc.
The convict question, however was
aaaln brought up and while nothing
definite was decided as to the use
ef convicts in future. several things
were suggested by the commissioners.
At present there is not enough work
II public in the countySseo keep the
conucts busy apd the commissioners
are figuring on some way in which
the county can derive some benefits
from the use of the convictS. Lately
the county gang has been at work on
the county roads and our coulty drive
ways are now said to be in excellent
condition The public road is no doubt
t. better condition today than they
have been IN years. All the bridges
have been repaired, the drains have
been cleared and the conyicts have
the roads in good order generally.
One suggestion made at the meeting
yesterday was the working Of the con
victs on private land in different sec
tions OF the county. II was suggested
that any land owner desiring to have
his property cleared or drained coulo
do SO by either paying the actual ex-
penses OF the convicts or donating TO
tte county a portion Of the land. For
Instance suppose one had 800 acres
Of land which he wanted developed.
It would be necessary for the conyicts
70 build canal and otherwise i'm
prove inc property. For this the own.
er can either pay the expenses of the
eonyicts or give to the county por-
tlon Of the land. In this way many
hundreds OF acres of land could be de-
Veloped with little or no expense to
the owners. the county would get a
portion OF the land and it would gen
elalIy improve the value OF property
now lying idle and utterly useless to
the owner.
This seems to be a very good solu'
ten Of the convict question in Glynn
otunty and it is more than likely that
l. will be adopted by the commission
ers. i.
AS is well known to News readers
the commissioners are now advertis
Ing for bids for the lease of the con
vics. and these bids Will be opened al
the next regular meeting OF the county
So ons. AS has been previously stated
the commissioners have not decided tc
lease the conyicts. but are advertising
for bids merely TO see what amount
can be secured per convict IRON private
concerns. The commissioners are no
i. position to state whether or no
tEey win be leased after the bids ar'
OF ened. but The News feels safe il
predicting that the body viii finally
accide not to lease the conyicts.
The suggestion made yesterda.
seems to be very good one 1t vii
not only help the land owners ant
tie county. but it will encourage tn
t;.rmsrs in many ways and will prov
beneficial to the county generally.
Some definite action as to the fu
tuFe use OF the eonyicts will probabl!
BE- taken at the meeting OF the com
ulssioners next month
