WAYNESVILLE
FOR COUNTY SEAT
Committee Soon to Be APP
pointed to Take Matter
in Charge
PART OF GLYNN is WANTED
With Western Portion Of This County
Part Of Wayne, Camden and charl-
ton, Citizens Want New
County Organized.

With Waynesville as the county
seat. and taking a portion of the
counties of Glynn. Wayne, Camden
Charlton and probably Pierce, the peo-
pie in the southern portion Of Wayne
county are anxious for new county
END active steps have already been
made to secure one at the next ses-
sion of the Georgia. legislatue.
The people of Waynesyille are the
prime movers in the matter and they
ara receiving the sIS@&eL of the cit
izens Of AtkinSon. and other places
in Wayne county.
II is understood that an active can
vass has already commenced for the
formation of the new county, and with
N the next few weeks a committee
IF prominent citizens of Waynesville|
and other nearby places will be ap-
pointed to take the matter in charge
and they will keep up the fight until
the question is finally decided at the
next session of the legislature.
To form this new county the peo-
BE favoring L will want the extreme
southern portion Of Wayne. the west
ern part of Glynn for about three
miles, nice strip Of Camden, taking
II probably as far down as Waverly
and the northeastern portion of Charl-
ton. very small strip OF Pierce may
aiso be needed, but it is not probable
that that county will be disturbed.
AS far as Glynn IS concerned, while
size would probably like to see the
rev county formed, still, owing to the
fact snat we now nave sucn a small
county, fight would probably be
iuade against giving up the western
portion OF the county.
The people at the head of the move
n.ent VII ask for this county north
CT the Seaboard Air Line, taking in
Everett City, BIaden, Thallman, and
a few other small precincts. At pres
enl Glynn county extends exactly
three mhes north OF Bladen, or the
seaboard al! the way from Everett
t. the Camden line. This OF course.
would be almost necessary in the for
nation OF the new county. With the
other portions OF different counties
mentioned new county could be very
easily formed, and the four counties
touched would not be very badly torn
up.
The only opposition the people Oh
waynesyilIe have for the county seat
ia case the new county is formed Will
come from the people Of Atkinson, on
ly a few miles from Waynesvilie.
Al present The people OF Wayne, re
siding along The Atlantic Coast Line
from Lulaton to Waynesville are at
eleat disadvantage. Jesup IS the
county seat and in order o get TO
that place it is necessary ior the peo-
pIo TO either come to Brunswick or
NJ aycross, await the departure Oh an
other train over the old ;. f. & W.
often it takes nearly the entire day
10 get to the county seat.
Ii this new county is formed it VIII

place it viii be another for the Eley-
enth congressional district, Will adu
