The Brunswick daily news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1903-1906, 1906-08-12
Has a Series Of Questions
He Would Like to Have
Answered
NO HELP TO BRUNSWICK
On the Other Hand He Thinks it Will
Be Against the Interests of This
City for Estill to be Elected
Governor.

Mr.. Editor: AS supporter of
that great Georgian who is making L
fight for the people of Georgia against
the combined forces of the powers
that be, all arayed against him,
would like to ask the voters of Glynn
county a few questions:
First Why should Glynn county
go for j. H. Estill for governor as
against HOke Smith?
Second Why should our congress
man. W. G. Brantley, be so ardent
in his support for the Savannah man"
If the reply is that Mr. Estill is Il
south Georgian and it is his time.
then why is it that Mr.. Brantley
and the others going on this idea,
for that honored Brunswickian and
south Georgian, Spencer r. Atkinson
when he was a candidate for cover
nor? If Mr.. Brantley supported Mr.
Atkinson and voted for him why was
it that he did not then take the stump
in his congressional district for M
Atkinson. If it was not necessary
then to stump the district for south
Georgia and Brunswick man at that
why is it necessary now to stump the
district in behalf of the Savannah
man?
Third. While Mr. Brantley has done
a great deal for Brunswick and for
which he deserves due credit, has he
done any more than his duty required
him to do or that he should have
done?
Fourth. While Mr.. Brantley has
gotten from the federal government
appropriations for the Brunswick post
Office and other appropriations run,
ming into the thousands of dollars is
it not true that the Savannah con-
gressma~ 's-~ gotten for Savannah ap-
propria,.Jna Jnning into the millions
OF dollars The question is, has not
Savannah always taken the cream and
left Brunswick the skinned milk?
IL.
Office cost about one hundred and
twenty-five Thousand doll1 d:d nat
Savannahs co.;S a i'i,.;.': and half?
II, however, we are only a village se1-
port, and deserve no better, is it not
true that Savannah has never tried to
help us get out of our rustic ways
and village progress
Sixth Getting down to local inter-
est: Has not Savannah always given
1t to Brunswick in the neck? Has not
the said John H. E6till referred to
Brunswick as "Savannahs back yard?
Seventh The bill now pending be
fore the Georgia legislature to ex-
tend the state road, and it is prob
able that the measure will be enacted
into law, and Mr.. Estill in the gov
ernor's chair, do you think Mr.. Voter,
that Brunswick and Glynn county
would have any more show Of it COM
ing here than the proverbal snow
ball in the place where they do say
is hotter than these August days
Eighth. Do you, Mr. Editor, think for
one moment that Mr.. Brantley with
his influence and pull with the said
John II. Estill, could bring the SAID
road to Brunswick as against Savan'
nah?
Ninth. Now to be frank. If these
questions are answered, as the under
signed thinks they must be, then why
should the people of Glynn county sup
port Estill, the Savannah man, as
against Hoke Smith?
Tenth. The evening paper attempts
to magnify Mr.. Brantley and minim
ize Mr.. Berner; prints Mr.. Brantley9
picture and gives him two columns
and a half and the mention of Mr.
Berner a quarter of a column and an
nounces that Mr.. Brantley Is to speak
Tuesday night at the opera house
quotes Mr.. Ogg's resolution passe
by the board of trade for Mr.. Brantle'
now the question is what has Mr.
Ogg or the board of trades resolu
ton commencing Mr.. Brantley got u
do with the issues Of the campa1gt
for governor or what bearing has tn
