PROHIBITION DAY
NOW SET FOR
APRIL Is
w. c. T. U. REQUESTS ALL MIN
IsTERs TO PREACH ON THAI
DATE-LETTERS ARE SENT ALL
OVER THE STATE,

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union Of Georgia has sent out
an appeal to the ministers of the
state to preach on prohibition Sum
day, April %.
The appeal, which will be one Of
interest in Brunswick is signed by
Mrs Mary Harris Armo, of Ease
man president, and Mrs. W. II. Ed
wardy, corresponding secretary
and is as follows:
To the Ministers of Georgia. Dear
Brethren To each one whose ad
dress we have been able to obtain, we
have sent a personal appeal, but for
far that this will not reach all, we
come to you though the public prinrs
and ask that each one unite with the
many who have already agreed to
preach on Sunday, April 28, ooand
make it the greatest day for Semper-
ance ever seen in Georgia.
The church should lead ana it is
such struggle. The liquor traffic is
challenge to the church; 1t is dia-
metrtc ally opposed to the church in
motive, tendency and results. Jesus
Christ was manifested to destroy
the works Of he devil. and the
church which is not making relent-
less warfare on the liquor traffic is
untrue to her Lord
In unity there is strength. On
the 28th.- Of April let all Gods min
listers in Georgia be found with one
&C ord in one place" crying aloud
and sparing not, against the most
inhaus able. the most indefensible
and the most incompnrensible curse
that ever cursed a people since the
world was made-the liquor traffic.
Let Saturday the 9th. be day
Of prayer and a fasting when the
Christians Of Georgia shall humble
themselves before God for the sin OF
the people and shall pray nightly for
delverance and especially for the
power Of God on the pulpits Of Geor
gia the next day. II the people OF
God, led by the ministers, go into this
battle for God and home and Geor
gia on their knees, victory will Ger
tainly come. Col nelp you TO acl
promptly and bravely, with unfailinl
faith in the final victory"

BRUNSWICK STEAMSHIP co.

It has been learned that the first,
second and third officers Of the steam
ships of the brunswick Steamship

together with the same officers on

eatil[ MI WIN i
4. Ludlow of Winston Salem, N
C., Named by Mr., strachan, and
E. J. o'Rierne, of Atlanta.
Selected by City,

Aroitrators have been named by
both the city Of Brunswick; and F.
D. NJ. Stra,han to agree upon the
value of the water plant Of the Mu-
tual Light and Water Company
which is to be purchased by the
esy as soon as the value has been
placed upon 1t by the arbitrators
The city has named E. J. OBeirne
a water expert Of Atlanta. Mr..
0 Beirne was selected by the city
several months ago when council de-
cided to secure the valuation Of the
plant, but. as the Mutual did not
name their representative, no arbi-
tration was made at that time.
MIR. Strachan has selected J, L.
Ludlow, C. e. NJ. s.. of Winston
Salem, N. c. who is considered one
Of the best water experts in Che
country. He is q membersof the
American Society Of Civil Engineers,
of the New England Waterworks
Association and a number of other
such organizations. lie Is 49, the
consulting engineer who recently
put in The water system in Columbia
S c., represents the city Of CoIum-
bus, Ca, in her water contentious
and has been called upon in many
similar cases. Mr.. Strachan made
an effort to secure the very best
man possible as his arbitrator and it
seems that he has obtained one of
the best consulting engineers in the
country.
1t Is understood that these two
arbitrators will meet In Brunswick
sometime next week and will at
once begin the work Of securing the
value Of the water plant. Just how
long they will be engaged in thts
work is not known, but 1t will take
them some time as they will aave
70 90 over the entire water plant ot
the company.
If these two arbitrators. fail to
agree upon the value of the water
works, then they will elect an UNI
pire to settle the differences between
them, but as they are both water eX-
perts Of ability, it is generany
thought that they will have but lit
tie trouble in agreeing upon the val
ue
AS soon as the board of arbl
tration file their report with councn
as well as with Mr. Strachan, the
water plant will be turned over to
the city, as provided in the contract
between council and Mr.. Strachan.
Under he terms Of the contract the
arbitratprs must render a repn'
within sixty days
