WE NEED MORE MILITARY.

Brunswick is not properly repre-
scented in the state military estab
lishment We venture the assertion
that there is not city in the state,
with the commercial Importance, the
population and other essentials. as
poorly represented from a military
point of view as is the city OF Burns
wick.
Now, we do not desire to be mis-.
understood we have one good, re.
liable and thorough military com.
pany. 1t has always answered the
demands made upon It, II is splen.
didly onicered and well disciplined,
and so far as it goes, is as good an
organization as there is in the state
But that is not the question We
need another military command,
maybe two OF them few years
ago Brunswick was the Headquarters
OF the state naval organization and
we had two active divisions Of that
branch Of the state militia in this
city. together with the present In
fantry command. For some reason
the two divisions went to pieces and
the headquarters went to Savannah.
We believe there is good local
military spirit in this city and
we are going to urge It to get into
action. Let's either reorganise the
naval reserves, the old cavalry COM
pany, or form another infantry COM
mand. The material is here and all
IL needs is a little work and enthusi'
asm to accomplishNesults.

SOME NEEDED CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS.

If there ever was a time 10 the
bistof Of the ate Of Georgia when
Ia Constitutional convention shoui
Localized, now is the time.
ITHA present constitution was made
at a line when the state Of Georgia
was struggling for It's existence. The
commonwealth had not fully recov-
cred fYem the ravishes Of the civil
/ war, and those who framed that in
strument did 80 under trying circum
stances and acted with all Of the
light that at thai tlnls Tas possible
| to secure. a-
Conditions have changed zee
those days. The south has cauNt
the inspiration that It's forefatheIN
breathed years and years ago. and
today it is giving the country a les
son in industrial progress. In enter
prise, and in energy that is winning
the admiration of the entire world
Now then. under hese new condi1
tons. we must ne broader and
more enlarged rigR under the con
stituaon. we must NAVE the author
Hy 10 do as VIZ please with our own
and. 10 contract as we please. when
we eare solely responsible for the
debts so contracted.
The law that limits the risht OF al
municipality to bond itself to withim
six pr seven per cent of its tax digest
is wrong in spirit and IN purpose
The state does not carry the burdens
OF It's municiit lities and shogrd not
attempt to reg ilate It's right to pro
dncA bvenueRon its taxable values
1ikewhe itAwrong in intent and IN
deed Tor th@ state TO regulate the
tenure Of coRtracts to be entered
Into on the brit of municipalities.
The same ru that ought to apply
to the one lould be applicable to
the other Imposition, and the time
is at han9 when the growing cities
in Geesgia when the advancing in
1sts in bal sections; when the
con mon peof who have their own
row to hoe, Should come together
and demand a reform Of these. con
ditbns, and that reform can 80
come through the avenue of CON
stitutional convention
It's up to the people Of Georgia to
act in this matter.

ABOUT THAT HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING.

The fact that the county commits
sioners are not now in position to
appropriate money for the erection of
new high school building in the
city ought not to be argued to the
effect that the board is opposed to
liberal treatment of the question of
public education In the community.
AS a matter of fact the members Of
the commission believe, and believe
strongly, in assisting the board of
education to its utmost in all matters
that effect the educational eondi-
lions in the city and in the county.
But there Is another and very
serious side of the question. The
funds of the county, just at this
time. are not very plentiful A new
court house is in course of construc-
tion and must be paid for-contracts
being out for the completion of the
building. Then again, the proposed
bond issue has been called for spe-
cifio purposes as the law demands
and these purposes are defined as
new court house and new Jail
Therefore. it is simply impossible
for the commissioners, at this par
ticular time, to come to the aid of
the move for the new high school
building. But we believe as we
stated previously, that the county
commissioners are not inclined to
turn a deaf ear to the proposition.
and our suggestion to the local board
of education is to postpone their
plans for a short time and then
come to the commissioners, when
more binding obligations have been
met, and we are quite assured that
the appropriation will be made and
viii be made cheerfully.

pretty piece Of literary dovetang as you ever
saw. But we did need the Prettiest badly, for she
certainly keen on feminine psychology, and
everything about women was passed up to her
frou how to cook oatmeal to fashionable weddings.
As q woman she did excel. She was all the women
you ever met, rolled into one. We put her into
every story we ever wrote. She was like model
in studio.
Adoniram used to call out, ooh, Clara please
come r here minute want to describe how
girls hand looks as 1t rests on a mans shouder"
And before he had finished Git always took sus-
piciously long time), McComus would butt in, to
say;
Say Clara, suppose man you'd never
seen but twice. and as left you at your door /
tried to Hiss YOU. Just show me how you'd act will
you? This is the way he is sllppoed to do it!'
OF course needed her, too, and whenever had
good fast love scene to do insisted upon her
help Besides, had to probe her soul for the
irefable as regards the dialect current in type
writing circles.
We had long ago recognized the folly Of inter-
fering with each other for we always had good,
legitimate excuses on hand and finally settled
into sort Of armed neutrality. and it was tacty
agreed that we were three rivals and the best man
was to win. Not that the Prettiest was consulted

we could work undisurbed, and one common room
where'we could discuss plots and style and criti-
else each Others work. Artists do the same thing
and profit by the fellowship. 1t worked pretty
well, and we got lot of stimulation and encourage
ment out Of each other.
AT first, each for himself. but Adoniram
wasn't satisfied with that found it hard to
pay the rent after the second month, and so, under
started the Syndicate. We had had a good bunch
of reflections that week, and radical change
seemed Necessary.

the editors is what counts, nowadays, and we

but none of us seemed to answer. We'd had
personal experience with editors, and had
failed to sphere of influence. Somehow

There only answer to that question.

Clara from the s. s. S. There'l be printed
form accompanying my best piece of work. I'm
sorry boys, but | can't hold out hopes to you
You're stung."
We had a pretty sad old time that week in the
factory, and we watched the mails as used to in
the old days before we had an agent 1t didn't
seem like the old place without the Prettiest at
her roll-top desk. sucking blue pencil and smll-
ing at each one in turn.
The first mail on Monday brought us three let
tiers, all addressed by typewriter Inside they
all three alike:
Miss Foster regrets to say that the proposal
you have been kind to offer, is not present
available. Her needs are limited to special inter.
ests with which she is now well supplied, so that
a declination does not necessarily imply any fault
or lack Of excellence the part Of the offer SUBJ
mitted. Thanking you for favorng her with the
same she desires to announce that she is about K
assume the management Of the Editor of the Pub
lie Magazine"
That why she had been going to New York
three times a week. That why f. Mari had
succeeded well with the Public. That was
where she bad got her ideas on criticism and her
technical hints. We wrote round robin to the
editor upon his engagement, voted thanks to our
ex-manager and then the factory shut down. Col
laboration without the friendly Offices of the Pretti-
est Girl in Railway would have been absurd. The
Company disbanded and shared the treasury.
Clara Foster appeared next day in a new hat--a
wonder she not only the Prettest Girl in
Railway, but the Prettiest Girl on the Atlantic
Seaboard, the Prettiest the Continent--in the
World She greeted us warmly, but there was
shade of anxiety in her demeanor. After few
words and splie apiece she sat down at her old
place by the roll-top desk.
"You know I've done all could for the s. S. s..
don't you, boys she asked.
We agreed, and she ventured to smile again.
I've sold your stuff and raised the prices and
delivered The money, haven't I? You've never done
50 well before and you've made lots of money
haven't you?'
We nodded sadly. Not Of US but would
have rather had Clara than fame wealth

We made 1t unanimous. Adoniram got away
with twenty-four dollars and disappeared. Three
days later he appeared at the headquarters of the
y : 5, With the Prettest, paid for a fortnight in
advance.
The Prettiest knew something about business
methods from her experience in the spool-fac
and this wisdom she combined with the use of
her blue eyes in proportions that made the ordinary
man throw up his hands and empty his pockets
She was very patient when gave her her in
structions as to how to approach the throne rooms
but It was evident that she intended the thing
through N her own sweet way
We loaded her up with fresh, new-laid MSS, as
she declined to carry any shop-worn stock. That
put us behind about a week, but In the meantime
