That ocean waves run mountain

was very credulOus indeed. The phrase
is a highly exaggerated figure OF
speech. But the observations of keep
erS of lighthouses in exposed Situa'
tiOnS have proved that waves run higl
enough in great storms to make very
respectable hills. Some years ago the
steamer that carried supplies TO the
lighthouse on Tillamook rock, on the
coast Of Oregon, was able to make &
landing and establish commercial COM
munication with the light keepers af-
ter series of storms only by siren

six weeks.
The waves of the Pacific had torn
away the wharfs and other cOnstruc-

in a uuandary as to where to start or

THE REToRT FINlL-The garrulous
old lady in the stern of the boat had
pestered the guide with her comments
and questions ever since they had
started. Her meek little husband. who
was hunched toad-like in the bow,
fshed in silence. The old lady had
seemingly exhausted every possible
point in fish and animal life, woodcraff
and personal history when she sudden
" espied one of those curious paths
of oily, unbroken water frequently seen
on small lakes which are ruffled by a
light breeze.
"Oh, guide, guide" she exclaimed
what makes that funny streak in the
water No, there-right over there!'
The guide was busy rebating the old
gentleman's hook and merely mumbled
"U-m-mm."
Guide" repeated the old lady in
tones that were not to be denied, look
right over there where I'm pointing and
tell me what makes that funny streak
in the water"
The guide looked up from his batting
with a sigh. "That?" Oh, that's when

JUST WAITING.-At a dinner given
by prominent railway magnate there
was among the guests man who.
during the course of his remarks con-
cerning peers who had taken up use
full work. told an amusing story of
the late Lord ROose, himself a prac-
teal engineer.
1t appears that ROsse, unknown to
the employees once entered the engine
room of a large mandatory, where
his odd behavior attracted the en-
gineer's attention.
Whats up now?" he growled at
the peer. why are you shaking you
head in that way and looking at your
watch every second? Anything to
find fault WITH"
"Oh," replied Lord Rosse, its all
the same to me. I've no fault to find.
I'm just waiting till the boiler ex-
plodes."
The boiler explodes? Why, you
are a crazy man." exclaimed the en-
gineer. angrily, preparing to turn his
lordship out as a dangerous crank.
Well" retorted the earl 'if you
work ten minutes longer with that
loose screw the boiler will certainly
explode"
The engineer glanced in the direc-
ton indicated by Lord Rose, paled
and jumped to stop the engine.
why didn't you say so sooner
he asked.

The Tillamook light had on previous

by waves. The same thing happened
to the Eddystone light, off the coast Of
England, and to the light at Fleaux-de

of which are about $50 feet in height.

OUR PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Glynn county is moving right along
with the procession in the matter of
public buildings. She has just erect
ed one of the handsomest county court
houses in the state of Georgia and
yesterday and today her board of
commissioners are receiving bids
from contractors from all over the
country fer the building of a new and
up-to- date Jail 1t is the plan of the
board, as 1t has always been, to give
the people of the country a modern
home for her unfortunates. in which
the best conveniences will be used.
The work on this building is going to
be pushed ahead as rapidly as is con-
sistent with good results and the COM
mission hopes to be able to retire the
old structure In at least ninety days.
Then again, the board Of education of
Glynn county is working ahead with
plans for a new high school building
and as soon as possible the advertise
ments for bids for it's construction
will be published. The News under
stands that the board has the funds
on hand for this specific purpose and
when once under way, the building
wiz be pushed rapidly to completion.
While on this subject Of public
buildings. it occurs to The News that
there are few cities and communities
in the country the size OF Brunswick
that can show up such a splendid list

THE COMMITTEE ACTED WISELY

The News congratulates the city eX-
ecutive committee On it's very clear rul-
ing yesterday on the question of nomi-
mating the candidates fer alderm n
from the new wards just created by
special act of the legislature In all
of the cities Of the south, 1t is under
stood, that each ward is charged with
the responsibility of naming its own
representatives in council, and that is
just what the committee has conclud-
ed to do here in Brunswick. The
principle Is not only sound, but 1t is
intensely democratic and applies the
broad privilege of home rule, right
down to the home of the citizen and
the taxpayer. Had all of the wards
of the city been permitted to join in
each others fights for nominations,
the very reason for wanting wards at
all would have lost itself and the
old plan would practically still been
in force and effect This primary
be it remembered, is a white one and
the nominees together with the
mayor naturally become the nominees
of the entire party in the general
election in December, when we vote
for all FIVE candidates, thus protect
ing the candidate or the nominee,
with republican tendencies. by rea-
son of heavy negro electorate in
that section Thus it will be seen
that the effect OF the new law was
carefully considered before the bill
was passed.

Why ANY DISCRIMINATION Al
ALL7

Mr.. H. f. Kohlsaat, Of Chicago, be-
ing persuaded that the vice presidency
should be given to southern man.
has undertaken to enlist the services
Of Mr.. Roosevelt in bringing about a
condition that VIII insure the filing
OF the second Office in the nation from
this section Of The country. Mr.. Kohl
saat has evidently accepted Mr. Roose-
welt as the arbiter Of our political des-
TIMES. and probably hopes for the is
nance Of a decree by him to all the
political parties requiring the nomina-
ton Of a southern man to the second
place On their TICKETS. Mr.. Roosevelt
was 50 successful in his undertaking
to nominate a republican ticket this
year that it is not unnatural for some
people TO think he might name the
democratic candidates also, if he felt
so disposed. why should not Mr..
Kohlsaat, however have M. Roose-
welt change the constitution Of the
United States so That It should pre-
scribe definitely that hereafter only
southern men should be eligible TO
the vice presidency and that north
ern men alone should have the pres
tdency? That would be the simplest
way Of clinching the thing and estab-
fishing a truly sectional government.
or course the vice president, in those
conditions, would not b. eligible to
succession to the presidency in case
Of death, resignation or disability of
the president. Mr.. Kohlstaat is pre-
pared to concede no mere han the .
vice presidency TO The south, but the /
south wants no such concession. When /
the south is accepted in fun fellow /.
ship, as it ought to be, a man from
this section viii be eligible to the I
presidency, and until that time comes
there Is nothing to be gained by try
ing TO stimulate good feeling with an
arbitrary assignment Of a secondary !
place to any particular section.
