coL. C. P. GOODYEAR RETURNS
FEoM ATLANTA AND WRITES
OF THE sITUATIoN-5ILL's AD-
VocATES WELL PLEASED.

Editor News-If the sentiment In
the house of representatives of Geor-
gla fairly reflects the sentiment of the
people of Georgia as may fairly be
inferred, it being the popular branch
OF the general assembly, extension is
sure to become the settled policy of
the state, n- .A.nI
Ihe tn mat - cb,ained as we
feel sure from reliable sources, was
that ITO members of the house were
- .L..- 50 -.I eAtena.Cn, With a WI
siderable number in doubt. the active
opposition in a comparatively small
minority.
In the senate where the hsatter has
not been fully discussed, the matter
was in doubt. The wfsd6fl of the
compromise passed, the creation of a
commission of nine able commission
ers. to investigate all questions bear
ing upon the subject and report it's
conclusions with the evidence upon
which they are founded to the general
assembly Of 1909 commends itself to
all friends 6f extension, to all honest
doubters as a statesmanlike way of
approaching decision of policy of
vital interest to the people.
1t gives assurance of a hearing to
all interests to be affected. To lines
of railroad already existing from At
lanta to the sea. To ports which can
claim consideration as terminals. To
different routes. To every question
raised by this proposition for exten-
sion.
| Owning the important railroad prop
erty already existing, the best paying
railroad in Georgia, it is the part of
wisdom to have all the light which
i such commission with ample time
for Investigation can give.
All the evidence as to experience of
Iother states which own lines OF. trans
portation either by-rail or water
Brunswick should, it seems to me,
be gratifled with this legislation which
gives her ample assurance of full
and fair hearing of the undoubted ad
vantages she has as the seaport term
mus of such an extension.

SETTLE THE
MATTER
EXPERT ACCOUNTANTS HERE ro
AGAIN EXAMINE M. l.. G. w.
CO.'S BOOKS.
They Were Called Sack to the Civ to
Settle Dispute Between the
City and the Company Con-
cerning Their Report.

, II. G. Nash and r. Il. Marsh, the ex.
pert accountants who recently exam
lned the books of the Mutual Light
and Water Company, arrived in the
city yesterday, having been called
back by city council to settle a dis
pute over their report which was filed
with the city some time ago.
These two accountants made thcr
ough examination of the books of tha
company when they were in the city
before, and submitted lengthy re-
port 10 council Cn the status of the
affairs of the light and water com
pany.
Inc report was taken up last week.
but the company and the city differed
on one or two portions of the raoort,
and 1t was necessary to again call the
accountants to the city. They begun
the second examination yesterday 1t
is understood that it will take the ac-
countants only short time to go over
that portion of the report that the OBJ
lection was raised and they may dom-
rlete the work today
According to an agreement between
the city and the Mutual Light and
Water company, the new rates will be
effective beginning July 1. 1t is expec-
| ted that the matter will be definitely
settled at the next meeting of coun-
Gil and as 1t was necessary to recall
the accountants the light and water
company agreed to let the new rates
go into effect on the first of this
month.
AS has been previously stated in
The News it is hard to predict ex-
actly what change will be made in
the rates. However, 1t is pretty wei
understood that there will be some
reduction. 1t has been rumored that
there would be a general reduction of
approximately 10 per cent. but moth

Gil finally passes the new rate ordi.

D. &C. PEOPLE
LIKED OUR
PORT
OFFICIALS TOOK I'M THE CITY
SUNDAY AND WERE GREAT
LY IMPRESSED.
Vice President Powell Spoke Highly
of Brunswick AS a Port, and
Was Much Interested in
Bee Line Terminals.

| The party Of Queen and Crescent
route officials, who arrived in the city
Saturday night, spent a very busy
three hours Sunday morning looking
over Brunswick.
Shortly after o'clock a party of To-
cal railroad officials called at the pri-
Nate car and later the visitors were
given an automobile ride over the city
by them A trip was made along the
river front and the party then visited
the A., B. & A. terminasl at the south
lend. Considerable time was spent at
the terminals and the visiting railroad
officials were greatly interested in
the great piece of work which has
been accomplished by the Bee Line.
Vice President Powell, of the @. & c..
who headed the party was simply car
fied away with the magnificent term
inals that the A., B. e A has lin Bruins
wick, He said that he had Heard much
of the river front property Of the road
but he had no idea that they were as
large and as well constructed. Mr..
Powell examined the terminals thor
oughly and before leaving the city he
pronounced them as good as those of
any railroad in the south.
Mr. Powell and the other members
OF the party were also very much i'm
pressed with Brunswick and her
splendid river front. and they did not
hesitate in stating that the port facil-
tiles were the best that they had ever
seen AS matter of fact, every mem
Der Of the party had a good word to
say for Brunswick and her excellent
harbor, and they predicted that it
would be only matter of time before
this port would be the largest on the
south Atlantic coast.
There were a number of rumors
atloat concerning the visit Of these
high officials. One of them was to-
the effect that the Southern railway
had decided to erect large terminals
on its property just south of the Bee
Line terminals and that the officials
were here for the purpose of inspect
ing the Bee Line wharves and to look
over the property of the Southern.
The officials, however, stated that
Brunswick was merely included as
one of the cities to be visite1 on their
trip through the south, and that there
was nothing connected with their Wis
/ 1t. The party left at 1910 Sunday
morning over the A., b. & A. for Sa-
vannah and Columbia.

ganizations gave a parade and under
went an inspection in front OF the
Oglethcrpe. During the inspection an
incident not on the program occurred,
but 1t proved to be a very pleasant
little affair. Capt Douglas, of The
Riflemen, on behalf of the company,
presented Major F. A. Dunn with a
handsome sword as a token of the
high esteem in which he is held by
the members of the company. The
sword was a handsome one with the
majors monogram on it and he ap-
preciated the gift to the fullest ex-
tent.
The Riflemen are anticipating de.

special message to congress urging
upon it's attention certain matters OF

arately but some times in groups. con-
cerning the prospect of securing legis-

expected to be the presentation, with
in a few days, by Representative Hep

ering the subject The president has
no present intention of transmitting a

BURNS-ROCHE FIGHT
Strong Feeling in Dublin That irish :
man Will Be Able to Wrest Heavy
weight Championship Of World Hon
ors From American.

Dublin. March 1.-THE fight today
between '"Tommy" Burns and Jem
Roche for the heavyweight champion :
ship of the world. practically over
shadows all other st. Patrick's day
celebrations in Dublin and has brought
into the city a great crowd of sporting
men. The intense interest arises main
ly from the fact that this is the first
time in many years that an Irishman
has fought in his own country for the
championship. There is deep-seated
feeling that Roche will be able to
wrench the honors from his American
opponent. Burns supporters are offer
ing odds of 5 to l. Bucns will enter
the ring at about 16S pounds and
Roche will be few pounds heavier.
Otherwise there is little difference be-
tween the two men. Burns advantage
in reach amounts to only one inch,
While Roche's chest and leg measure
ments are slightly in excess of those
of Burns.
