TO BEGIN WORK
ON THE CUTOFF
FRESH WATER BOATS WILL NOT
HAVE TO PASS THROUGH

Work is soon to begin on the cutoff
through Plantation and Club creeks,
which will be of great advantage to
fresh water boats and other craft.
as it not only cuts off a distance of
several miles. but when it is compile
ted the fresh water boats can get to
the city without crossing st. Simon

The Savannah News CT Sunday con
tanned the following about the plans
being made to begin this work.
Through his assistants at Bruins
wick Col. Dan G.. Kingman is endeav-
oring to secure clear titles to the
necessary land through which the
channel known as the Plantation and
Club creek project will pass.
This project calls for the cutting
through of stretch of marsh near
Brunswick, The city cf Brunswick
readily gave a clear title to the war
department for the part of the land
owned by the city, but there is a
stretch that is owned by private part
les.
"The consent of several of these
was secured through their attorneys.
Not being entirely satisfied, Colonel
Kingman submitted the matter to the
department of justice at Washington
and was notified by that department
that the permission granted was not
definite enough or clear enough title
to be accepted by the government

the matter up again with the Bruins.

secure clear titles or a definite con-

The channel work Is very much de-
sired by Brunswick people as it
shortens the inside route to that city
and besides gives the river steamers
from up the state smoother route
than that through Sapelo sound Col
onel Kingman has the necessary funds
on hand to carry out the project as
soon as he has secured right-of way

NEW YORK, Aug. 24-New York
autoists, not content with a speed
record of two miles a minute on land,
are now out for cne of a mile a min
ute on water. In this ambition is
found the very latest millionaire fad
for expensive speed, for while 1t is
true that the speed attainable on land
is more than twice that which has
been accomplished on wafer, New
Workers are likely to take to the lat
ter both because it is more costly
and on account of the greater chance
of making name as aquatic speed
kings.
The recent races between American
and English motor boats, in which the
former achieved another victory over
Great Britain with a worlds record
for a 40-foot beat or more than 35
miles an hour, has given added impe
tus to motor boat racing here. AL

may be found a reason for Americas s
recent triumphs over England in this
class Of sport in keeping with the vic
tories over Sir Thomas Upton in his
contest for Americas cup.
While everything in this country, so
far as motor boats are concerned, has
to do with speed, the tendency in
Europe, according to Henry G. Row
land, himself a pioneer motor boatist,
who is contributing to Appleton's mag

DOG ORDINANCE
TO Re ENFORCED.
OaDERS ISSUED
THOSE CAUGHT ON STREETS
AFTER TOMORROW NOT MUz-
ZLED WILL BE KILLED.
Another Mad Dog Yesterday Caused
Council to Hold Special Meet
ing and Decide to Enforce
the Ordinance.

The dog ordinance, passed by coun-
Gil two weeks ago, but which has
never been enforced, will, beginning
tomorrow morning, be enforced to the
letter and all dogs caught running at
large, not securely muzzled, will be
shot on sight.
This action was taken by council at
a special meeting held yesterday af-
ternoon, brought on by the fact that
another supposed mad dog had been
killed out on Union street. AS soon
as Mayor Hopkins learned of the kill
ing of the dog he called special
meeting of council, with the result
that the chief of police was instructed
to carry out the law
The proceedings of the special ses
sion of council and the orders of
Chief Burney follows:
COUNCIL MINUTES (OFFICIAL).
Called Meeting.
BRUNSWICK, Ca, Aug. "a, 1908.
Present: Hon. r. R. Hopkins,
mayer; Aldermen Cox, McGarvey,
Mann, Robinson and Taylor
Absent: Aldermen Ludwig, Calnan
and Dart
Mayor Hopkins stated that he had
called the meeting for the purpose of
taking formal action to direct the
chief of police to proceed with the en-
forcement of the ordinance requiring
dogs running at large to be securely
muzzled: enforcement of said ordi-
nance having been withheld by in
formal acton of council until rea-
sonable time had elapsed for owners
of dogs to secure muZzles. The fol-
lowing was adopted
BY ALDERMAN MANN: Whereas,
the ordinance passed August 18th,
1908. to establish quarantine against
dogs, ETC., which provided that all
dogs running at large upon the streets
without being securely muzzled should
be killed by such persons as might
be designated by the mayor or the
chief of police, was temporarily with
held from enforcement for a reason
able time for the owners of dogs to
procure muzzles.
Now, therefore be it resolved, That
the said ordinance be strictly en-
forced, and that the chief of police
be, and he is hereby directed, to see
that all the provisions in said ordi-
nance are carried out. ADJOURNED.

Clerk Of Council

BRIDGE DYNAMlTED
BY UNION STRIKERS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 24.-Mea-
gre information has reached Birming-
ham of the dynamiting. of a bridge on
the spur of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad between Morris and In
dio. mines in the northern part of the
county. A short message to the
sheriff states that the telephone and
telegraph wires have been cut and
it is impossible to get any further in
formation as to the extent of the trou-
BILE. 1t is thought to be the outcome
of the ejectment of the striking min
ers from the company's houses last
week. The miners were moved into
tents near the property of the COM
pany and two or three nights ago a
stick of dynamite was exploded near
the line dividing the strikers from
the non union.
A large party of striking miners
numbering about 800 assembled at
Wylam this morning and decided to
march to No. s mine to make dem
onstration, but they were dispersed by
deputies and soldiers, before causing
any trouble. Reports received from
other parts of the district today are
to the effect that quiet Sunday was
passed. IL xl

WILL SOON FIX
TAX RATE FOR
PRESENT YEAR
STATE RATE REMAINS SAME AS
LAST YEAR, FIVE DOLLARS

Commissioners Will Likely Fix the
County Rate at Their Meeting
Next Month-Wi.I Probably
Remain as al Present.

Now that the state tax rate has been
meeting of the commissioners of roads
and revenues the tax rate of Glynn
county will also be fixed and the tax
payers will then begin to call on Tax
Collector Read for the purpose of
settling for their taxes.
The rate for the state was fixed
by Governor Smith and Comptroller
Wright Saturday and will remain the
same as it was last year-five mills,
Sor $500 for each 1000 worth of prop
Rerty for all state purposes for the
syear 1908 Many people expected the
state rate to be slightly increased, but
it was found that this would not be
necessary.
At the meeting of the commission
ers in September, to be held on the
first Tuesday in that month, it is ex-
pected that the county rate will be
fixedA The present rate in Glynn coun-
ty is $3.50 on the $1,000, and it is
not expected that any change will be
made In the face of recent conditions
it will not be possible for the com
missioners to reduce the rate and it
is not expected that they will decide
to increase it. This will make a total
of $3.50 on the $1,000 that the tax
payers of Glynn county will have to
pay when they go up 70 settle their
taxes for the year.
All of the taxes for the year 1908

SHOOTING QUAIL THIS EARLY.
Many Have Already Been Killed in the
Country.

Many Have Already Been Killed in the
Country.
The quail season does not open in
Georgia until November 1, but already
the birds are being shot in the county
and a number, hardly large enough
to fly, has been shot by people who
have no regard whatever for the game
laws of the state.
In the vicinity of the Taylor-Cooks
mills, it is understood, shooting goes
on almost every day, and it is known
that several large coyies in that sec
Ition have already been reduced to
one or two birds.
There is no way OF catching these
violators, as the county has no reg
|ularly appointed game warden, but
the sportsmen should get together and
do something to put stop to this un.
lawful shooting Of the birds.
Every year the same condition Of af.
prevails, but the vioiators have moth
ling to fear and go right ahead kill.

months before the season opens.
