BRUNSWICK TO
GIVE INVITATION
To GRAND LODGE
nNiGHTS OF pYTHiAs TO Be- IN
ViTE0 ID MEET HERE
NEXT MONTH.


The Brunswick Knights OF Pytbias,
WHO are to atteud he meeting OF tbs
Grand Lodge in Columbus next week,
are going armed with an invitation
from Oglethorpe and Rathboae iodge s
Of this city to .he Grand Lodge 10
hold their 1910 convention in Buns-
wick. and, while il is hard to tell
what the result viii lie, it is the gem
eral belief that the invitation will be
extended and that brunswick Will next
year entertain one OF the largest con
yentions ever held in the state, as
there is always a big attendance at
the conventions OF the Grand Lodge.
A meeting of Oglethorpe lodge was
held last night and this matter came
up for action II was pointed out
that it would take at least 81 900 to
entertain the Grand Lodge as it should
be entertained. This if borne entire
ly by the two local lodges, would
drain their treasures, but it developed
that the business men of Brunswick
were ready and willing to go in and
share a portion of the expense, and,
with this information it was decided
to extend the invitation and the local
delegates will work to land the meet
ing.
1t has been eight years since the
grand lodge met in Brunswick. 1t
was then probably the largest conven-
ton ever held in the city, but now at
least double the number of people at
tend the conventions Columbus is
preparing to entertain between 600
and 800 at the convention next week.
A Fight On
But Brunswick will not secure the
1910 meeting without fight. Fitz-
gerald, it Is understood, will also
extend an invitation, as will probably
Waycross and other cities, and the
little contest for the next meeting
place will no doubt be quite lively,
but il is believed Brunswick, consid-
cred by many to be the most desir-
able convention city in the state,
will succeed in landing the conyen-
tion.
The Brunswick delegation. including
representatives from the two lodges
and the uniform rank, will leave the
city for Columbus over the Atlantic
Coast Line Monday afternoon at 4.05
O'Clock

The Brunswick Bar association held
a meeting at the court house yester-
day afternoon for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposed change Of 7he
Brunswick judicial circuit at the an
preaching session of the Legislature.
A division of the circuit as is welI
known, has been advocated for some
time and bill was introduced at the
last session Of the Legislature. but
never came up for action However.
1t Is expected that the bill will be
introduced and passed at the coming
session and the division will be made.
large numbe.' of the local attor-
neys were present yesterday. and it
was decided TO appoint a COMMITTEES
to arrange meeting Ct all bar asso-
Citations in the Brunswick circuit. to
be held in this city during the SEES
sion of the superior court this month.
AT this meeting it is expected that
each county viii Le repre- sented. and
a general discussion as to the divis-
ion will be discussed The date of
the meeting viii be announced later
PROPOSED DIVISION.
The circuit, as is well known. is
now the largest in the state and it is
almost impossible for ore judge TO
cover it. The growth Of the ten 3oun-
ties comprising the circuit has been
great in recent years, and now many
of the counties are behind with their
dockets.
MI
The division as proposed by ma
Jority of the counties will leave in the
Brunswick circuit the counties of
Glynn, Wayne. Camden Appling and
Jeff Davis, while Ware, Coffee. Pierce.
Charlton and Clinch win be placed in
the new district. This, it is thought,
VIII be in very fair division
A New Judge.
This division will, of course neces-
state the election of a new Judge
for one circuit and new solicitor for
the other Judge Parker, residing in
Ware county, would, no doubt. be the
judge of the new circuit, while Solici-
tor Thomas. who lives in Appling
county, would remain as solicitor of
the Brunswick circuit The judge
ship, it is believed, of the Brunswick
circuit, would come to this city.
Every attorney in the circuit and
the district, are all in favor of di-
vision of the circuit, and there is but
the representatives from the ten
counties, as well as the senators in
little doubt but the bill will be passed
at the session of the legislature next
month.

Americus, long ince anxious TO Sc

and il appears Thar the road will soon
1haYe an entrance into that city The
Amercus Times-Eecorder Of yester-
day contains the following ON the sub
ject:
Frank Lauier, CraW ford Wheatley,
Daniel Borum. Frank Sheffield This
is a committee CT the board of trade
mat win take Il run over to Byron
Vile some day the coming week to
meet the Messrs Byron and other
citizens Of that section and discuss
with them the project for connecting
Amreicus with the A, B. & A. railroad,
by line running from Americus to
Byromville.
This project is not a new one, but
the outlook for its being pushed to
completion is now regarded as bright
er than it has ever been before.
The Elberta Peach Crate com
pany which bought out the Mckenzie
Lumber company plant at Byromville,
is factor in the situation that is full
of enterprise and determined to do all
in its power to make the connection
in question.
The Mckenzie company had run a
broad guage road out from a point
near Byromyille three and half
miles, when it sold out to the Elberta
company.
This road is within three miles of
the Flint river and the purpose of the
company is to push it on to the river
so that it can get at the timber in
the swamp for its manufacturing pur-
poses. The road Will strike the river
about midway between the Seaboard
and the Central.
From there Il would be nineteen
miles to Americus. If proper support
is enlisted in Americas it is believed
the Messrs. Byron the Elberta com
pany people, and ether citizens of that
section would help in movement to
complete the ROAD to Americus, giving
a direct connection between this city
and the A, B. & A, and opening up
fine territory.
The advantages resulting from the
project are evident on their face, Am
ericus would secdre a direct connec-
ton with the A., b. e A. and have
access to three trunk lines instead of
two as now The country opened up
is fine one and agriculture would be
accelerated in it. The swamp TIM
Der would also invite numbering oper-
ations.
Sooner or later the road will be
built to Americus That is a fore
gone conclusion. Americus is not
apt 10 sit with folded hands very
long with chance to get connec-
ton with the A., y. & A. at mini
mum expense, AM with the probable
hearty cooperation of the people all
along the propos i line"
