A GOOD CHANCE FOR BRUNSWICK

Editor II. S. Edmonds, of the Man
ufacturers Record, in leading edi-
torial in his splendid paper a few
days ago, pointed out the fact that
Savannah, Brunswick or Jacksonville
had Splendid opportunity if they
would get busy to capture a brand
new railroad The Carolina, Clinch-
field & Ohio River railway is now
being constructed from Elkhorn, KY
10 Johnson City, Tennessee. from
where it is planned to build through
North Carolina as far as Spartan,
burg, thence striking a seaboard out
let on the Atlantic ocean.
Up to this time some three hundred
miles of the line have been construct
ed and every effort is being made by
the owners, who are among the
wealthiest people in the country. to
have line into Spartanburg by the
first day of January, 1910. Savannah
and Jacksonville, both of whom are
always alert. have taken up this mat
ter through their respective cham
bers of commerce or boards of trade
and have placed themselves in com
munication with the moving spirits
in this new railroad project.
The coming of this line TO Bruins
wick is not remote possibility ano
if our people will take the matter il
hand and get in touch with the peo-
pie who are building the line it may
be able to bring this new proposition
to this city. This is only mentioned
in order to show the absolute neces-
sity here in Brunswick for some &C.
tive substantial commercial organiza-
ton. There never has been a time
when the cities of the south, and es-
pecially the coast cities, for they can
not be made and there can be only
so many of them, needed as badly as
! they do at present live, active boards
of trade and chambers of commerce.
If Brunswick had such an organiza-
ton here is an instance where if she

eted prize she could at least display
to these financiers a degree of enter
J prise and OF energy that would of ne

WE WANT PASSENGER SERVICE
TO NEW YORK.

The business men and shippers Of
the city of Brunswick, together witt
all classes Of her business people and
citizens, ought to make some concert
ed action looking to the establishment
of passenger service between New
York and Brunswick via water. We
have called attention to this condition
from time to time and the necessity
for it is as manifest at this time as
it has been since the unfortunate day
when the Mallory line withdrew its
ships from this port
Not only is Brunswick suffering by
reason of the lack Of passenger facif-
tiles to New York, but we understand
the present freight service of the
Brunswick Steamship company is NOT
entirely satisfactory to our merchants
and to our shippers and business peo-
pie generally. Where that fault be
we do not pretend to know or say. but
IT is fact nevertheless that there
Is a complaint among our dealers that
the service of the Bee line is not reg
ular, that there is no regularly adj
vertised schedule, and that orders
from New York and from points be-
yond are not handled with any de-
gree of regularity or schedule. This
is serious proposition and one
touching and involving every BUSH
ness concern in this city.
The whole fact of the matter is that
Brunswick needs, and needs badly.
another steamship line to New York
and in these days of competition
when all transportation companies are
looking for sources of revenue. both
freight and passenger, it seems 10
MS that the task of getting one ought
not to be a difficult one The NAL
Tory line should never have left Bruns-
wick and if the transportation com
panies had not taken the matter ia
their own hands on some traffic basis
and made this deal the company never
would have left this field The idea
of business man or a tourist or a
visitor desiring a sea trip TO Boston.
New York Baltimore, or Philadelphia
being forced to go to Savannah or
Jacksonville for such ship is abso-
lutely ridiculous and ought not 10 be
tolerated We believe with the right
effort it would not be difficult to have
one of the larger lines include Bruins
wick in its calling ports and The
News suggests to the commercial bo-
dies of the city and TO the city council
and the county commissioners the ne
eessity for action on this very vital
matter.

A NEW APPLICATION OF THE UN,
WRITTEN LAW.

In his address to the jury in the
Cooper trial at Nashville on Wednes.
day, attorney Washington. one @
the lawyers for the defense, intro,
duced TO civilization a new appIica-
ton of the old and threadbare thenr,
of the unwritten law. In other words
Attorney Washington argued to the
jury that in cases where editors at
tack the doings of public men or poll
ticians that the attacked parties oughf
to have a perfect right to murder, as
sassinate or shoot in the back the edi-
tor committing this offense.
This is indeed a new construction
of the unwritten law There is a
serious question in the minds of all
thinking people whether or not there
is any or ought to be any virtue in the
unwritten law as we understand it,
that is the law that gives to every
man the right to defend the sanctity
of his own home whenever it is in
vaded. 1t is a far cry however, from
an editorial attack uIon the ward pol
itician to the ruination Of a good
home. II Is a still further cry from
the ruined husband suffering the
pangs of outrage and Indignation to
attack and murder the intruder of his
home to that of the expert politician
or office-holder penting up his imag-
mary wounds inflicted by the editor
ial pen. The average editor would
not write a line in his paper deroga-
tory to the character o. public acts
of any official that he would not be
willing TO so state face to face with
the official or with the individual in
question.
No real brave man ever used the
editorial pen to punish his enemies
when he would not punish them in
the same fashion 10 their very teeth
If the opportunity and if the occasion
were offered. Therefore we are at
loss to understand by what method
General Washington arrives at his
that the unwritten law
should apply in such cases as the MUIR
der OF Senator Carmack
In connection with this very sub
ject, It seems that he powers that
be in political Tennessee have made
every effort on earth to justify the
action Of three towards who assassi-
mated brave editor because he dared
to question their methods and write
his honest convictions They have
stilled the pen of Carmack. they have
deprived the south of one of its most
.llustrious lights. and they have placed
in Widows CARDS a noble little wo-
man, but up to this time they have
not succeeded in outraging the law and
of Shaping decency and tradition in
the face.
We cannot bring ourselves 70 be-
lieve that the twelve men, although
they were selected from the quag-
mires and cesspeols of ignorance in
Tennessee, can bring themselves to
acauit the three defendants In this
case. However. powerful political in
iuence may result in mistrial, and
in that event the three men will have
to face the bar Of justice again, but
