PLAIN TALK ON THE PRO-
POSED BOND ISSUE


The News wants to be perfectly sin
cere and at the same time absolutely
fair to the members of tie county
commission and to the people Of Glynn
county on the much-talked- matter
Of the issuance of bonds for better
roads and for the coming of the Geor-
gia Coast and Piedmont Railway com
pany to Brunswick II is our con-
frmed belief that there is a great
desire on the part Of an overwhelm-
ing majority OF the people of the
county to vote for bonds in the sum
of 100000 for the purposes specified
named in bill recently passed by
the Georgia legislature. We are
equally convinced that the action of
the commissioners at their last meet
ing in fixing the sum OF $4,000 for
this bond issue came in the nature
of disappointment to the citizens
of the community and has been the
occasion of considerable adverse crit
icism by the people, not only as to
the amount fixed but in the manner
1t was done, cutting out debate in
rather arbitrary fashion and passing
a resolution bearing the earmarks Of
having been previously fixed and cut
to suit the taste of what seems to
be one man and dominating power
on the board.
We are making these statements
candidly and in perfectly good faith,
in the interest of what appeals to us
to be a public duty to this commun-
ity. Now then we want to suggest
remedial plan for the commission
ers. At the meeting Tuesday invite
the business men, the farmers, the
citizen from all the walks of life in
the county, sound them on the prop
osition and observe that a vast per-
centage OF them will favor the orig
inal plan and will except to the $5e,-
GOO issue.
Then following the situation TO its
logical conclusion, reconsider the adj
yertised call and substitute the sum
Of 100000 for the figures now be-
ing called for, $4,000. Why, a few
evenings ago meeting was held in
the city, largely attended, aud while
The News. in error, recorded the fact
next morning that the meeting a1vo-
Gated the $4,000 issue, as matter
Of fact there was not man present
who was not in favor of reconsidera-
ton and change from $4,000 to
100000. 1t was the unanimous ver-
dict of these Brunswickians thar the
commissioners should in justice to all
parties make this desired change
There is no necessity tOr maAinG an
error when time remains to correct
il, and as we have so often argued the
commissioners are not responsible "a;
the conduct of the people. If the
sovereign citizens of Glynn county
want to vote these bonds in twice
the sum called for by the commission
it's squarely up to them and surely
the commissioners cannot err in CIV
ing them the opportunity.
| Again, if the 100000 call fails Of
success, then it will be time for the
commissioners to fix the amount at a
less sum than the law provides for
Correct an error now before it does
damage beyond compare.

HooDoo NUMBER IN THE RACE
Cars Leave New York for Seattle
Next Tuesday Morning.

NEW YORK, May 29.-From present in
dIcations a field OF thirteen motor cars
will roll away from this city on June l on
the long run to Seattle for transcontinen-
tai automobile racing honors. Announcer
ment of the entries was made recently by
the eastern representatives Of the contest.
the hoodoo number of nominations being
declared. The cars that will make motor
ing history in the long struggle are: Two
Fords, entered by the Cordiner Motor COM
pany: two Stearns, by Oscar Stolp ana
Charles Watson; a Simplex, by the Sim
pick Automobile company; a Shawmut, by
the Shawmut Motor company; two Thorn
ases. by Gus Buse and +. r. Schmidt; a
Renault, by w. G. Houch a Franklin, by
S. S. Mapes: a WEIGH, by L. II. Perlman,
and a Garford, by w. H. Owen.
The original entry list comprised four
teen cars, but the Isotta-Fraschini nominal
ton will be unavailable by June l. c. NJ.
Hamilton OF the local agency stated last
night that he will be unable to get an
Isotta ready by the time Of the contest, as
his next delivery of machines will not be
shipped from Milan until this week. Ma
chimes thai may be nominated are a Zust,
another Simplex, two Mathesops. a Benz
and a White steamer. In event OF the last
named car being listed II will be entered
by Charles Leathers of st, Louis.
When the fact is considered that the ma
chimes wifi face a 4,000-mile trip that will
put every fiber of the modern automobile
TO the test the number of entries is needed
large. OF late the wiseacres have been is
suing gloomy stories relative 10 the ron
test, asserting that only four cars would
be at the starting line on June /. The open
hostility Of the Manufacturers Contest
association toward the race has undoubt-
edly affected the entry list to some extent,
but inasmuch as the nominations are well
known to the motor car world 1t appears
probable that the ocean-to-ocean race viii
be crowned with success.

MUCH TENNIS AT FIELD CLUB
Clay Courts Will See Great Activity
This Summer.
MIDWEST TOURNEY WILL DRAW
womeB's Tourney and City Champion
ship Also to BE Played over
These Nets, Latter Event
in August.

Tennis men will have a busy season at
the Omaha Field club this year. and the
seven splendid clay courts will be kept
busy all summer. The great interest shown
in the game by the old and new players
alike has caused the tennis committee of
the club to prepare for a large number Of
events.
The women's tourney is the first sched-
uled event. A woman's championship
tournament will be held during the week
of June 81 for the cup which Miss Faith
Potter won last year. The cup must be
won twice to secure ownership.
Arthur storz has given a beautiful
trophy cup, for which the men will
play a handicap tournament. This,
which is for club members only,
will be competed for during June and July
and the winners during the two months
will play off. II will be a handicap affair.
All tennis players of the city will be in
vited TO take part in the city tennis tour
nament which will be held as usual at the
Field club, the date being about July "a.
As in the past the competition will be for
the championship of the city In both singles
and doubles.
The big tennis event of the summer in
the west will be the Middle West tourna-
ment, for which the Field club will act as
host. This classic has become a real fix
ture in the tennis Of the country and play
ers will come from all over the country to
take part in the weeks game on the city
courts famous for the way they have been
kept up. The committee is already work
ing up interest among outside players and
present Indications are that the entry list
will be the largest in the history of the
eight years in which this tournament has
been in existence.
After the midwest tournament the club
players viii have a tournament of their
own to determine who is the best man at
the club. Club championships will be
awarded in both singles and doubles. This
event probably will be August 2S.
