KORNEGAY AND GRAHAM
MEET At GUTHRIE

Guthrie, Okla, June S.-W II.
Kornegay. of Vinita, one Of the fran
ers of the states constitution. was a
visitor Tuesday. Kornegay is one of
the few politicians who play the game
without quest Of place for self. and
has studiousy refused TO accept posi-
tions when proffered.
Perhaps it was but a coincidence
and also perhaps it was due to pre-
arrangement that Senator Clint Ora
ham, who served in the constitutional
convention with Komegay. was also
here Tuesday, and the two friends
We're in conference quite little Of

count of legal business before the

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
CREATING NEW COUNTY

Guthrie, Okla, June S.-The first
county to be formed in Oklahoma
since the adoption of the constitution
is Harmon county. the most south
western county of the state. Proclaim
alton was issued by Governor Haskell
yesterday making Hollis the county
seat, and admitting Harmon county
as the seventy-sixth county of the
state. The entire county is formed
by territory formerly belonging to
Greer county. In the election which
decided whether or not new county
should be formed the inhabitants of
the proposed new county by vote
of five to one decided in favor of the
new county. The new county received
its name by reason of the fact that
Judge Harmon, who is now governor
of Ohio, was attorney general of the
United States during Cleveland's ad-
ministration and conducted suit in the
supreme court, which resulted in the
decision that Greer county belonged
to Oklahoma instead of Texas.

PLAN SQUELCHED
Governor Gives Reason For Not Cali
ing Election - Constitutional
Clause is lrrevocable.

Oklahoma City, June 3.-Those in
terested in initiating constitutional
amendment to give Oklahoma high
license liquor system have been anx-
ious as to Governor Haskells attitude
toward a special election to submit
ghis matter to the people The ques-
ton was mentioned to the governor
at the Threadgill hotel last Saturday
night and he is quoted as having stat
ed that the liquor interests knew he
would not call a special election on
this question
The governor, it is said. believes
these interests have been active in
efforts to discredit him and have gone
so far, he states. as to have their at
torneys assist the government attor-
neys in the fraud cases brought
against him
When questioned as to his reasons
for opposing the submission of this
proposed constitutional amendment
the governor said it was because of
the provisions in the enabling act
granting prohibition for twenty-one
years in the Indian Territory section
of the state and which had been adopt
ed as an "irrevocable ordinance" in
the constitution.
If governor Haskell's position on
the resubmission of the liquor ques-
ton is correctly stated above. does it
not apply with equal force to the
question of state capital removal, al
so adopted as an lrrevocable ordin-
ance in the constitution?

The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1909-10-24
BRUNSWICK'S CHERRY
ATMOSPHERE.
It's in the air.


ihere is no question about that
statement, one can feel it in the very
atmosphere, it's in the expression of
the faces cf the business man and
1t is in evidence in the workshop.
The merchant tells it to you in that
smile that won't come off, and
countless substantial improvements
all over Brunswick from the erection
of three story business buildings to
the putting down Of vitriied brick
pavings all tell the same story-bus-
mess conditions are reviving with
rapidly and with certainty as graf
ltying as it is substantial. Just take
look at Brunswick and then ask
yourself if this is the statement Of
an optimist. Note the gradual. steady
growth of the city in every line and
above all. note the conspicuous alb
sence of anything that characterizes
the boom, so reprehensible and so
dangerous to any community, where
inflated values, fictitious prices and
unsound investments are made to an
pear to stand for something real and
solid!
No, we have no brass band land
sales in Brunswick, but on the other
hand the realty of the community is
demanding a safe figure on the open
market and the tendency is decidedly
upward. And there is a reason for
this condition. The recent completion
of one of the best constructed systems
of trolley lines in the country. the
ultimate coming of the Georgia. Coast
"a Piedmont railroad TO Brunswick,
the increase in the cotton exported
through the port. the development of
the farming lands of the county along
practical lines, these and other kim
.dred causes are contributing to the
condition to which we refer.
Brunswick was never in a more
.conservatively safe position than she
lis today. Catching the attention OF
the great department of agriculture
lat Washington, an expert on the sub
ject of soils has been delegated here,
has found our lands highly productive
and has added a new impetus to the
agricultural circles of the commun-
ity by his very encouraging report
of the same. Our people are looking
for some other great industry to be
added to that of the commerce of the
port and they are about to find it in
the lands of the county and the city.
In short the ozone of progress and
prosperity is in the air and Brunswick
and her people must catch every
zephyr of ii that comes their way
They can do it, by concert of action,
unity of purpose, energy and the
other essentials that make for good
American citizenship.
