Washington, Dec. N.-Within d

the tariff by sliding scale and in
his plans he has the support Of Col.

new CUT OFF TO
CAMDEN COUNTY
GLYNN COUNTY NOW URGED TO
COMPLETE NEW AND SAFE
RIVER ROUTE.

The people Of Camden county, with
commendable energy, and anxious tc
enlarge their trade relations with the
city of Brunswick, have just finished
cut-out on the Satilla river, ex-
tending from Baileys Cut to Dover,
some 900 feet. Tnis will serve the
purpose of Shortening the distance to
wick. and it will cut out the neces-
sity Of making the trip over st. An
drews' sound, a very dangerous body
of water, especially to small craft.
This cut-Out is 80 feet wide and six
feet deep, thus not only taking care
of smaller boats, but permitting
large draught steamers to make the
trip. The Camden county commits
sioners completed the good work by
building a cut-out from Jointers' is
land to Mud river on this side, WHICH
with one just made in Comden would
shorten the distance some eight
miles. At present there is big bust
ness, which should come to Bruins
wick via the small boat route. which
we do not gett because of the dangers
of st. Simon and ST. Andrews sounds
both of which would he eliminated
if the Glynn commissioners will
make the improvement referred to.
Even with the cut-out already CON-
pleted by the Camden county people,
which involved an outlay of some
thing like 5000, the increase in the
trade with Brunswick from Satilla
points generally will be very large,
and if the Glynn county people will
get busy on this Jointer cut, it will
be we'll worth the time and money.

Fight Germany
On The 7 ariff

Washington, Dec. 21.-Another
southern congressional delegation
called on President Taft today to
urge drastic measures by the United
States in retaliation against Germa-
ny because the increased export
duty on potash shipped to the United
States.
The delegation included Senator
Percy, of Mississippi; Fletcher, of
Florida; Terrell, of Georgia, and Ov-
erman, of North Carolina, and Repre-
sentative Lever, of South Carolina.
They declare the increased cost Of
potash as a fertilizer would greatly
increase the cost of farming in tie
south and would result in an increas-
ed price of farm products all along
the line.
The potash situation is becoming
rather acute. The president is still
hopeful that some satisfactory ar
rangement with Germany can be
reached. The matter will probably
be taken up by the cabinet on Friday
Present negotiations were aot
made public because the president
believes publicity might interfere
with the successful elimination.

Governor Did Not
Take Any Action

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 21.-Gov Joseph
M. Brown did not instruct Atty-Gen.
Hall as was expected yesterday TO
file bill for specific performance
against the N, C. & st. L. railway on
the w & A. lease in the matter of
freight rates to and from Chattanoo-
ga and Georgia points.
When seen the governor said that
there were some points in the con-
sideration of the case that were not
quite clear and he wished to talk
further with the state railroad COM
mission. 1t is hardly probable that
the matter will be referred to the
attorney general for action for sever
al days.
In the lease of the state road there
is a provision to the effect that the
lessees shall apply the same rates
to shipments between Chattanooga
and points in Georgia as are applied
by the railroad commission to ship
ments between points in this state.
Instead of complying with this pro-
vision the lessee has applied the
rates fixed by the southern classiti-
cation, which in numerous instances
are considerably higher than the TO-
cal rates. Some weeks ago the sit
uation was brought to the attention
of the railroad commission by Har-
ry T. Moore, of the Atlanta freight
bureau. The commission decided it
was powerless to act because the
proposition involves interstate traffic
but cited the case to the governor,
with the expressed opinion that the
Jesse was violating the lease.
A knotty legal point is involved in
the case and final decision in the
matter is to be rendered in the near
future.

SOON ANNOUNCE
FOR THE SENATE
ATLANTA REPORT SAYS LOCAL
CONGRESSMAN WILL GET IN
THE FACE
Mr.. Brantley Is Expected Shortly
From Washington and He May
Friends Urging Him.

According to report sent out
from Atlanta yesterday. Congress
man W. G. Brantley, of this city,
will shortly announce his candidacy
for the United States senate While
Congressman Brantley has teen
mentioned in connection with the
place ever since the death of Sena 4
tor Clay, no expression whatever has
been heard from him. 1t is known,
however. that friends throughout
south Georgia and elsewhere in the
state, have been urging him to en-
ter the race for this high honor, and
if he does decide to become canGi-
date it will somewhat complex the
political situation in the state.
Mr.. Brantley was expected in the
city yesterday from Washington to
spend the Golidays. The report sent
out from Atlanta is as follows:
"A well defined rumor is current
here that Congressman w. G. Brant-
ley, of Brunswick, will shortly ar
nounce his candidacy for the United
States senatorship, subject to what
ever method of selection is made.
Congressman Brantley's entrance
would certainly add to tae general
interest in the race. and would prol.
ably prove new and formidable ele
ment in the contest. So far as The
actual record goes Senator Terrell is
the only open and avowed candidate
now in the field.
1T is accepted as general fac
that Gov.-eleet Smith is a respective
candidate, but like Br'er Rabbit, il

THE fact that the state executive
committee has made no move to ca.
a primary, and the generally accept
ed belief that. they will not do SO
strengthens the opinion that the gov
ernor-elect expects to go before thu
legislature and hopes to win out.
"As yet neither Congressman
Hardwick or w. A. Covington ha
made any definite announcement
and they too, seem to be in the att
tude of Just waiting. The fact tina
Smith and Terrell both represent eit
ments that have been at war in TIL

strongly in favor of Congressma,

He is considered one of the strong
