YESTERDAY WAS
b0NDSMEN DAY"
IN MAYORS COURT
AND MANY OF THOSE WHO
WERE ON BONDS HAD TO
PAY OVER MONEY.
City's !Eachequer Is SweIIed ConsiS-
M
ecaoiy as Result of Special Session
OF Court Yesterday-Large Sums
Paid BY Some Bondsmen.

Yesterday was 'bondsman day" in
the municipal court, and, as a result,
the city's exchequer is some fatter
this morning, while a number of
brunsWlck1ans have learned that it
is rather expensive to stand the bond
OF friend who fails to show I'D for
trial. and consequently the bond ia
forfeited.
For many months these various cas-
es have leen sending in the mayors
court. Several days ago every man
or firm in the city who had stood Sc
curity for some evil-doer who had
not been tried, was summoned to an.
pear in court yesterday morning, and
quite a large number of prominent
citizens, who had befriended some
criminal by standing his bond, was
present when Mayor Hopkins con.
vened the special session of the
court, and all of them who had no
good reason to offer why they should
not do so, were made to pay the
amount of the bond.
There were eight or ten of them
and in some instances they had tc
pay as high as $50. These cases
have been going over from time to
time and finally 1t was decided to
clear them from the docket. Many
of those who were under bond had
skipped to parts unknown. Others
we're still in the city but have never
stood trial, and it was the bondsmen
who suffered, all of them being com
PEELED to pay over the amount for
which they were security.
And it is expected that hereafter
those who had to pay out the hard
cash yesterday will be a little more
careful in affixing their names to a
bond. ~ - "a

A KICK REGISTERED
AUTOISTS USE BRUN SWICK'S
ROAD, BUT FAIL TO COME
TO THIS CITY.

In order to supply a much-needed
link in the Savannah Brunswick
jacksonville road, Brunswick and
Glynn county, several months ago,
constructed across Dents rice planta-
ton a new road at an expenditure
Of approximately 900, thus reduc-
ing the distance to Darien, by ferry,
almost half. This was done in order
to bring all auto parties making a
trip between the two cities to Bruns-
wick.
But it has been discovered that
Jacksonville autoists are using this
new road. luilt at the expense OF
this city. and are not coming INTO
Brunswick on the trips T. seems
that the automobiists have discover
ed tYt they can cut through" the
northern end Of the county to Dents
plantation and continue on to Sa-
vaunah. thus leaving Brunswick out
Of their itinerary altogether, but
some action is going to he taken by
local people in an effort to make the
visitors come via Brunswick on their
trips.
The matter has been called to the
attention Of those who interested
themselves in the construction of the
new road and a strong complaint has
been made against the action Of the
Florida automoI lie parties. It is prob
able that some definite action will be
taken shortly and these automobilists
will be requested to hereafter, on all
trips, come by Brunswick. The city
is certainly due this for the road it
has constructed for the benefit of the
making the trip between the
two cities.

TO BRUNSWICK
CAPITALISTS, WHO VISITED THE
CITY SOME TIME AGO, ARE
WELL PLEASED.
Something Definite Will Be Decided
at a Stockholders Meeting to Be
Held Early Next Month-WouId
Mean Big Plant for City.

Following the announcement made
in The News yesterday that large
FERTILIZER plant would in ali problbii-
1ty locate in Brunswick. came mo"n
interesting news yesterday concern
ing the establishment of box factory
for which a number of local business
men have been working for some
time.
Several weeks ago Alabam:. cari-
talists who are interested in the fac
tory, visited By nswick with view
to locating the factory They locked
and spent two or three days in the
city. One or two conferences with
local business men were held, but
nothing definite was decided.
These capitalists announced, when
thess sft the city, that as soon as
they arrived at some decision they
would so notify those interested IL
this city. Since that time nothin3
has been heard from them, but yes
terday letter was received, stating

than likely that the plant would De
located in Brunswick The letter an
nounced that the visitors were great
ly pleased with Brunswick and it is
known that they favor this city rs a
location for the plant, and will locate
it here if certain conditions are met.
A meeting of the S -nolders OF
the company will be held at Lumber
City some time between Oct. anf
IL, and at this meeting some definite
action as to a location will be de-
cided.
The plant in question is an unus-
ually large one, giving employment
to UPWARDS of $50 men, and it would
mean a great thing for Brunswick. 1t
is probable that Brunswick Will be
reresented at the meeting to be held
in Lumber City early next month.
