At
ST. SIMON MAY
Be ABOLISHED
REPORTED THAT THE GOVERN.
MENT WILL SHORTLY DIS
CONTINUE THE OFFICE.
The Station is Quite an Expensive
One, While the Revenue, Especially
During the Winter Months, is Com
paratively Small.

1t is not at all unlikely that the
postottiCe station, established at st.
Simon few years ago by the de-
partmaut. will be abolished. While
no definite announcement to that eff
feet has yet been made, it is current
" reported that such a move is con-
tem1lated, and unless some steps are
taken y those Interested an order
abolishing the office is likely to be
issued at any time.
The report is to the effect that the
station is to be discontinued for the
reason GAat il is proving quite
heavy expense TO tae postotfice de-
partment. The sum of $1,000 is paid
out ANNUALLY for the carrying OF the
mail between Brunswick and St. ST.
mon alone, and, with the other ex-
pense attached 70 the office, the lit
tie station costs the government ap-
proximately $4,000 a year.
1t is stated that, in the first place,
the ONCE is not necessary. During
the sumer months, OF course, some
little business is handled, but in the
winter the average amount of mail
is very small, so much so that one
mail sack could easily carry all the
mail received in month.
II the Office Is abolished st. Simon
Dass win be supplied by the rural
carrier from the mills. Although the
station was established at the pier
some time ago the Office at the mile
has also been maintained and is sup
piled with a rural carrier, who de-
liyers the mail to all portions of the
island. II the station at the pier is
abolished, mail for the summer visit
ors will go to the mills and be car
ried from there to the pier by the
rural carrier.
The station, however, is a great
convenience for the people who spend
the summers on the island and has
proved unusually popular. To dis
continue it would mean a very poor
mail service at the pier, but at the
same time II is pointed out that it
is operated at such q big loss that
the government will more than likely
decide to abolish it.
AS stated, however, nothing def
nit Las yet been done, but It is un-
derst0Oa :aat orders calling for its
aAolishment may e issued early next
month unless the department can be
shown ttat the oefca saould be main
taiEad.

MERCHANTS Of
ST. LOUIS WILL
INVADE SOUTH
BRUNSWICK INCLUDED IN LIST
OF CITIES TO BE CONNECTED
BY BARGE LINE.
Gigantic Plan is Being Formulated
BY Mississippi Valley Transporra-
ton company-Much Interest is
Manifested in the South.

Brunswick is included in tAe group
of cities of the southeastern territory
into which the merchants and busi-
ness men of St. Louis are planning an
invasion, to introduce goods of that
city, in retaliation for the New York
invasion of Texas and the southwest
These plans are being rapidly devel-
portation Company and are 'ased up
On the establishment of trunk line
service between New Orleans and St.
Louis at the earliest possible date.
The secretary of the company, Jno.
L. Matthews, of st. Louis, recently
made a trip through the Southeast
erH rtates and found the merchants
in the principal cities, ready to CO.
operate in the venture. The general
plan of the company is to put on its
cwn steel barges as quickly as pos
sible up the Cumberland and Tennes-
see rivers, makink Knoxville, Chat
tanooga and Decatur, the principal
distributing points and collecting
Steamship Line.
In addition to this, steamship
line from New Orleans, touching at
Brunswick and Savannah and running
10 New York, will make the principal
outside service to the Southeastern
states aud later connecting lines Of
smaller boats, touching at Apalach-
icola, Pensacola, Mobile and at Char
lesion and Wilmington will bring to
this outside main line close connec-
tion with the principal river Of the
Southeast.
The barge line connection by way
of Mobile will open up the whoe in-
terror of Alabama to direct connec-
tion with st. Louis. But the far
Southeastern connection is not linn
tied to the Savannah river line.
There has recently been chartded to
operate in that territory the Column
bia and Atlantic Railway and Steam
ship Company, which proposes to in
stall steel barges of the type of those
used by the Mississippi Valley Line
Oh lue COilSdEG duu OdHl0S lifOlo UO-
tween Columbia, Georgetown and

Two Seaboard Connections.
This will give this line two sea-
board connections and viii jenajle
it to gather material in Georgetown
and Columbia and intermediate
points and deliver it to outside line
OF the steel barge company either at
Charleston or by way Of the inland
passage at Savannah. The inland
passage between Charleston and Sa-
vannah is sufficiently deep and lroad
for an extensive traffic and from Sa-
vannah this inland route IS capable
OF being used for steel bar9es south
wark to Jacksonville without expos
ing the bargec at any point to the
sea.

candidate for governor. and ex-Mayor
George p. Codd. Of Detroit. opened the
fall campaign In Allegan county. when
they spoke TO 1000 persons last Fight
In Streeter's opera house.
Mr. Osborn said distorted statistics
on general state issues are being
passed out with q liberal hand by the
Democratic nominee and repeated his
former charges that such methods
were not only unfair but were entire
ly uncalled for.
The speaker also returned to his
general criticism OF the alleged
"drowsy and uninterested" legislative
record of Mr. Hemans. In this con-
nection, he declared that the Demo-
cratic nominee had been absent from
tine sessions a total OF IS times with
out leave.
But Mr. Hemans never refused to
accept pay from the state for the
times he was absent" said the speak
er. Does II seem good qualificar
ton for q man running for governor
to carry such record as that?"
Mr. Hemans admits his connection

out When he declares that he intro
duced this bill for a constituent and
did not thoroughly understand its i'm
portance. do you think he makes a
wise admission for a man running for

Ex-Mayor Codd repeated his attack
on Mr.. Hemans. He charged him with
practically admitting Introducing the
bucketshop bill In the interest OF the

sonally he had all the respect for Mr..
Hemans, but that politically there
