FOR CAR LINE
on ST. SIMON
ONE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED IN
TIME TO HANDLE BUSINESS
THIS SUMMER.
Line Will Run From Pier to the New
Hotel-lt Is Understood That One
of the New Style Motor Cars viii
Be Used.

The question of car service from
st. Simon pier to the new hotel is
now being discussed by many people
OF the city, who are wondering wheth-
er they~will have to walk to the new
hostelry or pay an exorbitant price
to the few automobile owners on the
island.
While nothing definite has vet
been announced, it can be safely pre-
dicted that the people will find rapid
transit on the island and that ii will
not cost them more than ten cents to
get to and from the new hotel.
Several months ago charter was
granted to a local concern for the
erection of q street railroad on the
island. Whether this company in
tends to construct the line in time for
this seasons business is not yet
known, but if they do not it is un-
derstood that another company, COM
posed of those who are interested in
the new hotel, will build a line.
1t has been reported that plans had
already been completed for the rail
way and that one of the new electric
motor cars would be used. The old
right of way of the street car COM
pany which once operated on the is
land will be used and the new car
will be an up-to-date one, and will
nave large carrying capacity.
The work on the new hotel Is pro-
crossing rapidly and it will be com
pleted in few more months Not
to have transportation line of some
kind in operation on the island would
tel owners, and it is practically GER
tain that work will begin on the line

Washington, Jan. 20.-By a vote
OF to s, New Orleans was today Sc

Canal exposition in 1915.
The bill giving recognition to the

expected that the measure will carry
liberal appropriation item.
spectacular fight has been waged
for this honor between New Orleans
and San Francisco, large delegations
having visited Washington from both
cities. The entire Louisiana legisla-
ture, after making an appropriation
for the exposition, visited Washing
ton to prosecute the Crescent Citvs
claims. The governor headed the dele
cation. ~.
An interesting feature Of the fight
was raising money ty subscription 10

by congressional leaders. and which
resulted in both cities pledging NIL
lions. New Orleans was favored be-
cause il is more centrally located and
of greater Importance to the nation

The 'powers that be" at Washing
ton have grown decidedly weary Of

CAPTURES CUP
ON GOOD TIME
s. K. BROWN MADE RECORD RUN
FROM JACKSONVILLE TO
BRUNSWICK.
Made the Trip in Four Hours and
Thirty-Two Minutes, While the Pre-
vious Record Was Five Hours and
Sixteen Minutes.

By making the trip from Jackson
vile in hours and 80 minutes, S. *.
Brown, president of the Brunswick
Automobile club, yesterday, in his
handsome Oldsmobile, lowered the
record between the two cities and
consequently captured the pretty cup
offered by the local club for the fast
est time. The cup is now in posses
sion of H. B. Race, president of the
Jacksonville Automobile club, but it
will be forwarded to Mr.. Brown today
and he will be in possession of it ur-
til his time is lowered.
Mr.. Brown registered out of jack
sonville yesterday morning at 8
o'clock and he arrived in Brunswick
at 1882. His fastest time was made
between Owens Ferry and Brunswick
When he reached the former place
de was only a few minutes ahead of
the time made ty Mr. Race, but
knowing the roads better and finding
them in better condition this side Of
the ferry, he came at rapid clip.
He lowered the time of the Jackson
vile autoist by just IA minutes, and
the local autoist's time will probably
stand for some time.
Mr. Brown wired his official time
to Jacksonville upon his arrival here
yesterday, and later in the afternoon
he received the following telegram
from the present holder of the cup:
9 X Brown Rr1ln cWicy Ga
Accept congratulations. You are
some driver. Will ship cup.

Banquet Monday Night.
Mr.. Brown has also been notified
by members of the Jacksonville club
that a. banquet will he given on Mon
day night by the Jacksonville Automo-
bile club in celebration of the lower
ing of the record, and Mr.. Brown and
other local autoists will he invited to
attend.
Mr.. Brown, when seen by a News
reporter yesterday, stated that the
roads between the two cities were in
fairly good condition, but he is OF the
opinion that if the necessary work
was done at the bad places the record
could be greatly reduced. He says
the Florida people are enthusiastic
over the automobile highway from toe
north to Florida and he believes they
will put their roads in good condition
and thinks it will be up to the people
of Georgia to DO likewise.
