petition when it came up for a hear

weeks ago. Had the petition been
allowed it would have meant a seri-

no doubt would have put many o.

The petition was in the form of
one requesting that crossties tie plac-

that is, to allow the same number Cf
pounds to carload lot At present
$4,000 pounds constitutes a carload OF
crossties, while lumber is on the ba-

number of local crosstie dealers went
up to Atlanta ad appeared before the
railroad commission in opposition to

The matter was taken under con
sideration by the commission and was
decided in favor of the crosstie deal

'TIEDEMAN IS
ELECTED MAYOR

DEFEATED r. J. DAVANT BY A
SMALL MAJORITY IN ELEC-
TON YESTERDAY.
II Was compes Administration Vic

the mayor.

Savannah, Jan. 10.-After one of
the shortest, but most spirited munic-
ipal campaigns in Savannahs history
Mayor Tiedeman, backed by the
strong administration forces, today
defeated r. J. Davant for mayor of
Savannah by majority of 29S
votes out of total of nearly 5000
polled. 1t was almost a complete
administration victory, every candi-
date for alderman on the administrd-
tion ticket being elected with but one
single exception.
The insurgent forces, led by Capt.
Davant, put up great fight, and not
until the votes had been counted was
the result of the election known. 1t
has been generally admitted all along
that the election would be close and
many Wagers have been made that
the winner would not have majori-
ty of 1000.
The voting started early this morll-
ing and before noon two-thirds of the
total vote had been polled. Both fac
tions lined the streets before the polls
opened this morning and for the first
few hours the voting was very lively
Mayor Tiedeman, after it was
known that he had been reelected
issued a short statement thanking mis-
friends and supporters.
r. J. Davant, the defeated candi
date, is one of Savannah's best known
business men and has several times
been member of the city council.

Population of Glynn County
During Past Hundred Years

Few people realize that one hun
dred years ago Glynn county had BAIT
people. Well that was our popula-
tion in 1910. At that time. of course,
Brunswick furnished very small
percentage of the population, in fact.
there was hut few people residing in
this city, or rather where the city
is now located. The outside districts.
Eo"eyer, were as thickly settled as
they are at present. The rice plan,a-
tion at that time, furnished a ma
jority Of the county's population.
And it is also probably an unknown
fact that in that same year Camden
county was not only the largest coun-
ty in the southern section of the state
but was one of the largest in tne en-
tire state, having population of
3,941.
Glynn county's population since
1910 will be Of interest to the people
of the county generally. Here it IS
every ten years since that date: In
1910 we had, as stated, 3,417: in 1920
the county had gained just one per
son during the ten years and had a
total Of 3,4lS; during the next sen

years a gain of over thousand WAS
made and in 1880 ble population was
/ 567. again in 1910 another very good
increase was made and in that year
the county had 1902 from 1S40 TO
1850 the county lost in its population,
and the census in that year gave rs
only 4,933, from ! $50 to 1860 another
decrease was shown the last time
that this county mas decreased in pop
ulation. in that year We had drop
ped TO 1889. During the next zen
years, however, the county came back
strong and made a handsome in
crease. the total being 1916 in 1879.
An increase Of little over one thor
sand was made during the next ren
wears. the census Of 1880 giving the
county total of G497. The next ten
wears proved to be the greatest IN
tho history Of the county and almost
a hundred percent increase was made.
from 1880 TO 1890 thhe county jump
cd from G,497 to 1920
The figures since 1890 are not his
tory. IN 1900 we had a total Of H.
317. and by the census OF 1910 the 20
tal was 1870.
