GREAT GATEWAY
SAYS Mr.. DOVEY
OHIO VISITOR FAVoRABLY I'M
PRESSED WITH BRUNSWICK
AS A PORT.

Mr.. John Davey, of Kent, Ohio, VINO
is to deliver a lecture in Brunswick
tomorrow night on the subject, how
our trees should be preserved. ar
rived in the city yesterday afternoon.
He was met by Mr.. A. V. Wood, who
is taking an active interest in his
lecture, being greatly interested in
the question of preserving the trees.
Other citizens also called on Mr.. Da-
vey during the afternoon.
From what | have already seen"
said Mr.. Davey to a News reporter
last night, you are a city with won
derous possibilities. Evidently the
masses of the south are unconscious
of the boundless wealth by which
they are surrounded. The south will
be the garden of the United States,
and if l had a million dollars tomor-
row, | would invest heavily in south
ern lands at once. Among the best
gateways to the spacious marshes
and the broad lowlands which will
all come under cultivation within a
hundred years, are Norfolk, Charles
ton and Brunswick, and fortunate will
he he, even within a quarter of a cen
tury, who is a landowner here where
the soil responds in such a magical
manner with early crops for northern
markets.
brunswick will become a large
city; there be those now born who
will live to see her a city of a quar-
ter of million. | am glad that I
could come ahead of the date of the
lecture. | want to go over the whole
city so that, on Friday evening | can
point out how you should proceed in
the planting of the new streets which
you soon will be laying out; how to
avoid the mistakes that have been
made in the past, etc. | hope every
business man will be out, and especial
ly would | ask for the presence of
the ladies. | may never come this
way again; let your citizens turn out
and will do them good"

A recent publication says that there

ErstwhiIe Parson is In BAD.

Danville, Wa telegram received
from Knoxville, Tenn, states that Rev.
D. P. Tate, a former prominent Meth
odist minister and more recently an
insurance, real estate and rental
agent of this city, had been arrested
on number Of charges of fraud COM
mitted here. The former parson, after
securing thousands of dollars by ques-
tionable methods, skipped Danville
about two months ago. He had been
gone several days before his victims
thoroughly awoke to the fact that
they had been swindled and notified
the police. Since that time Tate has
been on the dodge.
Tate came to Danville in the fall
Of 1909. He had formerly been a
member of the Western North Caro-
lima Conference and the fact that he
still masqueraded as Methodist min
lister gave him a standing and a
credit that he would otherwise have
had a hard task in securing. He wore
his clerical garb and was very active
in Sunday school and church work.

she floated, leaking badly and proceed

Dor, ten miles away, where she is at
anchor with six fathoms of water and
a soft mud bottom Under her.
The first to reach the side of the
disabled cruiser was the United States
revenue cutter Adroscoggin, which
was cruising in the vicinity. The
Niobe wireless call for help was pick
ed up by the Androscoggin and was
promptly flashed that she would stand
by to help and W. I'D do all in her
power. Through the dense fog and
heavy sea, which is believed to have
been the cause of the Niobe accident,

was able to take care of herself. AL
though water was pouring into sew

her fairly clear, and Commander Nc
Donald of the cruiser, expressing his
thanks to the American cutter for her
help, proceeded to a safe harbor, con-
voyed only by the tug.
