BRUNSWICK IS
CHARMING CITY
AUTOMOBILE EDITOR OF LEsLiE's
WEEKLY TELLS OF TRIP
FROM RICHMOND.

In the current issue of Leslie's Week
ly a subscriber asks the automobile
editor about trip from Richmond,
Va, to Jacksonville, Fla, and e
pays Brunswick a nice compliment.
Here is what he says:
There is an interesting road be-
tween these points and although the
going is not always good, it's worth
trying. Briefly it is outlined below:
From Richmond to Panacea
Springs, 120 miles, there is a we'll
defined and good road; from there to
Pinehurst. seyenty-fiye miles, and
then on to Raleigh, eighty miles, is
clear going; from there to Columbia
from there on to Aiken A. A. A.
signs show the way clearly; from Ak
en- to Augusta there is a sixty-foot
tu>api!e, with hotels and garages
plentifully dotted along the way.
From Augusta to Waynesboro one
finds good clay road. Next we
come to Milan and on to ScarbOro,
then across the Ocmulgee river at
Rocky Ford to Stateshoro. From
here Bitch lies about ten miles,
thence across the long toll bridge to
twenty miles to Eden, then on to Sa-
vannah, where every native advises
a visit to the cemetery From here
to Midway, about twenty-five miles,
one finds the convict-labor read, than
which there is no better; and on to
Darien, thirty miles away. Here
one comes to a ferry-a fiat boat with
side fences; and while the CAPTAIN
will advise going across immediately,
you lad better wait for high tide, as
at one side there is4.a sand beach
and at the other end black mud.
With luck you land at. Dents Land
ing. From there Brunswick is twelve
miles and a more Charming city
would be hard to find From Bruins
wick to Owens Ferry is a hard road,
though beautifully hung on both sides
with Camden moss and big oak trees.
From here to Kings Ferry the road
is guess, but one cannot go far
astray, as, like Rome, all roads lead
to Kings Ferry. At Kings Ferry is
poor, little, flat-tottomed "ferry-
boat but with some care it is not
difficult. From here to Jacksonville
the old st. Mary's River has to be
crossed, but, while the road is not
well defined, it is good and one will
find no difficulty in keeping in the
path" At Jacksonville the car may
be slipped on the Clyde steamer to
New York, while the owner hay take
New York, while the owner may take
river, a one-day ride not to re over
looked if the necessary time is at
your disposal

that Fulton county numbers among

A SUNDAY NIGHT BURGLAR.
Negro Man Attempts to Enter the
Home of FIR. j. II. Wolfe, But
Is Frustrated in His DESIGNS.

Last Sunday night about mid
night a burglar attempted to
enter the home Of Mr.. J. M.
Wolfe. local manager of the Car
DINA Power & Light Company,
but was frustrated in the
attempt. He raised the win
dow Of the room in which the
cook was sleeping and was in the
act of crawling in when the cook
gave a loud scream and aroused
the family, at which the burglar
jumped out at the window and
ran.
The light was burning in the
room at the time and the cook
could plainly see that he was a
negro, and she was able to give
a pretty thorough description of
him, even to the cap he wore.
Mr.. Wolfe and the police have
since been on the, lookout for the
negro that fits the description
given and it is hoped they will
succeed in spotting him, for these
burglaries have gone on only too
long and too frequently in Hen
derson of late for none of these
rascals to be caught.
Only about a week ago a negro
man made an unusually bold
dash into the private room of two
we'll known young ladies of the
city just about bed time and Gre
ated no little CONSERVATION on
their part. The police responded
very promptly to the call, but as
IN every other case so far the
burglar succeeded in making his
escape.

Something to Think About.

The Progressive Farmer COM
presses a lot of wisdom into this
sentence: Cotton, nine cents
a pound; hay, thirty dollars a

in killing thirty dollar grass to
make nine cent cotton. Mightn t
1t pay you to follow the example
OF the man we mentioned last
week who quit cotton to grow
hay-tWO and three tons to the
acre and at one-fourth the labor
cost Of cotton growing.
You will never profit by your
mistakes SO long as you blame
other people for them.
