New York, July 1.-The most spec

morning, by Harry Atwood, an air
man whose youth makes his achieve

From New London, Conn, to New
York, young Atwood flew, distance
of 120 miles, bringing a passenger
with him on his Cross-country flight.
Arriving in New York, he made a SER
les of wonderful flights around the
city, circling gracefully above the sky
scrapers in the downtown district, fly
ing easily around the Singer building,
and gliding gracefully to an easy land
ing on Governors island.

Speeding thousand feet high down
the East river, flying high over Brook

His flights were witnessed by 100000

watched him from the roofs, streets
and windows. Atwood was in the air
for three hours and twenty minutes.
Atwood again ascended for an ex-

He circled the bay, carrying Lieut..

around the Statue of Liberty and after

Carroll, telephone operator in the
office of the Edward Hines Lumber
Company of Chicago, and Fred Car
ney of the Carney Lumber Company
Of Marinette, Wis, were leading wit
nesses before the Lorimer investigat-

long-distance talks which J. Hines held
with Springfield on the day Lorimer

sations substantially as Hines did.

cess this afternoon until July 13, when
it will reconvene in Washington, in

BRUNSWICK WILL
OBSERVE FOURTH
ALL STORES WILL CLOSE AND
MANY WILL GO TO THE

While no program or any kind of

pie of the city, especially all of the
fans, will be out to witness the base

Highway Commission.


Il join in the recommendation for
the creation of a highway commission.
l do not believe it would be proper
to give such a commission authority
to fix where a road should be worked,
but with a nOn-political comission,
authorized to select capable road en-
gineer, information could he gathered
and plans and suggestions made of
great value to all the counties in the
state. Such man should be able
to furnish information as to how the
best machinery can be bought and

Georgia in their road building.
Anti-Lobbying Bill.
among the bills which were con-
sidered at the session of 1907 and
1908, was the anti-lobbying bill At
that time each house had bill of it's
own, and neither house would agree
upon the bill prepared by the other
house. | very cordially recommend
the adoption of an anti-lobbying bill
during this session.. and I trust no
disagreement between the two houses
may make such action impossible.
Finances.
II renew my recommendation made
more than two years ago for the Gre
alton of an audit department, so es-
sential to the proper management OF
the business of the state.
Il will not, at this time, discuss the
financial condition of the state fur
ther than to urge the great Importance
of making provision by which to pay
the teachers just as promptly as any
other Obligation of the state.

This simply illustrates the growing

OFFICIALS OF THE LINES PLAN
FOR CONSOLIDATION OF
LOCAL YARDS.
At a Conference Yesterday 1t Was
Practically Decided to Go Into Such
an Aereement-No Announcement
Yet Made.

AS the result OF a conference held
yesterday between officials of the
Southern railway, the Atlanta, Birm.
ingham and Atlantic and the Atlantic
Coast line, it is probable that begin
ming within very short time all three
of the roads entering Brunswick will
be operated jointly in this city; that
is a joint yard will be maintained,
switching will be done jointly, while
the various tracks of the three lines
will be jointly usAd.
The meeting yesterday was held for
the specific purpose of arriving at
some decision as to the use of the
new sidetrack to lie constructed to
the factory district by the A., b. & A.,
and after it was agreed that the track
would be used by all three of the
roads, a discussion was entered into
looking to the joint operation of the
roads at this point, and while no def
mite announcement was made public
it is understood that an amicable
agreement was reached and the new
plan may be put into effect on August
1st.
If this agreement is made it means
that the roads will be operated in the
city as one road, so to speak. One
yard master will he in charge and all
switching will probably be done by one
of the three roads, while the various
sidetracks will be used by all lines.
Such an arrangement would not only
be satisfactory to the roads, hut it
would be better service to the peo-
pie of Brunswick generally as all cars
and cargoes could be more rapidly
handled.
Attending the meeting yesterday
were number of the officials who
were at the conference held on Fri.
day 1t is understood that the matter
was left in the hands of one or two
officials representing each of the lines
and a definite announcement is ex.
pected shortly.
