might well be, for there has been
a genuine enthusiasm at the var.
ious points where the president

he is not onlv perfectly sincere
in his public expressions, but
that there is back Of these con
victions a positive force of
character that is not to be trihed

poses face to face.

to part Of the ways between the two
nations, commercially at least.
From private sources it is learned
that Russian officialdom is almost a

who is attempting to make political
capital out Of an international ques-

RANGE LIGHT
On ST. SIMON
IN READINESS
- PARKER -HENsELL ENG. CO., WHO
DID WORK, PRAISED BY Gov
EMINENT OFFICIALS.
Will Be of Great Aid to Brunswick
Maritime-Range, Which Cost Ap-
proximately $4,000, One of the
Largest on South Atlantic Coast.

The handsome new $4,000 range
light on st. Simon island, built by the
Parker -Hensell Engineering company
OF his city, is practically completed
and now bears the approval Of the
superintendent of the lighthouse
board for the Sixth district.
Some six months ago the contract
for this new light was awarded to
the local contractors by Messrs. Sim
mons & Mayrant of Charleston, who
have the general contract for build
ing these lights in this section OF
the country. The work was pushed
along quietly, but rapidly by the local
concern and yesterday the job was
practically finished and turned over
to the government.
Messrs. T. H. Gregg, superintendent
of the Sixth lighthouse district, and
w. r. Mayrant, whose firm hold the
original contracts from the govern
of the Parker -Hensell people and
gave the new light a thorough inspec-
ton When questioned on the sub
ject last night by representative OF
The News, both of these gentlemen
attested to the perfection of the work
of the local people. Superintendent
Gregg said the work was simply first
class and could not be improved upon
and that in addition to being up to the
governmental standard specifications,
was in many respects even superior
to the class of work demanded by
Uncle Sam. Contractor Mayrant was
equally as enthusiastic as was the
lighthouse district chief, in speaking
of the work of the Parker-Hensell En-
gineering company on the new light
and expressed himself as being thor
Oughly satisfied with the job.
Something of the New Light.
This new range light, whwich is 10
Gated at st. Simon island, some 1900
feet from the lighthouse, is a chan
mel signal and is in range with the
lighthouse. 1t cost approximately
from $4,000 to $4,000 to construct
and is in itself second edition OF
the lighthouse. 1t will be great aid
to Brunswick shipping and is one OF
the largest ranges on the south At
lantic coast.
Messrs. Parker -Hensell Engineering
company deserve to be commended for
the splendid manner in which they
have carried out their contract which
is not only a great advertisement for
them, but an equally good enc for
Brunswick.
