1.-THE obligation OF the national
government to the waterways of the
United States, is national, rather
than a, state or syndicate PROPOSE
tion," was the terse way in which
Congressman L. C. Dyer of st. Louis
characterized the widespread move
ment for improving the water-courses
Of the country The control of the
navigable waterways of this country
was. vested in the federal govern.
.mcnt in 1890 From 1890 to 1910
the Improvement to the rivers and
barbors were made by the states
with the consent Of congress. From
1910 to 1852 these improvements
were provided for by congress with
the stipulation that the work should
be done under the direction of the
president. By act of congress ap-
proved in 1852 it was distinctly
specified that the money appropriated
for waterway betterments should be
expended under the supervision OF
the secretary of war and since that
time ali acts relating to the expendi-
ture of money on our rivers and
harbors have contained that pro.
vision. And so it came about that
the engineer corps of the army was
charged with the work of improving
our great natural highways.
ITO those who live on navigable
rivers the Importance of some def
mite and concrete plan for bringing
these rivers into the highest posi-
BILE state of efficiency is paramount.
But to those who live in the in-
terror of the country, back from the
waters, the needs of improved water
ways are somewhat hazy and yet l
feel sure that there has been gen
eral awakening throughout the coun-
try to the manifold benefits that
would accrue if all our naviGable riy'
ers were made to bear, their due
proportion of transportation and
thereby assist materially in the so.
luton of freight rates. The urgent
need for improved waterways Is
obvious. To understand this thor.
oughly we must consider that the
increased carrying power on land and
sea has been more than met by the
increase of the commodities to be
moved. The freight carried on the
ocean today is thirty times greater
than that OF a century ago. while
our entire system of railroad trans
portation has been erected within
the memory of men now living BY
reason of improved transportation ia
cilities, freight rates have. been great
ly reduced and yet further reduc
tons are needed in many classes
! which probably can only be brought
about by a systematic development
of the waterways" EST

SENATOR KING
EXPECTS SMITH

REPRESENTATIVE FROM THIS
DISTRICT SAYS GOVERNOR
HAS A MAJORITY.
He is Home to Spend the Fourth and
Talks Interestingly of Matters to
Come Up During Session Of the Leg
islature.

Senator King, who represents this
district in the senate. was in the city
Sunday enroute to his home in Cam
den county, where he went to spend
today. He will return to Atlanta again
tonight and will be on hand when the
legislature meets tomorrow.
Senator King expects the present
session of the legislature to be an un-
usually busy one. He says a number
OF important measures have already
been introduced in both houses and
tnat he expects the solons to get
down to work beginning with the ses-
sion tomorrow. The first three or four
days were spent in organizing. re-
ceiving the message from the retiring
governor and inaugurating the new
one. and that so far little if any real
business has been disposed Of. But
now that the legislature is fully or
ganized and ready for work routine
matters will be taken up.
Discussing the senatorial question
Senator King said that many think
the situation pretty we'll complexed
and expect deadlock, but that the
Hoke Smith supporters are sanguine
of his election on the first ballot. 1t is
the opinion of the senator that the.
governor has majority in both the
house and senate and there is no doubt
in his mind as to the election of Mr..
Smith.
Mr.. King says the prohibition ques-
ton has not as yet been discussed
very much among the solons, the sen.
atorial situation attracting all of the
attention, but bills have already been
introduced and he expects hard fight
on this very important question. There
are other various interesting matters
to come up which will make the pres
ent session an unusually interesting
and busy one.

NEW STEAMSHIP
LINE WILL SOON
BEESTABL|SHED
ANOTHER LINE TO COME HERE
70 HANDLE FOREIGN COT
TON BUSINESS.
While No Official Announcement Has
Yet Been Made, Definite Informa-
Line VIII Be Established.

While no particulars can be an
nounced just at this time, The News
is in possession of information, which
seems very authentic, to the effect
that when the next cotton season op-
ems in Brunswick there will be new
line Of steamers plying between this
city and foreign ports, which means a
large increase in the amount of cotton
to be shipped from here.
Definite information as to the estab-
1ishment of the line will probably be
made within the next two weeks. The
plans have already been discussed and
many Of the details arranged. The
new line will use the terminals of the
Strachan line at the new docks and
will probably work in conjunction with
all three of the railroads, although it
is understood that the A., B. & A.
will furnish most of the cotton to be
shipped over the new line.
1t is a known fact that last year
the A, B. & A. shipped through the
port of Savannah no less than 100000
bales of cotton to foreign ports, owing
to the fact that there were not ample
shipping facilities at this port. The
road, of course, shipped all the cot
ton possible through Brunswick, but
many cars had to be delivered to the
Coast Line at Offerman and shipped
to Savannah
Recently the matter has been taken
up with the result that a new line
will be established, and next season
all of the roads will bring more cot
ton to this port. Full particulars of
the establishment of the line are ex-
pected shortly.

BALL SEASON To
OPEN Up WITH
DOUBLE-HEAOER
BRUN SWIcK AND SAVANNAH TO
MEET ON DIAMOND THIS
AFTERNOON.
Both Teams Will Parade Through the
Streets, Headed by First Regiment
Band, Which Will Furnish Music at
the Park.

The baseball season will open in
Brunswick this afternoon, when the
locals will play a double-header with
the Columbias, the fast amateur club
of Savannah, and it is expected that
probably the largest crowd that has
ever witnessed ball game in Bruins
wick will be out to the new ball park
to witness the game.
The first game will be called prompt
ly at o'clock, and there will be a
parade of both clubs over the city,
headed by the First Regiment band,
at o'clock. The teams will then pro-
ceed to the ball park and during the
afternoon the band will be on hand to
furnish music.
The lineup for today's game has
been previously published in these col.
umns. Among the locals are four or
five Brunswick players. while the 9TH
ers have been secured from nearby
cities and will play here during the
remainder of the season. 1t will be
the first opportunity that the fans of
the city will have to see the team at
work. Young Virgins, of Waynesville,
who made an excellent record at one
of the colleges during the present sea-
son, will pitch the first game for the
locals, while Butler will pitch for Sa-
vannah. In the second game Walker,
the old-time favorite, who is in rare
FORM will heave for the locals and he
will be opposed by Lang.
AS there is no other attraction on
for the day and as places of business
will be closed after 1 o'clock, a record
breaking crowd is expected at the
game.

Atlanta, July 3.-On the front door
step of a cottage on South Pryor
street stands an empty milk bottle.
Yet it is not really empty, for it
holds a mystery, which may perhaps
turn comedy, perhaps tragedy.
This morning at dawn the bottle
held a shiny nickel left there anent
the coming of the milkman at six
o'clock.
Three doors below the cottage, in
another peaceful home, lived Samuel
Rosendorf, 36S South Pryor street, a
wealthy and peaceable old gentleman,
who had amassed considerable for
tune in the grocery business, but the
tenor of whose way had been so tran
quill that possibly his name had never
been printed except in the telephone,
book and the city directory. There
was something old-fashioned and idyl-
lie about his life. At
This morning, Samuel Rosendorf
arose before the milkman, and walked
out in the bright dawn, while the
grass was wet with dew, for little
stroll before breakfast. He espied
the milk hottle and in it the shiny
nickel He stopped and looked again.
Then a queer expression coming into
his face he peered up the streetR
down, darted forward took the nickel
fr"m the bottle and put it in his poe
ket.
By purely fortuitous concourse of
circumstances policeman was just
rounding the nearby corner. He saw
it all. He laid his heavy hand on
Samuel Rosendorf's shoulder and took
the old gentleman, gold-headedo cane
and all, to the station house where a
charge of theft was docketed and a
cash bond required in the sum of $25,
which the bewildered old man gave
and departed.
Two hours afterward Samuel Ros-
endorf's name was spread In box car,
