Some Time on Jekyl.

Some Time on Jekyi.
Former United States Senator Nell
son w. Aldrich, Rhode Island, one
time leader of the United States
senate, who spent several weeks on
Jekyl island several years ago, will
he among the early arrivals on the
island this season.
When Senator Aldrich came to
Jekyl last year he was reported 10
he a very sick man, so much so that
the big news agencies were daily
expecting his death and wired thelr
local correspondents to keep a close
watch on him and wire his death in
at once. On one or two occasions
if was even reported in New YORK
and Washington that he was dead.
The senator. however, as soon as ne
arrived on the island, began TO I'M
prove. and it was only a few days
before he chartered the steamer Al
taouin and spent almost his entire
time on the island, and, several weeks
later when he returned to his home
he was in the very pink of condition,
and announced at the time that, II
possible, he would return to Jekyi
this season.
IT is understood that Mr.. Aidrlch
will arrive the latter part of the pres
ent month.

AN INVITATION HAS BEEN Ex-
TENDED BY LOCAL
BOARD OF TRADE.
DELEGATES FROM MANY POINTS
First Conference to Be Held in New
York Monday to Be Followed by
Others in Philadelphia and South
Atlantic and Gulf Ports.

The Brunswick board of trade yes
in a conference of the leading sea-
port authorities OF the United States
being held in Brunswick in the near
future.
This action was taken by the board
yesterday upon the receipt of let
ter from Calvin Tompkins, New York
commissioner of, docks, inviting a
representative fro Brunswick to be
present at conl renee to bit held
in New York Monday.
In his letter Mr.. Tomkins wrote:
The conference is to be subsequent
ly adjourned to Boston, Philadelphia,
and South Atlantic and Gulf ports"
1t is expected that practically all of
the principal seaports in the country
will be represented at the New York
conference, which will meet at the
chamber of commerce, with Mayor
William j. Gaynor presiding. The
conference will last probably three
days, during which careful inspec-
ton of New York harbor will be
made.
Secretary Weatherly, on behalf of
York commissioner, inviting the con-
ference to hold it's South Atlantic
meeting in this city, and H. H, Ray
mond, formerly of this city, was also
wired and requested to attend the
meeting in New York Monday as the
representative of Brunswick and in
vite the conference to meet here.
Othr steps will also be taken to land
the conference, and everything possi-
BILE will be done by the board of trade
in an effort to secure the meeting in
this city.
The purpose of the conference is
to exchange ideas relative to port or
ganization, to promote the exchange
of information between the principal
port authorities, the development of
uniform methods of administration,
and possibly to provide for some per-
manent organization between the port
y.
son the conferences are to be held is
the opportunity they will afford for
an inspection of some of the impor-
tant ports of the country by officials
primarily responsible for port organ
ization.
MANY problems of organization are
common to all ports, as for instance
the principle of coordinating rail-
road terminals so that expensive
transfers between separate terminals
may be avoided it is recited. Con-
tinuity of plan and policy, including
provision for public administration OF
ports, is also a matter of general
concern and will be threshed out. The
relation of the city, state and nation
to each of the ports, as well as CO.
ordination, simplification and unifor-
nifty of laws and ordinances will re-
ceive consideration.
Port organization wrote Mr..
Tomkins, lis a comparatively new
science. and the inter-dependence OF
ports is only beginning to be appre-
GATED. The facilities of port IN
many instances may advantageously
be p'anned with relation to terminals
elsey here. Critical comparisons D2
resi- IL sible a1d a. alified experts Will
rapidly develop Intelligent public
opinion"

LAND VALUES IN GlYNN RANGE
FROM $3.50 TO $50
p.
Il PER ACRE.
MAKES EXCELLENT SHOWING
The Soil Survey Was Held Under the
Supervision of the National Depart
nent of Agriculture Some Time
Ago.

Touching the recent soil survey in
ces of the agricultural department,
Secretary Wilson has issued the fol-
lowing:
Improvement of the poorly drain
ed soils depends mainly upon the
drainage and thorough cultivation.
The chief need of the well-d drained
upland soils is organic matter. A
thorough drainage system should be
established for the county as whole.
With this agricultural system in op-
GRAFTON Glynn county, Ca, will have
a promising future, especially as a
truck growing district"
The above is statement made in
the report Of soil survey of Glynn
county, made by the bureau of soils,
department of agriculture, sometime
ago, and which has just been issued
by the secretary The report goes
thoroughly into the soils and agricul-
tural conditions of the county, and
gives an interesting description and
analysis OF the soils of the county,
thirty-six different types having been
encountered and mapped during the
Srvey. The report also contains an
illustrated map showing the agrlcul-
tural conditions in the county as well
well as showing every town, settle
ment, church, schoolhouse, road and
stream. The area surveyed covers
437 square miles or 279,6SO acres.
Brunswick is the chief city and coun-
ty seat.
Land values range from $3.50 to $50
an acre, while land for agricultural
purposes cleared can be obtained
throughout the greater part of the
county at prices ranging from 5000
to SIS per acre, although land values
are steadily increasing. Where ad-
yanced methods and system of crops
are practiced, states the report, as is
the case in the neighborhood OF
Brunswick, Anguilla and Brookman,
Yields from 20 to 60 bushels of corn,
one-half to one bale of cotton, and
one ton of oats hay are obtained to
the acre. A rotation OF cotton ana
corn, followed by crab grass and vel
vet beans or cowpeas the second
year, has been found beneficial.
Nearly rs per cent of the farms OF
the area are worked by the owners.
The average size of, the farms as
given by the census of 1901 is $40
acres, states the report. Farm lap-
orers receive Is cents to S1.00 day.
Cotton pickers receive as h1gh as Sl
per hundred pounds. The agriculture
of the river bottom district along the
Afamaha river is different from that
of the upland soils. On one planta-
ton the record of rice crops Tor a
period of 40 years shows an average
of 81 bushels per acre, while an aver
age yield runs from 80 to % bushels

Mrs. Clarence Burns, social work

of Experience with the so-called bad
boys, and most of them certainly
lived up to their reputation until we
found an outlet for their energies.
"A good deal of so-called badness
or naughtiness is just pend-up ami

an Noutlet for this energy, something
which is interesting at the same time,
yop will have no trouble in managing
hin. Outdoor exercises and mymnas-
ticE work which the boys get in the
fairgrounds are the very best thing
for this kind of a child, and it is be-
canse we haven't enough Fairgrounds
and enough interesting gymnastic
work and outdoor games, and espe-
cially because there are not suffi-
cient places to play in near the con-
gested districts, that children of this
type get into mischief

who is full of surplus vitality and en-
ergy, and, who runs about the street,
is apt to come into contact with the
child who has criminal tendencies,
who is either a moral delinquent or

Washington May 9-tsnecial)-rh conclusion that Theodore Roosevelt in tends to bolt the Chicago convention if he Is not nominated. and organize a convention of his own, which will nomi- nate him. is unacceptable from the evil denee that Is daily being furnished.
 The Taft people are now in control of the republican organization. and MT. Taft would be less than human If he did not use it. That means the Taft delegates will be seated in most instances and the Roosevelt contesting delegations and they are numerous, will be thrown out There will be enough contesting Roosevelt dele gations in Chicago to fill a large hall. Plans are being made looking to a Roose- welt convention if the republican national committee at its meeting, on June 3rd, decides against the rough rider.

"The State" 1 am It

Cincinnati May l9.--In most bitter and scathing denunciation of Col. Theo- dore Roosevelt, President Taft tonight declared "that the certainty of his defeat for the republican nomination must be a source of profound con
 gratulation to all patriotic citizens" declared that his predecessor in the White House would wreck the repub . lican party if he is chosen by the re-
 publican national conventions and com pared Colonel Roosevelt to Louis KY of France, who said;
 "The state. I am it-'
 The attack was in the form of a statement;
 "on Thursday last" said the Presi- dent, q gave statement to the press in which I said that 520 Taft dele- gates then elected to the convention and with the immediate prospect of the election of enough 10 exceed the necessary $40, the success of the cause of constitutional government seemed assured. The delegates elected since that time have confirmed this con- clusion.
 MT. Roosevelts speech at Cleve- land shows him in such light that the certainty of his defeat for the re- publican nomination must be source of profound congratulation to all patri- otic citizens who can now see the utter wreck that he would have made of the party if nominated and the greater danger 10 which the country would have been exposed had there been any
 chance of election to third term The attack was in the form of a statement in which the President said in part:
 "hfr. Roosevelt says that he is the republican party. and that if the re- publican national committee, in pass i ing on the credentials of delegates for the preliminary roll in the convention,

 MT Roosevelt is paving the way for a bolt and preparing to put the onus' of that action on the regular organization.
 In the concluding address of his cam paign in Ohio, in Cleveland, he said, We, not they. are the real republicans. l am the republican party. I'll not get out, I'll continue to be the republican party and you'll get out"
 This was the colonel's decslration after noting that MT. Taft expects to see Messrs. Penrose. Lorimer Barnes and company control the Chicago convention by deliberately seating men who are not en- titled to he seated and who will then vote on the credentials of all other men in the convention.
 ''I serve notice on behalf of the people that there will be no toeration by the re- publican party of such action. We do not Intend to surrender to them control of the convention. control of our govern ment and our liberties" is his attitude.
