AMERICAN BELIEVES STORY.

New York, March 8.-Herbert l..
Brldgeman, secretary of the Arctic
Club of America, expressed little sur
prise when he received the news that
the Amundsen dash to the South Pole
had been successful.
Il have been in the business too
long, he explained. Nothing can
surprise me very much. Ever since l
knew anybody was making a serious
try at the south pole, I was confident
that the discovery would be made. l
rather expected it would be Scott,
and l should not wonder at all if we
should hear in a few days that he
had reached the pole, also.
Il have a very high opinion of
Amundsen He has shown before that
he vas a fine navigator and in earn
est. AS far as the comparative diff
ficulty of the two poles aree concerned
there is no question in my mind that
the attainment Of the South Pole was
much easier than the north. Europe
has locked upon the South Pole as
her own field of exploration. 1t was
agreed at the international conference
of 1905 that the North Pole should be
left to the Americans.
Will Now Hunt Facts.
"The most important thing is that
the dashes are over and hereafter ex-
plorers will go out to discover the
facts In time the map will be with
out any unknown land"
Anthony Fial, secretary Of the ex-
plorers' club and commander of a
north pole expedition in 19O3-19O5,
said:
"Amundsen won 1t is likely Scott
has reached the goal. If so, he prob
ably was a week or two later than
Amundsen. Scott could hardly fail in
his attempt for he was equipped as
no other party that ever penetrated
polar regions"
Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, head
of The American museum Of natural
history, which has contributed to the
equipment OF several American polar
expeditions, said that his study OF
the rival explorers had convinced him
that Amundsen would win.
viii Not Doubt Claim.
"One thing is certain he said.
There will be no controversy over
the accuracy of Amundsen's claim. He
has world wide reputation and sci-
entists will believe him without hest
tation."
Capt. Bradley s. Osborn, former
secretary of the Arctic Club, who is
warm personal friend Of Amundsen,
said, when he heard the news:
when, l knew he would do it. The
race fas never meant anything in my
mind but victory for Amundsen. He
was the most experienced Of the va
rious rivals and he knew the ice packs
as a farmer does his fields"
DR.. Frederick A. Cook heard the
news at his uptown hotel, where he
had just returned from lecture tour:
ut is not only possible that Scott
and Amundsen crossed each other.baE

PRESENTED WITH
TOKEN OF ESTEEM
TERMINAL EMPLOYEES COMPLl-
MENT Mr. MANsER WHO LEAVES
FOR BLUEFIELDs TO-DAY.

An event of more than usual inter-
est occurred yesterday afternoon when
the officials, employees ana others OF
the A., B. & A. terminals presented
TO Il. II. Manser, the retiring termi-
nal master, very handsome diamond
pin as token of high esteem in
winch he is held by every man con-
nected with the terminals The pin,
Is beautiful one, being in the shape
of horseshoe, set with dozen dia-
monds. In presenting the pin to Mr..
Manser, the men who have worked
SO faithfully under him expressed
deep regret at his departure, but
wished him much success in his new
home.
Mr.. Manser, accompanied by Mrs
Manser, will leave today for Blue
fields, Nicaragua, where he goes to
accept a position as manager OF the
Bluefields Steamship company, which
operates line of steamers between
that place and New York. Mr.. Man
ser formerly held this position. and
made such an excellent official that
several times since the owners of the
steamship company have made him
hatterlng offers. It is with deep re-
greet that Brunswick loses such a val
liable citizen as Mr.. Manser, while his
wife, who made such large number
of friends in the city, will be greatly
missed.
: In leaving Brunswick Mr.. Manser
says it is with much regret that he
is removing his residence; he says he
likes Brunswick, her people and every
thing and some day he hopes again to
make this city his home.

NO MORE BIG RACES AT
SAVANNAH BY AUTO CLUB

Savannah, March 8-The Savannah
Automobile club, at its annual meet
ing last night, decided that it would
not make any effort to secure big
automobile race for the famous Sa-
yannah course this fall. If overtures
should be made, the club might con-
slider a race, but it will not take the
initiative toward securing one.
One reason advanced is that "the
club will hold itself in readiness to
secure any help that we need to hold
races in Savannah, but the expense is
too great for the club.
The club also decided upon a spring
run to Columbus, Ga, probably in
May.

Christiana, Norway. March S.-The
Slocal newspapers today received dis
patches from Capt ROAD Amundsen,
announcing that che reached the south
pole on December IA, 1911.
The dispatches were sent from Ho-
bart, Tasmania, where Amundsen ar
rived yesterday.
The dispatches read:
Pole reached 14th-17th Deem
ber.'
This evidently means that he re-
NAMED three days in the vicinity of
the pole, probably for the purpose of
taking accurate observations as to his
position.
Much Joy in Norway.
Norway's joy of Captain Amund-
sens success is great. President
Frederick Konow said: @

duce the mortgage materially. [ have
every reason for believing this offer
will be accepted. Attorneys have been
employed by Mr.. Crosby to prepare
abstracts and others to appraise the
property. 1t is understood that the
company's commercial obligations
shall be paid as soon as the securi-
ties are passed over to Mr. Crosby
and upon his acceptance.
l low offer to assign my said stock
and notes, 100000 in full paid stock,
and $4,000 in notes, in trust for the
southern creditors with the person
that the same shall be redelivered up
on Consummation of the Crosby deal
and the payment of these obligations,
and without prejudice to the rights
of these creditors as against the cor
pora1ion in the event of any sale of
the property before they are paid off
This offer is contingent upon with
drawal of bankruptcy proceedings.
These creditors shall also be en-
Titled to all assets and profits from
the Brunswick operation. 1t is fur
Their proposed that in the event that
all claims shall not have been paid
within six months, the entire prop
erty of the company shall be sold at
the expiration of the season of 1912,
and after proper advertising, and the
creditors to be secured by my per-
sonal holdings, shall then have the
rights to take the share which would
otherwise come to me as a note bod
er, etc, in addition to what may be
awarded them as common creditors up
to the amount of their claims with
interest.
II bankruptcy proceedings are with
drawn and the company left free to
operate the property, the best pos
sible result can be obtained. If the
litigation is continued, the mortgage
will be foreclosed at the earliest pos
sible moment, it now being due, ana
under such conditions it is almost
certain that the property will yield
nothing whatever for the common
creditors. If the Atlantic Hotel and
the electric plant are not operated this
season the property will be seriously
deprecated in value, and the mort
gage will proceed to a sale as quick
ly as possible; when if anything over
the mortgage and cost shall be real
lied, $4,000 in gold notes as well as
my own claim for salary and money
advanced to large amount, must par
ticipate equally with these creditors.
I'm ready to forward the securi-
ties to you upon receipt Of your as
surance Of the withdrawal OF bank
ruptcy proceedings, and to Immediate
ly arrange for the operation of the
Ocean City property, and the prose
cutioz of Crosby negotiations.

the wreck on the Georgia Railroad
early this morning when four were
killed and dozen injured.
Three men, in the stiffness of the
night, knew that the wreck was going
to occur, and waited breathlessly for
the impact of two giant locomotives
running at high speed There was a
freight train running in two sections,
ad both were to meet the passenger
at Rutledge, Ga AS the first section
was moving out of Rutledge, the sec

Allen, of the second section, remem-
bered that both were to meet the pas

lights of ethe first section of the train
in the dim distance, and he could not
stop it. He secured his train tele-
phone and called up Social Circle, the

Inn On Mountain Summit.

Governor Marion E. Hay of Wash
ington suggests the building of a
beautiful inn on the summit of Mt.
Spokane, the loftiest peak in the en-
tire Spokane country. This was the
mountain in the recent christening
of which the governor played an i'm
portant part From its top a view
can be had in all directions as far as
the eye can penetrate, and Governor
Hay believes thousands of visitors
to the west would be impressed
greatly by a few days stay on the
summit. An automobile road already
has been constructed part way up
the mountains slope, and hundreds
of people have gained the eminence
this summer. This winter open
house will be maintained on the
mountain by Francis II. Cook. There
he will entertain such hardy folks as
are able to enjoy the cold months at
such an altitude. For the present,
his guests are expected to be none
but those of the pioneer type, for
the open house" will be in a primi-
tive but durable log cabin.

Mourning for the Dead.

There are few things in which men
and women show themselves so IRA
tional as in prolonged and consum-
mate grief for the dead. 1t is not in
human nature to be philosophic when
the earth has closed over one we
love, but to nourish agony and sor-
row is nearly an abdication of .eason
itself. The God who orders our
births, orders likewise our deaths.
All must die. To die is as common
and as natural as to live. Being
common, universal, certain, it can
not be an evil. Those who have gone
before, no matter how long their
days, seem to have lived and van
lshed as creatures of the hour. so
that even over the death of the
young we should not lament at the
seeming untimeliness of their taking
off. 1t is indiscreet to assume that
the death of the young is a peculiar
calamity and hardship. How can we
tell what they have escaped, or de-
eide that they are not singularly for
tunate? Who finds life such an un-
mixed blessing as to grieve long over
the translation of those who are yet
innocent and happy to serener
spheres. 1t is vain and unavailing to
grieve over what has happened and
cannot be altered 1t does no good
to the dead and it Injuries the living.
1t is also mutiny against the Presid-
ing Judge of all. To honor the dead
Alright is to cherish fondly the mem
ory of good dispositions and deeds,
and make that memory a guide for
our own spiritual attainments. This
is better than marble slabs, glowing
memorials or devouring pangs of
fruitless woe. The ancient world
never clothed death with the terrors
which came in with the church and
the middle ages. Who grieves for
ever has no faith in a reunion. Such
tears silently proclaim the fear OF
annihilation, the despair that forgets
God.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
The Old Home.
-. .;s3,.s;::;s1ss; St;:;3.


Well worth the recollection of an
occasional hour.
Boys, do you ever sit down and
talk for an hour over the scenes and
adversities and the successes of
childhood? Do you ever take time to
look back over the hill of life and
call up the days of ye olden times
when you were at home under the
protecting care OF a fond father and
a devoted mother? Do the early
days spent possibly in pioneer home
ever occur to you as the happiest
home of your eyentful life?
These questions are for the "old
boys" those who have passed the
meridian of life and now are on the
down slope, and who from natural
causes will soon pass into the un-
known beyond, where they are to en-
joy the rewards that come of a well
directed life.
Boys, think of the old home where
were father, mother, and the charm
ing brothers and sisters whose whole
| aim was to keep home happy and
make life a pleasure rather than a
burden. You remember fathers cor
ner behind the big fireplace, do you
not? See him as he sits and mods in
the twilight of the dim fire and
dreams of the day2 when his boys
will be senators and will not have
to stand the bitter trials of the. dark
forests or the treeless prairies.
Perchance he has toiled all day in
the clearing, vigorously battling
with nature for the ascendency o.
the arts of man. He did these things
you know and all for you too. Hi!
trials were bitter. His aims were
noble. His object was happiness
prompted by a motive of love. Tht
home was crude, compared with tn,
gorgeous palaces of these days. Blu
the joy was there because father wa,
and love because mother was Yes
see her. as she sits at her work owe
in the corner. She is the perfec
embodiment of happiness. Her boy
and girls are all at home They ar,
yet in their innocency and she know
their every thought and observe
with pride their every act.
Father and mother, brothers ant
sisters. The old home Wha
depths of meaning lie in those words
There is comfort in them. They re
call the innocent prattle of younge
brothers and sisters. They recal
the kindly directed efforts of the sen
10 to secure the JOY and peace tha
comes from the fraternity of hom
with its bonds of affection.
The dim old forest and the wide
expanding prairie are there too. TIL
low murmuring rill with its beautiful
song is there. We were all ther
when we were young, but now we ar
old and all that we can do is recall
recall, recall.
Do this, boys, and see if you do no
. appreciate more fully all that you ar
and have. 1t is but just that yo
should affectionately look upon tn
past.
