EVERY MERCHANT APPROACHED
is HIGHLY IN FAVOR OF
MOVEMENT.
A LETTER FROM {. C. BRUCE
Explains that He Did Not Intend to
Convey Impression that He OBJ
ieeted to the Terms Offered by the
Mutu al Light & Water Co.

Ihere is no question but that the
white way" movement is regarded
1avorably by majority of the busi-
ness men of Brunswick and it is to
be hoped that the project will not be
allowed to drop. Among the mer-,
chants approached by the represen-
tative of The News there has not
been dissenting voice and the
views of five are published today:
E. c. Bruce-"I am in favor of the
white way and stand ready, as al
ways, to give it my support financial
ly.'
w. H. Wood-'I believe in the pro-
ject and am ready to give my sup
port to the movement in time and
money. Was much disappointed at
the termination of plans"
J. D. Hirsch of Hirsch Dry Goods
Store-"I don't know of any better
way to advertise Brunswick, and the
city to be abreast of the times should
have white way
Edward Miller, of H. M. Miller &
Son-"We stand ready to do our
share toward the white way just as
we have always been ready to sup
port any movement tending to ad
vance the interests of the city
r. B. Brown, manager Fearrington
Drug Cot most assuredly believe
in white way and am ready to give
any support requested
The following letter from E. C.
Bruce explains itself and is published
to clear UP any misunderstanding re-
garding his former communication:
Editor Brunswick News:
Dear sir:-After reading the COM
ments in your Sunday morning issue.
/ fear there may be some misunder-
standing as to my position In refer
ence to my Withdrawing from the
committee on the white way move
ment.
Il did not intend to convey the
impression that the position of the
Mutual Light & Water company stood
in the way of the movement; on the
other hand, | stated that the contract
one and as stated in your paper of
Friday morning the rates are lower
than most cities are getting for like
service.
"The issue was with Mr.. DunWody
as a property owner and occupying
portion of the second floor of his
own building, staircase door 'front.'
ing on Newcastle street, six feet and
seven inches. l understand Mr.. Dun
wody states that he agreed to pay his
proportion of the cost of installation,
but would not agree to pay his pro-
portion of lighting unless other sec
ond floor tenants also paid. | did not
so understand him, but understood
him to say he would consider paying
a portion Of the cost Of installation
and inquired if other second floor
tenants would be required TO pay, to
which l replied that they most as
suredly would in the same proportion
as ground floor tenants.
Il was discouraged after talking
with Mr.. Dunwody, he holding the
position he does and refusing to sign.
T did not feel that | could solicit fur
ther for the white way, but | stand
ready to do my part. In fact nave
more than done so already.
"It is not my desire to do any
corporation or person an injustice and
am exceedingly anxious to See the
white way installed, hence this state
ment that people, of Brunswick may
know fully what wished to convey
in my former letter.
ED. c. BRUC CE."

ment In Dublin, which could stop. the
export of food to England when she
needed 1t most Ulster too. they say,
should have something to say about
the disposal of the customs collections
for. while, she pays something over
s10,o0o.O00 annually in customs, tse
rest of Ireland contributes under
100000,
1t is estimated that the expenses
of government in ireland are about
S5s,5OO,O0O and the income from the
island s4l,OOO.OOO. The balance has
come out of the pockets of the other
members of the Union and the gov
eminent in Its bill proposes that Ire
land should be granted subsidy for
fifteen years to cover the deficiency.
Then there are the old age pensions,
paid by the Imperial Exchequer and
the billion dollars invested in land
purchase and other matter Of finance
every one of which offers a difficulty

To satisfy all, OF course, is impossible,
and even to satisfy sufficient number
of members of the House of Commons
to make Home Rule possible this year.

Therefore they are looking for gems

Both sides are campaigning in Eng
land, Scotland, Wales and ireland.
but still Ulster remains by far the
most interested. Excitement has
cooled down since Mr.. Churchill,s
visit to Belfast; but the UnIonists
have no intention of allowing this,
the greatest asset in their campaign
the Intention of Ulster to fight--to lose &
Its force. To keep UP the fighting
spirit. therefore. Mr. Bonar Law, the
Unionist leader, Is to visit Belfast on
Easter Tuesday and address great
open-air gathering, as Id the First
Lord of the Admiralty. He is to be
supported by the Duke OF Abercorn,
Sir Edward Carson and others. Pre-
ceding the meeting there is to be q
great demonstration OF UnionIsts and
a parade through the city. Should
the parade pass through the National
list section troops may be needed, az
they were during Mr.. Churchill's visit
1t is expected that there will be in
the parade 100000 members OF the Ul-
ster Unionist Council, Loyal Orange
lodges and Unionist clubs of ireland.
Should the bill be accepted by the
Nationalist convention, or even If re.
jected be proceeded with, the debate
in the Commons will rank as one OF
the great parliamentary duels. With
Mr.. Balfour out of the House, as he
has been since the opening, Mr.. AS
quith has been the master OF debate.
Mr.. Bafour, however, is coming back
for the Home Rule Bill and Will take
a prominent part in the earlier dis
cussions. The two great speeches
will thus be delivered by the old OPP
ponents and the harder subsequent
fighting left to Mr.. Churchill, Mr..
Lloyd George and other ministers on
one side and Mr.. Bonor Law the
Unionist leader Sir Edward Carson
and other front bench Unionists on
the other side.
