INTERESTING MEETING OF THE
BOARD ON SUBJECT YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON
PLEDGES ITS COOPERATION
Ir Order to Stimulate Interest tne
Brunswick Board of Trade r .com-
os Convention of All Inte .ested
sections.

The Brunswick board of trade will
cooperate actively with the other
trades bodies interested in the mat
ter of reopening plans looking to an
appropriation of $635,000 for the
deel ening of the Ocmulgee, Oconee
and Altamaha rivers as recommended
by Col. Dan C. Kingman, by the riv-
er5 and harbors committee of con-
gress. 1t will be remembered that
the item was cut to an annual ap-
preparation of $4,000 after the rec
concentrations had been made.
Due to the splendid work Of Con-
gresham Brantley, the rivers and
harEors committee have reopened this
question and it is up to the people
interested and who live in the sec,
ton traVersed by these rivers to get
busy and make a showing before the
board of engineers for rivers ana
harbors. At the meeting of the board
of trade held yesterday, the matter
was discussed at length and finally it
was concluded to address a letter to
the boards of trade of all cities trib-
utary to these rivers and invite a con-
vention to be held in Brunswick Or at
some other point to formulate plans
for making the very best showing
before the board of engineers.
Az announced in the News yester-
day morning there will be a public
hearing before the. board on this sub
ject and Congressman Brantley is de-
sircus of having delegations from the
various boards of trade in the sew"
eral cities and towns affected to be
present at the hearing. In his opin-
ion, there is not such 500 miles of
splendid waterway anywhere in the
United States that has received so
little attention as this, nor one that
will give better returns for money
expended upon it. The subject is one
Of Importance to the entire state of
Gee rgia
This idea of convention of dele
gates to assemble at some suitable
Place in the zone affected by the pro-
posed hearing ought to be a good one
anu the secretary of the board of
trade will today take up the matter
with the other commercial bodies at
interest. The success of the plan
Will mean much to Brunswick and all
otEer points touched by these rivers.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
HELD INTERESTING SESSION
ACTION is TAKEN AGAINST AL.
LEGGED SHORTAGE OF CERTAIN
COUNTY OFFICERS.

The Glynn county commissioners
helG very interesting meeting at
IL O'Clock yesterday morning A batch
of routine matters was handled. Two
items of interest which received at
tertion was the appropriation of the
sum of $3.50 for the clearing I'D of the
public dock at the foot of Monk street.
The only public landing on the water
front has been neglected for a long
tine and this appropriation is intend
ed to put it in good shape.
The bill of Alonzo Richardson &c
Co. certified accountants of Atlanta,
amounting to $1,2O9.4O (and that's
some bill, too) for auditing the ac-
counts of the county, was passed for
payment. Incidentally and thoroughly
apl ropriate to mention, the commits
sioners also passed a resolution pro-
viding for the borrowing of $4,000 at
8 per cent.
1t developed also at the meeting
that the accounts of some of the
county officials had been checked
short by the Richardson people and
the commissioners issued notices to
these officials yesterday that they
must make a showing by the next
meeting. 1t is understood that this
alleged shortage grows out of a diff
ference in the construction of the
Law as relates to commissions allowed
to county officers in question as con-
strued by the Richardson auditors and
the officials referred to.
The matter will probably be salts
factorily adjusted.

VETERANS REUNION IN
MARIETTA THIS WEEK.
ALTERING THIS YEAR TO BE
HELD MUCH EARLIER THAN
HAS USUALLY BEEN CASE.

Brunswick veterans have been ap-
praised that the annual reuni9n of
the Georgia division of the Confed-
crate veterans will be held in Mar
ietta on August 2S and 20. This is
a much earlier date than was antici-
pated, the veterans rather expecting
that the reunion would be held in
October.
Brigadier General E. G. Gilmore,
from headquarters of the Georgia cav
airy brigade at Miner has issued Jf-
ders to the various camps counter
signed by Adjutant General Edward
j. Thomas, and it is anticipated that
at least thousand veterans will at
tend the reunion in the little Georgia
city that is making great progress in
the work of preparation with the
view of housing the "vets" in COM
fo.t and giving them the time of their
lives.
In addition to the large number of
veterans in attendance a large camp
OF the Boy Scouts of America will act
as couriers and escorts for the vet
Grams. Special railroad rates have
beer secured and in every way Mar
ietta is prepared to stage the Geor-
gia division reunion in very substan-
tia1 style.
While it is not announced as YIt
whether Or not the local organizations
of veterans will attend in a body, it
is probable that many individuals will
decide to make the trip.
The orders issued are as follows

Chicago, Aug 6-When Col. Roose-

the big Coliseum building. The dem

thai greeted him lasted nearly an
hour.
The colonel held an impromptu re-
ccption during the enthusiastic noise
making and was still broadly smiling
his appreciation when he began to
speak.
Colonel Roosevelt had spoken but
few words before he began to in-i
terpolate new matter in his pre-
pared address,

then conservatism, he said, "that we
are the real conservatives"
The delegates sat in a somewhat
amazed silence as the colonel paused.
The situation was relieved and there
wa, great cheer as he added:
'For the only wise conservative is
the wise progressive
Colonel Roosevelt continually de-
parted from his prepared spe ech, in
terroltaing many side remarks and
skipping over portions of the printed
speech. He spoke somewhat slowly
with great emphasis and was con-
st"ntly interrupted by applause and
cheers.

WAR; WAR; WAR;

These be the piping times of peace" sings the
poet, but judging from the reports which follow
each other in rapid succession something has gone
sadly wrong with the pipes over in Europe. War,
dark browed and lowering is hanging heavy on the
eastern sky. The little Balkan trouble scarcely
bigger than a school boys quarrel, has now at
tanned such proportions that it threatens to engulf
all Europe. The big powers which have waited
so impatiently for the time to strike are now be-
ginning to chafe under the delay; for be it known
that the leading powers of Europe England, Ger
