Liverpool. the greatest port in the
world. intends to maintain its reputation
and retain its Importance. The Mersey
dock and harbor board has just decided
on a dock extension scheme which will
involve the expenditure of sl5,000,00o. One
of the improvements will be a deep
water approach to accommodate vessels
100 feet long. No vessel over 800 feet in
length has yet been built, but the dock
board apparently does not believe that
the limit in marine construction has
been reached.

By the discontinuance of passen-
ger tain by the Southern railway ar
ter today, Brunswick's mail service
will be greatly improved. {
1t seems impossible, however, that
the nail service is to be improved by
the discontinuance of train. but it
is a fact nevertheless, and after to-
day, Brunswick people may expect
their Atlanta mail at least before the
supper hour, as has been the case
during the past several months. While
it is not now expected that the mail
will arrive here on the schedule time,
7.45 a m, at the same time it will,
almost every day, reach here before
noon.
The train to be discontinued Is No.
81, which is a short train between
Brunswick and Jesup and which con-
meets at that point with one of the

Southern's winter trains from the
North. The train has been operated
by the same train crew which is
scheduled to arrive in Brunswick on
No. ii at 7.45 a. m. In order to get
to Brunswick and return to JesuR on
schedule time, this train was permit
ted to wait at Jesup on the Atlanta
train only three hours. During the
past two or three months only about
a half dozen times has the connec-
tion been made, and, as result, the
Atlanta and other mail has reached
the city late in the afternoon. But
with the discontinuance of No. 81,
the train crew can wait on the At
lanta train for any length of time,
and, instead of our mail remaining at
Jesup it will be brought on to the
city as soon as it reaches that point,
although it may be expected three or
four hours late each day.

Galesville, HE April 6.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson, in a speech here

The people are tired of being gov

interests, and they are clamoring for
a president who will take the lead
and see that things are done for the
benefit of the general public Gov
ernor- Wilson said. -@''@''' 80
"All the government needs is to be
taken back to the general public in

grow from the top, but from the bot

the struggles, rather than upon the
men who have fought their way to

IF the increase in business counts
for enything,'' said one of Brunswick's
leading retail merchants to a News

This one merchant was not the only
one who expressed satisfaction over
the Easter business. which many
claimed to have been the heaviest in
the history of the city. Probably not
since Christmas eve has a larger
number of people been seen on the
streets than was the case last night.

midnight and all merchants reported
good business.

have terrorized black in nOrthwes-

Texas. Thompsons memory proving
faulty, the officers have given him
until Monday to recall the names Of
several of his converts. A paragraph
in Thompsons bible reads:

the root of the trees; therefore, every
tree which .bringeth forth not good
fruit is hewn down and cast into the

Thompson said that members Of
the "saactifed church" believe as

very successful period Of operation.
These matters are merely referred to-
here to give scmegidea to, the public,

Local Merchants All Report
Excellent Easter Business

was the fact that the business was
mostly on a cash basis. Brunswick.
as is well known. has always been a
great credit city, but here of late
this old custom seems to be rapidly
disappearing, and all the merchants
reported that the greater part Of their
business during the past week has
been cash.
The payrolls yesterday were, OF
course. unusually large, and then
again many people always lay aside
a little extra money for Easter. They
were all out yesterday. and, as re-
suit, the merchants of the city were
more than encouraged with the days
tssiness.
