THE G. C. & p. RY. WILL OPEN UP
A NEW AND RICH TRADE
TERRITORY.
INCREASE IN EXPORT TRADE
Brunswick Has Labored Under an
Unjust Discrimination in Rates for
Many Years But is Gradually Com
ing Into Her Own as Port.

With the completion of the Geor-
sia Coast and Piedmont, Brunswick
will become the tlAantic terminus OF
fCur trunk lines, the others being
the Atlantic Coast Line, the South
ern and the A. B. & A.
September first had been set ty
the G. G. & p. as the date for til.
operation of the first train into this
city, but on aIount of unforeseen
bridge trouble at the Darien river no
definite time can now be named.
AT present the G. G. C p. is QUE
rating trains between Darien and Col
.ins and with the completion of the
line to Brunswick direct communica-
ton will be opened with Savannah.
The G. G. & p. taps a rich secrl.,n

ce to Savannah opens up naw
trade territory for Brunswick.
The improvements and additions

A. b. & A. also means big increase

md the Atlantic Coast Line also has
etensive improvements planned along
the water front
Brunswick Is also in the field for
the extension of the Western and At
lantlc, should the commission recent
y named by Governor Slaton de-
eide to extend the reed to the sea.
Export Trade Will Increase.
Both railway and steamship agents
say that the export trade, as well
IS the coastwise business through
the port of Brunswick the coming
winter will show an enormous inl
crease.
Brunswick has labored under an
unjust discrimination, especially in
rail rates for many years, but from
the present outlook the city Is coin
ing into her own and is sure to
take rank as a port, in manner
that the resources and advantages Of
the city warrants.

DORSEY DELIVERS
THE GREATEST SPEECH OF

By F. C. GiIreath.

Atlanta, Aug. % The masterpiece
of his career and one of the greatest
ever heard in criminal court in
the south, was hurled by Solicit or
Hugh M. Dorsey, directly at Leo NJ
Frank this afternoon in the final plea
of the state, and held the packed
court room tense and thrilled as the
grim tragedy of Memorial Day was
unfolded
Solicitor Dorsey was at the height
of his eloquence at 1870 O'Clock when
court adjourned until Monday. He
had been speaking over six hours.
The case will probably go to the
jury before Monday noon.
The solicitor was cheered again and
again as he left the court house.

The Address in Part.

Greensboro, Ca, Aug 23-"Fellow
Citizens of Green county: | arpre-
ciate your turning out in such large
numbers to bid me goodbye. This
manifestation of your esteem is
very gratifying.
Il understand why you should want
to know what my duties are, because
of your interest in me personally. and
your interest as citizens of Georgia
to those public duties Unexpectedly
to me Governor Slaton rendered the
appointment of state tax commissions
er, which has to do directly with the
states fiscal affairs. Knowing the
need Of reformation In them and the
present distressing condition of the
state treasury, indulging the hope
that | might be OF some service to
the state, ! accepted the offer.
Is Not a Popular Theme.
Taxation has never been popular
Our politicians in pressing theiI
claim for political preferment rarely
mention the subject, except to assure
the voter that If elected to the office
he would reduce the burden Of tax
alton
Education the Remedy.
Il believe the ffective way to cure
these wrongs is to make plain the
truth to the people. That the an.
nual tax levied for the support of
the state is contribution to q friend
ly government, and that the taxes
which the citizens pay are in effect
levied by the people for the benefit
OF the people.
Where Do the Taxes Go?
THE total revenue of the state for
1913 is estimated by the comptroller
general. Honorable William A. Wright
one of the most conservative and
capable men that ever held an ofiice
in Georgia, at $5,673 900. The ap-
preparation to expenses is $1,1800O0
The appropriation to the common
schools of the state is $2,5O0 900, ex-
elusive Of the appropriations made to
those institutions of higher learning
fostered by the state.
THE state has been trying to me, {
these appropriations, but her revenue
has proved insufficient. Yearly the
deficit has grown until itenow amounts
TO approximately one million dol
lars.
Our deficit Is carried mostly by
the school teachers OF the state, who
] have no doubt need their money.
NOW II the state was poor and un.
able to meet their debts she might
be sympathized with and censure
would be improper. But the state is
not poor. The state in fact is rich.
There are but few states In the un.
ION which can boast of better
financial condition, viewed from the
standpoint Of her assets and her la
bilities.
Light In Sight.
When your legislature met recep +
ly the very last thing your retiring
governor said was The State shoule
pay her debts" and the first thins
the incoming governor did was tc
send a message to the legislature thai
the states debts must be paid; anc

and permit Thaw to face, trial on
the defective charge on which he
was committed to Jail by Justice Du-
Puis at Coaticock
In this event Thaw would appear
before magistrate and select the
method of his trial, whether it should
be by jury or by the court without
a jury
Should he elect trial by a jury
his case would not ordinarily come up
before autumn, and month or more
OF delay would consequently resu. :.
Whatever the result, many months,
perhaps years, Of litigation could fo'-
low in appeals from the verdict.
During the lifetime of this litiga-
tion Thaw could remain in Canada,
his lawyers belieYe, and they cite
the case of Gaynor and Greene, who
remained in Canada for years while
their counsel fought legal proceedings
to bring them back to the United
States.
Whether this course will be adop,-
ed will rest in large measure upon
Thaw himself.

details Of the Matteawan delivery. 1t
was announced that the Thaw family
stands ready to give the chauffeur
every support in his fight against the

Thompson clings to the assertion
that he is British subject, bvcn
while he acknowledges his identity
Thompson says that his father was
a policeman in Toronto.
Thaw was greatly perturbed today
over the defiant attitude of Roger
Thompson. He would not admit that
he knew Thompson but he issued
this statement:
Mr.. Thaw has engaged Louis st
Laurent, Of Quebec, to act for Mr.
Thompson, a British subject. Nh.

was arrested. Mr.. Thaw thinks he
will be in position to receive dam

MANY PEOPLE HUNTING
HOMES IN BRUNSWICK
Agents Declare They Have Never Be-
fore Seen Such Activity at This
Time of the Year


The movement Of the people of
BruEswcl has begun unusually early
this year. Nearly always there Is an
increase in the number of people who
move to town in the early fall but
1t is a very rare thing that this move
ment sets in before the first of Sep
tember.
The real estate agents and people
who have houses to rent declare that
they have never seen as much activ-
ity In that line so early In the year.
There are people here every day lock
ing for houses to rent, with a view
to moving to Brunswick.
Some of them want to come to
Brunswick for the purpose of putting
their children In school, while others
are In business and want to maze this
city their headquarters.
The most remarkable thing ABOUT
the movement Is the fact that IT has
started early. AS a general 2ropo-
sition there is hardly ever any nc
lively In ary OF the lines until af-
ter the first of September, as II is
generally understood that people are
off on their vacations up to that time
each year.

property, consisting of bonds, OF

cent of tax to raise, If put upon di-
gest where such property rightfully
belongs, sufficient revenue to pay off
the states debt, and in another year
result in reducing the present tax
rate of five mills from two to three
mills.
Does any fair minded man OBJ ,ct
to placing upon the digest property
which is contributing nothing now to
the support of the government and
yet receiving the governments pre-
lection? The man who has paid his
share of taxation justly ought 10 in
sist that such property be taxed. The
man who has only half way done his
duty in returning his property Ter
taxation should insist that the fellow
lwho has done nothing should take a

of the tangle of legal red tape sur
rounding the case of Harry Thaw,

issued this afternoon what was un-

This put the next step in the case
squarely up to the prisoner himself

to him.
