and Agree on Preferential Rates.

Secretary Weatherly of the Boart
| of Trade is now preparing a table
showing the freight rates from Char
lesion, Savannah, Brunswick and JacI
sonville to points in Florida, Georgia
and South Carolina.
This table shows that while Char
lesion is given preferential rates in
South Carolina and Jacksonville in
Florida, neither Brunswick or Savan
nah is protected in Georgia, viii h
means that although both Charleston
and Jackson vile can come into Geor
gia on an equal footing with Bruins
wick; that Brunswick is shut out of
Florida and South Carolina
In the near future, a meeting will
be held in this city, between the
freight and traffic agents or the rail
roads entering Brunswick and a com
mite from the Board of Trade, at
which time the matter of preferential
freight rates at least in Georgia, and
an equal footing in the other states
will be discussed.
1t is to be hoped that an agree
ment can be reached, if not, however
the matter will be taken before the
State Railroad Commission as the
discrimination against this port is ap-
parent
Not only is there discrimination
against this port by land, but by sea
as well. ~

OF LEGISLATURE
BRUNSWICK LOGICAL PORT OF
EXPORT FOR LATIN AMERICA
IHE NEAREST PORT IN THIS
COUNTRY TO POINTS IN
SOUTH AMERICA.

comparison of distances shows
Brunswick as the nearest port to

Brunswick to Rio Janeiro. Brazil. is
1920 miles; from New York, 5.l6o
miles and from Mobile $500 miles.
Brunswick has been designated as
a port of call for the Canal Zone
ana with the opening OF the Panama
canal the business on the West coast
of South America is sure to show a
big increase and Brunswick with its
magnificent harbor should take ad-
ded rank as a port.
The harbor improvements. recon-
mended by Col. Dan C. Kingman, are
certain to draw attention to Bruins

discrimination against this city. in
