Washington, Jan. lC.-Representa.
tive Faison, of North Carolina, In a
statement filed with the house com.
mittec on agriculture, has asked for
an investigation, test d studies o
electrical processes of getting nitro.
gen from the air at high tempera.
ture He cited scientific predictions
that the Chilean supply # sodium nj
trata, now yielding $50 100000 annual
ly to the Chilean government, would
be exhausted in 80 years, declared
that it would tax America to feed It's
own people in the futur1, as well as
to provide for exports, and that the
question Of foodstuffs would continue
to be the msot serious IN connection
with the high cost of living He said
that a process OF extracting nitrogen
bountifully provided by nature, would
be an important problem for the gov

serving the welfare AMI life of the
people.
Representative Faison submitted
that nitrate can be made at from so
cents to $l.25 ton, and that manufac-
turers of saltpeter are charging $50 a
ton.

of Brunswick, Ca, and Gulfport, Miss
Mr.. Lockwood called at the offices of

Mr.. Lockwood is among the we'll in
formed men in the matter of extract
ing turpentine produces from pine
stumps by the "destru ,-ive process"
or retort system. His concern in
Brunswick and also at Gulfport has
cleared much land by the removal of

such concerns as the Yaryan Naval
Stores company will result in remOv-
ing the principal obstacle to future
farming operations in South Georgia

Mr. Lockwood thinks the naval

SECRETARY SWEET TO
VISIT CITY THURSDAY
He and Lighthouse Commissioner Put
nam to be Here to Look Over Port in
Reference to Establishment of Sixth
District Lighthouse Headquarters.

Monday An inspection OF that port
Will be made on that da'a. According
to the program the party will visit
and inspect Charleston Oh Tuesday,
continue to Savannah for the same
purpose on Wednesday and Come
to Brunswick on Thursday From
here the party will go ID Fnrnandina
and thence tO Jacksonville, finishing
the trip on saturday. only one day
will be spent at each II TT
While of course it is not yet known
when a decision will be reached as to
which city mas been sel,tted for the
lighthouse headquarters, il is thought
that Immediately upon Secretary
sweets return to Washington the
matter will be taken up and a deci-
sion speedily arrived at. an announce
ment is expected oy the several ports
which are contesting f.. the head
quarters by Feb. l.
Brunswick, of course, IS greatly in
terested in the visit of the officials
This city was the first to jump into
the fight for the lighthouse headquar-
ters when it was learned that the de-
partment contemplated removing them
from Charleston; in fact, Brunswick
was after the headquar. eis year be-
fore Savannah, Jacksonville, Fernan-
dina and the other ports were even
aware that change was to be made.
This city has put Up an excellent
light, showing cOncluSlvely at the
hearing in Washington several weeks
ago that Brunswick ha 1 every advan-
tage to offer. While n re is no way
of even predicting where the head
quarters will be located, it is the con-
sensus of opinion amoHs those in
Brunswick who have WATCHED the fight
that the headquarters will eihter re-
main in Charleston or be removed to
this city.

The factional fight among the stock

own for wishing to get tie assets of
the company i'll the jurisdiction of

jurisdiction of the Georgia court
Should they succeed OF course all the

NEW COMPRESST TO
Be BUILT HERE
II IS REPORTED
RAILROADS PLANNING TO ERECT
AND MAINTAlrl BIG
PLANT.
EXPECT INCREASED SHIPPING
A., 3. & A., C. c. & p, and Other
Roads Entering Brunswick Are Pre-
pairing for Greatly Increased Ex-
ports, Especially in c,tton.
EXPECT INCREASED SHIPPING

A compress plant with sufficient ca
paelty for handling all the cotton
brought into Brunswick ever the A,
B. & A. railroad, and otrers using the
A, B. & A. docks at the terminals IS
being planned for Bru' swlck, accord
ing to persistent rum ors that have
been current for some time, and al
though officials of the load refuse to
discuss the plans, and 10 official an
nouncement has been made of them
it is understood that the details of the
plan have been worked out, and that
actual work on the plant IS but mat
ter of a few weeks.
According to the report, although
the A, B. & A. will own controlling
interest in the plant, the new G. 9.
& p. and other roads W.! be interest
ed, and Will be part owners of the
compress, and will use it for com
pressing cotton shipped out over boat
lines which connect with them
The matter has been under advise
ment for some time Ly the officials
of the roads, and the linal plans sub
mitted by various companies for the
construction of the plant las narrowed
down to two, one of witch will be
adopted
The construction of such a plant
Will mean that a great deal of money
will be spent here, not only in the
building OF it, but in the operation OF
the plant after it is completed, for a
compress of the capacity sufficient to
do the work intended fn.' that would
of necessity be large one. The pres
ence of such plant .lere in addition
to the facilities already in Brunswick
would mean that an enormous in
crease in the cotton exported from this
port is expected by he railway OF
ticials, due partly to the opening Of
the Panama canal, and IS taken as a
forecast of the benefits C be derived
from the canal by Brunswick and oth-
er South Atlantic ports.
The work done by the plant would
be the further compression of the
cotton bales in allition to that done
at the gins where they a:e originally
baled, in order that more Of them may
be carried by ships in given amount
of space. AS is we'll known, cotton
even in bales is rathe bulky for it's
weight, and without the compression
of the bales, the available space in
the hold OF a steamer is taken UP
long before the tonnage limit is
reached.

No SPLIT IN THE
CLUB At JEKYL
SUCH A REPORT PUBLISHED IN
STATE PAPERS, is WITHOUT
FOUNDATION

Simply because Edwin Gould and
associates of New York, have purchas-
ed Latham's Hammock ard have filed
petition for incorpo' ton in the
Glynn superior court, ls no reason
why a report should be circulated over
the state that there has been split
in the Jekyl Island Club, that Mr..
Gould and other members will with
draw from the present club and Join
the new one
When the petition for the incorpora-
tion Of the Latham Hammock club"
was filed a few days 49, dispatch
giving the facts in the matter was
sent out from Brunswick and was used
by the Associated Press. This dis
patch, however, did not refer in any
way to a split, but some of the Geor-
gla papers, bent On making a sensa-
tion out of the story, ADDED that a
split had been reported and that some
OF the members of the .ekyl Island
club, including Edwin Gould, would
withdraw.
AS a matter of fact there has been
no split in the millionaire club, nor
has one ever been reported. Edwin
Gould is one of the most prominent
members of the club, aa,l spends more
time on the island probably than any
other member. Perfect harmony has
always existed in this club, and such
reports as have been Duol shed are en-
tirely without foundation.
