Three TOrpedObOat DestrOyers
VIII Come From Jacksonville
And Spend The Day Here.
NAVAL RESERVES ON BOARD
War Craft Have Been in Jack
sonvilIe Where They Were
Drawing Cards at the Great
Tair Which Was Held in That
City for Several Days.

Three of Uncle Sans trim fighters
all torpedoboat destroyers, will ar
rive in Brunswick early this morning
and they will have on board, besides
the crews of the respective vessels,
about fifty members of the Jackson
vile naval militia The three YES
sels in the fleet are the Lamson. the
Sterret and the Monaehan.
These three torpedoboat destroy
ers have been in Jacksonville for the
past two or three days. They were
secured in connection with the big
fair which has been on in that city
for the past week, and they have
been visited by thousands of people
during the time that they were in the
Jacksonville harbor
1t was decided that while the de-
stroyers were in Jacksonville it was
most opportune time to give the
Florida naval militia little training
and an outing, and trip was arrang-
ed and it was decided to come to
bTuliSWlCk Wltn tne VOlunleer naval
reserves. The three, destroyers left
Jacksonville Yesterday afternoon and
it is expected that they will reach
the bar at an early hour this morn
ing and proceed on into the harbor.
arriving here probably by s or 8
O'Clock. While it could not be learn
ed last night where the destroyers
would dock it wasn,u understood that
they woud all be mcered at the wharf
of the Mallory Line at the foot of
Mansfield street. and no doubt many
Brunswick people will visit them
during the dav. All three of the fight
ers will remain in port during the en-.
tire day, leaving late this afternoon
on the return trip to Jacksonville.
While torpedo boats have visited
Brunswick in the past and while one
or two destroyers have put in here
for only brief period, this is the
first time that a fleet of three de.
strOyers have come into port to spend
q day with us II is probable that
some of the officials of the CITY and
the Board of Trade will visit the of
ficers of the destroyers during the
day and extend them welcome to
Brunswick.

IN ORDER THAT TEACHERS AND
PUPILS MAY ENJOY THE
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.

AS is the usual custom, the Public
Schools of the city and county will
close on Friday, December second and
reassemble on Monday January first,
in order that teachers and pupils alike
may enjoy the Yuletide season in their
Cwn way, forgetting tie schol room
and the many hours of arduous labor
they have spent during the present
term, which, by the way. has been the
NEST successful in the history of the
city and county schools with a great
deal larger enrolment than ever be-
fore
Some of the teachers will spend the
holidays at their various homes in diff
ferent sections of the country and the
scholars will spend the time in all
kinds of amusements but one thing
is certain, the average scholar will
forget books for the time being.
1t is expected that when the schools
reopen in January the enrolment
will be a great deal larger than at
present as for one reason or an
ether several failed to enroll at the
opening but who will get admitted

Stop Complaining About the

WASHINGTON, Dec. o. Railroads
were accused of trying to ruin their
nwn credit and laying the Foundation
for federal ownership by Max Thelen.
president of the National Association
Of Railway Commissioners. in resum-
ing his testimony today before the
congressional railroad investigating
committee
"The railroads are in hysteria of
pessimism.' he said. with earnings
beyond all previous records and CON
stantly growing larger. the railroads
seem to be engaged in the absurd
task of trying to ruin their own
credit II they were really acting in
the public interest. as they claim to
be. they would stop complaining
about public regulation and would
devote themselves to supplying the
cars. equipment, terminal facilities
and extensions which the public ur-
gently requires.
Federal incorporation OF the rail-
roads as proposed by the carriers has
for It's avowed object the taking from
he peonla of the states their power
20 regulate the purely state rates
service equipment and facilitis of
practically every railroad in the
United States.
The railroad plan brazeniy pro-
viles that by direct com,s Ilsion to be
exerted by tho federal government
new securities equivalent to ali the
outstanding securities including all
the excessive fixed Indebtedness and
Ill the watered stock. are to be is-
sued. The railroads apparently are
laying the foundation for the ulti-
mate purchase Of their property by
the federal government.
"The talk OF the railroads about
forty mine masters Is simply Ian
guage to tickle the cars. No rail
road in the United States jruns
through more than one-third of for
ty-eight states. Although all other
corporations which do business in
different states are subject to regu-
lation by each state, nobody except
the railroads is complaining"

CHRISTIANS IS BAD
FOR L0NGSHOREMEk
SEEMS STRANGE BUT FOR THE
PAST SEVERAL YEARS NO
WORK ON YULETIDE.

The fates seems to be against the
longshoremen, and there is a large
number here. abiut this season of the
year and strange to say for many
years past Christmas month, at least
latter part Of it, has been a dead one
as far as these workers are concern
ed. From present indications there
will not be any large steamers here
until after Christmas and such has
been the case for long time. This
means that the average dock worker
must curtal his gift-giving and
Christmas good cheer generally until
a long time after the real day.
Those who have good records with
their empoyes generally can get all
the finances they need but those of
irregular habits and unruly disposi-
ton generally get a cold shoulder
and if their friends do not come to
the rescue they all have very dull holi-
days.
This year however, these men can
get employment in other lines Of en-
ready sought and are working in the
various industrial plants Of the city
with the understanding, however,
that they are to be relieved when the
first fleet reaches port as their regu-
lar wages in their chosen line is near
ly double what they receive at the
factories. Especially is this true of
the cotton worker at the New Docks.
They all receive excellent wages es-
necially those who are masters of
the art of putting great deal of cot
ton in a very small space.
But the general prosperity here
right about now should cause all who
want to have money in their pockets
Christmas to find employments in al
most any line Of work.

JUDGE ISAAC SAYS
SOME THING OF CLUB
TALKS OF MANY GOOD THINGS
TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY
SUCH AN ORGANIZATION.

The following letter from Judge
Max Isaac anent the new Twenty-Five
Thousand club will prove interesting
reading
Editor Brunswick News:
AS | have gone about the city with
| the membership list of the Twenty
| five Thousand club | have frequently
been asked How do you propose to
bring about the purposes outlined. by
means of this club" The answer is
very simple.
All patriotic citizens agree that now
is the time. of all times, for the good
citizens of Brunswick to unite in a
popular movement for the develop
ment of Bigger Broader and Better
Brunswick. There is hardly a person
here who, il he tried hard enough,
could not induce at least one outsider
to locate here or to become interest.
cd in this splendid city. A number
of persons have told me that through
their efforts others have been induced
to remove here.
With Baxley and Jesup and other in
terror towns putting up money and a
fight for bridge across the Altamaha
river, which would divert all of the
tourist travel that has just begun to
come Brunswick-ward we cannot af-
ford longer to sleep at the switch and
awake later to find ourselves eliminat-
ed and oc the Dixie and National high
ways. And every formidable organjza
tion enlisted in the cause adds just so
much more weight to your efforts.
And then Brunswick needs better
road to Waycross. not mere sand
stretch through which the lighter cars
alone can come but one through which
al manner and kinds Of cars may come
and go with perfect security and ease
and in the shortest possible time. This
road alone will bring hundreds Of
cars and thousands of people to Bruns'
wick and nearby resorts every year
and particularly during the summer
season. people who would otherwise
60 to Palm Beach or Tybee The
Twenty-Five Thousand club can and
will help this movement
Brunswick needs broader bust
ness policy, and one way to bring this
about Is by more thorough personal,
social and business mountaineering
between all of her people. The Twen'
ty.fice Thousand club has plans in
view which will bring about a closer
relationship between its members and
the pubic from whose ranks they come
and thus bring about better under
standing of the needs and require
ments of Brunswick and Brunswick's
business life.
Brunswick needs systematic ad'
vertising campaign abroad There Is
much good which comes from this
kind of work and il properly managed
1t costs but little. The Twenty-Five
Thousand Club proposes to let the out
side world know that Brunswick Is on
the map and IS growing.
Sincerely yours,
MAX ISAAC.
