TWO CITIES PRESENT
CLAIMS FOR ATLANTIC
TERMINUS Of W. & A.
Delegations Representing Sa-
vannah and Brunswick APP
pear Before Commission
With Respective Proposals

Delegations representing Savannah
and Brunswick appeared before the
Western and, Atlantic railroad commits
sion at 10 O'clock Monday morning and
put forward their respective claims as
TO which of the two cities should be
made the coast terminal of the state
road in the event propositions extending
1t to the sea are accepted.
The members of the commission were
all present, including c. NJ. Gambler,
chairman; Governor Harris, j. l.. Hand,
f. A. Copelan, @. Gunby Jordan and W.
A. Wimbish. attorney.
Those appearing for Savannah were
Congressman Charles G. Edwards, chair
man; Thomas Purse, Il. S. Sallas, Ed
ward O'Brien, Frank Wildly and w. G.
Sutlive.
Appearing for Brunswick, was Albert
VI. Smith, secretary of the Brunswick
board of trade.
While both delegations filed exhaus-
tive briefs with the commission, short
appeals were made in person by Con-
gresham Edwards, for Savannah, and
Mr.. Smith for Brunswick.
OFFERS OF I 20 CITIES.
AS for The position of Savannah. Con-
gresham Edwards declared that the
city, as a municipality. would offer two
propositions as follows:
. First, that Savannah would defray the
expenses of an extraordinary session Of
the general assembly by sharing the
burden with Brunswick and St. Marys,
or
Second. would assume the entire bur-
den in the event that the other cities
involved did not care to join her
The proposition of Brunswick as pre-
scented by Mr. Smith in the form of q
brief, contemplates the extension of the
Western and Atlantic railroad to the
sea, via Collins with a link of 100
miles to Savannah. which would give the
road, if extended to the sea, two coast
terminals, Savannah and Brunswick. The
Savannah proposition, on the other hand
offers only the one terminus.
In presenting the Savannah PROPOSE
ton to the commission, Congressman
Edwards called attention to the tremen-
dous business of that city as a port and
offered figures showing that the total
water-Dorne commerce of Savannah, for
eign and domestic, exceeded by nearly
$50, 000, 900 that of the total of the ports
Of Wilmington, y. c., Charleston, S. c.,
Brunswick, Jacksonville, Fernandina,
Tampa, Pensacola and Mobile all COM
bined Savannah he said. ranked. eighth
in position in value of foreign exports
among the principal ports Of the United
States in 1900 and in 1912 and 1914 had
advanced to second position. being ex-
ceeded only by New York City.
Congressman Edwards declared that
Savannah was not a port that would
have to be developed, but one, by virtue
of its great resources, that offered real
inducements. IT was not a situation. he
said, where the railroad would have to
make the port but where the port would
make the railroad.

snare toward the reelection Of President
Wilson and the vindication of their
party.
Apparently. they have not yet been
aroused to the fact that il takes money
TO carry on a presidential campaign,
money which the Republicans have in
plenty, money which the Democrats
must depend on the people, on the people
Of such a loyal Democratic state as
Georgia, to raise.
Your subscription now to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund will mean much
to the president and the party. The
time is growing shorter to November.
Let every Georgia Democrat realize this
