COMPANY FOR The
SATSUMA IS NEAR
PROSPECTS FOR AN EARLY OR
GANIZATION ARE OF THE
VERY BRIGHTEST.

Prospects are brighter than they
for the plans to organize in Bruins
wick a company to develop and colo
nize the cutover lands of Glynn coun-
ty, taking advantage of the pulling
power of the Satsuma orange to at
tract settlers. With the arrival of
R. R. MacGregor. of Mobile, who re-
turned to the city yesterday in com
pany with Secretary Smith of the
Board of Trade, matters began to
take definite shape, and the senti-
ment is general in Brunswick in fa-
vor of the plans is crystalizing into
action.
While nothin" has been said in the
press lately regarding the work being
done to bring the plans to conSum-
nation, great deal of hard work
has been done quietly by the execu-
tive committee appointed some time
ago by those who had, up to that time
subscribed TO the stock of the COM
pany. The Board of Trade has been
conducting a campaign by letter to
raise outside money, and the rep
resentatives of two of the railroads
interested in Brunswick's welfare
have been intensively active in aid.
ing in finding subscribers for the
stock.
One of them has notified the execu-
tive committee of the Brunswick sub
scribers that he has succeeded in
enlisting $500 of outside capital
Seventeen thousand dollars has al
ready been raised in Brunswick and
the committee has pledged to raise
the local subscriptions to $25 1000.
The company will not be organized
until $4,000 is subscribed and the
work will then be continued to raise
the entire amount of $4,000
AS the prospects are so good that
the portion of the capital to be raised
outside of Brunswick will be quickly
covered Mr.. MacGregor has come
to Brunswick to aid the executive
committee in closing up the matter
by getting quickly the additional sub
scriptions that the people of Bruins
wick must provide, as the time is
getting short in which the necessary
planting must be done, as trees can
be planted successfully only during
the dormant period, which frequently
ends in March.

The Twenty five Thousand Club
will be offered by those Brunswick
loving people who are respor,ible
for the great increase in industrial
enterprises as well as in many other
'liIiss' and these self same people
have made up their minds to make
the same success with the new or
ganization as they did with the others
which seems tc be an easy matter as
the ball has started and started in
real earnest.
The ladies of the city, 1t seems,
have become inbued with the Great
er Brunswick spirit and they will join
with the men folks in making the
new organization one of the greatest
in the history of the city. Lists were
out yesterday and will be out again
today and the remainder of the week
and everyone should consider it an
honor to sign anything which will
beefit their city and section.
If you have not already signed be
sure and ring up Judge Max Isaac
this morning and he will see that a
list is brought to yoirn place of busi-
ness or any convenient place.
One thing the new club is going to
ask, and that is the cooperation of
the labor element of the city. They
can do tremendous amount of
good If the labor people of the
United States elected president in
America as a whole they certainly
can do something in making patriot

great success because after all with

Re MAINS MAY
ARRIVE TO-DAY
GENERAL SORROW EXPRESSED
AT SAD DEATH OF A BRUINS
WICK SOLDIER.

Expressions of genuine sorrow
were heard on all sides yesterday
about the death of James McRae, a
we'll known Brunswickian, who en-
listed with the Brunswick Riflemen,
and with his son sought the border
to be there serving his country in
peace and war if it should chance
to come.
The remains of the dead soldier
will probably arrive here tomorrow
but this is anything save certain and
should definite hour for the arrival
be announced in advance it is need
less to say that many of the friends
of the dead man would be at the de-
pot to meet the same.
Oscar McRae, son of the de.
ceased. is expected at any time from
North Carolina where he is making
his home and has been for quite a
time. His other son. James McRae.
Jr., also member of the Riflemen
is accompanying tie body to this CITY
where it will be laid to rest with all
the honors due a patriotic American
OF course no funeral arrangements
have as yet been made but the re-
mains will be laid to rest in Oak
Grove cemetary beside his wife.

SHOP IN MORNING
IS MUCH EASIER
THE HOLIDAY RUSH is ON IN
DEAD EARNEST RIGHT
ABOUT NOW.

Merchants of the city generally
those who handle holiday goods, are
urging the public to shop early this
holiday and many are taking their
suggestion as there are so many good
reasons why it is to a great advan-
tage to both buyer and seller.
In the first place the assortment is
there now but growing smaller every
day and while you may be safe in
getting just what you want now that
same article may be gone tomorrow
or even this afternoon. Then too.
the clerks are in better mentally and
physical shape to handle you with
out a forced smile. They can make
suggestion much better before they
are tired out with shoppers and some
of these shoppers look over every
thing in the store before making a
purchase then some time return to
the very first article examined. Some
do not seem to think that the time
of the clerk is valuable at all times
especially just before Christmas.
There is little, If any, doubt but
that the coming holidays will be the
most successful in the history of
Brunswick merchandising. Not only
is this true of the trade the mer-
chants will receive from the local
people but it is the great country
trade which will make it 50. The
residents of the country adjacent to
Brunswick have learned that they
can pay railroad fare and other ex
penses and then save money by buy
ing in Brunswick.
But shop early or late--do your
buying at home. The local merchant
should certainly have the preference
over the mail order houses of the
North and East. In the first place they
are as cheap, quality Of goods consi
dered and then the Brunswick mer
chant is always here to right any and
ell wrongs in case there is any trou
BILE with goods you purch;ts". From
a civic standpoint you should trade
at home.

ATLANTA, Dec, 7.-Though the
Western and Atlantic commission to-
day adopted q resolution, the sense or
which was that nothing done in the
meetings now being held for tn pur-
pose of receiving bids will be made
public until the work is completed,
and it is utterly impossible to get even
faint line from them on what has
been submitted, it is practically G
foregone conclusion that the talk of
the extension Of the Western and At
lantic to the sea has petered out
Neither the William Hurd Hillyer
capitalistic interests nor the ]. A. j.
Henderson associates has filed yet
offer to construct the line. No others
have been dickeTing to that end, and
the time closed at noon Mr. Hender-
son has been nAtlanta two or three
days working on his proposition, but
evidently it did not materialize Mon
day he made the statement that he
would have something to give the
press if his plans were made ready,
but today he has nothing to say.
Railroad Officials Silent.
This afternoon President Milton
Smith, of the L. and NJ; John Howe
Peyton president Of the N, C and ST.
L.; Judge Walter and John Tyre, their
attorneys, were at tn capital and went
into conference with the Western and
Atlantic commission. None of these
gentlemen nor ay member of the com
missio would say what they talked
about in the conference, but there
was no other matter under considera-
ton in which they We're all interested
save the Off of the N, c.. and st. J..
to release the Western and Atlantic
railroad.
That there was no other offer of
lease made save the one from the
Louisville and Nashville interests, and
that the Louisville and Nashville
wants to retain use of the state road
more so than anybody else may be
taken as pretty conclusive from the
fact that no other railroad interests
was represented at all today in any OF
the deliberations. through curiousity
or otherwise, around that end of the
capital occupied by the commission.
On the assurance, therefore, it ap-
pears that the states railroad proper
ty will remain pretty much in its
present state. with the chances that
it will be in the same hands under the
new lease.

DISPATCHES LEFT DOUBT
impression Prevailed That With
The Fall of the Capital Also
Went the Army Which Had
Been Making Strong Stand

DISPATCHES LEFT DOUBT

The brief dispatches in which the
fall of Bucharest was announced left
in doubt the fate of the Roumanian
armies resisting the advance of the
Teutonic armies, but yesterdays Ger
man official statement, which reports
the defeated Roumanians retreating
on all fronts, indicates most OF them
escaped capture. Berlin says, how
ever, that 5000 Roumanians were
taken in the fighting.
No Last Stand.
1t has been assumed in most en-
tente quarters that there was no last
stand" by the Roumanians before
their capital and such news as has
trickled from German sources indi-
Gates that Bucharest was virtually de.
serted when the Teutonic forces en-
tered it.
The city is said to have been found
uninjured.
Military commentators in entente
capitals point to the probability that
the actions just prior to the capture
of Bucharest were fought merely
with a view of delaying the advance
of Field Marshal Won Mackensen' s
forces and aiding the main body OF
Roumanians.
Gets Closer to Russians.
German opinion is expressed to the
effect that the Roumanians have de
cided to abandon all Wallachia, the
main portion Of the Roumanian king
dom. and retire to Moldavia, -heiI
northeastern povince, where theii
front would be materially shortened
and where they would be in close
touch with the Russians.
The total captured of Roumanians
by the forces of the central powers
is reported to have been 100000
men.

from visit of the New York Ma
tional Guard on the Mexican border,
he gave it out that he wanted to see
Atlanta. which he did by several au-

whom he had in mind for warden of
the famous Sing Sing prison in New
York.
And evidently the information he
obtained concerning Warden Mayors

position was highly favorable to his
prospect, for the announcement
comes from Albany that Mayor has
been appointed to the position which
Warden Osborn resigned on October
Is.
Warden Mayer was removed from
the Federal Prison here because of
political reasons, according to his
friends. and has resided here during
the two years since he left the insti-
tuition. He was responsible for manv
reforms in prison management and
treatment of prisoners. and was high
