FREIGHT EN- BARGO
MAY CUT CITY OFF

The following telegram was receiv-
ed yesterday morning shortly before
noon by local freight agent: Strike
ordered by the organization of rail
way trainmen through the United
States calls for a cessation of the
movement of trains Monday morning
at o'clock Unless there is some
thing favorable in today's negotiations
it is probable there will be an embar-
go placed on all classes of freight
within the next "a hours"
Did something favorable appear in
the situation yesterday?
If there did not the embargo may
be placed on freight sometime today
and nothing can be shipped out of
Brunswick. Thus far no freight will
be consigned to this city as the or
der is to take effect through the coun-
try. The last freight to reach this
city will be that arriving Sunday un-
less some means are found for pre-
venting tie-up of trains.
Thus unless the tie-up can be pre-
vented Brunswick will be cut off
without necessary food supplies be-
ing on the way here. This will be true
4 60 ic
port because other cities will be cut
off in a similar way and they will
not send food supplies here even
though boats be available because they
will need them.
This telegram was sent out by an
official Of the Southern Railway at
Washington and received by an of
fetal of the same road here. But the
Southern road is not particularly con
cerned in this matter except as all
other roads are. 1t was sent merely
for the information of the people in
this vicinity wishing to make ship
ments that will reach their destination
! before the tie-up occurs.

company and sought to find out how

how long the supply of the city would

MAKES ADDRESS
FOR DR.. HARDMAN
HON. r. L. J SMITH SPOKE LAST
NIGHT IN INTEREST OF HARD
MANS CANDIDACY.

Hon. r. l.. J. Smith. of Commerce
addressed a fairly good-sized audi
ence at the city hall last night in the
| interest of the candidacy of DIR. l.. G.
Hardman for governor. Col Smith
is very graceful speaker; he has a
well rounded, well modulated voice
and having lived practically all of his
life in the same county with DR..
Hardman, he was easily at home with
his subject He paid special atten-
ton to all three Of the other candi-
dates for the office, but did so without
of them. The fact was stressed that
two Of the other candidates were for
merly solicitors general and that pub
lie opinion forced them to resign from
one Office to make the race for anoth-
er. The only claim OF one of these,
he said was that he had hanged a
man, while the other came back with
the retort that he had hanged twice
that many. Col Smith paid a tribute
to the Confederate veteran and dis.
claimed any intention OF having any
desire to fight any of them. He
thought however. that Governor Har.
ris should have kept his implied agree.
ment and remained out of the race
| this year.
The speaker then took up the public
and the private life Of DR.. Hardman
and showed that he was a successful
I business man and a churchman. He
had alway been liberal with is neigh
Dor and an employer of much labor,
he had never had any differences with
| any of his employees. while all of them
signed petition asking him to make
the race Col Smith referred to the
| fact that It was DR.. Hardman's legis.
'ation that created the state sani-
| torium for tuberculosis at Alto: that
he was instrumental in the establish.
| ing of state agricultural colleges in
every congressional district In the
state and that his whole course in
the legislature had been along con.
jstruetfve lines. He was given the
verv closest attention during his talk
and after an eloquent peroration, in
which he plead for his favorite. he
| closed his address.

mort that all sixteen of the men who

1t Vas stated that a demand had been
made on local officers to again arrest
the men, it being claimed that be-
cause they are under bond for violat-

right to continue to violate it. How
ever. it was only reported that they
were again fishing and no steps toward
a second arrest were taken.

was stated that the law which prohi-
bits people who are not citizens of
the state from fishing in Georgia wa
ters, it was stated that the law had
not previously been enforced by in
structions fro mthe state game com
missioner. The real reason, it ap-
pears, is that, until the present, ses-
sion of the legislature the lines OF
Georgia had never been established
and for that reason the law could not
be enforced. These lines were estab.

CONv|CTS BEGIN
WORKING STREETS
WORK WILL LIKELY BE BEGUN
ON CITY STREETS SOMETIME
THIS WEEK.

The convicts of the county will ar
rive in Brunswick this week to begin
work on the streets of the city ac-
cording to d statement made yesterday
by G. D. Ogg, chairman of the coun-
ty commissioners. 1t is understood
that they will begin work in the
city on Saturday.
Chairman Ogg stated yesterday that
he had no idea as to how the new
law passed by last Legislature would
affect the use of convicts in Glynn
county Under the old law convicts
were allotted to each county accord,
ing to its population, but under the
new law they will be allotted accord
ing to the road mileage in he coun
ty.
A number of the small counties
with large populations have raised a
howl An effort is being made to
make the law apply with the mileage
of the streets counting as road mil
cage. Whether this can be done is not
yet known.
1t is likely that Glynn county Will
be affected by the change. Also the
city of Brunswick is expected to be
affected Chairman Ogg stated yes
terday that as he had not received
a copy of the changed law he was in
no position to say exactly what effect
it would have 1t was stated that the
roads of the county had been meas
ured and would be forwarded to the
authorities as soon as the request fof
it was made.
