.P|ERPONT WILL
WIN IN FIGHT
THIS is THE OPINION OF SENA-
TOR AKIN, WHO is NOW
IN THE CITY.

"While the fight is going to be a
hard and spirited one, still | believe
Mayor Pierpont of Savannah will win
out in his fight" was the statement
made yesterday by Senator L. r.
Akin, who came down from Atlanta,
to spend a few days in the city on bus
mess.
Mr. Akin explained that the mat
ter was now in the senate, and while
he expected a close vote, he express
ed the belief that the bill legislating
the Savannah chief executive out of
Office would be killed in the senate,
thus ending the fight. He stated, how
ever, that the fight was being stub
bornly waged, that both the Savannah
factions were strongly represented
and that every possible effort for the
passage and defeat of the recall meas
ure was being brought to bear.
Concerning other measures, Sena-
tor Akin stated that he believed the
legislature was going slow this year
in the matter of enacting new legisla-
tion, and outside of the Savannah fight
he did not anticipate any lively con
tests over bills in either branch of
the lawmaking body.

BIC CREOSOTE
PLANT To SOON
Be OPERATED
Reported Yesterday That Own
ers Were Making Arrange
mentS to Start Plant Within
Few Weeks.

1t was stated in somewhat semi
official way yesterday that the local
plant of the Georgia Creosoting COM
pany would be put into full operation
within the next month. and, while
there was no way to get a statement
from any of the high officials of the
company, the report came in such a
way as to indicate that there was
something really in it,
1t is well known fact that i'm
provement work has been on at the
big plant for the past several weeks,
or ever isnce the plant was purchased
from the Brunswick Creosoting com-
pany by the present owners. and it
is also known that this work has just
about been completed. The entire
plant has undergone general over
hauling and everything is now said
to be in tip-tOp condition.
The report in circulation here yes
terday was to the effect that, as all
of the improvements had been com
pleted, the company had started to
work to get the plant in active opera
ton and that it was generally expect
ed that it would be running within a
few weeks, probably by or before Au
gust Is.
This announcement will be welcom-
ed by the people of the city generally,
who are anxious to see this big indus
trv oot ctartad AltbOuph the nIant
was completed many months ago, it
was never operated by its former own
ers for the simple reason that the
European war came along just about
the time the plant was completed and
it was impossible to get the necessary
oil with which to operate the plant.
Some official announcement from
the company is expected within
short time.

that residents along the frontier near

Extent of Ground Gained Not
Great But Proves Ability
TO Make Advances.
CAN NOW ATTACK ENEMY
ON FLANK If DESIRED
French Can Pour 1t Into Flank
On South-Russians Still
Heavily Engaged.

LONDON. July 12.-Although the
extent of ground which has been gain
ed by the British offensive is not great
there is general satisfaction in Eng
land at the success attained by the
army of General Haig during the
twelve days OF fighting and the be-
lief exists that the adjusted positions
now occupied will make possible
greater achievements.
The capture OF ContalmaisOn, Nam
eIz and TroneS woods gives the Brit
ish line running almost due east and
west, SO that the Germans to the
north can be attacked on the flank
when the guns are brought up for the
second phase of the operations.
To the south of the river the French
are in position somewhat similar
to the British, and likewise can at
tack on Verdun, they have captured
and Estrees. For the moment, how
ever the two armies are engaged in
preparing their new positions. While
the Germans are renewing their at
tacks on Verdun, they have captured
Damloup battery, which they held for
a time at the beginning Of June. This
position is the point farthe5t from
Verdun in the French line of defenses
SO that its loss is not taken seriously
by the French commander
In the east the Russians are engag-
ed in heavy battles in the extreme
northwestern corner of Bukowina
where they are inflicting further de-
feats on the army of General Pflan-
ger, now cut off from General Won
Bothmer's forces to the north, and
also along the Stokhod river. where
the Austrians and Germans are put
ting up formidable resistance. The
Stokhod is a shallow river but marsh
es on either side impede movements
of troops and guns. Across the river
fighting is in progress near Svidniki,
while to the southeast another force
is advancing on Kovel.

BILL IS FAVORED
BY LOCAL PEOPLE
MEASURE TO PREVENT JUDGES
HOLDING ONE OFFICE AND
RUNNING FOR ANOTHER.

Brunswick lawyers and business
people generally are greatly interest
ed in the bill which has been intro
duced in the legislature, which, II
enacted into law. will prevent SUI
perior court Judge from running for
any other Office while holding such
Office Many arguments in favor of
the bill have been advanced and,
Judging from the comment in all sec
tions of the state, it is believed the
measure is favored by vast majority
of the people.
The bill is simply intended to force
superior court Judges, who are draw
ing "A salary from the state treasury.
TO attend to their duties as presiding
Judges and not enter other political
affrays while on the bench. II is
pointed ont that a superior court judge
supposed to dish out even justice
to all people alike. cannot possibly
do this if they are candidates for some
other office, and already it has been
pointed out that judges have been
known to treat lawyers, who happen
to be opposed TO them politically, dis
courteously.
A visitor to Brunswick yesterday,
in discussing this new bill, made

BOND ELECTION
IS CALLED BY
CAMOENCOUNTY
People of the County to Vote
Bonds for Money to Build
Bridge Over the Satilla River
Soon.

The commissioners of roads and
revenues of Camden county have or
dered a bond election to be held on
September u TO authorize the con-
struction Of a bridge across the Sa-
lila river just above Woodbine, and
which will add an important link in
the Dixie Highway between Bruins
wick and Jacksonville.
This action was taken by the Cam
den county commissioners at their
last meeting, and the vote on whether
or not a bond election should be call
ed was unanimous ~very member of
the board favoring the construction of
the bridge.
II will be remembered that when
The officers and directors of the Dixie
Highway made a trip over the route
several months ago they experienced
considerable trouble in crossing tho
Satilla river at Woodbine A small
storm prevailed at the time, making
the work OF crossing the river on
ferry boats very dangerous and caus-
ed the tourists much delay. A move
was started at that time for bridge
across the river, and the importance
of such bridge was urged upon Cam
den county Savannah and Brunswick
agreed to assist in any way possible,
and Camden county at once took up
the matter, and, although it has been
discussed nc action was taken by the
commissioners until their last meet
ing.
1t is generally believed that the
bond issue will easily carry and it is
hoped to have the bridge constructed
before the opening of the tourist sea
son this winter. 1t will mean the
saving Of much time between Bruins
wick and Jacksonville, and at the
same time will prove q great conven-
ience to the hundreds of automobile
tourists travelling over the Dixie High
way.
