Or T. +. Abererombie, local com

ment declaring that not a case OF the
dreaded inlantile paralysis exists in
Brunswick. Thus. again does this
city come forward as one place
where the iseases which are epidcm

their appearance. However, no chances
are being taken and every precautiou
is being exercised TO n'esent the
spread OF the disease to Brunswick
and Glynn county.
Infantilc paralysis while no more

THANKS, Mr., MAYOR.

We very much appreciate the fol-
loving letter from Mayor Pierpont.
Of Savannah. for the reason that It is
. very Glen cut case OF an honest
Official expressing an appreciation Of
the effort to enforce Law in a com
munity, in which in the past, law en-
forcement mas not been a very strong
feature.
We do not believe that the Georgia
legislature is going TO countenance
the movement inaugursted b. the
Chatham delegation to Dust Mayor
Pierpont and MS board Of aldermen
and sc are sure we voice the senti-
meat Of thousands of Georglans on
The subject.
Mayor Pierponfs letter is as fol-
lows:
Savannah, Ca, July 10. 1916.
Hon c. n. Leavy. Editor. The News,
Brunswick. Ga.
Ny Dear Sir: l wish to express
my sincere appreciation Of the sew
eral forceful editorials which have
appeared in The News. bearing on
the Savannah situation They have
been OF much assistance in shaping
public opinion and in bringing to
bear upon the legislature forces that
probably cannot be resisted.
1T IS more than gratifying to feel
that the neighbors Of Savannah realize
the true intent Of the attempted leg
islalion at Atlanta and are willing to
join hands with the law enforcement
people here in an effort to prevent
he throwing back OF Savannah into
the conditions from which 1t has but
recently emerged. Such editorials az
yours have done much to clarity the
public mind and present the Savan-
nah situation just as ii is once that
was done 1t was inevitable that pub
lie o1jniou outside OF Savannah Should
support those here who are honestly
and determinedly seeking to redeem
Savannah from the mistakes Of the
past and place it where it belongs as
q leader in obedience to the laws Of
It's state.
1t is a pleasure to know that the
legislators from Brunswick are op.
posed TO any such legislation as is
under consideration at this time al.
CactIng the Savannah situation.
Il also wish to assure you aud ali
othf friends that this admiration
viii have bur one purpose in mind,
that OF completely iustiiying the con
ildenee that has been shown in A.
il viii not t3lter in It's duty nos Will
II permit IT'S officials and employees
to hesitate one moment IN enforce
ment OF the laws that are now Tia,
real issue between 1t and It's oppo
ncnts.

RAILROAD SITUATION.

Many are inquiring about the rail-
road proposition and to be brief and
pointed we make the following state.
ment: There seems to be no obstruc-
ton except securing the right of way.
The committee does not feel justified
IN entering a contract for unknown
quantity and must be convinced of
reasonable concessions from the peo-
pie through whose lands it is built.
so far nearly everybody along all the
proposed lines are signing the right of
way, but the work has not gone far
enough to determine the actual con-
dltion that may be encountered. By
BY some mistake an impression is out
Ghat the committee had given the
money to the promoters of the road
that was intended to pay for the
rights now sought. That impression
is wrong. No sum of money has ever
been agreed on for right of way. The
people of this section are to give $780,
600 and right Of way. To get the road
we will be compelled to do this or
lose it. There is no fund levied or
collected for such a purpose. The
men who have subscribed most for this
enterprise are the ones largely who
viii be compelled to pay the expense
OF such rights if the people are I'M
willing to give them 1t will be the
darkest hour for this section that has
yet been experienced when this prop.
osition is dropped or the brightest
when it is secured. Get busy on both
lines and secure as many rights of way
as you can. There may be cases where
reasonable pay should be made in that
event it seems that those interested
in that particular road should make
up the money and do the right thing.
To make a long story short: We are
going to build the road and if the peo-
pie on the Campbellsville line want it
and also on the Greensburg line, we
say get busy for the line of least re-
sistance is the most pleasant to fol-
low. DR.. Hunter will be here this
week and then definite understand
ing of legal force will authorize work
to begin at an early day.

The LOl0red Normal School.

Prof. 81. E. Goodloe, of Perryville,
KY, taught very successful Normal
School at Columbia, KY, during the
past three months. The work Of the
applicants in the May examination
showed with what skill the school had
been taught.
Prof. Goodloe is an excellent teacher
and his instructions were an eloquent
appeal to the teachers to give them
selves to the task of building a race
from the bottom, by never allowing an
opportunity to slip to better their
condition. He urged them never to
be satisfied unless they were making
real progress.
Rev. T. B. Lasley did great work
for the school by asking all who were
interested in school work to donate
something to support the school. His
white friends donated s15.25, the col
ored 1856, total amount 500 80
The teachers wish to thank both
white and colored, and also Rev. Las
ley for their assistance. =
We firmly believe where there is a
will there is way.

Left the Small Change.

A thief, in way that appears pecu-
liar, got into Nell & Hills grocery
store last Friday night, and the cash
drawer and paper sack containing
the show money we're tapped. Mr..
Nell had put the show money in pa
per sack, placing it in a desk where
he keeps his bills. The thief got the
quarters and halves out of the sack,
leaving the dimes and nickels The
cash drawer was also robbed in a like
manner, the thief leaving about five
dollars in pennies. Not a thing in
the way of groceries was missed. The
thief could not have entered through
the basement window, as it was nailed
on the inside. Evidently the robber
got into the basement from the inside,
while the show was in progress, and
went out the basement window. No
clue.
