WORKING TO BRIDGE
TIE ALTAMAHA RIVER

Waycross, Oct 13.-Mayor Scott T.

four to work in conjunction with the
Altamaha River bridge committee.
1t will he the duty of this committee
which is composed of the following
gentlemen: d. NJ Parker, A. B. Mason,
b. S. Gibson and Benz. G. Parks, to
help decide upon a. location for the
bridge, to promote the sale of the
bods, etc This is a strong com nittee
and they have a very important work,
as the building of bridge over the
Altamaha will insure a good highway
between Waycross and Savannah. A
highway between these two important
points would mean that a great many
of the tourist who go to Florida by au-
tOmObile over the eastern branch of
the Dixie Highway would come by
WaycrOss and eliminate all ferries; it
would mean that during the summer
months hundreds of owners of cars all
over South Georgia would go to Sa-
yaannah in cars for the week end in
order to enjoy her beaches. and also
give Savannah a great deal of trade
that is at present going to Jackson =

USE OF FOREIGN SHIPS.

On the fifteenth OF this month the
government of the United States will
requisition all American vessels OF
$500 tons or more, whether engaged
in the fCreivn or coastwise trade and
direct their movements. Of course a
/ large number Of them will pc left with
the companies that own them, to CON
tinue on their usual runs. But it is
doubtless true that a much larger
. number will be used in the foreign
/ trade than are now used in it. This
will mean decrease in tie vessels en-
gageh in the coastwise traie of the
Tilted States and the nucber may be
decreased to such an extent as to Grip

We think it would be better to per

NORWICH GIRLS CLOe.
Members Will Teach Local Girls the
 Art of Knitting.

A large number of the members of the Norwich Girls club met in their rooms in the Thayer building Tuesday evening to knit for the soldiers and sailors. The girls have accomplished much along these lines and the work is greatly appreciated.
 To further work of knitting for those in the U. s. service, the club has been discussing plans for a knitting school. The object of the school is to teach those girls who are willing to help in the work but do not know how to knit. The school will meet in the Girls club rooms on certain evenings in the week and those who wish to learn will have an opportunity to be instructed by competent instructors.
 The idea is an excellent one, as it will greatly add to the force of young ladies who are doing their~bit in help ing the ration win it's battles by add ing to the comfort of the soldiers and sailors
