Delegates From Along Coast
Route to Hold a Session in
This City.
PRESIDENT ALLISON COMING
lie and a Number of the COM
missiOnefs Will Attend Meet
ing to be Held Here Prob
ably on Labor Day.

A general meeting of the Dixie
Highway commissioners and all those
interested along the entire route be-
tween Savannah and Jacksonville,
will be held in Brunswick either on
Saturday, Sept. l, or on Monday,
Sept. 3, Labor Day, the exact date
to be decided within the next few
days.
This information was received in
the city yesterday, when letters came
from both Hon. Clark Howell, OF At
lanta, and Hon. w. r. Anderson, of
Macon, the two Georgia commission
ers, who stated in their letters that
a meeting of all those interested
between Fitzgerald and Jacksonville
would be held on August 81, and that
Brunswick, being the central point
on the coast leg of the route, had
been decided upon for a second meet
ing
An inspection of the entire route
!,
beginning Aug. 80. President Alli-
son. of the association, will start out
from Chattanooga and make the en-
tire trip, and he. will be joined at
different places by various commits
sioners.
The Brunswick Board of Trade will
at once take up the matter of hand,
ling the local meeting, and Jackson
vile and Savannah will both coop
crate. Large delegations will be sent
to the city from both these places
while all counties between Jackson
vile and Savannah will be represent
ed by large delegations. Darien
Woodbine, White Oak and a number
of other smaller places ON the route
will also be represented.
President Allison is now endeavor
ing to secure a federal appropriation
for the Dixie Highway, and this in
spection trip is to be made for the
purpose of putting up to the people
along the route just what is needed
and Just what must be done in order
to get assistance from the govern
ment. At the local meeting a num-
Der Of addresses will be made and it
promises to be one of the most in
teresting of the several to be held
during the tour.
Mr.. Howell stated in his letter that
the meeting should be arranged for
Saturday, Sept. /, while Mr.. Ander-
son stated that Monday, Sept g.,
would be the date. 1t is likely that
the latter date is the correct one,
as the commissioners are to meet in
Waycross on Friday, Aug. 81, and it
will probably be Monday before they
can make the trip to Jacksonville
and then return to Brunswick.
AS stated, the local Board of Trade
will at once complete arrangements
for the local meeting.

TEXT Of P0Pt'S
OFFER IS RECEIVED
DOES NOT FURNISH GROUNDS
UPON WHICH THERE CAN
BE A CHANGE.

Washington, Aug. 16-The text of
the pope's peace proposal was receiv-
ed by the state department early to-
day. 1t discloses that it does not
differ with the unofficial outline
which has been previously received
and given publication.
The publication of the text gave
the entente diplomats the opportunity
to more closely study the contents.
but the official comment is withheld
until the official copy is received.
The text served to strengthen the
prevalent opinion that there is no
likelihood of the proposal being ac-
cepted in its present form.

Wall Street Journals Special
Correspondent Writes of
Brunswick.
SEES A GREAT CITY HERE
Financial Paper De-
votes Much Space to Growth
and Development OF This
Port.

The following interesting story ap
peared in the Wall Street Journal of
August Is. 1t only serves to indi
cate that Brunswick is receiving
some very fine publicity these days
in the greatest commercial magazines
OF the country:
The city Of Brunswick began to
feel after long stagnation the effec;
of the industrial development of the
south before the war began. Theo
dore N. Vail, president of the South
ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
company, who has been for some
years a sojourner in the early spring
at Jekyl Island, was keenly interest
ed in Brunswick, sometimes stopping
over there when passing through on
his way to Jekyl so that he might gain
information respecting the Industrial
and commercial possibilities of that
city. He learned, as others did, that
there had been ups and downs in the
industrial and commerciay life
the city. There was disappointment,
when the railroad was. extended from
Birmingham and Atlanta to Bruins
wick since the traffic which was
looked for did not come. But a
year or two before the war began
there began industrial developments
at Brunswick and a considerable
commerce, part Of it with Porto Rico
and the railroad gained much traffic
Men of science had revealed con
fidentially, a process by means OF
which there could be extracted from
the stumps which remained after the
pine forests had been cut down, at
low cost, large amounts of rosin and
other products. This has developed
into a large industry. New York cap
ital was persuaded that at Brunswick
there was excellent opportunity for
profitable investment in a shipbuild
ing plant and the original investment
has been within year doubled. Now
the report comes from Brunswick to
leaders in the financial district which
shows that it has already become an
important shipbuilding center. With
in the past eight months there have
been constructed at Brunswick ship
yards many vessels, all of them large
enough for ocean service, and prob
ably before the end of the year con-
tracts with the United States Ship
ping Board will be executed calling
for 25 additional vessels.
One of the phenomenal achieve
ments reported from Brunswick was
the building of a schooner christened
the Glynn which was able to receive
cargo of rosin which was manufac
tured by the secret Brunswick pro
cess and whose destination was the
war zone in Europe. So convenient
was the shipyard that the 5000 bar
rels of rosin were taken aboard the
vessel as she lay in deep water only
"a few feet distant from the ways
from which she was launched This
and recently delivered at a port in
Italy the 5000 barrels of rosin, a
commodity of which Italy stood great
ly in need

Illustrating the Idea

A school inspector was examining a class in grammar, and trying to eluci- date the complex relations of adjec- itves and nouns by a telling example "Now, for instance" said he, "what am I,'
 That was an easy question and all the children shouted:
 "A man." and then looked around triumphantly.
 "Yes, but what else?" said the in- spector.
 This was not so easy, but after a pause boy ventured to suggest:
 "A little man."
 "Yes, but there is something more than that"
 This was a poser, but at last an in fant phenomenon almost leaped from his seat in his eagerness and cried:
 "Please, sir, I know, sir-an ugly little man."
