BRUNSWICK'S POPULATION
TREBLED SINCE YEAR 1917

Atlanta, Ga.-That the population
of the city of Brunswick, Ga, has
practically trebled since America $
entrance into the war, and that most
of this new population will be per-
manent, was the statement made here
yesterday by M. E. Brewster, editor
of the Brunswick Evening Banner,
who was in Atlanta to purchase new
equipment for that enterprising news,
paper, which he and group of asso.
ciates recently purchased.
Two of the big shipbuilding yards
at Brunswick have big contracts for
the American and French govern
ments," said Mr. Brewster" and these
will keep them busy for many months
yet. Although the picric acid plant
is temporarily shut down, it repres-
ents an investment of six million dol
lars, and will soon be reorganized
for future operation as privately
owned plant. The Standard Oil
Company is building great system
OF docks along a three-mi1e river
front, where ocean steamers will
berth Taken all in all, Brunswick
present population of nearly $4,000
is practically certain to be permanent.
The city's outlook is wonderfully
bright and promising"
Mr.. Brewster is North Georgia
man who went to Brunswick some
years ago and has made a remarkable
success in newspaper work in that
city.

All Sailors Superstitious.

All sailors are superstitious, but
none is so completely under this in
1uence as the old deep-sea fisherman.
He puts the deepest faith in "signs"
and omens of all kinds. Nothing would
induce a skipper of the old school to
sail on Friday. One intrepid unbe-
lever who dared to leave the docks at
Grimsby, England, on a Good Friday
was hooted through the lock gates by
the scandalized populace. In spite of
thus challenging the fates, however, he
returned safely with ship and crew.

Assn DISPLAYED.

Undoubtedly one of the most in.
portant movements ever launched in
Americus was the organization Of the
Retail Merchants Association at lhe
court house last night. A more rep.
resentative gathering of business men
would be hard to find and practically
every retail establishment of any con-
sequence in the city was we'll repre-
sented.
Cooperation and loyalty TO the de-
mands of our Government in its war
activities were the key notes wsics
predominated throughout the meeting
and it is safe to assume that the
merchant or individual in Americas
who does not fall in line on the VAR
ious movements to be inaugurated is
going to have rather a hard road to
travel
The following prominent officer>
were elected:
J. E. Poole, SPresident.
d. R. Andrews. President.
Jos. Perkins. Secretary and Treas
urer.
Various committees were authorized
by resolutions adopted and these com
mittees will be announced by Presi-
dent Poole within the next few days.
More than fifty retail establishments
enrolled as members at the meeting
last night and the membership com
mittee will at once cali upon those
merchants who were not present and
give them an opportunity to enroll
before the list of members is publish
ed in Sundays paper.
It is confidently expected that not
a single merchant in Americus who
has the best interest of his town and
nation at heart will refuse to lend
his full support to this important and
necessary movement which has for its
prime object cooperation in the in
terest of our nations war plans.
The next meeting of the association
has been called for Thursday night
October 3. at the court house In the

agreed upon will be announced in

German Soldier Diary

women and young girls from Aertryke
have been working on the concrete
shelters of Leke. AS Leke is in the
zone of fire and has been bombarded
not later than yesterday, do not un-
derstand once more the authorities.
If that measure has mt been taken as
reprisals it constitutes for Germany a
monument of shame so great that it is
not possible to conceive a gerater one.
Three or four weeks ago they drove
out the civil population of Leke. and
now they oblige women and children
to work on concrete shelters of the
village. 1t is shame that this meas

retary of War, at the suggestion of
the War Department and the Commit

the relations of the 10000, 900 Negroes
in this country with the general gov
ernment itself, and to discuss ways
and means how each might cooperate
most effectively in the work of win
ming the present worldwide war, is
bearing fruit. Three results of the
most significant character have been
worked out within the past fortnight
that fully justify the holding of the

far-reaching are well on their way
toward satisfactory conclusion.

None can ask more of any fighting
force than that they should do as well
as you have DONE" he said to his

wished he could talk personally with

but this was impossible. SO he asked

and say to each individual man: "The

eight lynchings each to their credit;

South Carolina, one each
These figures tell their own story
and register testimony that does not
add power to this nations boast of
civilization and love for democracy
This kind of treatment of the nation
towards its own citizens at home is
compelled to embarrass its protested
love and interest in the rights and
liberties of oppressed peoples across
the seas. Capitalization of power in
the various departments of our Ma
tional Government has added i'm
mensely to the efficiency with which
we are waging war for democracy
That this Capitalization and peremp-
tory use Of power to meet emergen-
cies and to cope with the world situa-
tion cannot be used to suppress law
lessness and the brutal taking of hui
man lives right here at home, seems
anomalous. And yet the race that fur
nishes the victims for such barbarous
crimes against law and justice is ex-
hibiting type of loyalty and patriot
ism that is not equalled by any class
of the nations citizenship. and which
shall be the wonder of coming genera
tions.
