Five Hundred Favorable Votes

Should Remember This.

Glynn county is about to &C the
CITY of Brunswick one better in the

To-Day by making the vote unanimously

against bonds that they could literally
b counted on the fingers Of the two
hands. there being exactly ten. In
fact. the names are recorded or the
backs cf envelopes in the pockets of
numerous progressive citizens. Though
very thorough canvass of the VOC
er. of the county has been made by
tho campaign committee OF one nun
Gred and twenty-five, some CT the
ccmm ;tteemen having seen as high as
ninetv-nine per cent of the names as
signed them and found them unan-
inously in favor of bends. the meeting
Of the campaign committee developed
only seven names to date whc were

II is k.eenIv recognized by the Ian,
ragn committee that there is no dE..u
ger of the defeat of the bond ISSUE
but cnly danger of over-cCnfidence
which may result in so many voters
staying away from the polls Wednes-
day, because they think the approx
al of bonds a certainty, as to result
in no elect on. The law requires that
t. carry bond issue. two-thirds Of
those voting must east their ballots
in favor Of issuing bonds. and that
this tWo-thirds must constitute M
jority of the tctal registered vote. A
majority Of the registered voters of
Glynn county is about $50. If practl-
cally all OF the registered voters go
to the polls, the twC-thirds favorable
vote will require about AGO votes. pro
vided the vote is unanimously in ia
vCr of bonds. A very few votes
against the issue will make t neces-
aary to have in the neighborhood Of
soc favorable votes to make the cleo
tior legal
For this reason, the campaign com.
mittee is very active. ana. at their
