The sugar situation in Brunswick

MUCH INTEREST
IN BOND ISSUE
CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS TAKE Ac,.
TIVE PART IN FIGHT TO
CARRY HOSPITAL BONDS

In behal f of the board of directors
of the city hospital, DR.. r. L. Fox,
who is the medical director of. that
institution, appeared before meeting
of the local Woman's Club yesterday
afternoon for the. purpose of enlisting
its aid in the campaign to carry
through successfully the proposed
$4,000 bond issue for badly needed
improvements and additions to the
hospital building and equipment.
After Dr. Fox had outlined the i'm
perative necessity for the improve
ments asked for, the Woman's Club
passed resolution pledging the or
ganization to render every assistance
possible in the campaign that will
be conducted in behalf of the pro-
posed issue, which is to be passed
upon by the voters of Brunswick on
June g.
The hospital authorities have ali
ready enlisted the cooperation of the
Brunswick board Of trade and COM
mittee is to meet with the Parent
Teacher Association at an early date.
and this organization will also be
asked to assist in the fight.
Leading citizens of the city, who
are familiar with existing conditions
at the city hospital, which is the only
institution of the kind in Brunswick,
and who realize the absolute neces-
sity for better facilities and more ac-
commodations. are openly in favor
of the issuance of bonds to supply the
needed improvements, and are &C.
lively at work for the success. of the
issue. a, .f*
, NO EXPRESSED opposition to bonds
has developed up. to the present time,
and the only obstacle expected is
that which Is likely to result, from
carelessness or lack Of interset. The
civic organizations Of the CITY will
conduct combined fight in behalf Of
the issue. and will very likely base
their activities on a campaign to ac-
quaint the voters of the necessity
for the, improvements, and to arouse
their interest in the subject. the sue
cess of which means great deal to
every citizen of the city.

After having made considerable
progress toward clearing the docket
of the unusually large number of
criminal cases, the May term of the
city court adjourned yesterday after
noon land the jurors were excused,
but notice was given that the court
world be re-onvened at an early date,
when the criminal docket will be
cleared.
Quite numbr of interesting cases
have been up for trial this week, and
the violators of the state prohibition
law have Jared rather badly at the
hands of the court, fines ranging from
$500 to $1,000 having been imposed
on offenders convicted of this crime
Among the cases disposed of was
that of the State VS.. Herbert Owens
violating prohibition law, which was
stubbornly contested. The jury
brought in verdict of guilty and a
fine of $500, including costs, was i'm
posed. Attorneys for Owens filed a
motion for new trial.
Another case in which the oppos
ing attorneys conducted a hard fight
was that against George Ponder, a
well-known colored citizen, who was
also before the court on charge OF
violating the prohibition law. The
principal testimony against Ponder
was given by Officer Joe Williams
who stated that he had kept close
watch on the home of the defendant
and that he had caught him in the
act of entering his house with jug

Washington, May 12.-The conges-

principal railroad terminals all over
the country is probably the worst
that has been experienced since the
hard winter of 1917, and is beginning
to be felt in business and commerce
in all parts of the United States.
Appeals for relief are pouring into
Washington picturing bigj railroad
gateways choked with thousands OF
loaded freight cars, which the rail-
roads are unable to move because OF
shortage of both men and motive
power.
These appeals predict that unless
the jam is broken and some relief
from the serious situation is provided
at once, it will be reflected more than
ever in decreased production and in
the general slowing down of indus
try, and also state that there will
probably be big labor turnover as
a result of the existing congestion.
