SAVANNAH ROAD REPORTED
TO BE IN BAD CONDITION

Persons arriving in the city by au-
tomobile from Savannah yesterday re-
port thta the highway between that
city and Darien is in pretty bad shape,
as result of the recent heavy rains
although the road is not impossible,
and 1t is possible to get through with
but little difficulty.
The greater part of the road, in
fact, is in excellent condition. and
it is only isolated spots that have
been put in bad order by the rains.
These places are being given prompt
attention by the maintenance crews
of the state highway department, and
1t Is said thta a few days OF sunshine
will put hte road for the entire dis
tance in splendid shape for automobile
travel.
Between Darien and Brunswick there
is not single bad place to impede
travel. and scores OF Brunswick motor
lists will very probably drive over to
the Mcintosh county town during the
day.

WATERMELON SEASON
IS ABOUT OVER

During the past several weeks
Brunswick has been a profitable mar
ket for the watermelon growers of
Georgia. and local dealers say there
is still a strong demand for this mS-
oious Georgia product. although the
season Is about over, and It Is hard
TO procure melons cf salable condi-
ton. While exact hEures are not
available. car load after car load Of
watermelons have been shipped to
Brunswick this season from other sec
items Of Georgia. only an inhnitesimal
portion of the local demand having
been supplied from Glynn county
farms. This. too. In spite OF the fact
that the soil OF Glynn county Is cap
able az producing the very finest vari.
ETY. az melons. II would be interesting
to know the exact amount Of money
that has gone TO other counties for
this product. which might just as we'll
remained here 70 contribute TO the
prosperity OF Brunswick and the coun-
ty. And watermelons are, by no
means. the only product which Bruins.
wick buys from other sections which
might much more prohtshly be pro-
duced within the connnes Of this
county.

parts, much of which, it is said, is
coming from tourists passing through
the city.
The local automobile dealers are
in an optimistic frame OF mind, and
are preparing for an active season

Der of tourists coming through is stim-
ulating the trade in parts and acces-
sories, and is keepin gthe gasoline

An additional tax burden on the

posed in the Georgia senate, by the

THE SITUATION Ii LYNN

A Number of Persons Under
Suspicion of Being Engaged
in Running the Liquor Block
ade Are Coming into the City
Armed With Shotguns, and
are Making Open Threats to
Use Them.


With the activities of the county
policemen, the sheriff's office and the
city police department making it in.
creasingly difficult for operators OF
illicit whiskey stills in the Brunswick
territory to market their illegal pro,
duct in this city, a tense and serious
situation is rapidly developing ac.
cording to persons in close touch with
the existing conditions.
1t is feared that unless decisive
steps are taken at once to end the
present state of armed hostility, ser.
ious trouble, and possible bloodshed.
will result. 1t is reported to The
News that persons known to the Off.
GERS as being engaged in whiskey
running are coming into the city arm
ed with shot-guns, and make no Sc
cret of the fact that they are prepared
to resist possible search of their
cars.
1t is said that no less than a half
dozen automobiles suspected of being
engaged in transporting whiskey,
with the occupants heavily armed,
came into Brunswick yesterday, and
that threats have been openly made
that any officer attempting to make a
legal search, or seizure. viii be met

When asked about these reports
county officers admitted that in the
past few weeks number OF suspect
ed whiskey runners had been seen
armed with shot guns, and that they
had been threatened with armed re-
sistance from several sources. How
ever. the officers state that there will
be no let-up in the rigid enforcement
OF the prohibition laws, and that
searches of suspected automobiles
will be continued.
There Is no doubt of the fact that 1t
is @ore difficult to procure whlskey
in Brunswick now than at any time
since the national prohibition law
went into effect, and that only the
most hardened and dangerous dealers
in the forbidden beverages are per-
sisting in bringing in whiskey. II is
this fact thta makes the situation so
fraught with danger. with possible Sc
rious consequences.
