Well Known BrunsWickian in
Most Convincing Fashion De-

Courteous, is UnansWerable.
A week or ten days ago Mayor Muir
ray Stewart of Savannah, very much
20 the surprice of the. people OF Bruins
wick, sought in the public press OF
Savannah to repudiate Savannah's OBJ
,igation to Brunswick in connection
with the Darien bridge.
Mayor. Stewart not only charged
| that Savannah did not owe this money
90 Brunswick, but en- the contrary
| brunswick really owed Savannah, for
whatever sum she had put into the
purchase OF the bridget!
Such statements were so at vari-
ance with the real facts in the case,
that Brunswick people were both
shocked and grieyed at thel...
Yesterday Hon. f. K. Twitty, splen-
did BfunsWickian, VINO is familiar
with every detail OF the situation, sent
a letter to Mayor Stewart, which is
most convincing and ought u impress
the Mayor with the fact that he is
wrong and that he has done Bruins
wick a grave injustice.
Mr.. Twittys letter is as follows:
Il have read with much interest
your two communications TO the Sa
vannah Morning News, one published
! in the issue OF the 3rd and the other
in the issue of the 5th In the former
communication you make the follow.
ing statement:
| - AN effort mas, been made from time
TO hme by the people OF BruIiswlck To
create the impression that savannah
had guaranteed, the balance OF $l5,-
10000 they desired us ~ -.aise, but no
one connected with IL slaovement III
Savannah can be fouD.. who knows Oh
any such guarantee
The Board of Trade has endeavor-
ed to raise this moerey and succeeded
in raising part Of it, which has been
sent to Brunswick.
q If the Young Mems Tub of Bruins
wick have signed any :..'te for $4,000
90 the baiancezs-of thu. $4,000 Bruins
wick begged SAVANNAH o raise for the
bridge, by telling ti.ese young men
that they had this money guaranteed
by any one in Savannah, then they
have deliberately deceived the signers
of the note.
THE $3.50 subscribed by Savannah
on August 81, 1920 as a loan, with the
bridge as security, has never been
paid back or any paper given the
subscribers to secure them.
In your iasT communication you
substantially 4reiterate your former
statements.
at is most unfortunate that any
controversy has arisen about the mat
ter, and so far as l know you are the
only man in Savannah who denies
, that Savannah obligated herself to
raise $15,0G9O0t as her very reason
able quota for that great enterprise
the Darfen Brunswick Bridge. which
means as much to Savannah as it does
to Brunswick ~
81 was Chairman of the Brunswick
Committee appointed by the Rruns,
wick organization to visit Savannah
and solicit her subscription i'll the
sum cf S15,000.00. The first meeting
was held at the Board OF Trade rooms
in Savannah on August 30th. Those
who attended that meeting unani
mously agreed that the amount asked
o. Savannah was most reasonable, and
! that the citizens would raise the
amount, and at the request of the
Board of Trade officials, you called 2
Injecting. TIC sbe' held in the Council

welfare Of this city.
There were two AFFECTS to be ac-
ccmplished at that meetingrzene the
