There are many men in Georgia,
who devote themselves assiduously to
the task of building up and developing
the state and its various cities and
sections; they are manifold and their
labor is in the fullest spirit Of coop
Grafton and patriotism.
But of all this vast arm of repre-
sentatives and typicai Georgians who
give their time and their ability to
| the state, none of them can compare
the splendid service; the devoted af-
lection and the patriotic fashion in
which the Georgia newspaper man
serves the great commonwealth of
Georgia, which is so close to his great

matters not, what the task may be,
if it is for the betterment of his state.
his city or his county, he gives of his
very hearts blood to the service and
receives less in return than any other
class of citizens of the state!
Not only is this true, but the news
paper man of Georgia carries with
him great responsibility, not shared
by other citizens of the state. To him
is delegated that great duty of mould
ing sentiment; of upholding the clean
and the wholesome and of putting
down the things that are at variance
with good citizenship and a hearty
and chastened regard for law and or
der, decency and correctness in the
individual as well as IN the public life
OF the state. Few people, not connect
ed with the craft, can bring them
selves to understand what a grave and
serious thing it is to control the poll
cy of a newspaper, of general circula-
ton, published in these days, in the
ordinary town or city in these United
States The newspaper with a prop

must, first of all keep his newspaper
wholesome and above reproach; often
at the cost of personal anguish to him
self and to good friends, he must do
the things, he would not want to do,
if it were not for the stern call OF
duty.
As little as we think of it, every
newspaper editor is more or less a
Judge and his jurisdiction is not linn
lied by mere districts; he must pass
Ipon men and measuers and more yet,
lie must speak that judgment to the
world and take full responsibility for
50 doing! He must blaze the way
along industrial lines; he is a path
finder and leader and vast per-
centage of the great reforms and the
Great public movements that succeed,
are due to the indefatigable labor of
the newspaper man, whose sacrifices
come with each twenty-four hours of
his life!
Yet with it all, the Georgia news
PAPER men are the salt of the earth; !;
they make two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before and day
in and day out he goes ahead dedicat-
common veal, to the betterment of
the sphere in which he lives, of his
county, his city, his state and his
country,
So as we say, Brunswick is pleased
to welcome the Fourth Estate" of
Georgia within her confines this morn
ing; the latch is on the outside; our
PEOPLE are pleased and delighted to
have such guests and our hearts go
cut to them in the very fullness of a
genuine, sincere and cordial welcome
Brunswick desires her guests to
take a close look at the very best har-
Dor on the South Atlantic coast; a
harbor on which the government
spends but small sums and which
could easily be made the deepest and
the most useful in the South. We
want them to know and to feel that
this great seaport belongs to them
Just as much as it belongs to us, for
in reality and in fact it does Bruins
wicks harbor should serve all Georgia
and all Georgia should have an inter
est in Brunswick's harbor.
Just at the moment Georgia is
thinking of building great terminal
in one of her ports. On merit alone
Brunswick claims that she ought tC
be selected, for the simpIe reason that
God and nature hayesgiven her the ad
vantage, that such a port terminal
should have We would like these
| Georgia editors to look over the pori
today and tomorrow and then con
clude in their own minds, whether OF
not Brunswick's claim is well found

In the meantime, we are glad you
