WHAT THEY DO IN EFFINGHAM.
Kidding the County OF Criminals
New Loan Association

New Loan Association
Judge Pittman of the county court held
another session at Guyton last week, and
relieved the county, and Guyton in particu-
lar of several very able-bodied men whose
daily and nightly vacations did not CON-
port with the laws Of the land. The late
grand jury called upon the county officers
and cinzens generally to be more diligent
IN looking after tramps and turpentine
camp followers, and when a satisfactory
showing could not be made to turn them
over TO the county court for investigation
and trial.
The result Of the jury's Recommendation
is shown In the large number that has re-
Gently been sent up. 1t is a matter of some
regret that the county does not defray the
| courts expenses and take the criminals and
work them on the public roads instead of
sending them of to build up and enrich
| other sections. It was a wise law which
compelled criminals to work out sentences
IN building up the communities where their
disregard of the laws did so much to pull
down. Ehingham's miserable highways. as
compared with other sections, would sug-
gest a change in the law so the convict
labor could be utilized at home.
Guytonlsns have generally been very lib
eral patrons of building and loan associa-
tons. The Columbus Interstate and the
Carolina Interstate of Wilmington. N. C..
have in successful operation local boards
managed by some of Guyton's most success
full business men. The matter of organizing
home institution has from time to time
been discussed both on the streets and in
meetings until few Of Guytonis enterpris-
ing business men have become thoroughly
convinced that home company can be
successfully run. During the week a meet
ing was held at the Chronicle office, par
ticipated in by many of Guyton's best
and most wideawake business men.
The committee on organization, which
had been appointed at a former preliminary
meeting, was not prepared to make a full
report, and the permanent organization
was, therefore, deferred until Monday
night. The enterprise has taken definite
shape. and from all indications a sufficient
amount Of stock will be subscribed to open
and run a successful local institution.
The little Ogeechee river is now in full
order for fishing, and Guytonians are hav-
ing some most enjoyable fish frys During
the week Miss Fannie Davant, assisted by
the young people, gave a fishing party at
the Elkins landing bridge, complimentary
to her young friend Miss Lena, daughter of
Capt. Sid Goodwin of Savannah. The day
was most delightfully."- spent in fishing for
the finny tribe, boating on the river, target
practice, etc. Misses Armstrong and
Miss Eulie Powers gave another bountiful
fry at the same place on Friday, which
was participated in by quite a number Of
Guyton's young people, who reported a de-
hghtful day and most enjoyable occasion.
