A Big Swindling Scheme Exposed
By the Special Treasury
Agent.
"SMUGGLED" GOODS WERE PRETTY.
tang Realized Hundreds Of Dollars-SeCresy
Phat Worked Both Ways-Victim-
lied Hundred Gentlemen.

A large number of the well-dressed
men of Brunswick-not to mention the
"dudes"-hsve bsen made the victims.
during the past few weeks of as shrewd
swindling game as was ever played
on the gullible public.
Special Treasury Agent Thornton,
who has been on the track of the
gang" of swindlers, yesterday
trapped them and exposed their prac-
tices, The scope of their operations
has been general, however, and 1t is
estimated that the number of gentle
men duped by the confidence game is
not less than one hundred. The pub
lilo would be surprised if some of the
names were published.
The gang consists of three or four
shrswd fellows, who have disguised
themselves as sailors for the particu.
lar purposes of their scheme. These
fellows came to Brunswick provided
with quite large stock of the COM
monest and at the same time the
most deceptive cotton ''shoddy" suit
ings. The cloth is made to initiate
genuine Scotch plaids. English
wOrsteds and other fine imported
goods. 1t takes an expert to detect
the "fake."
The schemers, Stimulating great se-
oreoy, would visit prominent men,
and particularly those who figure in
society and whose tastes run to good
clothes. They would display their
samples, give the intended victim the
confidential wink, and whisper:
"Smuggled-brought it oyer on a
British steamship-sell it at q sacri-
fice-two dollars yard" or words to
that effect. Nearly every victim
'bit," paid the money, fattering him.
self that he had made sharp trade,
and sent the goods to tailor. 1t was,
of course, to the tailor's interest to
say nothing-hs got his money for
making the suit.
1t Is estimated that the gang has
realized hundreds of dollars from its
operations in this city. While they
do not say SO, it is certain that the
tallors of the city have been kept very
busy of late making up these "fake"
suits.
And, when the victim found that he
had been duped, would he say any
thing? Well, hardly. He had, to all
intents and purposes, become party
to a smuggling scheme In purchasing
the goods, and discretion dictated ST.
lence.
Samples OF suitings sold we're exhib-
tied to reporter. They were pretty,
and calculated to make the heart of
the average dude futter with sdmira-
ton. But, when chewed, there was
left nothing but common cotton, while
the beautiful shades and plaids dis
solved In liquid dye.
Special Agent Thornton exaoted
promise from the men to leave the
city at once and cease their practices.
He could not hold them under the
United States law, as they had only
been simulting smuggling.
But there are many pretty suits in
the wardrobes of BrunswIck's jeunesse
doree that the owners wouldn't wear
out in the rain-nor at any other time.

NOTES OF THEIR TRIP.
What the Rifsmen Did on Their Visit TO
ThOmasville.

ThOmasville.
The Brunswick Rifemen arrived
from Thomasville yesterday morning
at $3.50 on the Plant System, after hav-
ing spent one Of the plsasantest ou.-
lngs In their history. The company
left here Thursday night at z D. M,
twenty-five strong, and after a quick
ride reached Waycross without acci-
dent, except that Newt Morris came
very near being "lynched" owing to
his good singing"
At Waycross the boys raided the
lunch counter, and everyone seemed
to have enough except AIyin Jeffers.
who was obliged to run to catch the
train after eating everything in sight.
The ride from Waycross to Thomas
VILE was uneventful. Arriving at
Thomasville at l a. M, the Riflsmen
were met by the Thomasville Guards
and escorted to the Stewart house.
All the boys were up by "a. M, and
after hearty breakfast the Guards
marched to the depot to meet the AL
bany and Valdosta companies, which
arrived about 10 am. The regiment was
then formed and marched to the resi-
denOe where Governor Atkinson was
stopping, ekcortIng him and his staff
to the fair grounds, a distance of two
miles, through the piney woods.
At the grounds the boys were dis
missed until p. m. The time was
spent in watching the races and look
ing at the exhibits, of which there
were many. At l 80 dinner was
served to the military at the court
house, and all did justice to a repast
that was delicious.
At 2 p. m. the regiment was formed
in front of the grand stand and dress
parade was given for the benefit of the
visitors, of whom there were about
5000. The Rif1emen then marched
back to town. a number of the boys
went to the theater, others to bed and
some called on their friends.
The company left at 8 a. m. and
reached homs without accident.
For open-hearted hospitality the
Thomasville people are kings. Bruns-
wick money was "no good" and when
the Riflemen asked for their board
bill they were told that it was all set
tied. The kindness shown the boys
will never be forgotten, and will bind
the ties stronger than ever between
the two cities. "Mally" Ulsch, of the
Plant System, had the Riflemen in
charge, and they were well taken care
Of. Captain Dart was highly compll-
mented by the colonel for the hand
some appearance OF Company 1 and
the magnificent report of the inspeo-
tion held by Captain Dart a short time
ago. lie said he intended to have it
sent to the captains of all the compan-
les to use as model. Lieutenant Ste
phens was missed greatly by all the
boys, as the handsome lieutenant is
very popular. Of the jolly, happy,
fun-loying and fun-maklng boys, Ed
Dudley was the joker Of the trip. He
kept rybody in a continuous laugh
from the start to finish. He was the
life of the trip. During the entire
time all the boys behaved as gentle
men and soldiers, and Brunswick can
we'll feel proud of them.
THE TINES representative was
shown many courtesieJ, which are
highly appreciated.

with 9 surplus remaining after his
crops have been marketed and all the

apply that surplus to the lifting of the

to him relief from the so often disas-

OF interest on his mortgage which has
heretofore made many years work
improbable, and to the sure possession
OF those acres from the tilling of which
his prosperity must come. 1t is safe
to say that farm mortgages will be
wiped out as fast as the farmer can
spare the money with which to thus
free himself And then should come
an era of independence and good times
such as the agricultural classes of this
country have not experienced for many

rAfN CONTINGENT Fund.

Considerable talk is INDUCED in re-
garding the astonishing rapidly with
which the civil contingent fund has
almost disappeared from view.
The Auditors figures show that a
great slice of it has been used to defray
the expenses of the Governor and his
staff on their trip to the Grant memoir
ial exercises in New York.
According to a strict construction
of the law governing the usage of this
fund we do not believe the Governor
is justified in so using it. 1t is quite
certain that it was not the original
purpose Of the creation of this fund
to defray the expenses of any junkett
that the Governor and his staff might
choose to indulge in.
The taxpayers do not pay their mon
ey even into a contingent fund for the
fun of it,, or in order that their SER
wants may have a good time" with it

THE FARMERS MORTGAGE.

Among the heaviest Of the burdens
heaped upon the farmer by a quarter
century of Republican rule are the in
terest-bearing mortgages on his farm
held by the wealthy East, and the best
feature of the great advance in the
price Of agricultural products caused
by our remarkably successful crops
and the almost total failure of crops
in every other country, is the promise
of placing the American farmer in &
more prosperous condition than he has
known for years past.
According to the figures given in &
| recent issue of the American Agrlcul-
trrlst, the most noticeable develop
! ment of 1928 in the line of prosperity

A VERY GOOD MOVE.

The Pennsylvania State Democratic
Committee has done a good thing in
forcing William F. Harrity out of the
National Democratic Committee as
Pennsylvania representative. Harri-
ty neither supported the Democratic
ticket in the last National campaign
nor has he fulfilled any duty as Ma
tional committeeman. Since the Chica-
go convention all his influence has
been thrown to defeat the Democratic
party.
The honorable course for Harrity to
have pursued when he found he could
not support the Democratic ticket was
to have Immediately resigned from his
responsible position in the party. He
not only refused to do so, but kept his
place, that he might better play the
traitor.
The Democratic Committee has done
well in ousting him. It should have
done so long ago. No man who does

been stated by Miss Cisneros, herself,

to secure her release if she would con-

The case of this girl, accidentally
discovered by American newspaper

expelled from Cuba by Weyler, is one
of Heaven knows how many similar
cases equally pitiful. Nothing in con-

The Amerincan cotton planter will
get his share of Natures bounty this
year as well as the wheat and corn
grower and for the same reason, name
ly, the shortage of the cotton crop
abroad. Hysteria has not seized the
cotton market, but there are signs
of healthy movement. There was
a good deal of excitement in the mar
ket a week ago, but it did not last
long enough to arouse general expecta-
ton of a big bulge. 1t is evident from
the statistical situation and the firm
tone of the market, both in this coun-
try and in Europe, that the cotton ex-
perts are Of one opinion, and that is
that good prices will prevail this year.

Guffey, Of Pittsburg, as Harrity's sue

doubt Of the genuineness of his De-

If the Democratic party is to succeed
at all it can succeed only by strict

by placing on guard only men who be-

there can be no compromise between
right and wrong, neither can there be
any compromise between Democracy
