THAT MISSING PAGE.
Two Copies Extant and So Its Loss Is
of Small Importance.

Brunswick. Ga. June 1O.-Editor William
s. Irvine, of the Glynn County Picket to-
day stated to correspondent that he had
a verbatim copy of the missing page
from the Glynn county Commissioners
minute book, and that the fact that some
one had mutilated the record would have
no effect when that was produced in
court
Mr. Jacob L. Beach, the defendant in the
suit which the page irons part of the
evidence OF. stated to correspondent also
that Attorneys Garrard and Meldrim of
Savannah, attorneys for the prosecution
in assisting the state, have an abstract
OF the page and that they had been in
possession of the abstract for years, the
time dating back Mr.. Beach says, to the
period when the firm represented Glynn
county commissioners in a dual capacity
connected with the old Glynn County
Bond matters. These two statements
would seem to simplify the matter of
the missing page very much and make its
abstraction from the records of no ma
terial advantage to either the prosecu-
ton or defense.
The cut from the records was made
with a very sharp knife and chose to the
inside edge, so close in fact that unless
a special search was made for the page
II would not be missed.

ALL ON THE SAME BASIS.
Judge LumpIxin's Decision in South
ern Mutual Building and Loan.

Atlanta, June 10.-Judge ]. H.
Lumpkin, of the Superior Court,
filed this afternoon his decision in
the case of Roby Robinson ct al. against
the Southern Mutual Building and Loan
Association ct al. The opinion filed by
the Judge is elaborate and discusses fully
the various questions raised. 1t will be
of interest to thousands all over the
South.
The principal question in rhe case was
whether the various preferences claimed
by parties to the suit should be allowed.
For some months before the failure of the
association many stockholders were seek
ing to withdraw from it. They gave no
tice of their intention to withdraw and
thus a large amount of claims of with
drawing members accrued. There was no
cash to pay them with but when the as
ISOLATION was put in the hands of re-
ceiver, these persons claimed that they
were entitled TO DE considered as credi-
tors. and be paid before the common stock
holders should receive any dicidends at
all If all their claims were allowed there
would be very little left for distribution
among the ordinary stockholders. If they
were not allowed, there would be a con-
siderable amount of assets for distribu-
ton.
Judge Lumpkin overruled all claims of
priority of payment and ruled that all
should stand on a basis of equality and
the assets distributed pro rata. If no ex-
ception is taken to this decision, it is not
unlikely that the distribution will Hgin
at a very early date. 1t is said, however,
that the various parties claiming prefer
ence will file a bill Of exceptions and car
ry the case to the Supreme Court. II this
is done, II will necessitate a delay in the
actual distribution until the Supreme
Court shall pass upon the point.
The case was referred some time ago
to T. A. Hammond as auditor, and II
now comes up on exceptions to
his report. 1t is said that
more than fifty different sets OF
exceptions were filed. The decision filed
today sustained the auditor in nearly all
points decided by him, only over-ruling
him on a few points. James A. Anderson
OF Atlanta and NJ. A. O'Byrne of Savan-
nah, were appointed Joint receivers for
the Southern Mutual Building and Loan
Association in Georgia.

when Their Men Are sentenced to

From the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
There Is an unwritten law in the Court
Of General Sessions that mothers. sisters
or wives of defendants about to be sem
fenced should be asked to leave the court
room in which the proceedings are TAX
ing place. This law was recently tried on
a Bohemian woman, but 1t proved inoper-
alive. Her husband had been found
guilty OF an offense where a good-looking
girl of seventeen was the complaining wit
ness The prisoners wife was a middle
aged woman. sallow-faced and pock-
marked. She was sure her husband was
innocent.
How do you know" asked one OF the
Interpreters
Il know because / know" she answered
sullenly
After little she broke out

heartily that the interpreter could not
help joining in.
When her husband was arralgned for
sentence the same interpreter said 10 her.
gently:

room"

Republican Platform.


Republican Platform.
Lexington, KY, June 10.-In reply to a
letter asking for his views on the reor-
ganization of the Democratic party and
issues, Col. W. C. P. Breckenridge. for
mer Democratic CONGRESSMAN, says
The American people will never con-
sent to such legislation concerning the
currency as will put into a statute the
views of Mr.. Bryan. 1t is equally true
that the American people will not ap-
prove of the territorial policy advocated
by Mr.. Bryan. For the next few years
the currency issue and the expansion IS

have been settled.
In the same letter he says:
we are, therefore. confronted with
this actual state of facts 1t is impos.
sible to win without such a platform as
will secure the support of those Demo-
Gratis who refused to vote for Mr.. Bryan
in 1896 and 1900, and 1t is also Impossible
to win without the cordial support of the
Democratic party.
1T has occurred to me that the issue
in 1904 might be our relations with our
new possessions. That thes will be re-
tanned is now certain. That the princi-
I'm the late opinions will be accepted by
the people is certain"
After outlining the questions involved
Col. Breckinridgen says:
TO adopt this policy does not require
that any Democrat should retract any
utterance heretofore made, or APOLOGIZE
for any course heretofore pursued"

KILLING WOLVES.
some of the Methods Used to Get ria
of the Pests.


From the Denver Republican.
Whole families Of the animals are some
times asphyxiated in their dens. A wolf
of the gray variety generally makes its
home by getting on the side of dart
gulch and burrowing straight inward I'M
til a safe distance from the surface is
reached. There her young are born and
raised to sturdy cub estate. ai
When a cowboy locates den in which
he believes the entire family to be gath
cred, a composite mass of cotton, satu-
rated with damp hour sulphur and other
noxious smelling substances, is thrust
into the den and set on fire. The mouth
of the hole is then filled with clay lamp
ed down solidly, and the imprisoned
this way from s to 10 and II wolves,
young and old. are wiped out at one
stroke.
Another effective method is to bore four
more holes In a fiat piece OF board and
plug them up with beef fat soaked in
styrchnine The odor OF the Tat attracts
any wolves that may be in the vicinity.
and they lick the fat voraciously until the
leavening OF poison does its work upon
them and they drop dead. Very often as
many as a dozen wolves are killed off by
this process before the fat in the holes
Is exhausted.
Strychnine inclosed In capsules is also
used The capsule is thrust into a slit
cut in a chunk OF beef, and the wolf
boiling the meat whole. falls an easy VIC
tim. Steel traps. baited with raw beef.
are also tried with fair success.

as fast as possible, and by making the
personal obligations refererd to, the Fl
nance Committee has succeeded in getting
Brunswick's finances in fairly good shape,
and it is now evident that before the
present term of the committee expires
most of the floating debt of Brunswick
will be paid and all trust bonds and sink
ing fund items taken care of. The details
of the many financial transactions in
volved in bringing the city out of trouble
would cover many pages but suffice it to
say that magnificent work is being done
in that line by the officials named and
the taxpayers are the gamers. 1t is also
understood that the running expenses are
being cut down this year about $40 900,
and this will help out considerably.

screamed. Isn't 1t enough that you are
going to rob me of the shining star of
my life? VIII you have the heart to
turn out a mother so that she can't see
her boy walked out OF this world?''
But he will come back to you" the
interpreter shouted al her, angrily
The old woman shook her head and
burst into tears. Something tells me
I'll never see him alive. You're a lot of
murderers."
She clutched at her seat with might
and main, but the combined strength Of
two attendants proved more than a match
for her.
Another italian woman could not I'M
derstand why she should not be allowed
to see her husband discharged.
The signor were kind enough to let
me sit here through the trial, and now
that my Giacomo has been found by the
twelve signor to be innocent and he is
going TO take me home, you won't let me
wait to hear the judge say: 'Giacomo you
are an honest man. Go home with your
Wife"
When she found out her mistake and
that her Giacomo had not been found an
honest man, she tainted.
