from malaria, but he has been fully
relieved of the trouble caused by this,

Development in Court Sur
prise to the People of
Macon
QUESTION is 10 BE SETTLED
Estate of S. H. Mcintyre is Claimed
by Two Who Maintain That they
Are Legal Wdows-Estate is
Worth $4,000.

Macon, Aug. Claiming to be the
widow of s, H. Mcintyre Of Macon.
who died at his residence on lax street
last February, two women appeared
in Ordinary c. NJ. Wiley's court this
morning and each endeavored to show
cause why she should be the proper
custodian of the estate of the dead
man, valued at $4,000.
The appearance of the other wife
caused no little surprise among the
friends of the dead man, and until she
| arrived in Macon and began legal pro.
ceedings to prevent letters of admins
tration being given the Macon wife
no one knew OF her existence She
IS Mrs. Elizabeth Mcintyre, of Nor
wick, Conn, and she says she was
married to Mcintyre in that city. The
man over whose estate the two women
, are now contesting came TO Macon
eight years ago from Norwich, Conn,
and after he had been here some time
he was married to Miss Ella Brantlev.
or late years Mcintyre had lived re-
tired life and was considered to he
well fixed financially. Last Fehril-
aty he died and in course of time his
widow, the woman he married in Ma
con, made application for letters of
administration. 1t was shortly after
this that Mrs Elizabeth Mclntrye OF
Norwich, arrived ON the scene and
she at once commenced legal proceed
ings to obtain possession of the dead
mans eatste.
This morning both widows of Mem
| tyre appeared in the court of the or
binary and through their attorneys
each endeayored TO demonstrate lust
why the estate of the dead man should
be hers. Attorney Washington Des-
sau claimed that Mrs Elizabeth Nc
Intyre, Of Norwich, was the legal wife
OF Mcintyre, and as such was entitled
to administer his estate lie claimed
that there had never been a divorce
and that Mclntyre's second marriage
was Illegal.
On the other hand Attorney Fartin
for Mrs. Mcintyre No. 2, exhibited pa,
pers which showed chat Mrs. McIn.
tyre No. ] had applied for a divorce
and alimony in the Connecticut courts
but it was not shown just how the
case terminated. Attorney Dessau
claimed tha while this application had
been made the suit was withdrawn
and a divorce was never granted. 1t
IS said that besides $4,000 life insur-
ance, Mcintyre left other property and
the indications are that there will be
a strong legal fight made by the two
wives for the possession of the pro
perty. Ordinary Wiley will make
known his decision tomorrow morning.

MAY WAGE. WAR
FOR PURE MILK
-
Brunswick May Join In
Fight Being Made By
Other Cities
CITIZEN wRITES A CARD
He Says impure Milk is Being Sold
in Brunswick Every Day and Hop
es to See the Question Taken
up by Council.

Is Brunswick to fall in line with
other cities of the state and make
a fight for clean milk?
As is well known, Atlanta. Savan,
nah, Columbus and other Georgia cit
les are now waging war against i'm
pure milk. In Atlanta the matter has
gone so far that the city council, cham
Der Of commerce and others have tax
en- the matter up and are making a
great fight for pure milk.
While no steps have been taken
in Brunswick yet, still several com
plants have been made and yesterday
The News received two communica
tions from citizens calling upon the
council to look into che matter in
Brunswick. Both the communications
were timely. and one OF them is as
follows:
Editor News ] suppose you have
noticed the fight being made in Allan
Ia and ether cities against impure
milk.
Well, as little as you may think Of
it, the milk sold daily in Brunswick
needs investigation. ] do Iot mean
to say that all Of the dairies are sell.
ing impure milk, but il is a fact that
some of them, and many of the private
people who sell DILL to their neigh
bors are selling Impure SAilk
The trouI here seems to be that
the propeX Xeare is not taken Of the
cows hey are allowed to roam
around in lots OF on green's all night
and then they are MIXED early the
next morning without the owner know
ing what they have fed on during the
night
The greatest trouble, however seems
to be that the milk sold in Brunswick
is watered | know it to he a fact
that several people who sell milk mix
it with about half water. or course
this does not necessarily make the
milk impure, but it is not Al all good
for children. and others for that mat
ter.
| think that in the course of time
our physicians will notice that impure
milk is being sold in Brunswick every
day and that they viii call the at
tention of the city council to the mat
ter. 1t is an important question and
hope to see it taken up in Bruins
wick as soon as possible.
