For eight rounds the battle between

with blood when White finally went

feet. and when Mcguire hooked him
around the neck. and sent his left to

he went to the canvas and could not

The pace had been so fast that both

GLYNN COUNTY ELECTION
WILL BE A TAME ONE,
No Opposition for Any Ofiee-Bruns-
wick News Notes.

Brunswick, Ga. April 5.-For the
first time IL many years, an election
will be held IN G.y1n county without
opposition. Not single one OF the
candidates for county Offices Is op-
posed in the coming primary.
A somewhat spirited contest Is on
in Camden county FOR state senator,
although George Carnegie, who II was
generally thought, would be IN the race,
has declined 10 run. There are two
candidates, D. P. Rose, who has rep
resented the county II the Legislature
several times, and a. J. Lies, z
prominent citizen OF the county. Both
are said 10 be very popular and the
race l. expected 70 be quite spirited
one. Neither OF these candidates an
uouncedg however, until il was known
that Dir. Carnegie would not make the
race, which decision he reached after
il was known that he would be OPP
posed should he announce.
AS 10 the two-fghts for state house
officers. that Of z Supreme Court JUS
tice and prison Commissioner, the peO-
PIE Of this county and section are TAX
ing very little interest. II IS gen.
orally believed that Justice Simmons
will have easy sailing and Will win in
nearly every county in the Eleventh
congressional district. The race be-
tween Judge Turner and Mr. Strick-
land for prisoner commissioner, now
ever, seems 10 be close.
Nearly every teacher OF the Bruins
wick public schools and many from the
county schools left tonight for Macon,
where they go TO spend three days at
the public schools in that city.
This plan for interchanging ideas and
methods, although an innovation, Is
growing in popularity, and teachers
who have not had opportunities for at
tending training schools are delighted
with the advantage thus afforded them
in seeing skillful methods Of teaching
in schools where the curricula are pre-
scribed and administered by masters o.
the profession.
The Brunswick teachers were &C
companied by President Wood. Of the
Glynn County Board OF Education, ana
Supt y. H. Ballard. They Will remain
in Macon until Friday night.
