LIFE IMPRISONMENT WORSE
THAN DEATH, SAYS PATRICK

Washington, Aug 6.-Albert T. Pat
rick, the lawyer whose sentence of
death for the murder in New York
'of William NJ. Rice, Texas million
Iaire, was commuted to life imprison-
ment by the late Gov. Higgins, had
docketed in the supreme court Of the
United States today his appeal from
the decision of United States Judge
Lacombe refusing to release him on
a writ Of habeas corpus.
In his petition for appeal Mr.. Pat
rick charged that his conviction and
sentence to death had been due to a
conspiracy, and then he asserted that
the governor Of New York did "arbi-
!trarily over his (Patrick's) protest,
change the punishment of death to
F, the defendant to the greater punish
ment Of life imprisonment . whereas
the execution of the death sentence
would have saved him all subsequent
suffering.
Patrick would have the supreme
court undo all that was done by both
: the New York courts and the COVER.
nor OF that state. Unless steps are
taken to expedite a hearing the case
will net be reached for more than a
year.

GUN CLUB SHOOT
TH|S|AFTERNOOY
1T WILL BE THE FfRsT BIG
EVENT AELD oYTHE Lo-
ca oH9&--

The handissF race to be held for
the two handsome trophies of the
Brunswick Gun club this afternoon,
which will be the first special shoot
held by the club since it's organiza-
ton, is attracting considerable inter
est among the members of the club
as well as others who are interested
in trap shooting, and it is expected
that large number will be out, both
to participate in the shoot and to
watch the shooting.
The club has been shooting for the
two medals for the past several weeks,
but all members have shot from the
same distance, 16 yards. In order to
give all a chance at the trophies, this
handicap has been arranged, and each
shooter will be sent back according
to his average for the season. The
handicap will be from IA to 19 yards
The shooting will begin promptly at
3 O'Clock. Carry-alls will leave Nor.
gan's corner about 2:45 for the shoot
ers and those who desire to go out
and witness the handicap race.

No one KNOWS WHO
HAS PURCHASED
c. c. 8 P.
RAILROAD MEN SEEM TO THINK
THAT THE WILLIAMS SYSTEM
HAS scooP1o 1T IN TO FILL IN
THE LINK.

The article in the News yesterday
concerning the rumored sale OF The
Georgia Coast and Piedmont raib6ad
occasioned considerable diseAssion
among railroad men in thisScity.
There is some mystery concerning
the deal, inasmueh as it has net as yet
been announced who fhe purchasers
are. That the Aroad <6as been sold is
generally admittedly those who are
in position I'd. Know, but not a single
one of them can say who the property
now belongs to.
Many are CT the opinion, however,
that the Williams System are the pur-
chasers, and that they have purchased
this line to complete a link which
will connect Brunswick with Angus
ta. 1t will be remembered that two
or three years ago it was rumored
that several of these little roads were
about TO be merged, which, by build.
ing about thirty miles of read, con
meeting with the G. c. & F. with an
other short line, there would be com
plete road direct from Augusta to
Brunswick. Nearly all of the roads
which formed this line are now owned
by the Williams System, and many
believe that they have scooped up the
.G. c. & P. in order to make the con-
nection complete.
Others are of the opinion that one
of the big systems in Georgia has
purchased the road, but if this is the
case they have kept it very quiet
The fact that Vice President and
General Manager Emerson is now out,
lends much color to the report that
the road has changed hands. He was
the direct representative of the for
mer owners, and would have hardly
resigned had not the road been sold
Further developments are expected
and Brunswick is vitally interested
as it is expected that the road is
headed to this city

The COMPANY has built up a big
local business, and there is hardly
a place in Brunswick which handles
tobacco, etc, which does not carry a
full line of the cigars of the company
Most of the new employees of the
plant were brought Eere from Tampa,
and they are all experienced in the
cigar business, having worked in fac
tories there and in Havana. By the
location of the cigar factory IN Bruns-

DETERMINED To SETTLE
GEORGIA CONVICT QUESTION

States He said he had respect for
all officials, and accused or criticised
none, but that the legislature should
have ample time to go into every
phase of the subject
Senator Peacock supplemented his
former remarks with the statement
that he was sure the people would
not object to the cost of an extra ses-
sion for the purpose intended
Till Christmas Day.
Senator l.. A. Henderson thought if
they sat until Christmas day, but
finally settled the problem they would
have accomplished great piece of
work
The motion was opposed by Senator
Taylor en- the ground that the chief
executive is man of sufficient brains
and patriotism to call an extra ses-
sion if such is found to be needed. He
didn't want to dictate to the governor.
