HENRY BAKERS SUCCE!

HENRY BAKERS SUCCESSOR.
Mr.. Henry E. Baker, who was pro-
NOTED in the Patent Office to a S., 100
dollar position a few weeks ago, holds
the highest position of any colored
American in any department outside
of a Presidential office. Mr.. Baker
was elevated to this position through
merit alone. If he continues to make
a record there is no doubt that he
will reach the position of Assistant
Chief, which pays s., 500 per annum.
Mr.. Baker is one of the best pat
ent attorneys in the department, and
his knowledge of patent laws has won
for him the reputation that he has.

eSting article, which is bound to find
Ia deep response in Brunswick and in
Which this city should cooperate in
every way possible.

OF certain Dublin gentlemen who are
concerned in river navigation are

another it had never been perfected

cities on the Occnee and Ocmulgae-
and their Independent efforts to Sc
cure recognition from the United
States government have not been as
effective as if there had been CON

HO5 ACE SYM9NS
CASE IS ENDED
PERMITTED TO PLEAD GUILTY
TO ASSAULT WITH INTENT
TO MURDER, PAYS FINE.

In the superior court yesterday the
case pending against Horace Symons
which has been en- the docket for some
time was finally disposed Of.
The case is familiar to News read
.ers. Young Symons who made an
attempt on the life of Sheriff Glenn
of Wilcox county, some time ago
which failed of it's purpose only be-
cause of the fact that bullet shot
intended for the sheriff, struck a geld
watch which he wore and thus saved
its owner from the ball of the Symons
pistol. The facts leading up to this
assault have been referred to in these
columns and do not need to be enter
ed into again.
The grand jury meeting directly af-
ter the Shooting indicted Symons on
the charge Cf assault with intent
to murder and the case was to have
been tried at the last session of ths
court, but the defendant took advant-
age Of his. legal right and the bond
was estreated.
Nnen the ca vas called ycster-
day. Acting Solicitor A. D. Gale re-
vie%ed its many features and stated
to the court that Solicitor Bennett had
agreed to recommend mercy on con-
dition that Symons would enter a plea
of guilty. This was done and Judge
Reagan sentenced Symons to a fine
of two hundred dollars or twelve
monthe on the chain gang. The fine
was of course paid and thus ends the
matter.
Sheriff Glenn was in the city and
after the matter had been properly
put before him by the friends of Sy
mons, agreed that the case take the
direction as stated above.

ACTIVE WORK
FOLLOWS SALE
EAGLE PENCIL co. BUSY WITH ITS
ST. SIMON PROPERTY MUCH
CEDAR BEING SHIPPED.

The recent sale of Little Simon's
island, including Buffers Point, to the
Eagle Pencil Co., or what is known
as the lead pencil trust, has been fol-
lowed by active work on the island.
Almost every day sees from three to
ten cars of cedar logs rolling out CT
Brunswick, bound for Chattanooga,
Tenn, the nearest point where the
pencil trust operates a slab mill So
far over hundred car loads have been
shipped. In all there will be several
thousand cars.
The cedar trees, even the saplings
measuring but few inches in diam
eter, are being cut and loaded on light
ers. The lighters are towed from Lit
tie St. Simon to the South End where
they are quickly unloaded directly in
to coal cars. The timber is so valua-
bic that every stick is checked into
the car even to the smallest piece.
What will be done with the land
when the cedar is all cut has not
been decided. o. F. Chichester, of
Chattanooga, general southern agent
of the Eagle Pencil c., who purchas-
ed the property several months ago,
may offer the land for trucking pur-
poses or may put it on the market as
a whole. When the island changed
hands last fall Mr.. Chichester spent
some time in getting the titles per-
fected. One of the two owners, both
of whom are daughters cf Butler King,
resides in England, and for long
time refused to sell her interest in
Buffers Point, Cannon's Point and
Little st. Siaon. Finally her sister
who lives in Philadelphia, induced her
to join in making deed to the land.
Manage Chichester had planned
to erect a small mill to cut up the
logs into pencil blocks or slabs but
the financial depression coming on
caused change in the plans. Just why
the logs are not sawn up in this city
instead of being shipped to Chattanoo-
ga, has not been explained
