NINETY REGISTER
ON THE LAST DAY
COLLECTOR READ KEPT BUSY
BY GLYNN COUNTY VOTERS
YESTERDAY
Many Called TO Qualify After the
Books Had CIosed-ln All 839 Vot-
ers Have Qualified for the Elections
This Year.

Eight hundred and thirty-nine vot-
ers have qualified for the approaching
elections in Glynn county, and had the
books remained open until 6 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, insteal of closing
at 4, as is the law, probably twenty or
twenty-five more names would have
been added
1t was undoubtedly the busiest day
Collector Read has experienced in
many a day. From the time he step
ped into his office early yesterday
morning until the county clock struck
4 yesterday afternoon, there was a
continual stream of voters pouring in
to his office Many of them had back
taxes to pay and it took some little
time to get them registered.
1t was expected by the candidates
and Chers who have been keeping a
close tab on the registration that be-
tween forty and sixty would quaify
on the last day, but the number great
ly exceeded these estimates and when
the books finally closed Collector
Read announced that exactly 80 voters
had registered during the day,
AT 4 O'Clock, when the collector
closed the books, there was in and in
seeing distance of the court house tif-
teen more voters, who waited until
the last minute and were then too late.
Others seemed to be ignorant of the
fact that the books would close at 4
O'Clock, although much publicity was
given to the fact, and they reported
all druring the afternoon up to 6
o'clock.
While the total registration is rath-
er small, still it is mach larger than
was at first expected. In 1908 when
there were hot state and county
fights On, when there was opposition
fer governor and other races of more
than usual interest, the total number
registered was 994, so it can be seen
that with only few contests on and
no state campaign yet under way, the
decrease was only 1855.

SPEER BOOMED
FOR HIGH COURT
GEORGIAN'S FRIENDS THINK HE
WOULD HAkE EXCELLENT sU
PREME COURT JUsTIuE

The possibility of Judge Emory
Speer being appointed to the vecancy
on the bench of the supreme court of
the United States was editcrially dis
cussed by the Atlanta Constitution of
yesterday as follows:
Friends of Judge Emory Speer are
strongly advancing the suggestion
that the president name this brilliant
Georgia jurist to fill the vacancy on
the federal supreme bench created by
the death of Justice Brewer.
Such an appointment would not only
secure for the South Atlantic and
Gulf states representation on the ma
tion's highest tribunal, but would. as
well maintain the high standard of
ability integrity and experience in
dispensable to the effective discharge
of its vital functions.
Judge Speer is siXty-one years OF
age physically vigorous and mentally
in his prime. His long and varied ca
reer. extending over service in con-
gress, at the bar and upon the bench
has been distinguished equally by re-
gard for law and equity as expressed
in many vital issues, and by a con-
sistent desire to promote harmony be-
tween the federal and state judiciary
and the various sections of the coun-
try.
1t has been many years since the
eastern half of the south proper has
had Representation on the supreme
court bench. Justice Lurten Of Ten
nessee. halls from border state,
speaking accurately. and Justice
White of Louisiana, has little first
hand knowledge of the conditions in
the commonwealths lining the south
ern half of the eatern seaboard.
Judge Speer combines familiarity OF
bcth the Gulf and South Atlantic
states. with a national viewpoint, the
latter rendered stronger from the fact
that as an ex-Confederate soldier he
has been foremost in that movement
aptly termed an effort toward re-
naturalization.
OF his professional equipment, il
would be supertiuCus to speak in phas
, es of elaboration. He would distinct
ly grace the surreme bench.

HoWe's Shows Pleased Two Large
Crowds Here Yesterday

tnquestionably one of the best and
seen in Brunswick, was the Howe's
shows which gave two performances
in Brunswick yNEterday. At the aft
ernOon performance the tent was well
crowded, while last night every seat
was occupied and many found it nee
essary to stand in order to witness the
performance.
The circus did not come heralded as
one of the largest in the country but
it claimed to be clean and the reputa-
ton was maintained Every act was
pleasing and there were several fea-
lures which made the show rank
among the best seen here in a long
time
By far the best performers cf
the aggregation was the Eddy family,
five in number, and all real circus
stars. The wire walking of two mem
hers of the family was the best exhibit
ton ever seen in Brunswickw, and
some really difficult feats were pulled
eff by the young people who perform
ed so gracefully, and who were liber-
ally applauded by the immense
crowd. The acrobatic work Of the
family was also unusually good, as
we'll as the other special act in which
they appeared.
The trapeze work. the horseback
riding, as we'll as the work of the Jap
anese was all we'll up to the standard
and altogether the circus was probably
the best ever seen in Brunswick at the
price of admission charged,
