OUT FOR SHERIFF
POPULAR GLYNN COUNTY OFF,
GER ANNOUNCES FOR
REELECTION.

Elsewhere in The News this morn
ing will be found the announcement
of w. H. Berrie for reelection to the
office of sheriff of Glynn county.
There is no more popular official in
the county than Sheriff Berrie, and
the news that he is again TO offer for
reelection will be received with inter-
est by his hundreds of friends. He
has held the position for many years
and has always been a popular and
efficient officer, and though, at many
elections, he has been opposed, he has
always been reelected by safe major
tiles. He is net only popular with
the court official, county officers, ETC.,
but with the people generally and
this fact, more than any other, is re-
sponsible for the fact that it is hardly
probable that he will have an oppo-
sition at the approaching primary.

SENATOR DENIES
BRIBERY CHARGE
M!SSISSIPPPS NEW MEMBER OF
SENATE, DENIES ANY
KNOWLEDGE OF 1T.

Washington, March Ex-senator Le-
roy Percy, of Mississippi, replying to
the charge that State Senator Bilbo
was given a bribe by l.. G. Dulaney,
one of Percy's supporters, in the re-
cent senatorial contest, issued a state
ment today declaring he is absolutely
without knowledge on the subject eX-
cept as contained in the press dis
patches.
1T seems an unnecessary statement
for me to make" Percy declares. Ger
tainly unnecessary so far as anyone
that knows me is concerned, that not
a cent was ever used during the SEN
atorial fight by me or by my knowl-
edge, to influence any members OF the
Legislature, nor have | the remot est
idea that any such expenditure was
made by any friend of mine"
Percy asserts that he has no doubt
that the charge is without foundation
and absolutely false If there was
any truth in the statement Bilbo should
have made it to the legislature prior
to the election Percy says 'Bilbo
was bitter partisan of Vardeman's,
and is supposed to have voted for
him."

AN INTERESTING
SUIT FILED IN
SUPERIOR COURT
MRS. MARY u. READ THE PLAIN
TIFF, AND HER BROTHER, MON
ROE PHILLIPS, DEFENDANT.
Sister Claims That She is Entitled to
Half the Proceeds From Sale of
Timber Rights-Judge Conyers Is
sues Temporary Restraining Order

Quite an interesting suit has been
hled in the Glynn superior court, in
Whicn Is involved some ten or twelve
thousand dollars ,tnI in which is a
legal fight of sister against brother.
The suit is in the rauue of an in
junction, filed by Mrs. Mary }. Read
through her attorney, Ernest Dart,
against her brother, Monroe Phillips
Mr.. Phillips resides in Brunswick
while his sister, though & resident Of
Macon, has been in Brunswick for
some time
1t appears, or rather it is claimed
in the injunction, that in October,
1909, the defendant borrowed from his
sister the sum of $3.50. A partnership,
it is further claimed, was then formed
between them, and they purchased a
saWmill in Pierce county. They also
purchased tract of land from Mrs.
Lydia Stone and anothv. from Mrs.
A. Aldrich. To evidence the interest
that his sister had in the properly,
Mr.. Phillips, it is alleged, transferred
in writing the option to Mrs r cad.
1t is then stated that after the mill
had been purchased with what was
supposed to be partnership money and
the two options had been secured the
Ocmulgee Lumber company, of Lum-
ber City, offered to purchase the mill
and options from the owners. The
petition recites that Mr. Phillips then
conceived a scheme to freeze out"
Mrs. Read, and it is claimed that he
tore Off the transfer and represented
to the Ocmulgee Lumber company
that he alone owned the timber and
a deal was closed, the timber being
purchased for approximately $4,000.
The money derived from the sale was
brought to Brunswick and deposited in
the National Bank in Mrs Phillips
name
Mrs. Read contends that she is en-
titled to half of the purchase money,
and claims that the entire scheme
was fraud, practiced by her broth
er. and consequently she has sued out
an Injunction which. was presented to
Judge Conyers yesterday. A tempor-
airy restraining order was passed
against Mr., and Mrs Phillips, enjoin-
ing them from drawing the money and
the National Bank was appointed re-
ceivers for the funds, inasmuch as the
money is deposited in that bank.
Judge ConyerS has set the injunc-
tion for hearing Cn April Is and the
result of the case will be awaited
with interest.

TIME IS MOST UP
AND STILL SMALL PERCENTAGE
OF GLYNN COUNTY VOTERS
HAVE REGISTERED,

Although this is practically the last
week that the registration books will
be open, there has not been any spe-
cial rush to the Office of Collector
Read during the first two days, and
the indications are that the books will
close next Tuesday with a smaller
number CT voters registered in this
county than has been the case in sew
eral years.
Up to yesterday afternoon o. ly
about 625 voters had qualified, and
there are only six more days in which
to get in position to vote at the state
and county elections this year. 1t is
being hoped, however, that the voters
will yet realize the importance of
qualifying and will get their names
on the books lefcre they finally
close.
Tuesday, April >, is the last day.
Go ray your taxes and register TO-
day.

DOWN SIDEWALKS
ON NORWICH ST.
TIME PRESCRIBED IN ORDINANCE
FOR COMPLETION OF WORK

Only Few of the Property Owners
lave Had the Work Done and Now
fiS Will Proceed and Collect for
Etork From Owners.
E

The time prescribed in the ordi-
nance providing for sidewalks on Nor
Wlch street. between Mansfield and
L., has expired, and large majority
OF the ,property-oWners have not lived
up to it, They have permitted the
time to pass without laying the new
sidewalks and now the city will, as
soon as bids can be received and ac-
cepted, proceed with the work, and
after its completion, bills will he sent
to the different property owners fer
their pro rata and, if it is not then
paid, executions will be issued against
the property.
The ordinance provided for the pay
ing OF the sidewalks on this street
was passed several months ago. and
although the limit has more than once
been extended, the property-cwners
have been slow in patting down the
sidewalks and only a few of them
have complied with the terms of the
ordinance. The time limit expired a
few days ago aid the public works
committee is now advertising for bids
for the work These bids will be op-
ened On April II at noon, and as soon
as the contract is awarded the work
will begin.
Just why the property-owners on
this street have not complied with
the ordinance is not known, but they
will now be put to additional expense,
as the city will have the work done
and the owners will have to pay all
the extra expense.

Are you one of the city license de,
linquents?
1t is true that the city has been
lenient with all those who have not

Brunswick, and though additional time
was extended, still there are num-
ber who are still on the delinquent
list and are now operating their busl-
ness in the city without a license.
Tomorrow is the last day. Orders
were issued by Chief Burney some
time ago to all of those who had not
paid up that unless they did so be-
fcre April l they would he hauled up
in police court and fined, and it will
not be an April fool joke, either
So take good advice and pay a
