citement among the superstitious, who
charged the peculiar weather up to
the approach OF the comet.
1t has been chilly for the past sever
al days; in fact last week the mer-
curry, during the nights, registered 80
and 60 degrees, but yesterday morning
saw it start downward with a rush,
and at O'Clock this morning, accord
ing to The News thermometer, it was
down TO 40, which is some chillness for
the 26th CT April.
But Brunswick was fortunate. In
Atlanta snow fell for the first time
in the history of that city sduring
April; in other sections lNgular win
ter blizzards prevailed, and, on the

Pittsturg, April 23.-After fifteen
years Quarreling with Pittsburgs city

on Sunday. which has been the biggest
day of all in the library. Hitherto the
library has been open from 9 a. m. to
10 p. M, including Sunday.
The beard OF Carnegie Trustees in a

move is that this year, after many
previous snuCs by the city fathers"

GIVES CUMBERLAND BOOST.
Visitor to Island Says it is Best Beach
In the Country.

Smith Clayton, in his Passing
Throng," column in the Atlanta Cob
stitution yesterday, says:
AN intelligent man who was speak
ing of Cumberland Island the other
day, made this observation:
Some time ago a tourist who has
seen all of the noted beaches in the
world said in Brunswick, OF all the
beaches of the world regard Cumber-
land beach the finest 1t is surprising
tn me that the state of Georgia does
not huy this wonderful property and
make this cne Of the grandest bathing
resorts in the world
THE beach on Cumberland Island is
about 1S miles long by 500 to S0o rect
wide. II is we'll known that Andrew
Carnegie owns the island OF Dunge-
ness. Jekyl Island next to it is owned
by millionaires and people, 1t Is salu'
cannot land without a permit. 1t IS
said that Mr.. Carnegie now owns
about 90 uer cent of Cumberland Is
land. If he ever gets it all the chances
are that the public will not continue
10 epiov that magnificent beach. rms
is not asserted to be fact. 1t is only
a surmise. If there is any danger
of this happening why should not
Georgia step in and buy this great
rronertv, reserving it fcr all time as
one among the most superb surf bath'
ing resorts in the world. This col
nmn would be glad to get fuller in
formation on this important subject

.R JURORS
NE SECURED IN
THE LYENS CASE
VERY JUROR IN THE COUNTY
HAS BEEN SUMMONED TO APP
PEAR IN COURT.
Believed That the Remaining Eight
Will be Secured Today and Trial
Will Begin Tomorrow-Some Doubt
Securing of the Jury.

The case of the state VS.. W. b. Ly-
ems and rs son, A.cn.e Lyens, charg-
Cd with the murder of Fleming Smith,
was taken up in Wayne superior court
at Jesup yesterday morning, with
Judge c. B. Conyers presiding.
Up to 4:30 yesterday afternoon 10
jurors had been examined and of this
number four had been secured to
serve en- the jury. This was even IA
larger number than had been anticip-
.ated. When Judge Conyers convened
the court yesterday morning there
were present 200 jurors, the full num-
Der in the jury box CT Wayne county
Every eligible juror was summoned
and they were all on hand to answer
to the roll call.
The work of selecting the jury was
started at once. Former solicitor JnO.
w. Bennett was offering the objection
on the part Of the state, while his
brother, w. W. Bennett, of Jesup, act
ed in the same capacity for the ae-
Tense. The statutory qeustions were
asked by Major R. E. Dart, of this
city, one of the attorneys for the state.
The work Of selecting the jurors
continued slowly during the entire
day. The first to qualify was ]. H.
nearly o'clock before another took
his seat n the jury, and later two
more qualified, making v total of -four
up to 4:3O o'clock.
OF the 70 who were exabined up
to this hour, the state objected to six
yof those who qualified and the defense
to 10, while the remained went down
for cause.
May Have 10 Move.
While the general consensus of
ma ming eight jurors will be secured
ont of the 120 to be examined, still it
is nit impr liable that the entire list
will be exhausted without securing
the required number. 1t is stated
that those who were examined today
were jurors who were not in the box
at the first rial, and therefore it is
expected that a large majority of the
remaining 120 will be men either re-
lated to some of those connected with
the case or who will go down for cause
AS stated, however, it is believed
that the additional s men will be Sc
cured, probably during today and in
this event the actual trial of the case
will tegin tomorrow. In case it is
found impossible to secure the Jury
the murderers will either be tried in
Brunswick or Waycross.

of the horses. in the fall, had its leg
broken. The bone of the leg was not
only broken, but the member was sew
cred as if by a sharp instrument Of
some kind. 1t was at once seen that
it would be necessary to kill the horse
and three or four shcts were fired be-
fore death was produced.
The runaway created considerable
excitement and it is understood that
the negro driver will be prosecuted
in the municipal court for violating
