FIVE MURDERERS
IN THE GLYNN JAIL
THAT NUMBER NOW OCCUPYING
CELLS IN THE NEW
COUNTY JAIL.

Sheriff Berrie now has more muir
derers in the Glynn county Jail than
has been the case in many years. In
fact the sheriff cannot recall the time
when he had as large number at one
time charged with the serious offense
of murder
These who are occupying cells at
present are: w. b. and Archie Lyons,
of Jesup, w. c. Carter, of Baxley, all
white, and Prince Gale and Dan
Grant, Of this county, both colored.
The Lyens, as Is well known, are
awaiting trial at the June session of
the superior court. Young Taylor
who once made an effort to escape,
has once been tried and sentenced to
hang at Baxley, and is now waiting
the action of the supreme coart on a
petition for a new trial. The two ne
groes are held for murder in this
county. Gale has twice been tried
while Grant has been in Jail fer about
six weeks, charged with killing an
other negro near Sterling.

MAY SOON HAVE
A NEW OFFICIAL
MAP Of COUNTY
LOCAL FIRM OF SURVEYORS TO
MAKE PROPOSITION TO couN
TY COMMISSIONERS.
A New Map Of the County is Badly
in Many Years and Old One Causes
Some Confusion.

At the meeting of the county COM
missioners on next Tuesday, it is more
than likely that Torras & Charlton
the local civil engineers and survey
ors, will appear before the board with
a proposition to make a new and com
plete map of Glynn county, which is
badly needed just at this time.
While it is generally acknowledged
that a new map is one of the great
est wants of the county at present, it
is not known what action Will be tax
en- by the board, but it is believed
that they will look favorably to the
proposition and may order the map
made at once.
AS is well known, it has been many
years since an official map of Glynn
county was made. The fact that var
iOus changes have occurred in recent
years, the need of a new map is evil
dent almost every day. and no little
Inconvenience has been caused by
sCme of inaccuracies in the old map
of the county.
The question of a new map has
been discussed by various citizens of
the county for many years, lut moth
ing definite has ever been done. The
local firm, who are experienced in
their line, will offer to prepare the
map at as low a price as possible, and
it is more than probable that it will
be ordered during the present year.

AFTERMATH OF
the COLD SPELL
DAMAGE TO COTTON CROP HAS
BEEN BETWEEN IS AND IS
PER CENT.

Atlanta, Alril Is Now that the cold
snap is gone and reports are in lrom
every section of tee state, it is pre- ty
generally C needed that Commissioner
of Agriculture, r. G.. Hudson was not
very far wrong when he first esti-
mated the damage to the cotton crop
from % to 30 per cent.
And by the same token every bondy
heaved a mighty sigh Of gratitude
when the commissioner announced
that he was finally satisfied the fruit
crop mad not been extensively hurt.
The most serious phase of the cot
ton damage e, a scarcity of seed
with which to replant-will in a meas
ure be alleviated by the action of the
cotton seed oil mills in re-seIling seed
10 the farmers at reasonable price
The announcement of w. NJ. Hutch
inson, secretary of the Cotton Seed
Clushers' Association. in which he
stated that seed would be sold for 60
cents per bushel which is only ten
cents more than the oil mill paid for
them last fall, has by this time been
read in every section Of the state.
Not a little comment was caused
by this decision, and it has been of
the most complimentary nature 1t is
felt on every hand that the liberality
of the cotton seed millerS has aided
i'm large measure to avert a wave Of
hard fine in Georgia

LOCAL AUTOISTS
To FORM CLUB
AN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
TO BE ORGANIZED NEXT
MONDAY NIGHT.

Brunswick automobile owners have
nnally decided to form an organiza-
ton for the good of the people who
own machines and to join in the fight
how being waged in every section of
the country for better roads.
The formation of such an organiza-
tion has been discussed in this city
for weeks past, but no definite action
has ever been taken. 1t seems that
all of those who have autos were will
ing to join such club, but no one of
the autoists would take the initiative
in bringing about the formation of
the club.
Recently, however the matter has
been discussed, with the result that a
meeting has been called for next Mon
day night at the city hall, at which
an automobile clIb will be formally
organized, officers will be elected and
pans for the future of the club out
lined.
The main purpose of this organiza-
ton will be for the betterment of roads
Il tbs section generally and also to
protect the interests of the local auto
owners. 1t is expected that every man
in Brunswick who owns a machine,
will become a member of the club,
and, DIS there are about 35 in the city,
it is seen that the organization will
he quite large one.
Many things can be ACCOMPLISHED
by this club if the members enter
into it in the proper spirit In var.
ious cities in Georgia and elsewhere
the automobile people have done
great things in the way of road build
ing and road betterment, and it is
believed that the same can be accom-
plished here.
The meeting Monday night prom
ises to be a very interesting one and
every automobile owner in the city
is requested to be present.

Washington, d. c April 2S.-The
experience of the last half century
has shown that turpentining by the
box system has resulted in exhaust
ing tie producing forest at such a
rapid rate as to preclude all posi-
bility of a permanent production of
naval stores under that system in any
given region according to a state

forest service.

it says:
"The department of agriculture has
established By experiments that the
cup and gutter system Of deriving
naval stores yields thirty Per cent
more product taan the ancient meth

physically that thcy are in danger of

timber in thriftier condition because
it has not been seyeIy injured in box

very little coming from the las' nam
