Barron Is INDICATED,

-
The action of the committee fol-
lowed the reading of the report of
the special auditor of the American
Audit Company, who had been en-
ployed to investigate the records kept
IN the office of Mr.. Barron.
The report of the auditor complete
ly vindicated Mr.. Barron. 1t showed
that disbursements from his office
had been made in accordance with
the law, and that the records thereof
had been accurately kept.
The only fault found by the audit
or was in the system of keeping the
accounts, which was not as modern
as 1t should be, but for which Mr.
barron was in no way responsible
IL was stated, in fact, that Mr.. Bar
ron had considerably simplified the
method which was in vogue when
he assumed the office under the adj
ministration of Governor Brown.
The author of the letter charging
mat Mr.. Barron had been guilty of
grating stated specifically that he
mad misappropriated funds in CON
nection with the remodeling and rem
oVatlng of the halls of the senate and
the house of representatives. The
report of the auditor shows that Mr..
Barron had nothing whatever to do
with the letting of those contracts
1t also shows that in the matter of
purchasing coal for the capitol he
mad complied with the law by letting
the contract to the lowest bidder.
Records 10000 Cut Out of Book.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the report of the auditor was
mat several pages of the book in

covering a period from August
1907, to June 80, 1909. had been
cut out of the book, which was the
only record showing the proper dis
trlbution of expenditures for that
| period
I1ls feature of the report caused
some CONSERVATION in the committee.
1t had no relation to Mr.. Barron s
lncumbency because it covered a
period prior to his taking charge of
the office. 1t was suggested. unofi-
clally, by members of the committee
that this matter should be looked
into, and it is very probable that it
Will be incorporated in the present

THOROUGHLY oVERHAuLED
THE CONTRACT AWARDED

The congregation of the Beth Tef.
filoh have decided to make a number of
lmprCVeentS on the synagogue and
the work will begin at once. The con
tracts have already been awarded and
they call for a general overhauling of
the temple, including re-painting, etc,

rebuilt to a great extent and when the
work is finished it will be as good
and as pretty a building as the day it
was completed.
The money to make improvements
has been raised by the ladies aid So
ciety of the church, who have been
at work energetically for a number

COMMITTEES GET TO WORK
ON THE BASEBALL PROJECT
City and Suburban to Be Asked to
Aid in Movement.

The various committees appointed
at a meeting of the baseball associa-
ton are now actively at work, but
very little progress can be made at
present owing to the fact that all OF
the officials of the City and Suburban
Railway company are out of the city
just at present and those interested
in the baseball movement are enxious
TO see just what aid they may expect
from the trolley company.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
street car company will profit more
than any other concern by good base
ball in Brunswick, and for this reason
the association thinks the company
should assist in a substantial way in
the effort that is being made to or
ganize a fast club, secure a new park
and give the people of the city first
class baseball.
AS soon as the officers of the COM
pany return d meeting with them
will be held and it is expected that
scme definite agreement will be
reached.

Brunswick the most widely known and
discussed moving picture in the
world today.
This picture is the Fly Pest which
since its release three weeks ago has
practically reyolutionized hundreds of
the large cities of the north where it
mas been shown. The physicians and
the boards of health in nearly every
city in which this has been shown
have attended in body. secured this
film and exhibited it to all the school
children as they considered it the
most educational film ever conceived.
The common house fly is the subject,
and this picture shows just how this
little pest is the carrier of many dread
diseases. This picture of course, can
not be called beautiful, but once seen,
it will never be forgotten.
The Pastime cordially invite the
board of health and all physicians to
be their guests tonight.

Very Encouraging Increase Over
Census of 1eoo-lncrease Has Been
Among the Whites Exclusively.

Now that the work of taking the
census Ill Brunswick and Glynn county
is about completed, the enumerators
having only few more days in which
TO complete the work, many people
are asking the question as to what
will be the population of Brunswick
as well as the county.
No big claims are being made, and,
while no figures are yet obtainabIe
Vt is known to be an absolute fact
that Brunswick has made a very en-
courag1ng gain, and this too exclus-
lively among the white people. AS
a matter of fact it is believed that
there may be slight decrease among
the colored population which is at
tribIted to prohibition, as many ne
groes followed whiskey cut of this city
and but few have since come here to
take their places.
BY the census of 1900 Brunswick's
population was placed at 9,0S1, while
that of Glynn county was given at H.
BIT, therefore the population of the
coInty, exclusive of the city proper,
was only 5,236.
While it is known that there has
been an increase in the city, it is
believed that the county as a whole.
viii Show even a larger percentage
of increase. Brunswick's city limits
have not been extended since the cen
| sus Of 1900 but still dozens of houses
nave been erected on the outskirts of
the city, and practically all of them
are occupied. These people will not
be counted in the city's population,
but will be given to Glynn county
Not only in the immediate vicinity
of the city, but in almost every sec
tion of the county new people have
come in and the county districts are
more thickly populated than ever be-
! fore. The only section OF the couiitp
which is likely to show a decrease
will be at st, Simon mills, where, ten
years ago, many people employed at
the large Hilton and Dodge Mill re-
sided on the island. Since that time
the mill has been abandoned and con-
seqlently many of the people have
left the island.
But on the whole the increase in
city and county is going to be very
encouraging. The entire increase
will be among the white people, and
it is expected that Brunswick will
make as good a showing as many
other cities in the state
The lists will be forwarded to Super
visor Perham probably next week but
it will be the latter part of June be-
fore the official figures will be given
out from Washington.
