IMPORTANT One
PARKER, OF WAYCROSS,
is SUSTAINED IN VERY INTER-

1t Was Decided BY State Court of
Appeals and Is Thought to Be the
First Time That the Point in Cues

yesterday from the court of appeals,
ruled that in a case of criminal as

not have to be corroborated, but is in
itself sufficient, if it stands
The case before the court was that
of Need Rivers, who was convicted of
rape and sentenced to seven years at
hard labor by Judge 7. A. Parker, of
the superior court at Waycross. A
motion for new trial was made, but
was denied by the presiding judge.
The case was appealed on the ground
that Judge Parker erred in not hav-

SAVINGS BANKS
ARE SUCCESSFUL
THIS FACT DEMONSTRATED DUR
ING FIRST MONTH OF NEW
GOVERNMENT BANKS.
Government Appears to Be W,ll
Pleased With Showing Made Thus
Far-Effect Upon Deposits in Other
Banks Remains to Be Determined.

Brunswick's postal savings bank
has been in operation just one month
and IL business handled by the bank
der Sr&5ktates beyond doubt that it
will be a success.
According to reports sent out from
Washington these banks have proved
success in almost every section of
the country. Tue monthly circular
of the National City Bank, in it's is
sue few days ago, says:
''Basins their judgment on infor-
nation received from each of the As
offices SC. far established, the officials
Relieve "a 6 the success of the sys-
tenn so ~ ia Il iustifies them in
making " - 4 extension. 1t
is the pY sent intention af tie board
of truste. to advance along conserv-
ative lirss, and to that end congress
will be asked to make an appropria-
ton sufficient to maintain a consider
able number of additional postal saw
ings offices in each state, but nothing
like a general extension to include
even majority of the offices in the
country will lie undertaken at this
time.
What effect, if any, the opening of
the postal savings offices has had
upon individual deposits in banks in
towns where the system has been es-
tablished is not known to the officials,
as no Information bearing upon this
particular question has been asked for
or received by them. The consensus
of opinion, however, among those who
have given the matter closest atten-
ton is that local hanks will not be
materially affected one way or anoth-
er by reason of the establishment of
the new system"

DOROTHY STILL MISSING.
Report ssa New York that Body Was
Found Is Untrue.


New York, Feb. "a rumor that
the body of Dorothy Arnold had been
found in a Central Pari. lake was post
ed on newspaper bulletin board here
today and telephoned to the family
but it proved as baseless as all other
clues thus far discovered. Tue park
patrol found woman's shoe on the
edge of the largest lake of the parks.
it's size was 8 IL but that did not
quiet the rumor and swarms of report
ers and photographers were soon lin
ing the shores.
The police reported that they knew
nothing of the finding of any body and
so informed Mr.. Arnold, the father,
who was then on the point of joining
the throng about the lake. '"iss Ar
mold has now teen mieo'r2 - days.
There was the usual c'0 0p of rumors
concerning the young woman today,
but nothing tangible developed. Geo
S. Girls m, Jr, the young Pittsburger
whom r. atives sought abroad in the
hope tnat he had knowledge of her
whereabouts. is due in New York on
| Thursday next. He is aboard the
steamship Berlin and will pro- ably
confer vita Mr.. Arnold. although he
has declared that ne knows nothing

OkEFENOkEE IS
TO BE DRAINED
REPORTED THAT ENGLISHMEN
ARE SOON TO TACKLE THE
BIG PROPOSITION.
The Big Swamp in South Georgia,
Which Also Extends into Florida,
Has 5affled Army of Noted Engi-
neers in the Past.

Atlanta, Feb. "a company Of
tiating for the purchase of part or
all of the Okefenokee swamp, or a
lease of the swamp for a. long period
of years. They believe that by a
method that is used in Holland they
can drain this swamp, which hereto
of engineers.
The Okefenokee swamp is 40 miles
or more square. If it could be drain
ed it would furnish hundreds of acres
of excellent farming land, in addi-
ton a great quantity of cypress tim
bier which cannot now be utilized.
The company of Englishmen have
written to Atlanta in regard to the
Okefenokee swamp and from the tone
of their letters it is evident that they
believe the drainage of the swamp Is
fully practicable by their method.
Up to this time none of this swamp
land has been made available for
farming and sawmill men have not
penetrated more than a mile into it.
The rest of it lies useless. If the Eng
lishmen in Nova Scotia really sue
ceed in draining it, thew will accom-
plish an engineering feat that will at
tract attention throughout the United
States.
Several fortunes have already been
lost in an effort to reclaim the swamp
land. In attempting to drain it, the
Englishmen will be taking a big
chance.
The Okefenokee swamp is in south
east Georgia and extends over into
Florida

To Meet Here
The statement that the exchange
of stock will take effect early this
month also seems to add some color
to the story when it is known that
the annual meeting of the Brunswick
Terminal Railway and Securities com
pany will be held in Bruins
wick on Feb IA. Possibly at this
meeting the full facts will be made
public, but until that time local peo-
pie will ony have to indulge the hope
that all of these reports are true.
There are several local stockhod-
ers of the Brunswick Terminal and
Railway Securities company, among
them E. II. Mason, who is vice presi-
dent; F. d.. Aiken and F. ID. NJ
Strachan, while Albert Fendig e Co.
are the local agents While none OF
the Brunswick officials seem to be
aware of the reported exchange of
stock, it is known they attended an
important meeting of the company
held in New York in December, and il
may be that they are not at liberty tc
give out the transactions at that meet
ing.
At any rate it appears that there
is "somethInat doing" between the
company and the owners of the Geor
, gia Coast and Piedmont. and furthe
r. developments will be anxiously await
ed by the people of Brunswick.
