popular attorneys in the state, and
the announcement that they have dis.

prise to many OF their friends.
For more than 25 years has this

that entire time both members of the
firm have practiced continuously in
this city as well as in other courts
Of the state Both of the members
have many times teen honored to va
rious positions by the people of the
city, and it was not only considered
the oldest and one Of the best known
law firms in the state, but one of the
strongest as well.
This dissolution, however, does not
mean that Brunswick is to lose either
of the well known attorneys. Both
Judge Crovatt and Judge Whitfield

TRIAL To
BEGIN MONDAY
LOCAL PEOPLE INTERESTED IN
THE CASE WILL LEAVE FOR
cORDELE TONIGHT.
For the Fourth Time the Ex-Sheriff
of Wayne County and His Son VII!
Be Tried for Murcering Fleming
Smith.

Attorneys, witnesses and others in.
terested in the case will leave the city
tonight for Cordele. where ex-Sheriff
w. Is. Lyons and his son, Archie
Lyons, will be placed on trial tomor-
row morning for the fourth time fer
the murder of Fleming Smith. which
occurred at Jesup two years ago.
Among the lawyers from this city
who are employed in the case are r.
p. Dart and ! A. Morris, for the state,
and Max Isaac for the defense All
of the other attorneys who took part
in the trial of the case in this city
several months ago, will also be pres
ent, while two new attorneys have
been added one ty the state and
one by the defense. Both of them re.
side in Cordele.
1t is expected that little difficulty
viii be experienced in securing a jury
in Crisp county, as the people of that
vicinity are not familiar with the cir
cumstances, they do not know the
defendants nor the man they murder
ed, and they are in position to quality
on the jury and try the case on its
merits.
This case is too well known to the
general reading public to be repeated
at this time. In the three previous
trials all of the facts were brought
out. At the first trial both the de
| PENDANTS were convicted and sentenc
ed to serve a life term in the peni
tentiary. A new trial was granted
but second jury could not be secu'
ed in Wayne county, and a change o
yenue brought the case to Brunswick
After the jury had been made III
and the state was ready to close j
vas discovered that one of the iu
rors was related to the defendant
| and another mistrial resulted.
Great interest is manifested in th'
case and the trial this week will b'
watched by people all over the stare

GET AN AUTO RIDE
TO JACKSONVILLE
THE TWO YOUNGSTERS WILL BE
CARRIED BACK IN MACHINE
THEY SWlPED.

Robert Webber and Raymond Mil
Ter, the two young men who were
arrested in this city Friday charged
with stealing an automobile from A.
NJ. Ives, of Jacksonville, will be car
ried back to the Florida city this
morning, and it is probable that they
will take another ride to Jacksonville,
but they will be in the custody of an
officer this time and another chauf-
feur will be at the wheel of the ma
chine.
Deputy Sheriff Vinzant arrived in
the city last night, accompanied by d
chauffeur who came to return the ma
chine. The officer stated last night
that re would probably return in tn
automobile, carrying the two youthfal
prisoners with him.
The young men seemed a little
more talkative yesterday, and to sew
eral people they told the story OF how
they secured the machine III Jackson
Vile and started out with it for At
lanta. They secured it 3rom in front
of the owners residence and at once
headed out of Jacksonville. They
spent the first night in the woods
and proceeded to Brunswick the next
day.
As tie machine has not been injnf-
ed in any way and will be returned 70
the owner. it is not expected that the
Young men will be punished very Sc
verely for their crime.

IS bRANTLEY IN
/ SENATE RACE?
REPORTS INDICATE THAT LOCAL
CONGRESSMAN WILL BECOME
81 A CANDIDATE.
Washington Correspondent of the Sa-
vannah Press, in Special Dispatch,
Says the Belief Prevails at CaEtol
That Brantley Is in the Race.

Persistent rumOrS continue to fly
lover Georgia to the effect that Con-
gressman w. G. Brantley, of his city,
will be a candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Senator Ter
rell who is now serving the uneXpir-
ed term of the late Senator Clay, and
whose successor will be named at
the session of the legislature in June.
The latest announcement of Mc.
Brantley's candidacy is contained in
an article in the Savannah Press,
sent ty the special Washington cor
respondent of that paper. 1t is as fol
lows: is f3iMs
Although no formal announcement
is yet obtainable, it is learned on the
1 highest authority here this afternoon
that Congressman VIM. G. Brantley, Of
the Eleventh Georgia district, will in
all probability be a candidate for :he
United States senate at the approach,
ing election Certain members of the
| Georgia delegation in the house are
fully cognizant that Mr.. Brantley is
icing urged to make the race as =
south Georgia man and that he is Sc
riously. considering announcement
within a short time.
1t may be said that there is consid
cradle sentiment among the Georgian'
here favoring Mr.. Brantley, who IS
recognized as one of the most able
men in the delegation, and who, al
the same time, is recognized as one
of the few constitutional experts oi
the lower body.
A South Georgia Man.
1t is learned that Mr.. Brantley, il
tie event he makes the race, which
is practically certain, will base some
of his claims for the senatorial toga
upon the fact that it is time that some
south Georgia representative goes tt
the United States senate. 1t is real
lied here, as well as it is throughout
the state, that it has almost become
habit to elect Georgia senators from
the northern and middle sections, tc
the exclusion of distinguished meT
of the wiregrass region.
Mr. Brantley and his friends arr
aware of this seeming discrimination
and it is a strong point in favor O
the candidacy of Brantley
Those at the capitol who are fam,i
lar with Georgia politics and the pres
sure now brought to bear upon Con
gressman Brantley predict that his
nomination will come within a ve"j
! short time.
Congressman Brantley was in 81
vannah on Tuesday, when it is under
stood that he told some intimate
friends that it was his intention to be
come a candidate for the United
States senate.

Another gem culled from The
Mlssourian's statements is this
bad citizenship is nearly al.
ways aggressive, whereas good
citizenship is too often apathet-
ic." rpe forces of evil are al
ways at work and never 60 on
on a vacation. So often the
charge IS brought up that poll
Ass ale corrupt, when the per.
son making the statement takes
no interest at all In politics.
Good citizenship is, as Mr.. Folk
says, too often apathetic, and
before a citizen of the State can
consistently charge politics with
being corrupt, he must first have
put bis shoulder to the wheel
and have tried to improve them.
