MILLIONS ARE STARVING
IN CZARiS GREAT REALM

st. Petersburg, Nov 28.--A measure
TO expend $44000,O00 from the imper-
ial exchequer for the relief of the
Russian famine sufferers viii be tax
en- up tomorrow and will undoubtedly
be passed. This appropriation is in
addition to a similar sum already ex-
pended by the government.
Crops were almost in complete fail
ure in a score of Russian provinces
this year, and it is estimated that no
less than 100000 people are in dire
need and lack the barest necessities
of life. In twelve of the twenty prov
inces the suffering is already severe
and many are dying daily of starya-
ton and its consequent diseases.
The government declares in its Of
fetal organ that Russia will be able
to cope with the famine, and that no
outside assistance will be necessary
Reports from several sections indicate
however. that the relief provided is
far from adequate.

A LETTER FROM
O'BERRY'S FATHER
WROTE SHERIFF BERRlE, ASKING
FOR FACTS ABOUT HIS
SONS CASE.

a. j. O'Berry was probably dead
ana buried before his father was
aware of the fact that he had been
convicted of murder, sentenced to
hang and executed.
On Sunday Sheriff Berrie received
a letter from C. T. Gatlin, who reside
in South Florida, stating that he I'M
derstood his son (O'Berry) was in ia
in Brunswick on a serious charge. He
asked the sheriff to please notify him
if this was true and tell him the facts
in the case.
The sheriff replied to the letter on
Sunday, but this reply did not reach
it's destination until Tuesday, after
O'Berry had been executed. Sheriff
Berrie wrote the father of the mar
a short letter and inclosed him a
clipping from The News Of Sunday.
which contained an article in connec-
ton with the preparations for the ex
ecution at St. Marys on Monday
Nothing further has been heard from
the father, but the son had been ex-
ecuted and buried probably before he
knew that his son had been sentenced

ENGLISHMEN SATISFIED
WITH SIR EDWARD GREY

London, Nov 28.-Overnight CON
sideration of Sir Edward Grey's ad-
dress of yesterday in the house OF
commons on the international situa-
ton, has served to emphasie the fav
orable view taken here of the effect of
his utterances.
There is some disappointment at
the rather acrid comment of the Ger
man newspapers, but It is realized that
their criticisms were written before
the full text of the speech had reach
ed Berlin, and it is hoped that a rur
ther study of Sir Edward Grey's re
marks will lead to more cordial re
reception Of Great Britain's proffer OF
friendship.
The stock exchange was not much
affected.

Have Made Out a Strong Case
Against Woman Charged With Kill
ing Her Husband.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 2S.-When Ger
trude Patterson reached court today
for resumption of her trial on the
charge of staying her husband she
was pale and wan; and deep circles
about her eyes gave mute evidence of
a sleepless and worried night.
An unpleasant scene marked the
testimony of the first witness who had
been originally called for the defense
The witness was Mrs. C. A. Jones, and
she was compelled to admit Jones was
not her real name nor her husbands.
The state brought out that the wit
ness had been married to man
named Burnwell, and counsel for the
state indirectly stated the man had
been tried for horse stealing in sew
eral counties of Colorado.
Mrs. Jones testified yesterday that
she witnessed an assault by Patter-
son on his wife.
Mrs. Mary X. Patterson, mother of
the slain man, being recalled, testified
that she paid all the expenses attend.

letter written by Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr, shortly before he was executed for
the murder Of his wife, was made
public today by w. H. Gates, who took
deep interest in Beattie while the
youth awaited execution.
The letter, apparently expressing
full confidence felt by Beattie that
peace had been made with his Maker.
reads: Dear Mr.. Gates-I am un-
able to think Of words that would
fully express my appreciation of the
interest which you seemed to take in
trying to prepare me for the Great
Beyond; though l can assure You that
your efforts were not all in vain.
so many things in the Bible you
explained to me which never under
stood before. only hope and pray
that you will be able to enlighten otn-
ers so that they may be prepared.
IF | were free I would ask for no
greater Joy than to bring others to
God.
"One night I will never forget, and
that was the occasion when your wife
and dear little girls sang for me. Give
my love to them and remember that
I am praying for you all, that God be
with you all till we meet again FARE
well.

LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THEM
CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN APT
PRoACHiNG PRIMARY.
Law Provides That All Taxes Must Be
Paid Six Months Prior to the Pri-
mary in Order to Be Qualified to
Participate in Election.

A large percentage of the voters of
Glynn county, who voted in the last
state election and who have paid all
their 1910 taxes. are disqualified and
will not be eligible to vote in the CUB
ernatorial primary to be held next
month.
This state of affairs has all been
brought about by this new election
law introduced in Georgia a few years
ago, which provides that before a vo-
ter is qualified he must have paid all
state and county taxes six months
prior to the date of the primary.
When the present primary was first
called it was stated that every voter
who participated in the last general
state election and who had paid all
1911 taxes was qualified to vote in
the special primary, but a later decis.
ion by the attorney general brought
out the fact that if the 1911 taxes had
not been paid six months previous to
the primary you we're not a qualified
voter, therefore all OF those in Glynn
county, who are resting under the i'm
preston that they are eligible, and
Who did not pay their 1910 taxes be-
fore July 5, will find themselves dis
qualified.
just how many voters viii be
@ Is aals snr'esM law Is not
yet known. bat probably one fourth
If not more, Of the total number
registered Will find themselves dis
qualified, There are many voters in
the county who never pay their taxes
until late in the year, after execu-
tions have been issued When the
city registration books open the tax
payers begin TO realize that in order
to register for the city primary they
must first pay their state and county
taxes, and those who let the matter
run along this year cannot participate
in the state primary.
Tax Collector Read will. no doubt
find it quite a task to go over his
books and see just when all taxpayers
paid up, in order to furnish the regis.
trars with a list. There are many
people in the county who do not know
exactly when their taxes were paid
and it win be up to the tax collector
to say who is and who is not eligible
to register.
This condition Of affairs does not
exist only in Glynn county, but it ap.
pears to be the same all over the
state, ard many voters, who have
never before failed to vote in state
election, viii find themselves disquali-
fed to participate in the special cleo
tiou this year.

HOW BRUNSWICK
WILL SPEND DAY
ALL PLACES OF BUSINESS TO BE
CLOSED ToMoRRoW-MANY
GOING TO SAVANNAH.

Practically every place of business
in Brunswick will be closed tomor
row, Thanksgiving day. All merchants
OF the city, or rather all of the lead
ing ones have signed an agreement
to close for the entire day. The post
office, banks and other public places
will, as usual, be closed, and but little
business will be transacted during Ii.
day.
1T is expected that hundreds OF
-runswickians will spend the day il
Savannah, where the Grand Prize au-
tomobile race will be held. Many local
people are already in that city, 9TH
ers will so over today and tomorrow
morning the A., B. & A. will operate
a special train for the benefit of those
who are able to get away for the day
only. This train will leave the city
in the morning promptly at A O'Clock
and will arrive in Savannah before the
big race starts in order that Bruins
wickians can see the beginning OF
what will prove the greatest automo-
bile race in the history of the coun-
try.
In the past Thanksgiving has al
ways been a great day for nimrods
in this state, and the woods were sim.
ply crowded with men and dogs, but
this year it is unlawful to shoot quai
before December 1, and consequently
those accustomed to spending the day
in the woods will have to find some
other kind of amusement.

\ HUSBANDS LOVE.

Somebody has been interviewing
Nine. Maeterlincll on the subject of
wifely duty. and the wife of the Bel
gian poet and dramatist gives these
directions for the use of women who
desire to retain the love of their hus-
bands:
Never allow hirelings to tend your
husband in what concerns his bodily
welfare.
See that his clothes are ready each
day and hefitting the season of the
year.
When your husband is in a bad
temper don't develop similar symp-
toms. but when he i merry initiate
him plentifully.
Don't fondle him before meal time
kisses to a hungry man are as soap
bubbles to a parched throat.
These instructions will do very well
as far as they go but there are sew
eral points that Nine Maelerinck has
failed to cover
Every wife should be an expert
mauicurist so that she may keep her
husbands nails in good condition.
She should change the strings in his
shoes when they need changing.
She should always remember, if his
love seems TO be growing cold, that She
cannot scold it into a flame.
When he Is not inclined to talk she
should refrain from asking questions
She should always know where his
collar buttons are.
And, above all, she should cease to
remind him in the presence of com
pany that he was crazy to get her.
