ENCOURAGE the Bows.

When a boy presents an idea that
is feasible, pat him on the back and
encourage him, and he will develop a
love for agriculture and become the
pride of your heart in your declining
years and will love the homes and
the farms that you have worked so
hard to pay for.
If farming has not paid in your case
by all means give the boy a chance
to begin without your handicap.
What was good enough for me is
good enough for the boy" is a maxim
unworthy of a New England farmer.
Give the boy chance at an agricul-
tural education and he will help you
to stop the leaks and turn the past
and present into a brighter future.

who is condemned by many OF his
former friends for so doing. Prose
cutting Attorney Handland followed
Boyce with the closing argument,
which lasted until late this afternoon.
Mrs. Schenk shows signs of suffer

managed to show during the first
days of the trial, has disappeared
entirely. She sobs frequently during
the arguments OF the attorneys, es-
pecially when her character is attack

Attorney Boyce assailed the testi-
mony of Eleanor Zoeckler, the detec-

witness employed for the purpose
of squirming her way into the af-
fections of Mrs. Schenk and playing
the part of female Judas lscariot.

AUTO CLUBS WILL
HAVE A BIG
BARBECUE
BRUNSWICK AND JACKSONVILLE
CLUBS TO MEET AT OVENS
FERRY FOR BIG TIME ON WASH
INCToN'S BIRTHDAY.

A general discussion of automobile
roads, big barbecue and a fine time
genel ally is on tapis for the members
of the Brunswick and Jacksonville au-
tomobile clubs at Owens Ferry on
Washington's birthday, Feb %, and
those who are to attend are looking
forward to the occasion with great in
terest.
When President Brown, of the local
auto club, was in Jacksonville last
week he discussed with members of
the Florida club the probability of
holding big meeting at Owens Fer
ry, which is midway between the two
cities. The suggestion at once met
with the hearty approval of the Flor
ida autoists, with the result that the
barbecue has been arranged for the
date named.
1t will tie in the nature of a heart
to-heart talk on good roads between
Brunswick and Jacksonville and be-
sides the members of the two automo-
bile clubs, the county commissioners
of the various counties and other citi-
zens will be invited, while an invita-
ton will he extended also to the mem
bers of the Savannah automobile club.
Definite arrangements have not
yet been completed, but the outing
will include an old-time Camden
county barbecue, with the side re-
freshments, while a meeting will be
held and movement started for bet
ter roads between the two cities. 1t
is believed that every member of the
local club will make the trip to Owens
Ferry and each machine will carry
three or four passengers. A large
crowd is also expected from Jackson
vile and the affair will not only be
an enjoyable one, but it will no doubt
prove a big boost to good roads
throughout the territory between
Brunswick and Jacksonville.

A NEGRO ON TRIAL
ON CHARGE OF
MURDER
NAT RICHARDS, CHARGED WITH
KILLING EUGENE PROCTOR ON
ST. SIMON - OTHER CASES
TRIED YESTERDAY.

In the Glynn superior court yester-
day afternoon Nat Richards was plac-
ed on trial for the murder of Eugene
Proctor. Both the negroes lived on
st. Simon and the shooting occurred
near the mills several months ago.
After the shooting Richards made his
escape from the island and was cap
tured in this city a few days later on
a vessel which was ready for sea and
on which the negro intended to ship.
From the evidence introduced yes
terday it seems that Richards and
Proctor were having a little target
practice in the back yard of one of
the negroes. They were shooting at
targets for cash prizes. In some way,
it appears an argument came up
with the result that Proctor was shot,
the load entering his leg. He died
the same afternoon.
A large number of negroes from
the island are witnesses in the case
and some of the testimony Is very
conflicting. The case will probably be
completed this morning.
A number of other criminal cases
Were disposed of before the murder
case was taken up. They were:
In the case of Joe Prayer, charged
with assault and intent to murder

WHARF CASE TO
Be ARGUED IN
SUPREME COURT
LOCAL ATTORNEYS LEFT LAST
NIGHT TO APPEAR BEFORE
THE HIGH TRIBUNAL.
Argument viii Be on Bill of Excepr
tions Brought BY Attorneys Repre-
senting Mrs. Bena Wallace and 9th
ers-May Be End of Famous Case

The celebrated st. Simon wharf
case will be argued again today he
fore the supreme court of Georgia,
which, it is expected, after the high
tribunal renders it's decision, will see
the final end of the case, which has
been in the courts for the past year.
Tue hearing today will be on a bill
of exceptions filed by attorneys rep
resenting Mrs. Bena Wallace and 9TH
ers, who are the owners of the new
wharf at st. Simon, about which
there has been so much litiga ton
Among those leaving last night to
appear before the supreme court to-
day were Judge A. d. Gale and Judge
Boiling Whitfield, representing Mrs
Wallace, and Judge D. w. Krauss and
Col. H. F. Dunwody, representing the
st. Simon Transit company
1t will be remembered that after
the supreme court decided the case
in favor of the st. Simon Transi
company several months ago, that
company petitioned Judge Conyers
for an injunction to prevent the use
of the wharf at the island which was
then being used by the steamer Ellen
This injunction was granted and the
attorneys for Mrs. Wallace at once
took exceptions and for the second
time carried the case to the supreme
court. Upon the decision of the high
er tribunal depends the final outcome
of the case, it is believed. II the ac-
ton of the lower court is sustained
then the dock will have to be remov-
ed or it cannot be used at all by the
owners, but, if on the other hand, the
decision of the local court is reversed,
then the case will take a new turn
and the owners will probably be al
lowed to use the wharf. While the
arguments will be made today it is
not yet known when the court will
render its decision in the case.
