ordinary weather conditions, the nav
igation here is very difficult and at
night and in thick weather a great
| deal more so, on account of the diff
ficulty in seeing the lights; the entire
| absence of signal stations and houses
of refuge along this coast with which
to communicate for information in
case of disaster. -
''The cities are also situated at
distances from the shore line that
, communication with them by signals
| is impossible, thereby excluding the
Smaller vessels and schooners not
equipped with the wireless from any
outside aid at all, and they, on ac-
count of not seeing the lights from
the regular paths of navigation must
go as close to shore as possible, thus
exposing themselves to dangerous
shoals.
The impossibility of any commun-
ication here is further emphasized by
the fact that vessels known to have
been continually trying to communi-
cate by signals with the lighthouses
along the coast have not been able to
do so, for the simple reason that the
lights lack the adequate equipment in
this line
Georgia's Great Position.
Now, considering that the state Of
Georgia occupies the first place in the
world for the supply of naval stores
and exhibits the greatest cotton ship
ping in the United States, not to speak
of it's Importance in the export of
lumber, turpentine, etc, cargoes Of
which are daily leaving its port,
either south or northward bound, and
passing along its coast, we may we'll
wonder why no appropriations have
been made to remedy these deplorable
conditions.
Port statistics show that no less
than 2,1SO steamers and schooners
visited the ports of Georgia during
1911. They took on cargoes Of the
states various products. All of these
vessels were similarly exposed to dan
gers that but for the oversight of the
government would be remediable. And
there are instances -, in which vessels
with their crews and cargoes have
here met with destruction, disasters
which ought to have been averted had
a timely and an early attention been
paid to the conditions along the
coast"

SAVING
POSTS NEEDED
ON GA COAST
MARINER POINTS OUT NEED OF
BETTER PROTECTION
FOR SHIPPING.
Georgia is Only State Along the eoast
Which is Not Protected-Danperous
1865 Miles of Coast Feared by All
Seamen. A 4getSx.

Speaking for seafaring men seneral-
H and particularly those mariners
who must needs come within striking
range of the coast of Georgia, ma
riner of seasoned experienced and ex-
pert knowledge, has given The Savan-'
nah News an interesting Interview
about the absolute lack of hfe saving
stations on this immediate coast. OF
all the states along the Atlantic, &eor-
gia is the single exception among
those which have life savings protec-
ton for the wrecked and distressed
mariner.
Georgia, with its broken and irreg-
slar coastline of 165 miles, and with
great maritime commercial relations,
was apparently not to be found Oh .0e
map iI the season when life-savilig
stations were established as We looG
in vain along its shores, from norm 20
south and vice versa, for any station
from which timely relief and assist
ance could be re 1dered to vesse's and
persons distressed along it's eoaas:,
said tEis man, who for good re lschs
withholds his identity.
No Life Saving Stattoa.
IF we follow the eastern coast
from it's northermost point e. the
southwark, we find that al of it's
states have received their shasc of
life-saving stations Massachusetts,,
Tor example, shows not Jess than 30
stations New York, 20, New Jersey,
80, North Carolina, 20, and SO f3r1t.
whereas Georgia has none.
1T appears ridiculous to maintain
the beliefs that life saving stations
are not necessary on the coast OF
Georgia, inasmuch as sea-going YES
sells are as liable to wreckage there
as along any other coast where such
stations are and have been establish
ed; and it is certainly unjust TO de-
ny the aid that other coast states
afford to lives and property, simply
because a crew and its vessel is un-
lucky, and happens to pick out the
Georgia coast as place tOf wreck
age, instead Of a more favored one
III IulS particular IluC.
The Coast of Georgia.
LET us for a moment consider the
coast under question, and the mari
time commercial Importance of the
state with subsequent shipping, for
justification of the statement that
life-saving stations are necessary. In
looking over the map we find that the
coast line of Georgia is very broken,
irregular and indented-more so,
perhaps, than any other of the eastern
states--with great number Of ISL
ands and shoals.
$50, for instance, coming from north
southwark bound, we encounter the
following comparatively greater is
lands, Tybee, Ossabaw, st. Catharines,
Sapelo, ST. Simon and Cumberland,
the conformation and continuation of
which result in smaller intervening
ones, with many jetties, bars and sea-
ward extending shoals, that cover in
an almost unbroken line, the entire
coast.
"On this account We find steam
ers' track or paths of navigation, in
many instances, extending as far as
eight miles from the shore, and it is
not considered advisable to approach
any nearer, if not using the entrances
of the regular channels into the har-
bors.
at is easily understood that under
such circumstances and even under

B0RUM SAYS HE Sn0T
 "SPlRIl" IN THE. ROAD
GEMS ADMITS ATTACK, BUT
 GIVES THAT AS REASON
Hudgcns Not Out of Danger-lniec- ton Feared-lMay Arrest
 Another.

"I sho diI .hink dia; was a splrl. and when l seed it l fired"
 Such was the excuse offered by tPrna:her' Borum, the big negro who is in the county jail charged With as- sauit with intent to kill, following his attack on J. G. Hudgens, the Sherr.ll mechant at Sherrill Tuesday night. In a cell nearby is his nep- hew, "Boots' Borum, a young negro, who was arrested at the same time by Saer if Edgar Brewster, Deputies Green, Glover and Quattlebaum, after the officers had investigated the af- fair and mede, sure that Borum was the guilty man. "Boots" claims that he had nothing whatever to do with the q tack and as far as the officers have been able to learn they find his story to be true.
 Joan Williams, another negro res = dent of Sherrill, who was known to be willa "PreacLer" Borum before the shooting, and who ran off from his home in his night clothes when the officers went to, his house. has not been arrested, but will most likely be ja led before the preliminary hear ing. The officers want to know what Williams knows about the affair.
 Borum shutters considerably and appears tc' be a m-m of only average intelligence. He admits the shooting of MT. Hudgens, but gives as his reason that he was afraid of "sp r. its'' aild that when he met the "spir- it" in the ro'al he shot him. Sheriff Brewster and others who have in- vestiyated the affair, are of the opin- ion that Borum planned to hold-up and rob MT. Hudgens after he left Ilis store, but that when MT. Hud- gems refused to hall. and swept h $ assallant aside the negro shct him and ran away. Borum admits that he ran away after firing the shot.
 Dr. o. w. Clark who is attending MT. Hudgens at the Davis Hospital, said yesterday that his. patient was not cnt rely out of danger. Infection is fewed, said Dr. Clark, and MT. Hudgens' threat, which is badly l swollen, is causing him much trouble He cannot swallow, and his breath ing is difficult.
 "BOUts'' Is Released.
 At late hour yesterday afternoon on recommendation of District At
 orney T. Hays Nixon, Abraham Boots Borum, who was at first thought to be impl cated in the shooting of J. C.. Hudgens, was re- lle:sed from the county jail. 1nves- tigation showed, it is said, that evi- dence was not suffic ent to warrant his being held m custody.

would be no danger of any team blow ing up on account of failure to meet expenses, which has always caused the early demise of all professional leagues started in the state.
 This nature of baseball would bring out true town and city rivalry, Ee cause the players would for the most part be native sons, and the home guard would pull all the stronger for them.
 In such league Little Rock could place a team Of Class D strength, from the pick of the City League. Fort Smith, which also has city league; Hot Springs, Russellville, Newport, Searcy, Batesville, Hope, Pine Bluff, Helena, Jonesboro, Para gould and any number of chances are the towns wanting in would be so numerous the organizers would have to sub-divide the state into number of leagues, and let the winners play a series for the state championship at the close of the regular season.
