II. }. HAssoN BUYS BOONE FARM
AND WILL LOCATE IN
THIS COUNTY.

H. J. Hasson of Washington, who
has been spending several days in
the city looking over various farm

where in the South and after visit
ing various sections came to the
conclusion that Glynn county offers
the best opportunity to the man seek
ing a location for farming purposes.
He made Investigations in various
places in this section, looking over
a number of farms, but came to the
conclusion that no other sections or
fered better opportunities than Glynn
county.

IS In FAVOR OF
A BOND ISSUE
CAPT. F. D. M. STRAcHAN WRITES
INTERESTINGLY ON THIS
IMPORTANT SUBJECT.

A few days ago The News sent let
tiers to a number of prominent busi-
ness men and property owners ask
ing for an expression as to the wis
dom of a bond issue in Brups~ WICK
and Glynn county for interna, and
permanent Improvements. Quite a
number of these gentlemen have re-
piled to the letters which will be pub
lished from time to time. Among
the replies received, the following
from Capt. F. D. NJ Strachan will be
OF interest:
Brunswick, May 9Th, 1912.
Editor Brunswick News:
Dear sir: Much absence from city
has deferred an earlier reply to your
letter of April %. AS taxpayer my
views are that any city or county
with the prospective commercial de-
velopment that our community is cap
able of, should place themselves in
the position of big business firm
or corporation, using city or county
credit fully, but judiciously, just as
business concerns do for the purposes
Of development.
For these reasons l favor bond Is
sues for permanent improvements, ,and
in view of the steady growth of our
city, its low and level situation, feel
our first need is exte sion of the
sewerage plant and lines. A severe
epidemic of sickness might not only
be fraught with bereavement and sor-
row to many OF us, but undoubtedly
give our city a commercial blow re-
quiring years to overcome.
Also favor continuance or the
broad policies recently adopted to-
ward manufacturing plants and en-
terprises, also all reasonable aid and
facilities to rail lines already here

now the north and south direct main
line of the Seaboard. What we have
lost by being off the direct main line
is almost impossible to estimate
therefore, l favor taking no more
chances. Little acorns make giant
live oaks. Again apologizing for delay
in replying, Yours truly,
F. D. M. STRACHAN.

KEEPS JURY OUT
FOR MANY HOURS
TWELVE MEN IN THE ABBOT
CASE HAVE BEEN TIED UP
SINCE WEDNESDAY.

The jury which has been trying to
arrive at verdict il the case of
the state VS.. I. j. Abbott, charged
with selling whisky, is still out,
hopelessly divided, and it is prob
able that Judge Krauss, of the city
court, will not call the twelve men
IN and declare a mistrial beflre sn's
afternoon.
The case was given to the jIry late
Wednesday afternoon. 1t was at first
thought that verdict woul1 be
reached in a very short time, bur
after the panel remained out for two
or three hours it was at once thought
that mistrial would be decla d.
All of Wednesday night the jury
was out and when the court co lVened
yesterday morning Judge Krauss call
ed in the members and tney an
nounced that they had not arrived at
verdict. Later they again report :
ed to the court and asked 70. r.
charge on certain points connecteI
with the case. This the cout d |,
but it was to no avail, and during tre
entire day the jury remained in ia
room wrangling over the case.
Though court recessed during the
afternoon, the jury was left out, and
they spent a second night with the
case. 1t is probable, however, that
if a verdict is not reached today
Judge Krauss will call the jury in and
declare mistrial.

General Young's Speech.
In accepting the office of comman
der-in- chief, General Benefit H.
Young said in part: III
You have chosen me, my COM
rades, to what / consider as the high
est and greatest honor in the gift
of men. I would rather be comman-
der-in- chief of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans than sit in the chair
now occupied by William H. Taft as
president of the United States
Commander-in- Chief Election.
Veterans of the South this morning
assembled in large numbers in the
vast auditorium at Camp Gordon to
elect commander in chief, while
others, housed in the government
tents, packed their satchels and their
knapsacks and prepared for the re.
turn home after the parade this after
noon. Interest in the selection of
commander in chief is intense among
the veterans. They entered into this
matter with more feeling than in the
selection Of the next meeting place,
and long before the convention was
called to order they assembled and
discussed earnestly and feelingly the
probable cation. 3,
Partisans of General Walker, the
present commander are determined
that he shall be honored with the
honor which fell to him upon the
death of the beloved Gordon a few
months since. Friends of Gen. BEN
nett H. Young of Louisville, are ac-
lively promoting his candidacy. The
followers of General Van Zandt of
Texas, comprising mostly the veterans
of the trans Mississippi department,
are likewise strong in their conten-
tion that he is the logical man for
the post. Their most effective ap-
peal is that the honors be divided,
and urge that the West be given the
commander now that the East has
captured the next convention. General
Walker takes the position that the
office of commander in chief should
not be solicited, and for that reason
he is not an active candidate.
Monster Parade in Streets.
The Macon reunion committees are
working hard this morning to perfect

lows:
To the Democratic Voters of the

my candidacy to represent you in the
Sixty third congress, and in soliciting
your support and influence, deem it
proper that you should first know my

pies:

4. Those who are best able to bear
the burden of taxes should be re-
quired to do so, and, therefore, | faycr
a tax upon all incomes in excess o.
81, 900.
4. Water furnishes the nltural
and cheapest means Of transportation,
our navigable streams should be i'm

SIXTEEN THOUSAND VETERANS
STEP TO MARTIAL MUSIC IN :,
THE CENTRAL CITY.
One of the Most Successful Reunion
in the History of the Confederate
Veterans Closes at Macon-General
Young Elected Commander.

Macon, May 8. = Sixteen thousand
soldiers of the old South today
marched in review before $4,000 visf-
tors from all over Dixie and brought
to a close the public functions of the
tWenty-second annual reunion of the
united Confederate Veterans.
Always the spectacular feature of
the meetings, the parade today was
no less impressive than those of any
other years, although the ranks of
rrost regiments were thinner, and
many who have marched are known
to have responded to their last taps. -
The broken tramp of the gray clad
warriors and the sight of bullet-tor
fiagss made historic pageant which
called to mind the great struggle of
tne sixties, the sun of the Confeder-
acy which rose so bright at Bull Run,
attained its zenith at Chancellors-
vile, and set in sad glory at Apo
mattox.
A few men from almost every one
OF the Southern armies were present
boys from the Army of Northern
Virginia who went through the me-
morable campaigns of Lee, Jackson
and Joseph, E. Johnson, those who
followed the banner of Albert Sidney
Johnston in the West, a few of Sterl-
ing Prices volunteers from Missouri,
and those who were in Texas with
Kirby Smith, the last to surrender.
5000 GeorQians in Line.
Nearly 5000 Georgians composed
the largest delegation from any one
state. q
Probably the most interesting body
of veterans was the detachment of
Forests cavalry, which headed the
line of march. Accompanying it was
little Nathan Bedford Forrest, grand
son of the great leader of the same
name, dressed in the uniform of a
major general, G.. S. A.
The parade, including the automo-
biles and carriages carrying civilians,
sponsors of the reunion and members
of organizations affiliated with the
u c. ", was more than a mile long,
and wound through sixteen blocks of
the city shaded streets
The long walk was too much for
some of the older veterans, and they
dropped out, being Immediately cared
for by ambulance corps, provided by
the city.
General Young Elected.
General Bennett H. Young, OF Lou
isville, formerly governor of Kentuc-
ky, is the unanimous choice of the
United Confederate Veterans for
commander chief. He was elect
ed by acclamation today, after Gen
eral G. Irvine Walker and General w.
K. Van Zandt had withdrawn their
nominations.
Early in the convention of the vet
erans this morning, the sentiment for
General Young was apparent. Re-
peatedly speakers would be interrupt
ed by prolonged cheers for the Ken
lucky veteran, and when the nOmi-
nations began there were frequent de-
mands that the vote be taken. Gen
eral Walk & was nominated in a
glowing speech by General White,
commanding the Army of Virginia. ,and
by General Te4guaof South Carolina.
General Young was nominated by
General Wells of Jacksr', Miss, and
by H. A. Herbert of = Abama, for
mer member Of .&leNaa cabinet.

of Gov. Tillman. But for sew
eral years he has been on the
bench. which necessarily re-
moved him from politics and
from contact with the people.
Since he has been out of politics
a large part of the voters have
arrived at the age to exercise
their franchise. Hundreds OF
young men haye who have be-
come 81 years of age and have
qualified themselves to vote, do
not know Judge Jones, and pos
sibly some of them have never
heard Of him. His strength is
unknown.
He would make an excellent
governor. and we do not think
the people would make a mis-
take to elect him, but one thing
is sure-if he hopes to win, he
will have to hustle, ard hustle

A Farmers Warehouse.

The question of building a
warehouse at Pickens for the
farmers to store their future
cotton crops, or so much thereof
as they may desire to store, is
being agitated. Mr. J. F. Hen
dricks, of Liberty, was in town
last week and stated that he
was heartily in favor of such a
scheme, and that he would in a
short while make a canvass of
the county to that end. He
thinks that with warehouses all
over the South properly man.
aged the farmers Gun control
such situations as they are up
against now
Of co lrse Pickens is the place
to build the warehouse. It is
the central point in the county
and can be reached easier than
any other town in the county.
It " ould be most convenient for
the greater number of farmers
in many respects. We have
ample railroad facilities for haul
ing all the cotton that might be
shipped to or from this place,
and. we believe our business
men would give substantial aid
to such an enterprise. Here is
the Sentinel, farmers. to be used
for you and by you in any way
you may wish to help you.
