A case involving the colored society

tice Lambrigkt's court this afternoon.
when Murray Polite will be tried on
the charge of assault with intent to
murder, while Grant Allen, the we'll
known barber, is acting as the prose-
cutor il the case.
Behind this case is long story
among the colored society Of the city,
which brings out the fact that an eff
fort is being made to divide the mu-
latto from the ebony hue of the city.
1t seems that in the past the two
branches of the race have been mix
ing socially, but recently a colored
literary society was organized, and
the black, man was eliminated. This
brought about some trouble, as the
black people who had heretofore roll
ed in the upper society set felt Of
Tended at the action OF their lighter
brothers, and several little near fights
have been the result
At any rate, Grant Allen, who is
one of the leaders of the new literary
society, and Murray Polite, who
seems to have been eliminated, be-
came at outs over the affair. On
Wednesday night, it seems, Police
called at Aliens home on Gloucester
street and asked for a conference
Some words passed, and it seems that
Allen stepped back into his front door
and forthwith came a regular shower
of brickbats. The front door glass
was smashed into smithereens and for
time it appeared that the entire
house would be wrecked.
Yesterday Allen took out warrants
charging Police with assault with in
tent to murder Polite, on the other
hand, claimed that he did not hurl the
bricks. He says he was coming down
the front steps when some other ne
groes came along in front of the house
and started the bombardment, and
that he was not mixed in 1t in any
way.
These facts, however, will be brought
out at the preliminary hearing today,
and Brunswick's colorad society set Is
wtching the case with interest. AL
len is represented by Major r. e
Dart, while Judge Max Isaac will ap

HUNTING is NOW
OVER In GEORGIA
A TOTAL OF 274 LICENSES WERE
ISSUED TO HUNTERS IN
THIS COUNTY.

For the hunting season in Glynn
county, and the state of Georgia during
the season of 1911-12, which began
on December / and came to a close
yesterday 2T4 licenses were issued to
hunters by County Game Warden
Golden. OF these 112 were county Ii.
cenSeS, 143 state, and 10 nonresident
These licenses brought in total Of
1927. 1t is understood that Glynn
ranked about eleventh among the
counties of the state in the number
of licenses issued, which shows that
this county, in ratio to its population,
has more hunters probably than any
other county in the state.
AS the hunters of Glynn county have
been at a great disadvantage in
slau shtering game during the season
now brought to close, particularly
during the past several weeks, on ac-
count of the very bad weather, many
of them have taken advantage of the
opportunity to get in the woods dur
ing The past few days.
According to the county game
warden the game law has been we'll
enforced in Glynn county, most of
the hunters and sportsmen of this
county having been in favor of the
game law being respected. The es-
tablishment of the game law has been
good thing for Glynn county. 1t
has bad the effect of putting an end
to DOT shooting in the county, and
putting great check to the annihila-
ton of the birds in the county. AS
result of the enforcement of the
game law in the county, birds will be
more plentiful next season than in
many years. In past seasons, before
the game law was put on the statute
books of the state; there was gener-
ally wholesale slaughter of quail
throughout the state during the hunt
/ ing season, and the birds were becom-
ing less plentiful each succeeding
season. The game law has been
pretty well enforced not only in Glynn
county, but throughout the whole
state, and the game wardens in the
different counties of the state have
experienced but little difficulty in hav-
ing the game law respected by the
hunters and sportsmen in their re-
spective sections.
There will come up before the next
session of the state legislature the
matter of amending few features of
the game law, so that it may be more
easily understood by all classes of
citizens. A great many people are of
the opinion that the game law should
be SO amended as to permit of the
| shooting of robins.

. LITTLE BOYS
HEAD SEVERED
BY MOTOR CAR
JOHN MANNING, TEN YEARS OLD,
MET HORRIBLE DEATH
t.s.s
YESTERDAY.
While Playing on Southern. Track at
Everett Section Foreman's motor
Car Ran Over Him, Death Resulting
Instantly.

John, the little ten-year- old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Manning, who
reside at Everett City, met with a
most horrible accident yesterday
morning at Everett, when motor
car on the Southern railway ran over
him, almost completely severing his
head, crushing his leg and otherwise
mangling him.
The awful accident was witnessed
by Section Foreman Murphy, three
others who were on the motor car
with HIM, and one or two who were
standing nearby when the accident oc-
Cured.
1t seems that Section Foreman
Murphy with his crew was speeding
from Everett to Mt. Pleasant in order
TO do some work. The little Manning
boy was playing on the railroad track
and the car was upon him before
those in charge saw the youngster.
When the car was within ten or fif,
teen yards of the little boy, and it
was seen that it would be impossible
TO stop it before reaching him, the
section foreman yelled at the little
fellow to get off the track, which he
could have done at that time, but,
Docking up and seeing the car, ne was
so excited, realizing that great dan
ger he was in, that instead of jumping
across the track, the boy ran up the
track. EVERY effort was made to
bring the motor car to a stop, but it
was impossible, and the little fellow
was caught in the middle of the track
and knocked to one side, one of the
wheels passing over his head, almost
severing it from the body, while an
other wheel passed over his leg.
The car was stopped quickly as pos
sible and the little boy was picked
up, but the accident had proved fatal
and the little fellow lived for only a
short time.
The accident caused general sorrow
among the people around Everett,
where the little boy was we'll known.
He was an unusually bright youngster
and the parents have the sympathy OF
many friends in the sad accident. The
funeral occurred yesterday afternoon
at Mt. Pleasant.

KNOCK KNEED WOMEN
one says They Are All That Way. But
Are Not to Blame.

New York. Feb 24.-It seemed to be
enough of a knock when word was
telegraphed from the University of
Wisconsin that 81 per cent of the CO.
eds were knockkneed. But that was
nothing to what was said by Miss
Catherine s. Leverich. chairman of the
executive committee of the girls branch
of the public schools athletic league.
"All women are knockkneed," de-
clared Miss Leverich. ''Womans hips
being so large it is natural for her to
be knockkneed- It is not woman S
fault. 1t is the way nature made her.
Then Miss Leverich added another
crushing blow. THE ma jority of women
in New York are fatfooted." she said
I think it is due to walking so much
on the pavements.'
Lee Shu0ert, the theater manager,
took a slightly different view:
"Knockkneed girls are in the majority
among all classes said Mr. Shubert
with the exception of chorus girls.
Ninety-nine per cent of the chorus girls
are straight limbed
You will find that "a out of 25 society
girls are knockkneed and do not know
how to walk gracefully across a ball
room floor, whereas every chorus girl
knows how to walk and how to use her
feet.
1T is because of this so many of the
wealthy young men of this country and
titled chaps on the other side prefer to
marry actresses to women of their own
social sphere. These stage girls have
