Mexico has been catching It
a little lately because of the bad
condition of the roads leading in
TO the city from the east and west
over the North State Highway
route. Never mind. Give the 8

that chance yet. As soon as the

ESCAPED CONVICT AFTER
JUDGE 7. A. PARKER;
THREATENS HIS LIFE
JIM HENDRY THREATENED TO
HoRSEWHIP THE JUDGE AND
THEN KILL OTHERS.

Baxley, Ca, Sept 1S.-Jim Hendry,
young white man, who sormerly
lived in Appling county, escaped from
the county chaingang in Emanuel
county one day last week and is said
to be hiding in the back side or Ap-
ping county at this time. He was
under sentence for severely cutting
his mother-in-law and other members
of his family in Pierce county about
three years ago.
The county warden, accompanied by
Sheriff Overstreet and Deputy Gle
land, left Tuesday afternoon in
search of Hendry, and although they
found where he had been and learned
where he was going, they had not
overtaken him up to a late hour yes
terday. 1t is feared that bloodshed
may result when the officers find
him, as he is considered a dangerous
character. This is the second es-
cape of Hendry since he has been
in confinement.
1t is said that he has stated since
he has been in Appling county, he
proposes to go to Waycross aud hold
up Judge Parker at the point of a
"44' and severely horsewhip him for
sentencing him in Pierce county three
years ago, and that ne. wants t6 kill
two or three others and then he is
ready to die.
Hendry is connected with s)me OF
the best families in Appling county.
The community is waiting with much
anxiety the result of the efforts o.
Sheriff Overstreet and those helping
him in their search for the oscar

AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION
MADE BY BOARD or TRADE
TO SECURE ACCURATE RECORD
OF ALL TONNAGE PASSING
THROUGH THIS PORT.

A resolution recently passed by the
board of trade which was given no
prominence at the time and the i'm
portance of which would not be real
ized by most citizens, was to provide
or devise some method that would
secure an accurate and complete ac-
count of all tonnage or business pass
Ing through this port by rail, ocean
or river steamer, tug or lighter; in
fact all manner of transportation.
The Importance Of this lies in the
fact that the government before max
ing an appropriation for river or >har-
Dor improvements secures a report
from local government officials as to
the value Of the project. Had com
plete data been kept, available for
relort, this port would have secured
better appropriations than 1t has in
the past, as the News fully believes
that this port is doing and has done
25 10 81 per cent more business than
il is given credit for.
This is not only true Of the port,
but tho rivers as wellyDand the Alta
nah. river project would have se-
cured more consideration from con-
gress had full and complete data, as
to rive. business, been kept.
TAcse things are mere matters of
detail, hut invaluable to the future
growth and prosperity OF the ci.y and
are mentioned to show how tho. o.ough-
ly the Ho..rd Of trade Is entering into
the business of making Brunswick not
only great port, but trade center
as well.

endeavoring to have Colonel Roose-

Colonel Roosevelt has agreed to
make such stops as possible, but his
itinerary is well filled with speaking
dates now, and he may be unable to
come here. Colonel Anderson is now
keeping the wires and mails busy and
hopes to be successful. If Colonel
Roosevelt speaks here it will be ar
ranged for his address to be the first
in Jacksonville in the interest of the
progressive party.

fined to the democrats of Florida
alone during the next month, accord
ing to Colonel Anderson, who is the
recognized leader of the progressive

Colonel Anderson said this morning
that preparations were being made to
open the speaking tour of Florida at
an early date, and from the start
there will be no let up in the work,
which, it is hoped, will land Theodore
Roosevelt in the presidential chair.
On the 1st of October, w. c. Hod-
ges of Tallahassee, will begin his
speaking tour in that city, and there
after will enjoy a wide liberty in
canvassing the state. He will travel
from point to point, as suits his con-
venience. guarding against conflict
with other speakers. Mr.. Hodges will
work zealously, but independently of
the outlined program as made up by
the state campaign committee.
