SEARCHING FOR MISSING MAN
w. p. Martin, Former Terrell COun-
tan, Disappears, and Lee County
Relatives Look for Him.

A Leesburg dispatch says relatives
of w. P. Martin, better known as
''Pitt' Martin, and a former citizen
of Terrell but who has been living
in Lee county with his father-in-law,
H. A. Harris, are anxious to know
where he is. He disappeared sud
denly and mysteriously from home
last Tuesday, since which time no
news has been received of his where
abouts.
Mr. Martin was last seen in AL
bany, but if he is still there no one
is able to tell where he is staying.
Inquiries and a search conducted by
his relatives have proved of no use
in clearing the mystery. His rela-
tives have not given up hope of find
ing him, and diligent search is be-
ing made.
A strange feature of the mysteri-
Gus disappearance is that no motive
can be assigned for it. 1t is learned
that Mr.. Martin is happily married
and that no matrimonial unpleasant
ness has been known in. his family.
He has a wife and several children,
who are eager to know why he left
them. The possible solution has
been ascribed to temporary mental
alteration, though no one seems able
to assign a good reason.

dissemination of disease. By enforc-
foc law to entomb carcasses all
-ronbIa will be obviated along this
line.

AT a banquet to be rendered him
Saturday night by citizens and ad-
mirers who reside in Brunswick and
Glynn County. former Congressman
William @. Brantley will be presented
with a handsome silver service.
The fund with which the service
was purchased was made up entirely
within the county OF Glynn. and the
service is very handsome, notwith-
standing the fact that the subscrip-
tions were rigidly limited to 81 each.
Practically every business man in
Brunswick contributed, and the farm
ers Whereabouts. with whom Mr..
Brantley always has been very popu-
lar. also responded Immediately and
generously.
Mr.. Brantiey has decided to make
Brunswick his headquarters, although
his new legal duties will carry him
all over the South, and IL may be that
he will find Il impossible to remain
In that city q great deal OF his time.
HIS new duties concern every rail-
road OF importance in the South.
and his work will touch every system
penetrating Dixie.
II generally is agreed that MT
Brantley's retirement from Congress
left vacancy in the Georgia delega =
ton hard to f1ll He was By many
considered the strongest man in Con-
gress, and certainly there has not
been a time within the last ten years
when he was not looked upon, by
those associated with him most in
timately at least, as one OF the real
constructive leaders.
Mr.. Brantley followed one OF the
greatest Congressman Georgia ever
sent to Henry G. Turner
but he filed the former Congress
mans place eventually to the satis-
faction Of that great mans constitu-
ents. And when Brantley retired
from Washington he went out with
little. If any, less prestige than Mr..
Turner.
Brantley Is out OF politics forever
now, however, and expects to devote
the remainder Of his active life to
the practice Of law. II always was a
great financial sacrifice to him TO re-
main In Congress. anyway.
