Campaign for
Sale of Stamps
LOCAL COMMITTEE ORGANIZING
FOR THE 1918 RED CROSS
STAMP SALE.

The local committee organized to
handle the campaign for the sale OF
Red Cross stamps for 1913 is conf
dent that Brunswick will excel her
record last year when the per CAPT
ia sale exceeded both Macon and Au-
gusta.
Ihe Red Cross is doing a great work
in Georgia in the fight against tuber-
culcsis, mcst of the funds used being
raised from the sale Of stamps, and
that the local public will support the
movement generously goes without
saying.
The state committee has set the
Georgia mark at 100000, of which
number 10000 is assigned Brunswick
and the local committee believes that
with an early and well organized
campaign that number can be sold .
Following this notice number of
interesting facts will be told of the
fine work which has been done by the
Red Cross society in aiding those suf-
fcring from tuberculosis. M
The local committee includes "

the request of the commissioners for
an expert would bring results from
the agricultural department.
At the same time the commissioners
will be requested to appropriate s400
toward the expense Of securing an ag-
ricultural expert to teach both the old
and new farmers of Glynn county the
value of scientific farming.
The plan already outlined is for
Glynn and Wayne counties each to ap-
propriate $400 toward the sleccssary
expense of expert to cover both coun-
ties in which event tlEe state will ap-
propriate the additional $500 needed.
There is no question as to the value

ney Arthur Swank leading for the
state, in an able review Of all the
testimony as it had been deyeloped by

Moruer in a strong plea along the
line Of the contention Of the defense
that the Crescent incident was sim
Ny the result Of local conditions.
and that the increase Of the ginning
charged on that one day October >.
1909, was the result Of a fight the
local merchants had made on the cot
ton buyers, whom they charged with
manipulating the price Of cotton, and
that the incident had no relation 10

and also analyzed the ginning prices
at the gins all over the state ami
with view Of showing that the high
rate at Crescent on the above date
was not only a reasonable price. bu.
that it was actually below the real
cost Of ginning a bale Of cotton.

time 10 presentation of the docl-

Peculiar Natural Fact

One OF the puzzles Of nature Is the
fact that many springs show an in.
creased flow OF water several hours
before a coming rain begins to fall.
Various explanations have been at.
tempted. the most plausible being
that the weather before a storm is
often OF the kind which checks loss
OF moisture from the ground by
evaporation and hence leaves more
to feed the springs.
