pended from the ceiling, and the
nights were concealed by red paper
shades made to resemble carnations.
All of the girls wore crimson cos
tunes, and the men wore bouton-
nieres of carnations and maiden hair
fern. At midnight a buffet supper
was served, but the dancing kept on
apace until well into the wee small
hours. The invitations, inscribed
with red ink on white paper, and in
closed in scarlet envelopes. read thus:
"You are invited to a devils ball

WHITE MAN is BEING Held
THERE ON A MOST sgRI-
Gus CHARGE.
PEOPLE ARE INDIGNANT
Fact That His Guilt Has Not Been
Definitely Established Probably
Saved Him From Being Handled BY
the Infuriated Citizens,

There was serious talk of a lynch
ing at Jesup last night and many peo-
pie OF he city feared that such a
thing would occur, although every
possible effort was made to avoid it.
1t was stated that the guilt or inno-
ccnse of the white man who is charg-
cd with a serious offence has not
been established, and many believe
this is the only thing that really pre-
vented lynching.
john Arnold is being held in the
Wayne county jail, charged with
criminally assaulting .5-year-old
white girl. He has been around Jesup
for several days and is said to be an
it.nerant preacher going there from
Mount Pleasant with his wife and two
young children. He was staying at
a farm house about two miles from
Jesup.
Arnold has been very friendly with
the child during his stay at the farm
and yesterday morning II is alleged
that he enticed her to the barn. and,
after committing the crime, left in
the direction of the river swamp. The
child went back TO the tAlse, com
planning OF being hurt by the
preacher
A warrant was immedi tely sworn
out against Arnold and Sheriff Price
started on his trail with bloodhoundD.
Arnold was tracked to where he
crossed the river at Doctortown and
the news of the crime and description
of the man was wired to stations
ahead He was arrested at Ludowici
and brought back to Iesup yesterday
afternoon
The news OF the crime has been
kept quiet. but there have been some
threats of lynching When knowledge
of the crime spreads and il the peo
PIE should become convinced of Ar
nold's guilt, the situation may become
dangerous.
Arnold came to Jesup from Mount
Pleasant, but is native of Marion
county, S. c. He is As years old ant
has wife and two children with him

INTEREST IN NEW DISTRICT.
Efforts Being Made to Great Third
U. S. District.

Local people, especially the attor-
neys. are watching with more than
usual interest the efforts that are
being made to create a new district
of the United States court in Georgia.
This is something that has been
talked about in Georgia for some time
and it Is thought that something may
be accomplished in the near future.
The idea is to have what will be
known as the northern, Middle and
southern districts in Georgia instead
OF Just the north and south Georgia
districts. 1t is regarded as quite
probable that in the north Georgia
district will be Atlanta, Rome and
Gainesville; in the middle Georgia
district Macon. Columbus and Angus
ia: in the south Georgia district Sa-
vannah, Albany and Valdosta.
If the new district is created it will
cal9 for another judge and the selec-
4on CAthe new man will undoubtedly
Furnish one the most Interesting
Developments 81 &gia has known in
sppe time.

ATLANTA CONFIDENT OF
GETTING BIG CONVENTION

Atlanta, May 9.-''I have no doubt
about the Imprial Council accepting
the invitation of the Yaarab Temple
and citizens of Atlanta to meet here
in 1914" says Forrest Adair, poten-
tate of the local Shriners, in an inter
view given out on the eve OF the At
lanta Shriners' departure for the an
nual convention at Dallas. Texas.
The Atlanta party leaves tonight,
headed by Mr.. Adair, and including
in its ranks over 200 of Atlanta's
most prominent and best known clti-
zens. They confidently expect to
bring back with them the pledge of
the 1914 convention. Governor JOS
eth NJ Brown has added his formal
invitation to that of the many others,
and says, Il wish to extend to you
personally and officially a hearty in

greatly honored TO have your distin-
guished organization assemble here.

says Brunswick Man Thinks" They
Had the Largest Crowd.
Waycross has a new claim on the
attendance trophy. They have disre-
garded the actual number OF people
in the park on their opening day and
are now claiming the trophy merely
because Brunswick man was pres
ent at the game and stated that he
thought Waycross had a larger
crowd than Brunswick. Why. of
ccluse it is but natural for one to
think that The smaller the place
the larger the crowd looks, and il is
understood that the Waycross park
cannot possibly hold over $500 peo-
pie and then they would have TO be
Packed like sardiRes.
The Waycross people state that r.

thought Waycross had the largest

that Manager Kite ami his ticket-tak-

YESTERDAY.
BRUNSWICK SHOWS UP WELL
Not Known Which Cite Scored Larg-

Fave Been Filed and viii Have to
Be Decided Later. .

The annual meeting of the Elev-
enth District High School association
he'd in this city yesterday and last
night was one Of the most successful
ever held by the organization. In all
there We're about 80 contestants in
the various contests during the day
and keen interest was manifested in
the result of all of them.
The first meeting was held yester-
day morning at the opera house and
in the afternoon the entire assocla-
ton together with large number Of
visitors, went to ST. Simon, where the
athletic contests were held on the
beach.
Last night at the opera house the
final contests were held. An audi
ence which filed every available
place in the opera house was pres
ent and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed While the judges we're pre-
pairing their report. the various
schools enjoyed the intofmission by
giving their school yells, each trying
to drown the other Everything was
in an uproar when the judges step
ped on the stage to announce the
winners, and. as they we're announc-
ed one by one, the applause from the
various schools was deafening
Owing to the fact that there We're
several protests filed before the
events. ii was impossible for the
committee to make u decision as to
the final standing of the cities con
testing, and this will not be definitely
i settled until it is placed before the
| state organization. Ii seems that the
protests were entered on good grounds
and the action of the High School as
sociation will have to decide the
winner OF s2e largest number OF
points. The Ainners in the literary
events, howe sAr. were as follows:
Boys essay Max Rogers, Baxley,
first; i. Wider, Brunswick second.
