Run Away With That Attendance

Yesterdays Attendance.

Well, we guess that attendance tro-
ply of the Georgia State League is
coming to Brunswick this season.
There are but two things that can
prevent it, Valdosta, who has not yet
opened, will have to turn out upwards
of 2,112 people or old j. Pluvious will
interfere. That's all there is to it,
Waycross fell down yesterday so
much so that the figures were not
even announced last night. The News
made every effort to get the official
figures from that c;ty. We don't
know yet was all that could be learn
ed. However after half dozen talks

various people in that city, including
Manager Reagan, of the Cordele club,
it is estimated that slightly over 1000
people were present. But, you know
Waycross turned little trick in that
attendance trophy race last year
About 800 people were in the park
and the official attendance showed up
something over $500, so it may be
that the announcement will be made
from there later that 10000 were pres
ent.

more than 1900 people in the park,
although the association gave free

Two or three people in Waycross
who were asked by The News last
night for the ofilcia figures stated
that they did not know, but admitted
that the crowd was not as large as
It was asst season
Americas came in early with a re-
port OF Zip, an increase of exactly

Valdosta and Cordele will have their
openings next Monday, while Bruins

But, as stated, unless one or two
things occur, this city is going to land
the attendance trophy.

WAS SERVING LIFE
TERM FOR MURDER
nMALONE" IDENTIFIED YESTER-
DAY AS JACK WHITE, AN
ESCAPED PRISONER.

The negro Will Malone, alias James
Jenkins, arrested some two weeks
weeks ago by Constable "MitchF
Brown, at which time his home near
Buffalo swamp was found to be wired
with a system of alarm bells, and
with a rifle or shot gun in every
room, was yesterday identified by
Capt E. w. Sands, Of Sylvester,
Worth county, as Jack White, an es-
capped prisoner serving a life sentence
for murder
White, alias Malone, alias Jenkins,
was sent up from Dougherty county
in 1882 and escaped once before,
when he was caught at Darien, at
which time it cost the state over ST.
900 to return him to the pen, White
fighting his return by every process
known under the law
Capt Sands Immediately picked out
White when every negro prisoner in
the county Jail was lined up before
him yesterday morning, and will re-
turn with him to Doughrty county as
soon as the necessary formalities can
be arranged, and it is probable that
extra precautions will be taken to see
that White does not escape again,
as the first time 1t cost 81 900 to get
him and this time some five years tc
find him.

MENTS ON DISPATCH OF
ATLANTIC FLEET.

London, April 16.-The Manchester
Guardian, one of the leading Liberal
newspapers, today contrasts the ac-
tion of President Wilson in connec-
tiCn with the arrest of the bluejack-
cts at Tampico, and in connection
with the killing of the Englishman,
William S. Benton.
Why should Villa murder with I'M
punity?" asks the paper, and "Huerta
be chastised with the whole strength
of the right arm of the United States
for mere breach of international po-
likeness?
IF tht United State is anxious for
an excuse for Intervention, the insult
to the flag will serve very well, but
President Wilson knows that armed
intervention begun cannot easily be
confined to the limits set for it at
the beginning"

shapes all of the work of the house.
He is also a member OF the state
road committee, as well as many 9th
ers. Mr.. Akin is pre-eminently quail
flied in every way for the position
he seeks. He Is one Of the best known
and most successful business men In
south Georgia, ranked among the lead
ers Of the Georgia legislators, had led
the great drainage fight, and render
ed valuable assistance in all other
important legislation
Mr. Akin, OF course, will not have
any opposition FOR the position, or
rather none has even been mentioned
or suggested.
