LOGS ARRIVE At
CYPRESS MILLS
BIG PLANT, WHICH HAS BEEN
CLOSED DOWN, WILL RE-
SUME NEXT WEEK.

The first shipment of logs for the
mills of the Hilton-Dodge Lumber
company, which have been clsed for
several months, arrived at the mill
yesterday morning. They were float
ed down from up the Altamaha river.
This large mill will resume opera
ton the latter part of next week, and
a large number of people have arrived
in the city the past few days, many
of whom were employed at the plant
when it was closed down.
1t is understood that the company
has recently received two or three
mammoth orders for lumber, and de.
spite the fact that there are many
thousands of feet now in the yards,
il will be necessary to operate the mill
to supply the orders. A number of
workmen have been engaged for the
past several days getting everything
into readiness to resume operation,

COLD WEATHER BROKEN;
BETTER TIMES AHEAD
Generally Predicted That There viii
Not Be Any More Cold
This Winter.

The cold weather which has pre-
vailed in this section for the past few
days appears to have been broken,
and there is every indication Of
warmer. and more pleasant weather
being the order of the day from now
on. The thermometer last night went
down to 40 which is several degrees
warmer than it has been for several
nights, and the indications are that
there will be no such low mark es-
tablished again this season.
Predictions are being freely made,
and they are apparently well grounded,
that the cold snay is over and that
there will be some seasonable wealth
er from this time on. The weather
of the past few days has been very
hurtful to practically all of the crops
in this section, and it will take con-
siderable amount of replanting and
further preparation to get matters in
proper shape again With a contin-
uance of warmer weather for several
days there should be no trouble in get
ting more seed planted and good
stand G -}v all crops is expected
by farmers or this section.

HUNDRED BOATS
NOW ENGAGED IN
PRAWN FISHING
APPROXIMATELY 10000 POUNDS
WE'RE BROUGHT TO THE CITY
YESTERDAY-ONE FACTORY GOT
THIRTY THOUSAND.

approximately 100 boats are at pres
ent engaged in shrimping around
Brunswick and new ones are being
equipped for the business every day,
The runs of shrimp recently has been
the largest since the opening of the
local factories, and yesterday and
Thursday some enormous hauls were
made
1t is 5estinl nlated that at least 10000
pounds of shrimp were brought to the
city yesterday and distributed among
the local factories@ One factory alone,
it, was stated, received total of 30
600 bushels.
Ut can now be realized more forcibly
than ever just what these shrimp fac.
tories mean to Brunswick With 100
boats at work there is at least an av-
erage of three or four men to a boat,
therefore between three and four. hun-
dred men are now making good divi-
dends out of catching shrimp, alone,
while large number of hands are
employed at, each of the factories.
All three of the plants are running
on full time. The Sea Eood company,
which was closed, temporarily, started
up again the first of the present
week

SUBMARINE TRAPPED:
! FULL CREW ON BOARD
E. SMITH, ORDINARY
DOUGHERTY COUNTY, SUICIDED

ALBANY, March 26.-By placing a
double-barrel shotgun against his
chest, over the lower portion of his
heart, and by throwing the trigger of
the right-hand barrel evidently with a
small hickory stick, Judge Samuel w.
Smith, ordinary of Dougnerty county
for nearly "a years, ended his life this
morning by sending the load into his
heart
The tragic suicide occurred in the
vault of the ordinary's office at the
courthouse. There were no eyewit-
nesses. Though there were a number
of men in the clerks office across the
hall and in other departments of the
courthouse at the time, the report of
the gun was not heard by anyone in
the building, due to the thick walls of
the vault and the fact that a white
powder shell was used.
Judge Smith had just come down
to the office, and about two minutes
before his lifeless body was discov-
cred in the vault he had been in the
clerks office talking with Clerk r. =.
Hall Harry Miller and others appar-
emily in as cheerful spirits as usual.
The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1915-03-27

The body was discovered by Harry
Miller who walked into the ordinarys
office about two minutes after Judge
Smith had left the clerks office He
was Mortified upon bebolding the
CHASTITY scene, and rushing back to
the clerks office reported the death
of his intimate friend and former EN-.
plOyer.
While he had seemed in good spir-
its this morning a few minutes be-
fore the fatel shot was fired, and
while there had been no warning or
intimation of an intention on his
part to take his own life, it is known
that Judge Smith was a constant suf-
ferer for the past two years from
Bright's disease, and that at times he
had ben more or less respondent on
this account.
A note found on his desk, that had
apparently just been opened, was from
a physician and its contents were to
the effect that owing to Judge Smiths
physical condition, he was not able to
at, nd to the regular Guties of the of
flee, and that he should not undertake
such duties, at least for term of
days.

KICK BY OAR|EN
CAUSED CHANGE
STATIONS NAME
DARIEN JUNCTION, AFTER FIRST
OF COMING MONTH, 1T is AN
NOUNCED, WILL BE KNOWN
AS "WARSAW."

A kick by the newly-organized Da-
rien Board of Trade has resulted in
what Darien considers one great ben
eft already Darien Junction, where
the G. c. & p. and the Seaboard cross,
will, after the first of next month,
be known as Warsaw
In explanation of this action on the
part of the railroads, Vice President
Mendes of the G. G.. Il p, states that
he has many times been on the trains
passing Darien Junction, and heard
tourists point out TO the flat woods
all that was left of the one-time inn
portant city of Darien, and tack on to
these desolate surroundings some of
the interesting historical events which
should properly be associated with Da-
rien. When the G. G.. Il p, with the
opening Of its Brunswick extension
Started to operate more trains than
Formerly, it became desirable not 10
have two stations with nearly the
same name to avoid the possibility
of mistakes in train orders. This con-
dition, with the sentimental regard
for Darieng and the desire to prevent
its being mistaken by strangers for
its unimposing namesake, induced Mr..
Mendes to confer with the Seaboard as
to change in name. Many names were
and abandoned, On account
of similarity to other names on the
70 u 4 "A o. zli.
stations in Georgia, which would pos.
sibIy result in goods being sent to the
wrong station.

Grave Alarm.

l." Commander Smiths mention of the
entrance of the harbor being covered
with oil created grave alarm at the
navy department 1t was feared the
F-4 had struck rock although it was
pointed out that Lieutenant EIDE might
have blown out the vessels oil to
tighten her burden.
The alarm of officials was still fur
ther increased by the omission in
Commander Smiths report of any ref
erence to a signal from the sub
merged craft. She was equipped with
a marker buoy attached to the out
side of the submarine and capable of
being released from within. AS no
mention was made of the appearance
of the marker buoy officials concIud-
ed it has not come to the surface
The usual diving radius of sub
marine is between $50 and 200 feet.
The worlds record for diving, made
by the FL, sister ship of the F-4,
in San Francisco bay two years ago,
is 283 feet, but size remained there
only ten minutes and cruised at a
speed of six knots. At that depth the
hull creaked and groaned under the
tremendous pressure and water seep-
ed through the, seams.
Commander Smiths dispatch men
tioning a thirty fathom depth gave
! some hope that the F-4 might not be
/ more than 180 feet down, in which
case ther must be chance for the
rescue of her crew, if the work were
done promptly.

All Attempts to Keep Italy and
Austria From Fight Have
Now Failed.
ANOTHER RUSSIAN VICTORY
Cars Men Reported to Have
Won in Big Fight at Uzsok.
Also Occupy Positions Near
Lupkow Pass.

LONDON, March 26.--Attempts to
arrange settlement of the differ
ences between Italy and Austria ap-
parently have failed. A Rome news
paper says Prince Won Buelow, Ger
man ambassador at Rome has aban-
doned his efforts for an agreement.
Austria's final offer of territorial con
cessions is said to have been so far
from meeting Italy's demands that
the German ambassador did not sub
nit it to the Italian government. In
the Balkans there are increasing
signs of unrest
A Bucharest dispatch says the fall
of Przemysl has increased the popu-
lar demand in Roumania for inter
Vention on the side of the allies. The
relations between Turkey and Bull
garia also have become uncertain
Field Marshal Won der GOltz has left
Constantinople for Sofia and General
Won Sanders has gone to Adrianople,
near which defenses arc being erected
to guard against possible attack by
Bulgaria.
Although severe weather continues
at the Dardanelles efforts to clear the
straits of mines continue. Turkish
forts fired on mine sweepers Wednes-
day, but ceased the attack after two
British. battleships opened on them.
AS predicted by military observers
since the fall of PrzemysL, Russia is
the Austrian front on the Carpathians
In the north, between the Niemen and
the Vistula, Russian forces are mak-
ing little effort to advance, evidently
being content to hold Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg in cnecK. Desperate
fighting is taking place in the Carpa-
thians, where the Russians are thrust
ing back the Austrians along the
Dukla and UZsok line.
Unofficial reports via Bucharest
credit Russia with great victory at
Uzsok, while Petrograd officially
claims an important success in the
capture of fortified positions near the
LupkoW Pass. These formidable po-
sitions were taken by storm, the Aus
trians losing machine guns and more
than 5000 prisoners. Unofficial re-
ports also credit the Russian army
with further successes in Bukowina
Vienna admits the Importance of the
Russian offensive in the mountain
passes, but declares the fierce attacks
on these positions have been repulsed
Politically, no decisive move has
been made to increase, the. number Of
the combatants, but it Is freely rlt-
mored that the mission at Rome of
Prince Won Buelow, the German am
has failed completely and
all negotiations between Austria and
Italy have been suspended. Rouman-
ia, impressed by the fall of Prem
ysl, is said to be contemplating i'm
action on the side of the
allies.
The sinking of the Dutch steamer
Medea by German submarine has
caused much uneasiness in Holland,
where the people already are irritated
by the recent capture by Germany of
two Dutch merchantmen.

"BETTERING THINGS"

Commenting on recent editorial
of The Herald, the Chattanooga
Times makes the following observa-
tions:
when we come to think 1t all over
and investigate, we find that most of
the men who figured on better
things when they started in to dis
rupt the democratic party and to that
end joined with republicans, have
strongly succeeded in lettering their
own fortunes, whatever may be said
of the state and the people-not to
speak of the democratic party. That
method of lettering things has q
wonderful incentive to politicians"
The Times is a violent partisan OF
the things that have been in this
state 1t has, like the Bourbons, for
gotten nothing and forgiven nothing.
1t is the most violent reactionary in
the politics of the state. 1t hates pro
hibition with all the intensity Of its
being. Nevertheless the Times has
spoken very correctly regarding the
underlying motive of great number
of the "reformers." We have found
that the violently unselfish patriot
and reformer before the election is
just as apt to be the self-seeking and
selfish politician after the election as
the most rantakerous reactionary in
all the land.
So far as our observation goes, and
we have been in the thickest of this
fight in Tennessee ever since it com.
menced, the appetite of the reform
er" for public pie is just as keen as
that of the stand patter. On the
question of thirst for the loaves and
fishes they are of whatness. The
real, unselfish patriot, whose activi-
ty in politics is due solely to desire
to advance the best interests of the
state and country, is scarce, almost
as scarce as the proverbial hens
teeth. In our youth we thought other.
wise, but there has been a rude
awakening. We can lament all we
please the Bryan idea of rewarding
deserving democrats" but after all
the Bryan theory is the popular one
in this country. If the party is MOI
going to furnish good jobs for the
boys of what advantage is a party
victory anyway?
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1915-02-19
TAXING PROBLEMS.

Unquestionably the most important
task confronting the legislators OF
Tennessee is that of tax reform.
There must be an increase in the rev.
enues of the state, or a radical reduc.
ton in the expenses Of government.
1t is almost useless to hope for the
latter. Before elections we usually
hear a good deal about economy, but
after the patriots read their titles
clear they are more concerned about
providing places for their political
friends than they are about saving
the money of the tax payers. Both
political parties, in fact all political
parties, are given to extravaganza.
1t is a foregone conclusion that the
legislature will net increase the tax
rate. Nothing is more unpopular
than a raise, direct and tangible
raise in ones taxes. What the legis-
lature will not do directly it will
probably attempt to do by Induction.
There may be an increase in privilege
taxes, although the merchants of the
state already pay heavier share of
the taxes than any other class of cit
liens. Under the law they must pay
upon their stocks at the same rate
that property owner must pay upon
his lands and personally. In addition
they are taxed state and county priv
ilege licenses. Any further increase
of their privilege taxes would be bur-
densome and unjust.
Some subjects for taxation, that
have heretofore escaped may be dis
covered, but no very considerable
revenue would be expected from this
source. 1t is altogether probable
therefore that in the end the legis-
lature will adopt the most feasible
plan and will provide a method for
increasing the assessable value Of
the property Of Tennessee. This
will mean an increase of tax bur
dens, but the additional contribution
will be better disguised than if
made by an increased rate. A wise
statesman has truly said that il the
hand of the tax gatherer were only
concealed property owners could be
taxed almost out of existence before
protest was raised.
This statement is forcibly illus
trated by comparing our federal and
state systems. While it costs the
