Shakespeare. The earl himself was a
man of high ability, and when he was
sober, which happened perhaps once In
four or five years, he was said to have
the most charming manners. But he
kept himself picked nearly all the
time, and his charming manners we're

wife that she applied to parliament
for relief, and parliament granted her
a separate maintenance, with the rev.

property.
William Johnson was his lordshlp's
steward, and because he had to pay
money from the estate to the lady, the
earl began to hate him bitterly. He
got the idea In his sodden mind that
there was too much johnson In the

Johnson's destruction. He prepared for

Larry was right. The girl he loved

FRENCH CLAIMINGA
SLIGHT SUCCESS IN
BATTLE AT VERDUN
EAST FOR WILSON
IS HIS OPINION
ALDERMAN M'KINNON SAYS PEO-
PIE TOO BUSY, HOWEVER, TO
TALK POLITICS

While l heard very little political
talk On my short trip to New York and
Boston," said Alderman NJ B. McKin-
non yesterday. who has just returned
from those cities what did hear
and see was all Tor Wilson, and the
general consensus of opinion is that
he will be reelected in November"
"The real truth of the matter is"
continued Mr.. McKinnon, the people
of the east are too busy just at pres
ent to talk politics. Everything is
humming up that way, big business
men, as well as laboring men and all
others are free to state that they are
enjoying better times than has been
the case in many years | was in
New York for only couple of days
and in Boston about the same time,
and while. Of course, there was some
political talk going on, the presiden-
tial election was not being generally
discussed
'The young men, that is the young
er set IN the business world, are, 1t
seems for Wilson, and most of them
are going to vote for him. While the
old-time republicans, who would vote
for republican candidate no ma ter
who he is, are going to vote for Mr..
Hughes still they realize that Wilson
has given them an excellent admins
tration"
Mr.. McKinnon was in New York
when Hughes delivered his Acceptance
speech last Monday, and he says it
did not seem to create much of an i'm
preston in political circles. New
York state, he thinks, is surely dem
ocratic, while even old rocked-ribbed
republican Massachusetts will give
him an unusually big vote.

WILL USE Local CATCH
j. B. Abrams Claims Local
Union Fl; hermen Viii! Not
Fish For His company-Must
Have Outside Help or the
Plant Must Be Closed.

In view Of the situation deyeloped
by the fishermen OF the port and be-
cause of the fight in the Legislatures
over bill pending in that body af-
fecting the shrimp industry in the city
the News yesteray sought of Presi-
dent }. b. Abrams, of the Glynn Can
nfng Co. statement on the subject.
The Abrams industry is the oldest in
the business in Brunswick and it's
plant is among the most complete in
the country. Only recently the com.
pany has spent vast sum OF money
making improvements and additions
and it is believed that the Glynn Can
ming people would be glad to cooper
ate in every possible way with the
fishermen.
When asked for a statement giving
the position Of his, company in the
shrimp matter, Mr.. Abrams said:
'"The local fishermen who own
boats will not fish for us, as they
claim it is inconvenient for them to
get to OR plant.
They can sell to the local fac
tories every shrimp. that they catch
as the demand far exceeds the sup
ply.
mo matter haw many boats are
fishing, one boat does not interfere
nor prevent any other boat from
catching as many shrimp as if an
other boat was not there. AS mat
ter of fact they are seldom in sight
of each other and very rarely in
speaking distance.
"The price is not affected in any
manner, shape or form by the out
side fishing boats fishing for me or
anyone else. AS matter of fact, we
paid out last year more than was paid
to the local fishermen by the other
factories, but they would not sell to
us.
"If we did not get outside help we
would have to go to Fernandina, az
we did before we built our boats TO
buy shrimp or close down our plant.
We have on our boat all the native
fishermen that we could get OF
eleven boats, 6 of these are manned
by crews secured in Georgia, Georgia
people AS stated before, we cannct
get the Union to fish for us. We have
one Union man fishing on one of our
boats, but we had to advance him
money enough to complete his boat
and equip it, in other words we had
to buy the boat to get him to do this
We have offered to take all shrimp
we could get from the local fishermen
if they want to fish for us, at the
market price"

POstOffiCe Department to Award
New Contract on
August 24th.
ONLY ONE TRIP PER DAY
William jackson, Awarded the
Contract Some Time Ago, De-
cides He Cannot Garry Cut
His Contract and Will Resign.

AS the result of a personal visit
to Brunswick by special representa-.
tive of the postoffice department, fol
lowing the action of VIM. Jackson
the negro who was a few weeks age
awarded the Brunswick-St. Simon
mail contract, that he had decided not
to carry out the contract, new bids
will be asked for the service by the
postoffice department
Postmaster Leavy yesteray received
from the department copies of the
bids, together with all information
desired by prospect re bidders, and to
morrow copies will be given to those
contract.
He"Aver as result of the report
submstted by the special representa-
tive, st. Simon will get only one mail
per day during the summer season
instead of two, as has been the case
in the past. In fact, the service dur
ing the summer and winter will be
the same.
Bids to be submitted to the depart
ment will be for almost four years,
from September l. 1916, to June 30,
1920. Tnc bids will be opened at the
office of the second assistant post
master general on August "a and must
be in his office by that date
The advertisement calls for the fol
lowing schedule: Six mails week
each way between Brunswick and ST.
Simon. leaving Brunswick after the
arrival of Southern train No. IA every
morning, but not later than $50 a.
M: leave st. Simon at Ais p. M,
arriving in Brunswick at 5:45 p. m.
VIM. Jackson who was awarded the
contract several weeks ago when the
bid of the st. Simon Transit company
was refused, has failed to perform the
service and has notified the depart
ment that he does not want the con-
tract. He has been carrying one
mail to and from the island for the
past few weeks, but no regular sche-
dule has been maintained. Yesterday
no mail at all was carried by him and
another big kick came from the peo-
pie on the island.
The fact that the department has
decided to maintain daily mail serv-
ice, instead of twice a day, and the
further fact that the time required 0
make the trip is an hour and half,
will probably cause a number Of mo
torboat owners to bid on the contract,
as they figure they can easily main
tain that scheule, while it is impos-
sib'e they say, to carry a dou-
BILE daily service.
Jackson will probably continue to
make one trip to and from the island
until the contract is finally awarded
on September l.

GOOD CATCH

A rattle snake six feet long was
killed Saturday morning by party
returning from a f.shing trip. The
monster snake was killed on the
water between the main land and
Seut Brunswick Island, as it reared
its head high into the air. The rat
tier was so large that the party said
it was mistaken for an alligator at
first.
A good catch was reported by the
party which went over to Half Moon
Bluff. Composing the fishing party
were DR.. Atkinson, Dunwoody Atkin-
son. j. L. Allen. Major Taylor, Mrs.
Taylor Clyde Taylor, Jr., and Miss

the killing of the rattler disproves the
statement that snakes do not inhabit

BANDITS GET S33, 600. 90
Whole Country Secured to
Locate Five Bandits Who
Held UP Auto Pay-car On
Streets of Detroit Before
Eyes of Many People.

DETROIT, Aug. Search was
being vigorously pushed today in
every county surrounding Detroit for
the five automobile bandits who,
armed with rifles and pistols yester-
day afternoon held up the motor pay
car of the Burroughs Adding Machine
Company and made off with between
$4,000 and $4,000 after shooting
and slightly wounding one man.
The robbery, which occurred with
in half block of the Burroughs
plant. is declared to have been the
most daring in the history of De
troit. 1t was accomplished so quick
ly that almost before any one but the
occupants Of the pay car number
OF guards in a car following and the
bancits themselves, realized what was
happening, the robbers had transfer
led five cash bags to their own ma
chine and were out of sight.
Hundreds of persons who saw the
hold up smiled in the belief that they
were witnessing the scenario of
Photograph play. Nine cars filled
with Detroit policemen and two load
ed with deputy sheriffs took up the
chase short time after the hold up.
Vague reports from several towns
and villages lying outside of Detroit
to the effect that the robbers were
believed to have been seen passing
through there were circulated, but
despite the fact that every clue was
promptly picked up and followed. the
robbers early today We're still at

PARIS Aug. 5.-The battle con-
tinues to rage north of Verdun with
something of the old fury and gen
orally to the advantage of the French.
The defenders. after beating off re-
peated counter attacks by the Ger
mans, again took the offensive and
once more recaptured the greater part
of the village of Fleury and the cele-
brated Thiaumont work.
The success at Thiaumont is looked
upon as more important as evidene
of the energy of the French inf-r-,v
than as military achievement. The
work is so swept by the artillery of
either side as to be of little use to
the possessors.
French officers point to the fact
that the efforts of the Germans are
now restricted to the Fleury-Thia-
mont section as an evidence of the
growing weakness of the invaders
forces in the Meuse region. The
French have succeeded in clearing the
approaches to the Souville and Tavan-
mes forts which at one time seemed
to be seriously threatened and are
back within mile of Fort Douamont.

All German attacks on the French
positions last night were repulsed

sued late yesterday afternoon, the
Ger9ians sustaining heavy losses.
n bombardment of the most violent
4aracter took place over the entire
sector of Thiaumont and Fluery. The
battle lasted from o'clock last night
until this morning, the Germans max
ing unsuccessful efforts. the state
ment adds, to drice the French fror
Thiaumont works. After a spiritec :sl-
gagement in the village of Fluery, the
situation is without appreciable
change.
The situation in the region Of the
Somme is quiet.
Four German aeroplanes were
brought down by the French on Fri
ay.
