SMALL PREDICTS
j. s. DRY IN 1920
LECTURED TO AN ENTHUSIASTIC
AUDiENECE IN FIRST METH
oDIST CHURCH.

The prediction that the United
States would have national prohibi-
tion in 1920 was the leading theme of
the lecture last night at the First
Methodist church by DR.. Sam Small
who entertained a large and enhtusi-
astic audience with his Cavalry
charge" or lecture on the llquor traf-
fic
DR.. Small's lecture was filled with
humor and delivered in a taking man
ner that pleased the audience He is
a splendid orator and his lecture is
studded with intensely interesting in
formation on the subject of prohibi-
ton and the fight that is on against
liquor traffic in the United States
He says the majority in the house
is already in favor of nationwide pro
hibition, in spite of the arguments
that go the rounds about states
rights He predicts that by the time
the next president is inaugurated, the
senate will have majority in favor
OF national law in the matter and
that 1920 will see the law in actual
operation, or at least on. the statutes
subject to soon becoming operative.
DR.. Small was formerly a resident
of this city and has many personal
friends here who were delighted to
shake hands with him and talk old
times.

CALLED MEETING
Of THE MERCHANTS
WILL DISCUSS THE MATTER OF
SENDING GOODS OUT ON
APPROVAL.

The Brunswick Retail Merchants
and Business Mems association will
hold called meeting this morning at
10 O'Clock at their rooms over Branch's S
pharmacy for the purpose of discuss
ing and forming plans for the cur
tailment of sending our goods on ap-
prevail
1t is stated that one of the most Sc
rious problems facing Brunswick mer-
chants is that Of sending goods out on
approval, which, on account of care
less handling, causes the dealer more
or less loss beside the fact that such
procedure is often attended with in
sanitary handling
A circular letter was recently sent
put by Secretary Richard in which he
discussed the matter at length with
view to educating the public to the
danger and loss Of this manner of do
ing business.
No matter how carefully one may
Landle white goods" the letter stated
there is bound to be parts soiled
O1her members of the family besides
the possible purchaser will feel in
clined to feel it and every little
feeling le,yes a soiled place all it's
own.
Some people take curtains on ap-
proval and use them in decorating
for an entertainment, after which they
find that something will suit better
and the good-natured merchant is ex-
pected to make the change without
word of complaint.
In Georgia city some time ago
during a horse show. prominent mer-
chant of that city says that 25 per
cent of the ladies purchasing dresses
for the occasion, wore them and then
returned the goods because there was
some small point of dissatisfaction
Such action is likely at any time to
cause spread Of disease, for one never
can know in dealing with merchants
who send out on approval, who last
wore the garment he offers for sale"

MEXICO CITY
DON'T KNOW Of
OUR PURSUIT
NEWSPAPERS I'M MEXICAN
CAPITAL SEEM IGNORANT
OF PUNITIVE EXPEDITION
AT VILLA.

Ell PASO, Texas, April 13.-The
great majority of MeXicans do not vet
know that American soldiers have
crossed the international line, accord
ing to an American who arrived here
today from Mexico City. This man
said that in the capital there was the
most profound ignorance in regard to
the situation in Chihuahua and that
even among the educated classes the
most contradictory reports are preva-
lent.
AS an indication he exhibited
copy of a Mexico City newspaper.
which carried all it's news of the pur-
suit of Villa in a couple of hundred
words under an Eel Paso date line
This account, dated a week back,
made no mention of the American
troops, but said that the constitutions
alist forces had Villa surrounded and
that his capture was merely a uues-
tion of hours. 1t also informed the
public that Cen Pershing had been
made commander of the columbus
zone in the state of New Mexico"
The people of the southern states
of Mexico" said the man, "who con
stitute about four-fifths of the popula-
tion of the country, know practically
nothing about the pursuit of villa,
2nd | think, care less, Stories have
reached some of them about Ameri-
can troops being in Mexico, but they
simply regard them as 'gringo lies.
The masses Of the MeXicans have been
living in such a state of hystera and
confusion for the last five years that
they believe nothing any more but
only live in the hope that some mys-
terious providence will give them
peace and security again.

past two days in Atlanta comforting
with Governor Harris in the matter
end laying the case before the Geor-
gia chief executive, in whose power
alone now rests the life of the Bruins
wick negro.
Governor Harris took the matter un-
der consideration Wednesday morning
at 10 O'Clock, at which time Attorney
Powell appeared before him to present
the case and to appeal for executive
clemency. 1t was not until yesterday
afternoon when the governor found
himself in position to definitely settle
the matter before time for the hang
ing to take place, so he granted two
weeks respite and Pollard can now
live until the 2Sth of this month
whether he receives executive clemen-
cy or not.
Sheriff Berrie yesterday inspected
the gallows and stretched the ropes
to have everything in readiness this
morning for the solemn execution of
the law, in case there was no respite
granted
It was unofficially stated here yes

til he can hear from two other parties
who he thinks high throw new light on
case and possibly render it advis-
able that the Brunswick negro be
granted executive clemency
Pollard was perfectly calm yester-
day, although he did not know but this
morning would be his last He seems
to take life as it is handed him and
not grumble for different conditions
and is Indifferent toward the success
OF his attorney in Atlanta appealing
to the only power that can now save
him from breathing his last at the
end of the hangman's rope.

He asserted that although during
the past fifteen years congress has
appropriated more than a billion and
a half dollars for the navy. sum
greatly IN excess of that by any other
power except Great Britain, yet at
the present time our navy is rated
as fourth-class power.
Why Is 1t that within equal ap-

TO SAVE BIRD SANCTUARY
Audubon Societies Working to Pre-.
vent Threatened Destruction Of
Reservation in Oregon.

The destruction of one of the larg-
est, if not the largest, federal bird
reservation in the United States is
threatened, according to an announce
ment made by T. Gilbert Pearson Of
New York city, secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Audubon Socie-
ties. The reservation threatened is at
Lake Malheur, in southeastern Oregon,
and is a breeding place for hundreds
Of thousands of Wild ducks, wild geese
and other water fowl.
Application has been made to the
federal authorities for permission to
drain the lake in order to secure the
land it covers. The lake is six miles
wide by u miles long, and is about
six feet deep. 1t supplies an ideal
breeding place for wild water fowl,
Mr.. Pearson says, and. therefore, 1T
attracts wild geese and ducks from
Canada in large numbers. It's de-
struction, he declares, will leave thou
sands Of young water fowl without a
home.
Secretary Pearson has taken the
matter up with the officials OF the
general land office, who have prom
ised to investigate. 1t is understood
that those who plan the destruction
Of the bird reservation have already
secured the cooperation of the state
land board of Oregon. For that rea-
| son, Mr.. Pearson regards the situation
IS imminent and believes it will re-
quire quick and earnest appeals to the
secretary of the interior from those
who believe in tie protection of wild
birds, to prevent the destruction of the
colony.
There are about five million guns
in the United States" said Mr.. Pear
son, and the only way to preserve
our migratory game birds is to have

they can never be killed, under any
