case, no expression was made by the
inspecting officers, it is known that
the the showing of the Rflemen was
well up to the standard, and the re-
port of the company to be made later
is expected to be a very good one
The officers, however, did take oc-
casion to compliment Leader Baum

ton made. Eighteen members of the
band were present for the inspection;
their instruments were in tip-top con

DECIDED CHANGE
IN THE WEATHER
MERCURY STARTED DOWNWARD
AT A RAPID CLIP LAST NIGHT
AND KEPT 1T UP.

A little belated, the predicted cold
wave arrived in Brunswick last night,
and those who retired early in the
evening with light covering were no
doubt up before midnight searching
over the room for blankets, quilts,
comforts, overcOats and covering of
every other kind. The change was
rapid, the mercury dropping over 30
points in less than three hours.
The cold wave was preceded by
rain which arrived yesterday shortly
after noon Showers continued during
the afternoon, and shortly after a
O'Clock the mercury started on the
downward shoot, keeping it up
throughout the night. At an early
hour this morning II was rapidly ap-
preaching the freezing point, with the
indications that it would go still lower
during the day.
The following weather observations
were issued by the forecasterd in Sa-
vannah yesterday:
"The retention Of the light storm
disturbance over southwestern Geor-
gia during the last "a hours Is caus-
ing continued precipitation from the
Central Gulf northeastward to New
England. Excessive precipitation is
reported from Montgomery, Macon,
Augusta, Mobile, New Orleans, Char
lotte, Asheville, Knoxville and Rich
mond The cold wave has caused
decidedly colder weather over West
ern Georgia, Alabama and the Caro-
linas, temperatures being near the
freezing point Fair, continued cold
weather prevails over the greater Dor-
ton Of the interior of the country.
Another disturbance and rain area is
reported from the far northwest.
Conditions indicate rain and much
colder tonight and cloudy, colder
Thursday for this locality"

ZEPPELIN RAIDS
ARE EXPLAINED
EFFORT WAS MADE TO STRIKE
ENGLAND'S MUNiTION
INDUSTRY.

BERLIN (via London), Feb. g.
RumOrs have circulated mere that the
Zeppelin raid on England on Monday
night was a reprisal for the Baralong
-;rf7rfr- but assurances e. i1er11 given
from authoritative quarters that the
attack did not come under that head.
1t is stated that the mainland sec
ton OF England was selected for the
raid because it is the center of muni-
tions industry and becuse Liverpool
is the center of England's commerce
and that there was a purpose to bring
home to the people of Great Britain
the fact that the boasted defenses of
London do not avail against Ger
many's aircraft and it was intended
also to interfere with the prepara-
tions being made in England for the
carrying on of the British operations
in France and Flanders.
The admiralty reiterates the state
ment that not single one of the
raiding Zeppelins was injured.

SCHEME FAILED
TO WORK IN CITY
"CASH MY CHECK AND GIVE ME
DIFFERENCE" PLAN WAS
FOlLED THIS TIME. /

A man giving his name as Woodard,
who has been in the city for several
days is missing, and w. II. Wood, OF
the Wood-Bailey Clothing company
has check presented by him for $23,
signed by a McRae, drawn on the
National Bank Of Brunswick, and
which is worthless. ~
Woodard went TO Wood Baileys
yesterday to purchase pair of shoes;
he selected them and then presented
this check, made payable to j. F. VIII
lams, in payment, requesting the
change Mr.. Wood was a little sus-
picious, and informed the purchaser
that he would send out for some
change. In the meantime Mr.. Wood
sent the check over to the National
Bank and learned that it was worth
less.
The man. however, evidently thought
that an investigation was being made
When Mr. Wood informed him that he
had sent out for some change the man
replied that he would step across the
street for a package Of cigarettes ami
return for his shoes and change, lie
has not returned and Mr.. Wood now
has both the check and the shoes.

Cities Not Visited.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-Commenting on
the German official statement of the
Zeppelin raid on England the morning
papers deny that any bombs were
dropped in Manchester, Liverpool,
Birkenhead CT Nottingham.
Neither Of these places nor the
countries in which they are situated
were even visited by the raiders" !"
says the Daily Chronicle.
The Times says:
"The names of the districts from
which the airships were reported
show that it was the most remark
able venture of the kind that the
enemy have undertaken. There is no
question that they were in pursuit of
very definite objects.
"The extent to which the facts
could be communicated to the public
is a question for the military au-
thorities. We are clear, however,
that in this instance. as in many
more, the official tendency to try
to keep matters within the sacred
circles of the Initiated has been car
ried too far. The best way to pre-
vent erroneous and extravagant ac-
counts is to tell the people what really
happened. That is the best way, more
over to bring home the realities of
the war to millions to whom, through
the governments own fault, it still is a
remote catastrophe"
Several morning papers urged i'm
mediate reprisals against German
towns.
The Daily Mail urges a program
Of building a gigantic aeroplane fleet
for a defensive and offensive cam
paign. The newspaper says that from
$4,000 to 5000 aeroplanes should be
built Immediately. 1t predicts that
engines of from. 200 to. 1000 horse
power will be found practicable for
a&'oplanes within a short time.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. Eight
lives lost and a property damage
which may reach $1O,0O0,OOO are the
results of today's floods which are
sweeping sections of Arkansas and
Mississippi and Kentucky.
Hundreds of head of livestock have
been drowned, and there is much suf-

flooding thousands of acres of rich
farming lands.
Six hundred people are still ma
rooned at the state penitentiary at
Cummins. All efforts that have been
made to rescue them have proven fu-

Pine Bluff is almost entirely under
water, and all traffic there has been
stopped.
Lake Villa is submerged under three
feet of water, and the levees protect

CHANCE TRIES
TO PROVE AL|BI
TESTIFY THAT HE
WAS IN sMITHVILLE WHEN
OLIVER WAS SHOT.

l-EESBURG, Ga, Feb. 2.-The state
rested its case against Claude Chance
after the taking in of court at ,
O'Clock yesterday, after the defense
had cross-eXamined Hugh Mckinney.
Mckinney maintained his story
throughout the grlling given him
by Col. II. A. Wilkinson of the de.
fense.
The attorneys for the defense. at
this time, asked for a recess of the
court for a short while for a consul
tation. AT 3 O'Clock the defense be
gan their rebuttal of the states testi-
mony. number of witnesses were
called and they testified that Claude
Chance, the defendant, was in Smith
vile from $40 to 80 at the time.
The defense contends that A. u.
Oliver was killed and they have sum
moned a number of witnesses to prove
that Oliver met his death at s o'clock
and that it was impossible for Claude
Chance to have had any part in the
murder and to have been in Smith
vile at $40.
1t is understood here this morning
that the defense will undertake to i'm
peach the testimony of Hugh McKin-
ney, one of the states most important
witnesses, having summoned nine wit
nesses for this purpose.
1t is not known as yet when the
state contends that Oliver met his
DEATH but it is generlly supposed
that they will introduce testimony in
rebuttal that he was killed at about
fifteen minutes till s o'clock and that
Claude Chance, driving highpow-
Smithvile by $40. 1t is believed that
the defense will finish with their tes-
timony today, with the possibility that
the argument OF counsel will begin
early Thur sday morning and the case
will reach the jury some time that
day.

AN ADVANCE MADE
IN THE PRICES
BUILDERS SUPPLIES, LEAD AND
GLASS HAVE MADE A NEW
ADVANCE.

Local painters and those who are
contemplating the erection of homes
or other buildings are looking with
trepdation at the most recent quota
|tions of building materils, including
naintS Aud glaSs.Y YesterLlaX saM--an-
other advance in the price of house
paints and within the last two weeks
glass has jumped several per cent.
Since the beginning Of the European
war the price of the general run of
house paint has increased 35 per cent,
while bronzing powders and special
grades of paints have increased 300 or
400 per cent A so per cent advance
in the price of plate glass has been
felt in two weeks and ordinary window
glass has, in the same time, increased
35 per cent in cost. Where the end
will be nobody knows Recently glass
houses have sent to photographers
who use a large number of glass
plates quoted are far in advance of
figures quoted are far in advance of
previous quotations and make used
Photographic plates things of value.
Since the beginning of the war there
have been six advances in the price Of
painters lead Yesterday there was
another advance of $40 a ton. Previ-
Gus to this there were advances which
increased the price $40 a ton and a
decrease which cut 500 from the
wholesale price Since the decrease,
however, the price has advanced $50
a ton, making the total advance about
25 per cent.
The increase in the cost of paints is
due to the shortage of imported color
materials Blue and red materials
have doubled in cost since the begin
ming of the war. These pigments come
from Italy. Germany and Turkey prin-
cipally. The inability of American
manufacturers to duplicate the anline
dyes of Europe is responsible for the
increased cost of paint materials
These dyes, which are coal tar prod
ucts, are prepared by secret processes.
Though they all contain ingredients
found only in the countries which are
embroiled in the war.
AS soon as some substitute is found
in this country for the dyes of Europe
a drop in paint prices Is expected. A
local paint dealer yesterday declared
that all manufacturers of paints on a
large scale are seeking through their
chemical research departments to du-
plicate these dyes, but have. thus far,
met with small success.

SEVERAL ARE 81
POSITION VACl
Board of Directors
However, and Ma
a New Secretary f,
Two or Three We

With the departure of Jsss. SS6ath-
erly, former secretary OF fhe Bruins.
wick Board of Trade, and with a mum.
Der of applications on file for the POI
sition vacated by him, the question is
now being considered by the directors
of the board and, while it is hardly
probable that the new secretary will
be selected within three or four weeks,
still considerable thought will be given
the subject, as the directors have am
nounced that they will secure the best
man available for the place
Mr., Weatherly left the city Monday
for Atlanta where he goes to accept
the position of field secretary of the
has already started on the duties of
his new office. His special work will
be general reorganization of the
state chamber, especially as far as
outside membership is concerned, and
within the next several weeks Mr..
Weatherly will visit almost every city
OF any size in the state, espousing the
cause of a well-reguated organization
and securing new members for it. He
is well qualified fer this position, and
will undoubtedly make the state or .
sanizatiGn a valuable man
Just who will be selected as his
successor of course, is not known A
number of names We're mentioned In
connection with the position when Mr.T
Weatherly resigned few weeks ago,
but since then other applications have
been received, and the directors are
now busy looking into the efficiency of
all of the candidates. The position, 1t
is realized by the board, is one of inn
portance and one that cannot be filled
by the average man, but rather takes
a man somewhat trained in the work,
familiar with freight rates and the
like, and who is also general hustler.
This is the kind of man that the di-
rectors are seeking, and no favorites
will be played when the time for the.
election of secretary rolls around.
In the meantime the work of tho
board will be keput under President
Butts. All matters will be handled,
the correspondence looked after, and
the directors will give as much of
their time as possible to the board un-
til new secretary is selected.

Hollow Bricks Popular.

During the past few years the use
of hollow blocks and hollow bricks
has extended rapidly. These are much
lighter than solid bricks and effect an
important saving in railway carriage
but they must be distinguished from
porous bricks. The weight alone is
not sufficient guide, as hollow bricks
are now made which are indistinguish-
able in appearance from solid bricks.
When cut or broken their hollowness
is easily seen. On the continent por-
GUS bricks are defined as having a
weight which is notably less than
common bricks, but this definition will
have to be abandoned now that hol.
low bricks are made in large numbers.

STOP EATING MEAT IF
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take a Glass of Salts to Clean Kid.
neys If Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, CON-
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

Bears the
PoIicewomen Prove Practical.

London policewomen have justified
their "unfeminine' undertaking by the
convincing means Of real service. Ac-
cording TO a London dispatch, Eng
land, after six months trial, is really
beginning to like them, though at first
there was violent opposition to the
enterprise. incidentally, these new
public servants are winning favor, not
so much by force as by tact and per-
suasive powers. They have been es-
pecially successful in quieting panic
stricken crowds during Zeppelin raids,
in dealing with drunken and fighting
soldiers, and in calming excited wOm-
en- and childrensfn the streets.
