HANDSOME ELECTRIC SIGN
is ERECTED BY RIFLEMEN

"The Brunswick Riflemen, 1860, Ar
mory." That's the way a large elec-
trio sign reads which was yesterday
placed on the top of the local COM
pany's armory on Richmond street
The sign is a large and attractive
one, handsomely illuminated with
many electric lights, and it gives the
company's headquarters a most at
tractive appearance. The year of the
organization of the company, 1860. is
given good display N the sign. In
this connection, it may be of interest
to say that the Brunswick Riflemen
Is the only military company which
has been intact constantly since 1860,
when that organization marched away
and fought through the entire civil
war. There are now in the city three
old vets who were members of the
company at that time The Riflemen
have remained in commission contin-
uously since that time.

Knoxville this morning just in time
for the committee meeting. Before
entering the committee room, he con-
ferred with Senator Hoke Smith.
Afterward he still refused to indicate
how he would vote. Had he voted
against a favorable report, as had
been predicted, the committee
would have reported the nomination
to the senate withou. recommends
ton.
The nomination was sent to the SEN
ate by President Wilson on January
2S. Weeks were spent by sub-com-
mittee taking testimony regarding
charges against Mr.. Brandeis. formu-
lated by a committee of citizens of
Boston. The subcommittee recon-
mended confirmation by strict party
vote of 8 to 2.

COUNTY UNIT
PLAN IS LOST
At WAYCR0SS
GLYNN AND WARE COUNTIES
STAND ALONE IN FIGHT
DEMOCRATS OF nth IN
COMPLETE HARMONY.

H. F. duBignon, Giynn county's
member of the executive committee of
the Eleventh congressional district,
who attended meeting of the COM
mittee in Waycross yesterday, return
ed to the city last night.
When seen by News reporter, he
stated that the meeting was a har-
monious one in every respect, the only
contest at all being over the report
of the rules committee calling for a
plurality rather than a county unit
vote. Mr. duBignon favored the coun-
ty unit plan. He argued that, to adopt
that plan. would give all counties the
same privilege at the convention and
would not give the largest counties of
the district such b.g advantage over
the smaller ones. He and the COM
mitteemen of Ware county, however,
were the only two who voted for the
county unit plan, all OF TIE other men,
bers of the committee favoring the
plurality plan.
Members of the committee who yot-
ed in favor of the plurality plan point
ed out that such plan would put ey-
cry voter on the same footing; that it
would not be a question of this county
or that county, but vote in Glynn will
count as much as one in Lowndes, and
the man who receives the largest vote
should be the nominee. Advocates
of the plurality plan also called at
tention to the danger, with four candi-
dates in the race, of a deadlock, which
might mean the nomination of some
man not even u candidate.
The committee appointed to pre-.
pare the rules. composed of V. Il. Pad
gett, OF Anpling; Fred Brewer, of
Ware; A. c. Sweat, of Berrien; r..
l.. Tucker, of Charlton, and Joseph
Williams, of Appling, made their re-
port early in the day, liking the con-.
gfessional primary for September IL, /
the same date on which the state pri-I
mary is to be held; the amount as
sessed against each candidate was
$3.50 and the plurality plan was recon-
mended
A minority report by Committeeman
Brewer was submitted. against the
| plurality plan, and, after one or two
talks were made, vote was taken, the
committee voting Overwhelmingly for
the plurality plan.
The committee decided to meet in
Waycross again on September 90, for
| the purpose of declaring the nominee
of the primary.

itor receipt.
Weekly deposits of S1.25 are to be
made for a period of two hundred
weeks. or person Can start as many
deposits as desired. 1t has often been
said that the hardest sum to save is
the first $1,000, but in the Prosperity
club depositor by placing SIS week

end of the club period. Or, with only
one club certificate, member will

very courteous and will be glad to ex-
plain everything about the Prosperity

DRY LAW MUST
Be PASSED. UPON
JUDGE SPEER CONTINUES L.
oUoR INJUNCTION AT MA.
CON UNTIL HEARING.

MACON, May 24-Judge Emory
Speer today ruled that the hearing
in the United States court, involving
the destruction of $39, 900 worth of
liquor now in the custody of the court
involved the constitutionality of the
state prohibition law and would have
to be passed upon by three federal
judges
Counsel for the owners of the whis-
key seeking an injunction against
Sheriff Ricketson of Coffee county
contended the law was unconstitu-
tional on the grounds that it was re-
troactive, that it did not provide for
any procedure leading to the confis-
cation Of whiskey seized and that it
declared there were no property
rights in whiskey. The temporary in
junction granted some time ago will
remain in full force until the final
hearing. No date has been set for
the case as yet.

MERRY MINSTREL
MAIDS CAPTURE
The ENTIRE CITY
DARKToWN BELLIES GIVE ONE OF
BEST LOCAL TALENT SHOWS
EVER SEEN IN BRUNSWICK AT
THE GRAND.

Virtually all Of the Brunswick turn
ed out last night to witness one of the
best local talent shows eyer seen in
this city. They called il the Merry
Minstrel Maids" and they made no
mistake when they named it. If there
was a well known citizen of Bruins
wick whose ears were not burning
last night the reason was that time
passed too rapidly to give the girls a
chance at him.
Everybody was there-at the
Grand. Newcastle street from the
Grand corner back to Gloucester street
was lined on both sides with auto
mobiles and carriages, while the street
cars carried scores of others and
many walked-some ran. The theatre
was crowded and everybody was in
the best humor possible, especially
when the curtain rose on the first Of
fering showing stage full of pretty
dusky maidens, all daughters of prom
inent Brunswick families and all ea-
ger to do their share in good cause
The proceeds are for the benefit of
st. Marks church.
When the fun began on the stage
the merriment began back in the au-
dience. One joke after another kept
the audience laughing while frequent
burlesque and satirical filings at local
citizens caused uproars of applause
Many an ordinarily sober face was
seen to become wreathed in smiles
during the evenings entertainment
and many an ordinarily white cheek
turned crimson as a pretty lass from
behind the footlights made some bold,
said face.
The entertainment was divided into
two "spasms east and the west,
The first "spasm" was brim full of
rollicksome .mirth and the second
'spasm" was ditto. The lovelorn
youths OF the city inSnred their eyes
trying to identify certain members of
the troupe, but all the satisfaction
they got was confirmation of the old
song "All coons look alike" The pro-

question of personnel containing such
well known ladies as misses Topsy
and Turvy," Miss Primrose" Miss
Diana SNOWFALL" and others equally
as enlightening. But they were all
there and spoke for themselves
If AL G. Fields should decide upon
putting lady minstrel show on the
road. he might do worse than come
to Brunswick for material. The ma.
terial is here, or rather, 1t was at the
Grand last night. The ladies' who
are responsible for the show were
commended on every side last night
for the pains they took and the per.
fection OF the show
The parade in the afternoon was a
show in itself. A long line of auto
mobiles filled with beautiful black
girls and headed by the Boy Scouts
drum corps paraded the main streets
of the city about four o'clock and
kept the passersby in an uproar by
their antics. Shortly before time for
the curtainrising, the First Regiment
band gave concert oh the Grand cor
ner and attracted large crowd for
the entertainment.

SERV|A MUST
{ Be RESTORED
SAYS PRINCE
ALLIES GIVE ASSURANCES
THAT NO SETTLEMENT OF
WAR WILL COME UNTIL 1T
Is ACCOMPLISHED.

ATHENS, May % (Via London, May
"a Delayed) Prince Alexander, of
Servia, regent of King Peters land
less kingdom, in an interview today
with representative of the Associat-
ed Press, said he had assurances from
all the allies that no settlement of
the war would be accepted which did
not provide for the restoration of Ser
via.
The prince was thin and worn from
the hardships through which he has
passed.
81 receive you" he said "to prove
how deeply l appreciate the tone of
the American press, which, while de-
Tending the sacred principle of the
liberty of all peoples, has thereby rem
dered justice to our rights to exist as
an independent nation. Servia desires
to live in peace, but only on condi-
tion that it's aspirations, culture and
language are respected as it respects
those of Others"
The prince chatted unaffectedly of
the hardships which :e and his troops
had endured in their retreat through
Albania. Always, however he returned
to the one thought which fills his
mind-the driving of the invaders
from his country.
81 was very glad" he said, "to be
able to assure myself during my visits
to the capitals of the allies that our
legitimate expectations have found
the sincerest sympathy and will have
the most efficacious aid. | was as
sured that the allies are united in
their determination that Servia must
be restored
while waiting for the deliverance
our poor population in Servia has suf-
fered terribly from the cruel regime
under which they now live. 1t is not
anything new for those who know
what took place in Belgium and the
invaded provinces of Russia and
France. What is new, however, is that
business, and what is worse than any
thing of the sort yet seen, is the appli-
cation of Bulgarian methods to the
part OF our country they occupy. We
ouSHl tO KNOW, ne aQQed bitterly,
for it is not the frs. time that we
have seen it. And, mind you, it is
Macedonia that is suffering the most
from Bulgarian terrorism and It is
precisely Macedonia that the Bulgars
claim is exclusively Bulgarian.
1.-THE fate of our civil population is
what worries us most. and we are
trying all the time to find some wav
to stop this determination of our
already almost half-exterminated
race"
The prince spoke with deep emo.
ton of the efforts of the Americans
to aid the suffering Serb civilians.
He praised especially the work of DR..
Edward Ryan, who is now in Bel
grade. Suddenly, as if oppressed by
dwelling too long on the trials of
his countrymen, he jumped up and
said:
Come along, am going to review
some regiments, and l will show YOU
soldiers who are ready for any
thing" adding somberly in an un-
dertone because they have lost
everything"
