Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 28.-Attor-
ney General Van C. Swearingen hav-
ing given out an interview to the
effect that the State Industrial School
for Boys at Mariana was a prison
rather than a reform or industrial
school; he was seen and asked what
he, as a member of the Board of
State Institutions having supervision
Of this school, expected to do about
it. 81 do not intend to criticize the
superintendent of the school or any
member of the Board OF State Insti-
tutions, but expect to make an effort
before the board to remedy some of
the conditions at Mariana of which
l cannot approve
General Swearingen intends to send
home number of the boys who are
not criminals but who are in good
way to become such if they stay long
in the influence Of the Mariana in
stitution. He believes that whole
sale parole of hundred or more of
these boys, who can better be handled
by the probation officers in the coun-
ties from which they came, will so
reduce the expenses OF the school that
some of the funds can be spent on
education. On his recent inspection
trip to the Mariana school the gen.
eraI was impressed with the idleness
OF the youths lncarcerated at Mari
anna, and he says that instead of
paying fifteen hundred dollars for
superintendent the state should have
the best man money can secure for
the training, development and reform
ing of these boys. As municipal
judge of Jacksonville Mr.. Swearingen
became interested in hayward iuve-
niles, and his visit to Mariana has
stirred him to action in regard to the
institution there.
1t is pointed out that the boys at
Mariana are not even taught table
manners but are permitted to eat off
of long rough benches, mostly with
their fingers, there not being enough
knives and forks to go around, and
last winter bed covering was SO
scarce there, the boys say, that many
Of them slept in their clothes to keep
warm.
Under the law of Florida a man
of age cannot be sentenced for more
than a year for misdemeanor. but
boy ten years old may be sent to
Mariana until he is twenty-one by
order of a probation officer.

MINIATURE LAKE ON
MORN NINTH AVENUE

A miniature lake formed from the
heavy rains, at the intersection of
Ninth avenue and Lloyd street yes
terday afternoon. here is a hollow
place in the paving there, and when
autos dived into the water, some of
them going at quite rate of speed,
it meant a choked engine. More than
one autoist was called upon to get
out and crank his car because of this
trouble. There has been considerable
complaint of the condition obtaining
at this crossing following any rains
likely be drummed into the ears of
the commissioners after today with
renewed force.

Journal Issued
Under Some
Big DIFF f;clllties

When the power went out at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon, it meant
big things in The Journal office. One
of the linotype machines Is equipped
with an electric pot, which means that
the type metal is melted by electric
ity instead of gas. Each of the limo
types is equipped with separate
electric motor, SO that the average
reader can get an idea of what it
means to have no electric current in
The Journal office.
But The Journal has never missed
an issue. Some big obstacles have
been overcome, and about the biggest
was that of last night. The paper,
however, comes out on time in abb
breviated form, but it covers the
storm developments as much as hI,-
man endeavor could do, and there is
no apology to make on that score.
1t was not long before the manage
ment saw the necessity of providing
power to issue this mornings Jour-
nal, and no time was lost.
To the city street department the
thanks are que for the loan of one
of the niftiest gasoline engines that
has been brought to this city in a
long time. This was rugged up and
betting provided for inotypes Nos. 1
and 3, which machines have gas
heated metal pots. The paper was
printed on the fiat bed press of the
Mayes Printing Co.
That in brief is the story of how
The Journal was issued today. There
is nothing said of the work of re-
porters, society editress, who by the
way, was marooned in the office all
night, and the efforts of other en-
ployes The fact that The Journal
covers the storm news as it does
speaks for the work of the staff it
self.
Last, but by no means least. the
composing room worked faithfully
and well. Despite the handicap OF
working by candlelight and dimmed
gas lights, all copy" was handled
satisfactorily.

CUSTOM HOUSE WAS
SOUGHT BY MANY PEOPLE

Probably two hundred people who
were caught downtown when the cars
and taxis suspended service for the
day, gathered in the government
building, and remained for hours. The
crowd which gathered there had a
good view of many things which hap
pened in the vicinity, but all were
anxious to get home, which was a
quite natural longing. People re-
manned until this morning, or until
the rain held up for short period.

VERY BUSY TIMES
SPENT YESTERDAY
IN WASHINGTON
AUTO ACCIDENT
NEAR BOX FACTORY
TWO COLORED WOMAN SERIOUS
LY INJURED WHEN STRUCK
BY AUTO YESTERDAY.

While walking home from work
Rachael Jackson and Elsie Green,
both colored, were struck and seri
ously injured by an automobile, driv-
en- by Cecil Parker, age IS. and resid
ing at 1929 Norwich street. The in
jured women, who were slightly more
than middle aged, were employed by
the Georgia Veneer and Packing Com
pany, and had just left the plant OF
Glynn avenue after completing their
days toll when the machine ran them
down.
1t is believed that in the approach
ing harness the two women were I'M
able to observe the auto until too late
to avoid the accident.
The automobile is the property of
Carl Brown, of the Phoenix Grocery
Company, and was occupied, besides
the driver, by Misses Neva, Pauline
and Lenina Brown, daughters of the
owner.
The injured colored women were
picked up by w. c. Fletcher, G. p
Gregory and young man named Nc
Dowell employees of the United States
Maritime Corporation, who witnessed
the accident, and, after administering
all the necessary first aid, rushed the
women to the Brunswick hospital in
their auto truck.
At late hour last night it was
learned that the two women will re
cover, providing no more serious com.
plications develop.
The accident is deeply regretted by
Mr.. Parker, as well as by Mr.. Browns
three daughters, who are greatly
shocked and grayely effected by the
accident.

Today those followers are demand

BRUNSWICK To
FALL IN LINE
WITH THE TIMES
Newspaper Window Display
Week Starts Soon All Over
the Country.
OUR CITY WILL RESPOND
Big Movement Is Joined by All
Enterprising Newspapers in
the Country-A Great An
nual Feature.

The News announces to every
dealer, merchant and citizen of
Brunswick that the International
Newspaper Window Display Week
occurs from October to 10.
More than SEQ newspapers have
UP to date pledged them co-opera-
ton. The success of the week"
for this year is assured and will
undoubtedly surpass those that
have been held for three success
sive years. For each year this
week has increased in popularity,
and each year more and more
have distributors of products
awakened to the power of news
paper advertising.
Last year newspapers repre-
senting 421 cities and towns join
ed in this movement. This was
an increase over the two previous
years. This year will demons
trate that the movement is pro-
eressive and grows in popularity,
for already the newspaper repre-
sentation is greater than that of
last year. The United States and
Canada will be blanketed with dis
lays of newspaper advertised pro-
ducts.
This is movement which is
beneficial to both merchants and
advertisers of commodities and in
which they can heartily cooper
ate with the newspapers. Mer-
chants find that their sales of the
articles displayed are greatly
stimulated, and this, of course,
also accrues to the benefit Of the
advertisers of commodities. Win
dow Display Week has become
fixed annual feature, and may it's
shadow never grow less.
Please bear in mind the dates
and show that Brunswick is also
abreast of the times, and especial
iy now when our city is probably
more spoken of than at any prevl-
Gus time in her history.
Fall in line!
