LAST DAY OF THE
SUPERIOR COURT
GOOD TIME NoTWITHSTAND-
ING LONG CASES.

Superior Court will probably end tCf
day, transferring the cases left over
to the city court Notwithstanding the
fact that some of the cases were long
winded ones. Judge Highsmith and
Solicitor Sellers have made excellent
time. They are both money savers to
the taxpayers of the Brunswick cir
cult. In one case the solicitor only
talked ten minutes but he. convicted
his man. Fact of the matter is Judge
Sellers has not lost case at this
term.
Following is what was handled yes
terday: W. f. Rodnall, charged with
sending threatening letter through
the mail was found guilty and sent
enced to pay a fine of 800 or serve
eight months on the gang. He ap
pealed his case. Levi Maxwell made
a plea of guilty of assault and battery
lifs brother killed his horse and he
tried to do the same with that broth
er. John Henry. charged with vioat-
ing the state prohibition law, was
fined 1925 and cost. He too appealed
the case. M. J. Harrison, charged with

Thirteen Americans were Taken
From the Vessels Destroy

ENGLISH HUNTING THE SUB
Thought That Cargoes of Grain
From Argentine and Steel
From the United States Have
Been Destroyed CIV Germans.

RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 17.-Thirteen
Americans were among the 237 per-
sons from vessels captured ana sunk
by the German raider, landed at Perm
ambuco The others were 170 English
men and "a Frenchmen.
While nothing is definitely Gnown
as to the identity of the raider, two
hypothesis have been constructed
from the details supplied by the crews
of the .sunken ships One of these is
that the vessel is the German auxiliary
cruisr Nineta but the one most gen
orally held is that the raider is either
the Moewe itself or sister ship. Ev-
cry detail in regard to the ships con
struction seems to fit this latter sup
position.
The exact position of the Japanese
steamer Hudson Maru when it lost
sight of the raider on January 10 was
longitude 2516 west, latitude south
According to telegraphic reports from
Pernambuco the men landed report
that they were brutally treated The
correspondent of the journal do Brazil
reports that sailors he interviewed
claim to have been kept for two days
without food. The commander of the
French steamer Nanten is said to
have declared that, the raider ap-
preached his ship under the British

announced today. This was the great
est value ever. Crops were valued at

valued at $4.33S. 100000.
The valuation of farm products

value exceeded 1915 $2,204 100000.

Mere Statement of Losses.

LONDON Jan. 1S---No definite news
of the operations of the Ger
man raider in the South Atlantic is
published here this morning beyond
the official announcement in regard
to the loss of ships. The statements
of the admiralty and Lloyds are given
a prominent place i'll the morning
papers, which otherwise print nothing
but comment and speculation
1t is generally admitted that the
raider may possibly enjoy long i'm
munity as it is recognized that it is
easier to find needle in a haystack
than a ship bent on eluding capture
in the Atlantic. Anxiety is expressed
over the fate of cargoes of grain and
meat from Argentine and steel from
the United States 1t is admitted that
the loss of. such cargoes may be
severely felt coming on top of the de-
predations of the submarines.
A number of steamers distinct from
the victims OF the raiders, are posted
at LlOyds as missing. The raider is
assumed to be identical with the YES
sci reported on December but there
is nothing to indicate whether it
lodged the British Gordon in the
North Sea or started its career from
some neutral port.

Staff of the Progressive
Farmer.
AUTHORITY ON AGRICULTURE
No Doubt But That Many From
The City And County Will be
Out to Hear About Farming
Scientifically.

Col. N. F. Thompson, a member of
Farmer, one of the largest and most
progressive papers in the United
States devoted to agriculture and
strictly catering to the needs and de-
sireS of the farmers of the South will
deliver an address to business men
of Brunswick and farmers from the
county at the city hail at seven-thirty
tonight, to which every business man
in Brunswick is invited and which 1t
is hoped will be attended by all en-
terprising farmers.
Col. Thompson is known throughout
the South as an authority on agricul-
tural topics. and he has been deyot-
ing his time recently to promoting
closer cooperation between business
men and farmers for their mutual
benefit The subject of his address
is: Cooperation Between Business
Men and Farmers" The subject will
be handled in forceful manner and
many new thoughts presented, as well
as suggestions of concrete plans for
bringing about the closer community
of interests that must prevail before
the general welfare can be advanced
through unison of efforts of business
men and farmers for the upbuilding
of agriculture as the real foundation
of all wealth and permanent prosperl-
ty. The idea that the entire communi-
ty, including all lines of business and
the professions, is more or less de-
pendent upon the prosperity of the
farming population, and that the in
terests of urban and rural residents
are really interviewer and inseparable,
though comparatively new idea, is
so well-founded and manifestly true
that it has spread over the entire
country in comparatively short space
of time, and bankers and business
men, as we'll as farmers. are coming
to recognize that their interests,
though apparently dissimilar and
without relation, are really closely
allied and dependent one upon the
other. and, there has begun an era of
cooperation between the two that will
result in the upbuilding of agriculture
and the growth of business through
the coordination of efforts for mutual
bepefit.
There is no charge for the lecture.
and ladies are cordially invited to at
tend. 1t is expected there will be a
large crowd of representative and
thoughtful people to hear Col. Thomp-
son at the city hall tonight.
