CAMPAIGN LIBRARY WEEK
SET FOR MARCH lsth-2sth

A campaign for books for our SOL
diers and sailors is to be held ali over
the country during the week March
1925.
Campaign Library Service has been
established for just one purpose-to
help win the war and there are three
ways in which it can help:
l. By maintaining the morale Of
the men by providing them with in
teresting and entertaining reading
matter to help tide over the moments
of loneliness and depression which
comes to every one.
2. By helping to educate them as
to the causes and purposes of the war.
3. By providing the men with
special technical books along their
several lines and in making them bet
ter and more efficient soldiers.
Fitzgerald has been asked to do her
part in this work, SO begin now to
take stock of your books and get
ready to share with the boys who are
fighting your battles. We should
have at least one hundred good books
to send from our town, fiction, his
tory, travel, technical books, that will
be of use to soldier, sailor or avia-
tor, just SO it is good, wholesome
reading. They must be in good con-
dition.
Books will be received at the Car
negie Library, or if you have books
/ and cannot get them to the library
phone al and someone will call for
the books. Just get the books ready
and let it be known and they will
surely get to the camp.
Louise Smith, Librarian.

BRUNSWICK MAY
LOSE BIG PLANT

Atlanta, March ll.-Announcement
today that the United States govern
ment has decided to remove the big
shipbuilding plant from Brunswick to
Charleston brought strenuous pro-
test from the Brunswick people, back
ed by considerable state sentiment
Reasons for the decision on the
part of the federal authorities for
changing the location of the big
plant. which is already in operation
on large government contracts. are
not known here.
Gov. Hugh Dorsey. accompanied by
Executive Secretary Claude A. West,
hurriedly left Atlanta at noon today
for Washington. in response to an
urgent call from Mayor J. Hunter
Hopkins, of Brunswick, who is head
ing a delegation already i nWashing-
ton. TheyNhave asked that the Gov
ernor be in Washington tomorrow
and go before the authorities there,
in his official capacity, to enter pro-
test against removal of the plant
The announcement brought great
surprise here inasmucl as it was be-
lieved Brunswick not only had made
remarkably good showing for that
plant. but that there was strong like
lihood that that port also would be
made principal port for embarka-
ton on account of the very favorable
water trent and the fair railroad &C
feasibility.
Gov. Dorsey expects to get back to
Atlanta the latter part of the week.

GUILTY IS
VERDICT OF JURY

Americas, Ga, March 1ll.-Warren
l. Johnson, at one time detective for
the Central OF Georgia Railroad, was
today convicted of the murder of
Walter Wade in this county during
August, 1916
The jury was out sixty-three hours
before being able to agree upon the
verdict. Judge William E. Thomas,
who presided during the trial, imme-
diately sentenced johnson to serve
the remainder of His natural life in
the Georgia penitentiary.
On being told to stand and receive
sentence Johnson was given no op-
portunity to make a statement, but
later saw a newspaper man to whom
he gave the following:
-. No Criticism Of Jury
Il am bitterly disappointed. OF
course, as l was confident that
would be acquitted. 1t is mighty
hard for me to realize that l, an alb
solutely innocent man, who had never
seen Walter Wade, and who was not
in Americas on the night he was kill
ed, could be found guilty of anything
whatever. However, l have no
criticism for the jury. They were
undoubtedly conscientious. But l do
say. that they have made a terrible
mistake.
"A life sentence is an awful thing,
but / am confident that before long
the truth of this case will be known
and when it is there is going to be
a change of public sentiment. The
feeling against me. has been wholly
unjustifed. was never in trouble
before in my life. l have never harm
ed any man. In fact, l was an officer
of the law nearly all of my grown
life and have sought to be a law
abiding citizen.
I'm the event my attorneys get me
new trial | am sure that they will
ask for change of venue since the
jury box has been exhausted: l have
no criticism to make of any one, but
| do know that I have been done a
tremendous injustice. I just want
to add that no man ever had better
representation than / had in my
trial"
