proposition now before the people of

highway to connect Brunswick and
ST. Simon Island.
"Such road will be the final, link
in the system of highways now under
construction to connect Brunswick
with all sections of Georgia and the
Southeast, and only by building this
link to Georgia's finest seacoast re-
sort can Brunswick reap the full ben

the building of read to ST. Simon en-
dangering the construction Of the high
ways to the interior it will insure
their completion, as it will increase to
an imperative degree the popular de-
mand for good roads leading from the
cities of the interior to the sea.
"A highway to st. Simon, while it
will be used largely by pleasure ve-
hicles; will be in no sense a sjoy
road" as it will add more to the tax
able values of Glynn county than any
thing that has developed in the past
five years. BY increase of taxable
values and revenues to the county, it
would easily pay for itself within
very fe wyears, not to mention the
vastly greater benefits from increased
trade in Brunswick.

HENDRICKS JURY
UNABLE TO AGREE
Has Had the Case Under Consid-
GRAFTON Since Five O'clock
Wednesday Afternoon, and ait
a Late Hour Last Night Were
Still Hopelessly Divided.

After having had the case under
consideration since about five o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, the jury in the
case of the state VS.. ]. Souder Hen
bricks, young white man, tried on a
charge of assault with intent to muir
der, remained hopelessly divided at a
late hour last night, with the prospect
of a mistrial almost certain.
Judge Highsmith stated that the
jury would be held together until the
adjournment of court, unless a YER
dict is reached i'll the meantime. 1t
viii be remembered that Hendricks
was implicated in the raid on an ILL
cit still, in which VIM. Boatwright
was killed by officers while resisting
arrest. Hendricks was himself seri-
ously wounded at the time, and in ad-
dition to the assault charge, is under
indictment on charge of violating
the state prohibition laws
He is alleged to have shot and
wounded Officer l. w. Rhoden during
the raid, but denied the charge, say
ing that he merely picked up the shot
gun as it fell from the hands of Boat
wright when the latter was mortally
wounded. That: a mistrial will result
is now almost certain, as it is said
that the jury is hopelessly divided.
Trial of the criminal docket has
been completed. and the remaining
civil cases We're taken up yesterday,
the entire day being devoid to trial

it is said that there is enough bust.
ness pending to carry the session into

indicate last night whether the court
would be adjourned today, or run over
into next week.

Open Forum OH This Question
Will be Special Order, and
Many Guests Invited.
DEFINITE PROGRAM WILL
PROBABLY BE FORMULATED
Suggestion Made by Chairman
Miller Last Friday Will be Se-
riousIy Discussed, and Other
Means For Building of the
Highway Will Also be consid-
cred.

An open forum for discussion of
ways and means for the building of
the ST. Simon highway and bridges,
connecting this Incompatible beach
resort with the mainland will be a
special order of business at the week
Mems Club, to be held at one o'clock
this afternoon, and it is expected that
definite program for the building of
this great project will be formulat
ed, and submitted to the people of the
county for their approval.
Chairman MiIler's Suggestion.
The suggestion made by Chairman
Constant Miller, of the board of com
missioners, at the weekly luncheon
last Friday. asking the people of the
county to consider the proposal of
using the $175,000 remaining unex-
pended from the authorized road bond
issue for this work, will come in for
serious discussion, and it will very
probably be determined whether or
not this fund can be legally used for
the purpose, and also if such action
will meet with the approval of. the
people Of the county.
Many Favor Proposition.
That great many of the county's
leading citizens and largest taxpayers
are heartily in favor of this means of
building the highway has already been
ascertained, but it is by no means GER
tain that this plan will be adopted, as
there are other proposals under con.
sideration, and it is hoped to arrive at
plan which will have the unanimous
support and endorsement of the peo-
pie of the county.
Consider Separate Bond Issue.
Among the plans being considered
is the calling of a special bond issue,
~ eAN Pti POpC VI OuliuiliE llC ufSu-
way and bridges, and it is certain that
this plan will also be given serious
consideration. Other plans for financ-
ing the project will be advanced, and
among the several that will be sub
mdtted it is considered certain that
some means will be arrived at for
building the highway by the county.
I'M order that it may be q public road.
thereby resulting in the greatest ops
sible benefit to Brunswick and the
county.
Statewide Interest.
Since Mr.. Miller made his sugges-
tton last week, in his capacity az a
citizen and taxpayer, the building of
the highway by the county has arous-
ed interest in all parts of the state,
and has been the subject Hof wide
spread discussion in Glynn county.
No other project in recent years
has occasioned such general discus
sion, and for this reason the meeting
this afternoon will be of far-reaching
interest. A great many of the lead,
ing citizens of the county have Ieen
invited to be guests Of the club this,
afternoon, to take part in the discus
sion,,;as' it is realized that settlement
of this question will be one af the
biggest events of the. year for Brnns-
wick and Giynn county.

Balfour First to Reply.
When BRAND finished. A. j. Balfour.
head of the British delegation, arose.
This il not the moment to attempt
a great speech" he said. I'VE have
just heard one of the great speeches.
We have heard with sympathy. We
have done more than the auditors OF
a great artistic performance. We have
heard a perfectly candid. lucid expla-
nation OF the innermost thoughts of
the French prime minister.
He told us of the anxieties of the
French people.

has told us today.
1T is of importance and Of the great
fully, that the speech Just heard Is not
hopeful Of immediate solution of the
problem of land armament.
why is there such a difference
In land and sea armaments? Why
do we look with such serene confid-
ence toward the settlement OF sea arm
ament? Because in matters maritime
we have a moral disarmament.
No Moral Disarmament.
las Mr.. BRAND has said. there has
been no moral disarmament on land.
Not in Russia or in Germany is ma
terial disarmament possible because
so far there has been no moral dis
armament.
This has been explained by an
expert. both in his subject matter and
in the way he says It.
Mr.. BRAND has fears that France
may be morally isolated. That would
be tragic indeed.
That the liberties of Europe and
the world. and of France in particular.
Balfour said, should be guarded and
maintained against the dominating
policies of eastern neighbors, was a
cause for which the British empire
fought and still believed in.
