MISSING SAVANNAH
JUDGE KNOWN HERE
c. j. Orr, Jr., Is Son of Former
Superintendent of P b &c
Schools in Brunswick and
Spent Early Life in This City
Has Been an Associate
Judge of Municipal Court in
Chatham's Capital.

Brunswickians generally, are inter-
ested in the. continued disappearance
of Judge G. j. Orr, Jr., an associate
Judge of the Municipal Court of Sa-
yannah, who has mysterlously dis
appeared and has been absent five
days, leaving no trace of his probable
whereabouts. Judge Orr is son and
namesake of Prof. g. J. Orr, who for
many years was superintendent of the
public schools of Brunswick and Glynn
county and spent his early life in this
city.
Judge Orr left his home Tuesday
morning TO go to the court house,
where a heavy docket awaited him in
the Municipal Court. When he did not
show up at court inquiry was made
by the attaches there and his disap
pearance was discovered. No trace has
been seen of him since he left home
Tuesday morning.
No satisfactory explanation of his
disappearance has been advanced. II
was learned that Judge Orr had spent
Monday at Tybee, where he was in
the surf most OF the day. When he
reached home Monday night his body
was badly blistered and he suffered
considerably from the burns of the
sun.
Friends fear that he suffered a men
tai lapse and they thus account fol
his disappearance, Other theories are
also advanced. A thorough search oil
the city has been made without re
suits. No one could be found who
saw him at the railroad stations the
day he disappeared.
Members of his family have been In
the North Carolina mountains and ii
was at first thought that he might
have gone there, but it has been es-
tablished that he did not go 10 the
mountains, or, If he did, not to any of
the places where inquiry was made.

A. w. WOODCOCK
ELECTED BY LEGION
Is Made Commander on Second
Ballot After Col. Sweezy
Had Withdrawn.

Amos w. w. Woodcock, of Sails
bury, Assistant Attorney-General of
the State and former officer in the
American Expeditionary Forces, was
elected commander at the concluding
session of the convention in the Fifth
Regiment Armory Wednesday, Wood
cocks elevation came in the second
ballot, after Claude b. Sweezey, of
the Three Hundred and Thirteenth,
had withdrawn from the three-cor-
nered fight and had offered his streng-
tn to John Carmichael, of Hagers-
town.
The vote on the second ballot was
75 to 72 in Woodcock's favor. Fol-
lowing the announcement of the plur-
ality, u motion was made and carried
to make Woodcock's election unan-
imous by the convention.
Woodcock's election was practical
victory for the Eastern Shore, as the
sectional lines We're sharply drawn
during the early part of the fight for
the commandership and some bitter
feeling was engendered during the
electioneering. While the Eastern and
Western Shores were backing Wood
cock and Carmichael, respectively,
Baltimore city legionaires were gen.
orally behind Sweezey, but part of the
Baltimore delegation also got behind
Woodcock or Carmichael according
to their individual personal feeling

SHOOTING UP
COLORED CAMPS
Nearly Every Camp Held This Year Has Had Its
Shooting Scrap Last One Occurred At Mt.
Wesley Last Sunday Afternoon.

1t is IA violation of law to carry
concealed weapons, and yet there are
probably hundreds of young bucks
with pistols on their hips in Worces-
ter County. At least they carry
them to the colored camps.
A number of camps have been held
already in this county, and at nearly
every one there has been a shooting.
The last one was at Mt. Wesley, last
Sunday when Reese Wright, the col
ored John Wanamaker merchant of
Mt. Wesley neighborhood pulled his
gun on Clarence johnson, when John
son went up to Wright's Soft-drink
and eating stand and asked the price

sentenced to pay fine of one hundred
dollars and costs. Gordy paid his fine
and was released.
Justice McAllen, of Snow Hill, was
communicated with and informed of
the finding of two gallons of liquor
in Gordy's automobile. He ordered
Gordy's arrest and had him placed in
Snow Hill Jail pending hearing. The
hearing came Off Monday. Gordy was
put under cash bail of 81 900 for his
appearance in the Federal Courts
whenever wanted by L. S. Com

So it will be seen that Mr.. Gordy
had very strenuous day of it last
Sunday, and there is more to follow.

Last Sunday was an unlucky day
for Thomas w. Gordy. of Wicomico
County.
He set out for Ocean City bravely
in his Ford car, with two gallons of
the frey "old critter" hidden away
in the bottom. 1t is likely that he
stopped occasionally to hit the bottle.
for he was seeing all kinds of crooked
roads ahead of him, and trying to fol-
low one, at least, when he struck
another car and came to grief with i
wrecked car to remind him of his trip
and the heavy hand Of motor cop on
his shoulder to remind him that he
must pay the penalty of violating the
laws Of Maryland. But that is not all,
the Federal authorities are after
Thomas for having under transporta-
tion two gallons of "o'bejoyful."

White Women of Worcester
Will Assist in Running the
Democratic Campaign

The Worcester County delegates to
the Democratic State Convention to
be held in Baltimore, at the Audi
torium Theatre, September Goth, will
be named by the Democratic State
Central Committee; the power to do
this having been conferred upon them
by public meeting of Democrats
recently held in Snow Hill. 1t is
reasonably sure that the white
women of Worcester County will be
recognized in the appointment of
these delegates, and they will have a
part in making the Democratic plat
form for the coming campaign.
The white women of Worcester
County are Democrats by an over
whelming majority and they know
why they are Democrats. They are
opposed to any kind of racial equal
ity; and they are opposed to the Re-
publican scheme to burden the tan
payers with school system that is
not needed in this county. G
schools cost enough as it is, but the
public has demanded better pay for
the teachers and better accommoda-
tionS all around These the Board of
Education are giving and the Demo-
cratic taxpayers very largely are
footing the bills; but they are un-
willing to have legislation passed
which will compel them to foot the
bill for the school system proposed
by the Republicans. They are willing
to pay for common school educa-

ton for the colored people and they
do this cheerfully, but they think it
time for those who have been given
so many opportunities to be contrib
uting more toward their own ad-
vancement.
The white women of Worcester
County are also in favor of an ever
lasting peace, and to this end be-
lieve in the doctrines so clearly set
forth by former President Wilson.
They are in favor of disarmament to
the greatest possible extent, knowing
full well that nearly all of the dol
lars raised by Federal taxation goes
to pay for armies, navies and war
material.
The Democratic party would even
tually-as rapidly rs possible-bring
about the condition desired by the
good women of Worcester County.
The coming election may not have
any direct bearing on the last propo-
sition but on the school question, IT
CAN HAVE, by the election of a
Senator and members of the Legis-
lature.
1t is necessary that every avenue
of success be guarded and this the
leaders of the Democratic party look
to the white women of Worcester to
help do. And they will not look in
vain. Last Fall the women rallied
to the Democratic standard and
placed Worcester solidly in the
Democratic column to stay.
