Held an Interesting Session at
Board of Trade Rooms
Yesterday Morning
BYLAWS AND CONSTITUTION
OF ORGANIZATION TALKED.
At Meeting to be Held in July
Name Will be Selected and
Interesting Report is Expect
ed from the Efficient Secre-
tary.

A large number of farmers and 9TH
ers interested in the organization hav-
ing for its object betterment of those
following agricultural stock and poul-
try raising, met at the Board of Trade
rooms yesterday morning and discuss
ed many matters of an important ma
ture in connection with the project
which means so much for this section.
The proposed bylaws and constitution
were the chief subjects handled and
when the next meeting is held on July
6, it is thought that everything will be
ready. The committee named at the
meeting some time ago to investigate
the workings of other farm organiza-
tions liz this section has been at work
and the report of Secretary Ferguson
will be of an unusually interesting ma
ture. as he at once took the matter up
and has written to large number of
organizations.
President NJ. L. McKinnon, who pre-
sided at yesterdays meeting, is enthu-
siastic over the outlook and the same
can be said of other officers and mem
bers, chief among whom is Secretary
Ferguson. He is making a close study
of the situation and especially as re-
CARDS Glynn county.
While planting on what is termed
community car lot shipments scale
has not reached this point as yet, it
is thought that after organization, the
result of which will be concerted ac-
ton, there will be no trouble in assem-
bling quantities of truck, ETC., so as
it could be shipped by the car loads
and sent to sure and safe markets. It
is planned to have every Glynn county
farmer at the meeting in July and spe-
cial efforts will be made to have them
present and enter the association
which certainly means so much for
them.

COUPLE MARRIED.

On the heels of Mr.. Wilbank's death
DIR. Saggus and the widow of Wilbanks
were married about the middle OF
May leaving Wilkes county and estab-
fishing their residence in Harlem.
Another suspicious circumstance, at
least, was the fact that neighbors of
DR.. Saggus went to him before his
recent marriage, telling him that his
attentions to Mrs. Wilbanks so early
after his wife's death was causing
much adverse criticism to be directed
both to himself and to Mrs. Wilbanks,
and although he may not have been
invited to leave the community it was
made plain that sentiment against
him was so strong that DR.. Saggus de-
cided to move to Harlem
Just as his plans for moving were
completed, DR.. Saggus' home in this
county was burned and he collected
$500 insurance on it,
With these facts pointing so unmis-
takably to criminal work, R. E. Walk
er, auditor of the Fourth Nationa
Bank. of Atlanta, brother of the
first Mrs. Saggus, employed T. o
Sturdivant, of Atlanta. as private de
tective to work on the case.
