killing of William Desmond Taylor in
Hollywood, but was the driver OF the

principals he had given were fictitious
He refused to divulge anything further
until he receives a written guarantee
from the Los Angeles officers that he
will not be hanged for his part in the
crime.
Fields admitted that one of the names
he gave cloaked a famous screen artist
who was implicated in the murder, and
who actually gave to the waiting gum
men the signal Taylor was alone in
his home and could be killed safely and
easily.
Fields said that the actress hired him
and three others, including a Chinese,
a woman and gunman of Los Angeles.
to kill Taylor. paying them $1,000 each.
The actress was madly jealous of at
tentions paid to another movie star by
Taylor and plotted his death, he said.
The actress went to Taylor's bunga-
low. Fields declared. and he and the
others In. the plot waited In a machine
nearby. She appeared shortly after

signal that Taylor was alone.

to Los Angeles to be grilled by Prose-
cutor Woolwine.

THE GRADUATES OF eLyNN HIGH

Perhaps in all the years to come
into the lives of the twenty-five young
men and women, or boys and girls,
rather, for that is what they are yet
| awhile, no event win be fraught with
. more fragrant memories than the
night of June Is, 1922, their gradual
ing night.
After four years of happy associa-
tons as schoolmates, such associa-
tons as one only knows in life time,
these boys and girls, many of them,
will complete their edncations in col
leges in other cities and states. Sew
eral have already reached that goal
to which many less fortunate boy or
girl aspires, a high school education,
and will by force of circumstances, be
left to battle the world with what they
have already acquired, which, of itself,
is priceless treasure.
History records that many, if not
the greater number of Americas great
COT otobSSAHCA, were Sent out INTO Lno
world far less prepared than Glynn
High School graduate, and there are
none who can foretell to what heights
of fame some of these boys and girls
may attain Imbued, as they are, with
lofty ideals, and ambitions, they face
a wide and a fertile field.
Receiving their diplomas is but
mere beginning in the more serious
phase of life for these Glynn High
boys and girls. They have made bril-
liant start on the highway that leads
through the yicissitudes of the years,
and have learned that whatever of
success is In store for them is to be
wrought by their own efforts. Their
teachers have carried them success
fully to the road that leads to the fu-
ture, and pointed the way, and it but
remains for them to pursue, with we'll
equipped minds and brave hearts the
destiny that awaits them all.
But through all the changing years,
their memories will revert to those
bright happy hours spent at Glynn
High School, hours which will never
be renewed, but which will never be
forgotten.

TEN REASONS WHY THE BOND
ISSUE SHOULD BE SUPPORTED

The Georgia State Automobile AS
ISOLATION, in explaining why the pro-
posed road bond issue should be sup
ported by the people, advances ten sal
lent reasons, as follows:
l. Without the Road Bond issue,
Georgia has no funds with which to
match federal aid, as required in the
federal aid act, and would, therefore,
lose her allotment OF federal funds,
which will amount to $2,7OO,00O per
year.
ties of the state, which cannot afford
to issue county bonds for road build
ing, will participate in the state high
way program on an equal footing with
the richer counties, and thus be pro-
vided with good roads which they
would not otherwise get.
3. Counties that have already voted
bonds and built their portions of the
state highway system will be refunded
such amounts as have been expended
| on the state system, when the bono
issue is passed, thus putting them OF
an equal footing with the other coun
| ties in the state system.
4. Unless Georgia passes the pro
posed constitutional amendment ant
provides state funds, after the eKpira
ton of three years, the state will no
be allowed to participate further il
| federal funds, as the federal act allows
three years for states like Georgia t.
correct their constitutions and act al
units, after which there is no provision
made.
5. Under the plan proposed by tn

GEORGIA IN 1899.

Many years ago, to be exact, in 1899
there was published in New York by
zone of the most reputable publishing
houses of that day.a periodical known
as Chapin's United States Gazetteer
In that particular issue there are a
number of interesting facts related to
Georgia, among them being the follow
ing. 1t will be noticed that Brunswick
and a number of other Georgia towns
and cities are mentioned as being in
existence at that time. The Gazetteer
says:
1.-The population was 516,S23, OF
whom 1880 were slaves. The chief
cities and towns were Savannah, All
gusta and Milledgeville. The pine
barrens extend sixty to eighty miles
from the sea. beyond which the coup-
try rises and undulates, with consid-
cradle elevations. In the interior the
land is strong and productive and well
adapted to the iultivation of cotton,
rice and tobacco.
Oranges, lines and figs are also
raised abundantly. Considerable gold
has been found in the neighborhood of
the Blue Ridge. Until recently, a
large portion of the northwest section
of the state was occupied by the Cher
Okee Indians and the western part by
the Creeks who have been recently
removed to the lands assigned them
by the United States west of Arkan-
sas.'
The railroads mentioned were the
Augusta & Athens Railroad, fourteen
miles long; the Altamaha &, Bruins
wick railroad, twelve miles long; the
Macon & Forsyth Railroad, twenty
live miles long; the Augusta and Co
lumbus Railroad, about two hundred
and ten miles long: and the Central
Railroad, to connect the cities of Sa.
