CALIFORNIA MAN BUYS
LAND NEAR BRUNSWICK
FOR CHICKEN RANCH

Brunswick, Ga.-A modern Cali
fornia-type chicken ranch will be es-
tablished near Brunswick by F. A.
Lyons of Santa Cruz, Calf. Mr..
Lyons, who has been engaged in
large-scale poultry production on the
Pacific Coast, has transferred his
operations to the South Atlantic to
be nearer the centers of consuming
population and to get in on the
ground floor in an area that he thinks
is due for great development.
The California poultrynfan has
purchased twenty-three acres on AL
tama Road, part of Sedgemoor
Plantation, from the Brunswick
Peninsula Company, and his location
is only mile from the model dem
onstration farm being developed by
that corporation in cooperation with
the Georgia Association and the State
College of Agriculture. Mr.. Lyons
will install Immediately a 10,000-egg
mammoth incubator and begin de-
velopment which he expects to carry
on to the 20,000-hen size eventually.
Altama Road is a portion of the
Coastal Highway that is already
paved and the new chicken ranch will
be in view of thousands of motor
tourists.

new ENGLAND TEXTILE
MEN NOT CONSPIRINC TO
DEPRESS COTTON PRICES

Boston, ,Mass.-John S. Lawrence
head of the New England counsel, in
communication to the National AS
ISOLATION of Cotton Manufacturers,
urged that steps be taken to counter
act charges from the South that tex
tile men are conspiring to depress
prices of raw cotton.
"The cotton mills do not wish
ruinous prices for cotton" said Mr..
Lawrence Stability in prices and
not rates which deprive cotton grow
ers of a profit is the most desirable
situation.
"The opinion that cotton spinners
and manufacturers are interested in
depressing prices of cotton, which
has been inspired by loose takers
and demagogues, is now all too pre-
valent in the South. The charge of
conspiracy to depress prices ap-
peared recently in one of the metro
politan newspapers and we are al
ready beginning to hear rumblings of
considerable emotion on this ques-
ton in the South, not from the
thoughtful, but from the unthink-
ing.
"The mills do not want ruinous
prices. By ruinous prices mean
levels which do not show fair and
reasonable return to the cotton
grower. For one thing, if the South
as a whole is compelled to sell its
cotton at below cost of production,
the growers will have no money to
buy cotton goods. Such situation
would seriously affect the outlet of
one of the best and largest cotton
goods consuming markets in the
world.

A., B. e A. Rail
Stock Rises ON Market

The rise from II to l Is reported
in Tuesdays stock markets, indicates
that something is soon to happen in
connection with this property and
that it is likely that the minority
stockholders will be looked after in
some measure, by the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
who have the final disposition of the
case.
The road was sold by action of the
Federal court under an agreement
entered into between a majority of
the bond holders and the syndicate
making the offer at the sale, by which
the stockholders were entirely sacri-
feed. But it appears from the ac-
ton of the stock market that there
may be a favorable decision in their
interests to come from the Commits
sion, which should make report at
an early date.

Child Is Seriously
Injured At Rebecca
In Auto Accident

R. T. Burlington and his three-year
old son are at the local hospital for
surgical attention as result of an
accident which occurred at Rebecca
Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. Burlington, failing to see the
passenger train of the A. B. & A.
pulling into Rebecca, attempted to
cross the track with truck, when
the engine hit it and slightly wound
ed him, but more seriously injured
his son sitting beside him. The child
had both of his feet badly mashed,
his arm broken and probably sus-
tanned other injuries.
The train was in charge of Engi-
neer w. j. Morris, recognized as one
of the best men on the road and with
a record of careful engineer.
The wounded were brought into
town by the train crew and rushed
to the hospital where they were given
attention.

RURAL SCHOOL BOARD
ACCEPTS INVITATION TO
MEET WITH CITY BOARD

The County Board of Education
accepted an invitation to meet with
the Fitzgerald Board of Education
for the purpose Of arriving at some
definite arrangement to establish a
Countrywide High school in the city.
The meeting is to be held Friday
night in the high school building,
when both boards will enter into de-
tails of arrangements. Under a spe-
cial act of the Legislature some years
ago counties having accredited high
schools are given special appro-
priation of $1,000 from the state
state school fund and with that
amount it is thought an arrangement
can be perfected by which the chill
dren reaching the eighth grade in the
rural schools and passing the neces-
sary examination may be allowed to
enter local high school under the
same terms as those living within the
city limits.
A controversy arising between the
trustees of the Ashton high school
and the county board also had its in
ming and special committee of the
board, Messrs. r. R. Dorminey and
S. S. Young, were designated to con-
fer with the trustees to adjust their
differences. The contention on the
part of the trustees of Ashton, which
is one of the special school tax dis
tricts, seems to be that the county
board which arranges for each of the
several schools in the county, inclu-
sive of special districts, should begin
their term of six months with the be-
ginning of the term, which started on
October 4th, while the board con-
tends that the trustees of the sew
eral special districts should utilize
their funds to begin school, run it
for two months and then the county
board would finish the operation of
the Ashton school and make such ad-
justment of their finances later, as
they may agree upon.

M'MILLAN TELLS STORY
OF MURDER OF HIS WIFE

Malcolm Mcmillan, former resi-
dent of this county, whose wife was
murdered and himself seriously
wounded by three outlaws in the
surburbs of Jacksonville, Fla, came
up to spend few days with former
friends after being discharged from
the hospital, where he spent seven
weeks.
Mcmillan lived near the S. A. L.
shops in Jacksonville and resided in
the same house for nearly eight
years, an employee of the Clyde
Steamship Company, was assaulted in
his house by three men and his wife
murdered about A. M. on Sunday
morning by the parties bent on rob-
berry.
Mcmillan recognized them as peo-
pie living in the same neighborhood
and identified them after he recov-
cred sufficiently after two weeks in
the hospital. Attaches of the Jack
sonville prison farm, located near
their home, heard the calls for help
and made a dash for the premises
with blood hounds, who soon located
the three in their respective homes
and lodged them in the Duval coun-
ty Jail.
Mr.. Mcmillan was cut on the head,
his throat slashed and his arm
broken in the melee and shows the
fearful ordeal through which he
passed.
