OF LIQUOR RING !
Brunswick, Nov. 12.—The seiz
ure of a carload of whiskey, wine
and beer in Atlanta Sunday night
shipped from this city and en
route to Chicago, started an in
vestigation here this morning
which has already brought to
light the fact that Brunswick
has been headquarters of one of
the biggest liquor combines in
the country, and during the past
few weeks upwards of $1,000,
000 worth has been shipped out
of this city.
There is now somewhere be
tween Brunswick and Atlanta a
\ carload for which prohibition offi
cers in Atlanta and other cities
are making a search.
While the liqudr has been han
dled locally, the brains of the op
erations haye been furnished by
outside people, and it was stated
authoritatively tonight that Sa
vannah, Atlanta and Brunswick
men are involved in the handling
of the whiskey through this port.
Two Negroes Arrested.
Prohibition agents arrived in
the city last night and at once
started the hard task of unravel
ling the mystery'which seems to
surround the shipping of the sev
eral carloads, but before their
arrival local officers had placed

Why Keep On
Paying
This Tax?
Everybody expects to pay some taxes,
but why impose unnecessary taxes on
yourself?
Do you realize that every time you
drive your car on an unpaved highway
you are actually taxing yourself one to
four cents a mile?
This is the cost of increased repair,
tire and gasoline bills.
Highway research has
established these facts.
Each year you tax yourself in this way
a good many dollars.
Instead of spending this money for
increased transportation costs, why not
invest it in Concrete Highways and
pay yourself some dividends?
Concrete Roads and Streets pay for
themselves in the saving they effect on
the cost of motoring.
Their maintenance cost is so low that
this saving alone returns good dividends
on the investment, year after year.
You are imposing an unnecessary tax
on yourself from which you get no return,
by failing to work for more Concrete
Highways.
Not in a long time have general con
ditions been so favorable for carrying on
such public works as permanent high
way building.
Your highway authorities are ready
to carry on their share of this great
public work. But they must have your
support.
Tell them you are ready to invest in
more Concrete Highways, now.

unde* arrest two negroes, Will
Austell and Tom Glover, who, it
is alleged, have been'assisting
the work and who have ordered
cars placed at the terminals of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad.
They were arrested a few miijr
utes after they had been drop
ped at a point along the river
front by a well known Savannah
man who is thought to be impli
cated in the handling of the whis
key.
It is stated that the liquor is
brought to within ten miles of
this port aboard a vessel and
transferred to smaller craft and
brought to a secluded spot along
the river front.
Cats were then ordered placed
at the railroad terminals for lum
ber and instead they have been
loaded with liquor, with a few
thousand feet of lumber to hide
it.
Local officers seized a car here
this merning, ordered into a side
track by the same parties ship
ping the previous five cars, but
they made the seizure too quick,
thinking the car had already been
loaded. They went into it, but it
had only been placed this morn
lng ‘ Had they waited until to

it would have been loaded with
hundreds of cases of whiskey.
Reports were current here that
a large steamship is lying off the
Brunswick bar, loaded with all
kinds of liquor. 4

IMPROVING; WIFE

Macon, Nov. 12.—Walter nnder-1
son, of Montezuma, who was seri
ously wounded by James W. Mc
Kenzie, of the same town, in Fort
Valley Sunday when the latter
accosted Anderson with his wife,
Mrs. Effie Little McKensie, will
probably submit to an operation
some time today for the removal
of one of his eyes.
His condition yesterday was re
ported as improved. Anderson has
rested well for the past two days.
Divorce Suit Pending.
McKenzie is in the Houston
county jail, having surrendered in
Fort Valley.
A divorce suit brought by Mrs.
McKenzie against her husband is
now pending in Macon county.
She has declined to discuss the
divorce action and has reiterated
that it has no connection with the
shooting of Anderson, who she
says is a mutual friend of the
couple who has attempted to affect
a reconciliation between them.
Difficulty for State.
A difficulty is seen for the state
when the case is called for in
vestigation by the grand jury, artd
in case there is a true bill re
turned against McKenzie, Mrs.
McKenzie was the only eye-witness
to the shooting affray, and under
Georgia law she can testify neither
for nor against her husband.

(Published Weekly by the Rotary
Club of Griffin.)
The program last Thursday in
charge of John and “Shap was
the best we have had in some
time.
Brother John’s response to
“What is Rotary?” was both en
tertaining and instructive.
W.. G.’s talk on Attendance •*
was interesting and appealing. A
fine musical program was render
ed by Miss Aline Cumming.
Next Thursday’s program is in
charge of Bill and Till and they
have promised us a thrill.
What have I done within the
last six months that has been of
any benefit to rotary ?
What would become of the club
if every member, had done exact
ly as I have done?
How many times have I been
absent when I could have been
present, had I made an effort to
do so?
Would I be pleased to receive
the same consideration from other
Rotarians which I have shown to
my brother?
If I have been negligent, is it
because I am at fault or because
the other Rotarians don’t do their
duty? (Be careful.)
Am I going to continue in the
same old way, or am I going to
start something?
Am I in partnership with
rest of the members in running
the business of the club? If
why not?
Is it right for someone to
all the work and I expect
equal share of the benefits
satisfaction ?—Williamsburg

Kindliness.
To be kind is to be
affectionate; sympathetic,
erous in thought and
Kindlirless is one of the first
stincts of a gentleman. It
gets friendliness. It requires
little effort to be kind and
reward is priceless.
