AT THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT
GERMANY’S BLOCKADE BEGAN
Not Expected That There Will Be
Immediate Activity By German
Submarines.
London, Feb. 17. —At the stroke of
midnight the waters surrounding the
coasts of the United Kingdom be
came, so far as lies with the powers
of Germany to make them, a war
Kone which all vessels, neutral or
otherwise, will penetrate at their
peril.
Some of the services across the
channel probably will be curtailed,
but a majority of the neutral sliip
’ping lines will accept the risk and
continue their sailings. The names
and nationality of the vessels and the
flags of their nations will be painted
on their sides in the hope that Ger
man submarines will not sink them
by mistake.
England’s announcement of de
tails of her proposed netalitory pol
icy, by which she plans to shut off
dir German food supply from the out
side, is expected momentarily, and
apparently there is not the slight
est prospect that this country will
accept the German proposal to call
off the blockade if England will relax
naval pressure on shipping.
it is not expected that there will
he any immediate and widespread ac
tivity by the German submarines, but
the developments regarding neutral
ships should bring to a head.one of
the most interesting and threatening
situations of the war.
MAHAFFEY WILL PRESIDE
OVER JEFFERSON COURT.
Governor Slaton Monday announc
ed the appointment of J. A. B. Ma
haffey, of Jefferson, as .Judge of
the City Court of Jefferson, to suc
ceed Judge G. A. Johns, of Winder,
who resigned. .*
Jefferson is the county seat of
Jackson county, and Judge .Johns was
rendered ineligible for the position
when the new county of Barrow was
created, taking in Winder.
Judge Mahaffey is a native of
Jackson county and has been one of
her leading factors for a number of
years. Soon after his return from the
civil war he entered Emory college
and completed the course there. For
a few years following that time he
taught school at different places. In
particular he was principal of Martin
Institute for several years. Since
that time lie lias devoted himself to
the practice of law and has, for
many years, been one of the leading
attorneys at the bar in this section cf
the state.

“KING OF CLIMAX” KILLED
BEFORE LEESEURG BANK.
V r , ■
Checkered Career of A. D. Oliver
Comes to Close at Hands of
Assassins.
Leesburg, Ga., February 17. —Three
shots fired by unknown persons who
afterward escaped in an automobile,
ended the dramatic career of A. 1).
Oliver, known as the "King of Cli
max,” as he stepped from his bank
here tonight.
Fiction has no hero of frenzied fi
nance whose exploits can surpass
those of the slain hanker, who, ar
riving at Climax, Ga., in 1908 with
nothing but a handbag, arose to af
fluence, fell with a crash to poverty,
served in the Lee countty gang for
bigamy, escaped the penitentiary in
Mississippi by proving a “twin broth
er,” then returned to Jvee countty
and again won riches by repeating
his clever banking operations.
At the time of the shooting, about
8. o’clock, the street was dark. Oli
ver had just emerged from the Far
mers Bank and Loan Company, which
he lecently organized and whose af
fairs have been recently investigated
by state bank examiners. Three men
were seen running away from the
place by A. A. Barr, who describes
them as a large man in black, a
v
small man in black, and a third
dressed as a chaffuer.
