A meeting of the members of the
bar of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit
was held in the Superior Court room

looking to the creation of a new Judi
cial circuit from the territory compos-
'ifIjjjf the Brunswick Circuit.
tvrfon. Leon A. Wilson, of Waycross,

Circuit: Glynn, Wayne, Pierce, Ap

members of the bar at Brunswick,
Ga., on Wednesday evening after the
fourth Monday in this month, for the
purpose of finally determining the
question as to whether legislation will
de requested of the ensuing General
Assembly of Georgia, creating a new
circuit, and in case the matter is de
cided in the affirmative, that a com
mittee be appointed to draft a bill
to that end, arrange the calendar of
the courts of the two circuits and
present the matter to the legislature
for adoption.
Chairman Wilson is preparing the
notices to be Bent to the members

Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Heed have re

father of Master Edwin, Harry and
Miss Helen MorriB, who have made
their home here with theJr grand
parents since the death of their
mother, which occurred last year.
The children thought a great deal of
their father and were looking forward
with much pleasure to a visit from
him in the near future. His death,
which was unexpected, was a great
shock to his children and to Mr. and
Mrs. Reed. Mr. Morris’ oldest son,
David, was with him when the end
came.
Wallis Carswell Gets the Prize.
A month since Rev. W. H. Scruggs
offered a prize to the boy of the Bap
tist Sunday School who would write
the best article on “Why Should Boys
go to Church." The following arti
cle from Wafllis Carswell, aged 14
years, has been awarded the prize:
I should first suggest three or four
reasons why boys should attend
church.
My first and great reason is that
Christ,” who is our great Examplar,
was accustomed, when a boy to reg
ularly attend services at the house
of the Lord, and when in after years
while teaching His Disciples, He gave
the world to understand that it fs
right that we should assemble our
selves, on the first day of each week,
together in the Lord’s House.
Next, wo are taught that boys
should be raised in the way they
should go, that when they are older
they may not depart from it. And
when a boy once loves to go to church
he is apt to do so when a man.
My third reason is that the best
people love to go to church and there
boys finl the best people to associate
with.
My fourth reason is that it is the
best, place for boys to learn about
God, the Bible, and how to serve the
Lord and become Christian men.

Washington, May 17.—Since ex«
Senator Chandler has appeared in the
role as the enemy of Administration by
accusing the President of not^being
the Judgment of truth, the specula
tion has been busy as to what meas
ures the executive would take to
"Get even.” The Beast that woulfl
happen Chandler gossips reckon,
would be his official beheading as
president ,of ^Spanish treaty, and
claims commission Chandlers job-is at
the absolute mercy of the President.
The President could remove him but
it is understood that he will not re-,
venge himself in this way. Perhaps
he would do bo if his arch enemy had
a long tenure of office but as there
are only three and half months long
er for the commission to serve, it is
hinted that Chandler might welcome
the removal as tnat would give him
an opportunity to be more outspoken.

Funeral of Mr. Denmark.
By Telegraph to toe Herald.
Savannah, Ga., May 17.—The funeral
of Mr. Thomas Denmark, whose death
occurred yesterday will take place
this afternoon at 5 o’clock from the
Firts Baptist Church. Mr Denmark
has been ill with typhoid fever for
seven weeks. His death removes one
of the most promising young men in
this section of the state. Mr. Denmark
was the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. A.
Denmark. Mr. B. A. Denmark was up
to bis death five years ago one of
the foremost lawyers at the bar in
the state. The son followed his fath-
footsteps and graduated from
Mr Emmett Mlzqll, who recent
moved here from Ft. Mudge, anJ
whose family had not yet arrived here,
was found in the house he was oc
cupying In Old Nine last night in a
very bad condition. Mr. Mlzell ha
been alone in the house without food
or water since Monday and was very
weak. He was carried to the home of
Mr. George Crawford on Georgia
street. Some laudanum, so the HeralJ
learnB, was purchased for the man on
account of his wealf condition.
It is presumed that Mr. Mizell tool
an overdose of the laudanum with
suicidal Intent, and when Dr. Latimer
was called to see the young man this
morning he found that his condition
was serious. It Is said that Mr. Mlzell
Bald that he was in trouble, but just
what caused him to be in such a
despondent mood as to attempt to
end his earthly existence, the Herald
did not learn. He moved his house
hold effects here and was occupying
a house in Old Nine by him
self, his family still being at Ft.
Mudge.
There is some doubt as to whether
Mr. Mlzell will recover or not.

Washington, May 17.—This Con
gress will show no favors to the
Chinese In the matter of ameliorating
existing exclusion -laws despite the
boycott of American goods In China.
This, it may be announced upon the
best authority, is the decision of a
majority of the members of tbs suT-
committee of the Houbo committee on
foreign affairs, to which waB referred
the whole subject of amending the ex
clusion Jaws so as to make the Chin
ese feel better to this country.
The sub-committee consists of Re
presentatives Perkins and Fassett, re
publicans, of New York, and Howard
Democrat, of Georgia. The committee
will make a report to the full com
mittee of foreign affairs in a week,
but this report will favorably propose
to send immigration officials to the
Chinese ports to examine Chinese com
ing to this country so that the almond-
eyed imigrant may be rejected on the
spot or allowed to come on through
without interuption. Under the pres
ent laws the Chlnamnn procures a
certificate from United States consuls
In China and comes on to the United
States. Tne chances are one In three
that he will be rejected and returned
to China. If Congress enacts the re
commendation of the subcommitte the
rejection of Chinese In this country
will be done away with and the China
man will know at his own ports whetb.
er be will be allowed to land here.
When he Is furnished with a certific
ate by the proposed Immigration of
ficlals he will be allowed to come
right on through without being held
at American ports subject to Invest
igation and annoyance, as at present.
