ME DEATH OF
MBS. SUM BRIM
Esteemed Old Citizen of Millen Pass
es Into Great Beyond—Was Prom
inent Help to Confederate Soldiers
—Leaves Large Family Connec
tions.
Millen, Ga., Sept 22.—Every one in
Millen was shocked and saddened by
the sudden death of Mrs. Sarah A.
Brinson last night. Mrs. Brinson was
one of tha band of women before
whom the whole world has bowed in
respect—a woman of the old South.
Mrs. Brinson lived through the
strenuous days of the War Between
he Siates and a book could be writ
ten on her experiences. She was a
hard worker through all those bitter
hours, and many a sick and w r eary
Confederate soldier could testify to
her tender care.
At that time there was a Wayside
Home at Millen and every day Mrs.
Brinson would take provisions to the
home and help in every way she could
to give comfort and cheer to the
suffering.
At the time of the burning of Millen
by Sherman’s arm yand most of the
people here were enforced refugees
Mrs. Brinson slept out in a cane brake
in order to avoid the Northern Army
In both the and
World Wars she dislayed this same
interest in the welfare of the soldiers
During the recent war despite her ad_
vanced age, she knitted over thirty
sweaters for the boys fighting “Over
There.’’
Throughout her entire life when
anyone was sick or in need she was
always ready ,to help in any way she
could. To every cne in Millen she
was affectionately known as “Aunt
Sally.”
To the very end Mrs. Brinson took
a great interest in church work. She
was an active member of the Baptist
Church here and will be greatly miss
ed by every one.
During her life time she always
said that, she wanted to live just as
long as she could be useful, and when
that time passed she wanted to die
suddenly. That wish was granted.
Yesterday she had made a trip to the
country. In the evening she retired
expressing herself as feeling very
well. Some time later she arcse front'
her bed and then sank slowly to the
floor and was gone. Her useful life
was over. Heart failure was the
cause.
Mrs. Brinson was married during
the War Between the States. Her
husband, R. A. Brinson, preceded her
in death a few years ago. They left
behind four children. G. P. Brinson.
Robert A. Brinson. Miss Birdie Brin
son and Mrs. Annie Benson .
The Funeral will take place Satur
day morning at 10 30 o’clock. Rev. H.
P. Bell of the Baptist Church will
have charge of the services.

Alidville, Ga., Sept. 25—While the
barks of quarterbacks, the plunging
of the fullbacks and the smasning
of the line tends to give the sur
rounding schools of this section a
winning football team., the Red and
Black of Alidville high has taken up
work on the basketball court. The
reason fo r this is that this school
and others nearby have not put a
football team on the athletic field
nis year.
Coach AlcElvy has had the team
on the field fer over a week, and
he boys are enthused with the idea,
of having a splendid team. Six let
ter men return from last year’s
squad, while t*-'*- are about twenty
candidates for the team. Some of
these being members of last year’s
scrub team. These scrubs will push
some of the varsity members for a
permanent berth on the varsity
earn. “Count” Read, varsity guard
for three years, will return for his
Inst vea r of high school; McNeely,
captain and center of last year’s team
will return; Nasworthy, a guard, and
Murpbree. a forward, will be seen
in action once more while Wasden,

hold down his last year’s position.
Others who 2?ave fine chances for
this year’s team are Oglasly P. Read,
Drew Brothers, Shurling and Sam

White Man and Two Negroes Arrest
ed in Augusta Last Saturday Charg
ed Willi Theft of Three Bales of Cot
ton Now Out on Bond.
Wm. Rcbinson, a white man, and
two negroes Tige Harkness and Tom
Louse, who were arrested in Augus
lo last Saturday charged with the theft
of three bales of cotton were relas
ed tills week on bond.
The Augusta Chronicle of the 23d.
says:
‘ Driving a w agon containing a bale
of Cotton in the neighborhood of
Gwinett and Twiggs Streets, at 1.15
oclock yesterday morning, two ne
groes giving their names Tige
Harkness, of 533 Calhoun Street, and
Thomas Douse, of Waynesboro, Ga.,
were arrested by Police Sergeant
Hewett and Officer Odcm. Sergeant
Hew r ett, acting under the instructions
of Lieut. G. E .W. Britt, brought the
negroes to ploice headquarters where
they were held pending further in
vestigation.
“Yesterday morning the case was
investigated by the local authorities
and resulted in William Robertson,
a white man, of Waynesboro, being
arrested and the trio carried to Burke
county in connection with the theft
of three bales of cotton. According
to the officers the negroes said that
they were working under instructions
of Robertson and. the prior to being
arrested, had delivered two bales of
cotton to a place on Tutt Street desig
noted by the w r hite man. They vig
orously denied knowledge of the cot
ton being stolen goods or having had
any connection with the alleged theft.
“Robertson was taken into custody
yesterday morning by City Detective
Brown and Turner and w r ith two ne
groes w r as turned over to the sheriff
of Burke county later in the day. The
wagon was 'carried to the city stables
where it is being held pending furth
er developments in the case.”
(Savanah Cotton Factorage Co.)
Unsettled conditions in Europe and
the .near-east disturbed American cot
ton * markets last week. There was
( little speculative support, and hedge
selling continued on a liberal scale.
European news improved over the
week-end, and Liverpocl advanced 22
points on Alonday, September 25th.
American markets also advanced
early Alonday, but eased off later in
the day, closing Steady, 16 to 38
points below* last week’s final figures.
This was probably due to selling by
those who did not wish to be bothered
with October tenders beginning Sep
tember 26th.
Army worms have dpne consider
able damage in the West and as far
east as Alabama. The boll weevil
covered the territory and has prob
ably reduced the yield as much as he
did last year.
The Dinners’ Report will be publish
ed on Alonday Oct. 2d and the Final
Condition Report on Tuesday, Oct. 3d.
No doubt the former will be heavy, as ;
it should show at least 60 to 65 per i
cent of the total for the season. The |
condition is expected to be ebtween
47 and 49.

ARE HARD TO GET AT
Chamber of Commerce Secretary
(Tites Endeavors to Have Historic
Spot Taken Over by United States
Government.
Millen, Ga., Sept 23.—1 n his efforts
to have the old prison pen at Law
ion and Magnolia Springs taken over
by the government as a public park
W. R. Crites, secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, has been having
great difficulty in securing the his
torical data required. The records of
the War Department at Washington
failed to show anything, and there
seems to be no historical sketch of
ibis military works on file in the De
partment of Archives and History at
Atlanta.
In addition to the appeals made to
the departments menticned requests
fo r information were made through
the Savannah Morning News, Atlanta
| Journal, Macon News, Augusta Chrin
I icle, Waynesboro True Silizen and the
Millen News. To these appeals there
has been no response. Uhe depart
ment of history at Atlanta credit this
absence of definite information to the
fact that Sherman destroy all war
records.
During the last week an interview
has been held with J. Feaster Brown
whose family owns this site, relative
to the taking over of the property
Mr. Brown is greatly interested in the
project. Mr. Brown lives at Colum
bia, S. C., but during his visit to Mil
len he brought into the Chamber of
Commerce D .M. Blackburn, who re
members a great deal of the old stock
ade.
Mr. Blackburn says this stockade
was built in the third year of the
war. The two forts which are still to
be seen were not in any way connect,
ed with the prison enclosure, but were
placed on the hill as a protection to
the camp.
In his conversation Mr. Blackburn
outlined the exxact location of the
Prison. According to his statement
the old road, evidences of which can
still be seen, was built prior to the
building of the stockade, and had
nothing to do with it. He the
construction of the stockade extended
right across this road.
The stream leading from the won
derful Magnolia Springs was walled
up on both sides and used for sani
tary purposes. Traces of this wall
have just been discovered, Within the
last week a part of a flood gate used
in this construction has been dug out
of (he bottom of the stream.
Air. Blackburn recalls the old stock
ade very distinctly and says that it
w »3 made of logs. These logs were
placed side by side in a deep trench
so close that they touched each other
This trench was thW filed up in the
manner of setting fence posts. The
wall was about twenty feet high. Ev
ery fifty feet there was a picket house
built on top of the wall. These were
used by guards in watching the pris
oners. A| dead line was set about
fifteen feet away from the wall on
each side.
According to Mr. Blackburn there
were between forty and fifty thous
and prisoners in this enclosure.
When asked concerning the remov
al of the bodies from the cemetery
Mr. Blackburn says that he recalls
this very clearly. This was done five
or ten years after the war.
In speaking of the burning of Millen
by Sherman Mr. Pla-.kburn *•«..*s that
the town cLv.wtonville w-. s not
burned for the reason that a man
who ow:iel most of the town was re
puted to Ue a Northern sympathizer.
The homo c: Mr» Mittie Joces who
also lived in the vicinity of the camp
was not burned. He accounts for this
from the fact that Mrs. Jones, after
the removal of the prisoners to avoid
recapture by Sherman, took care of
a crippled prisoner who had been left
behind. When the army r arrived this
prisoner interceded for her and as a
result of his pleading her property
was saved. The only gin house saved
in all the country belonged to Mrs.
/ones. The Hines’ place seme few
miles west was burned before it was
learned that through marriage these
plantations had been consolidated.
Mr. Blackburn tells very interesting
stories of how the slaves on the Jones
plantation assisted in taking stock
over into South Carolina to avoid cap
ture.
At that time there was a mill situ
ated about a mile aw T ay from the pres
ent Godbee highway, or state route
No. 21. Traces of the old dam can
still be seen. The Northern sol
diers captured a slave by the name of
Lowry, who seemed to be in charge
of this mill, and endeavored through
aim to learn the name of the owner.
The negro was tortured and hung up
by tli thumbs, but steadfastly refused
o give the information. The only
statement that he would make was
to the effect that he was free and that
it was his The mill was not de
stroyed.
When asked as to what became of
the old stockade, Mr. Blackburn ad
vised that its disappearance was due
ntirely to forest fires and natural de"
cay.
Senators Harris and Watson and
Representative Overstreet are doing
everything to get this project thru
The secretary of the chamber of com
mer e at Millen is very anxious to
receive further historical information
"cncerning this stockade.
As this site is on the direct high
way route from Augusta to Florida it
would be of great interest to Northern
tourists. The old forts can be seen
f’-om the highway.

WAYNESBORO DEFEATS
MILLEN LAST FRIDAY
In the opening game of the season
played on the local girdiron last Fri
day, Waynesboio Hi defeated the fast
leam trom Millen by the score of 6 to
0. The game w r as hard fought throu
out and not until the l£st whistle had
blown did the Millen boys accept
tlieir defeat. Neither team got-with
in striking distance during the first
quarter and it was not until the sec
ond quarter that the first and only
score of the game was made. Way
nesboro completed a forward pass and
on a series of sweeping end runs
took the pigskin across the line for
tb° first blood of the encounter. Bill
Blount did, the scoring. During the
last half the breaks were undoubedly
against the Waynesboro eleven, twice
the team failed to score when it seem
ed that a goal was certain. Once when
the ball was fumbled on the two foot
ane and again when a forward pass
was dropped right on the goal line.
Thruout the remainder of the game
he ball seesawed back and forth over
the field, although it may be said to
the credit of the Waynesboro team
that most of the seeswaying occurred
in Millen territory. Whit Blount, Bill
Blount, Ed. Fulcher and R. Lester
-e”formed in stellar fashion for W. H.
S. while Burke, Pace, Chew and Boy
er did the most consistent work for
h- 3 invaders.
The Waynesboro team although out
20 p~unds to tbe man at no
time showed anything except the fight
and spirit which has always charac
terised the team of W. H. S.
Toomuch nraise can not be given
