Solicitor General
- Jos. H. Thomas,
~ On last Raturday, Governor Hoke
Smith appointed Judge Joseph H.
Thowas, of Baxley, Appling Coun
ty, Solicitor General of the Bruns
wick Judictal Circuit, to succeed
Hon. John W. Bennett. The late
lamented E. Lawton Walker had
been eiected to this office but did
not live to assume ite dutivs, Judge
‘Thomas will serve two years under.
this appointment, when th= vacan
cy will be regularly filled by elec
tion. :
Judge Joseph Henry Thomas is a
uative of Bristol, Pierce County,
born it 1867, In early life he mov
ed with his parents to Applng
County, where he has ever since re
sided. He attended tue rural
schools of Appling and in these ob
taineu the ruliments of an educa
tion, At eighteen his father died
leaving ycung Joseph about two
hundred dollars as hiz share of the
very small estate. With ti{is.nl}-‘j
cleus he began life. By teaching
school at intervals aad with the a
bove very small pittance he entered:j
Mercer University in 1889 and by
hard work aud with thie very closest |
application he was graduated from
ihat well known institution frcm
both the literary and law depart
ments. While a student theie he .
was known for his close application
t his studies, The honors that he
received while he was at the Univer i
sity prove this. In June Igor he’
won the First Sophomore Medal in
“the oratical contest; whila =t ‘grad’
nation he was the Aniversarian of|
the Cice}onian Society and deliver.
ed the oratiou with credit.
Atter graduation Mr. Thomas re
curned to Baxley. He was princi
pal of the Baxlcy High School 1893
and 1894- He was also for a time
owner and editor of the Baxley Ban
ner. He then entered into active
practice of his chosen profession,
the law, Almost coatinually he has
served in some position of honor
aaa trust, always honorably and
creditably. He served his home
town, Baxley, as Mayor for four
terms—in 1897, 1898, 1905 and
1906. He was Scligitor of the City
Court of Baxiey fcr four years dur
ing 1898, 1899. 1900 and 1901, and
itls a matter of record, certainly
complimentary to his legal ability,
that not a single accusation brought
and drawn by him was ever dismiss
ed or successfully demnrred to.
When apvointed Solicitor General
of the Brunswick Judicial Circoit
he-was finishing out a term as Judge !
of th= City ourt of Baxley, having
served in this important pusition
during 1906, 1907 and 1go8.« He
has also served his tellow citizens as
hairman of the (‘ounty I'emocratic
Exccutive Committee for fve or six
years. He was pever a candidaie
before the peodoFor ane office. ‘

In 1894 Judge Thomas was mar
ried to Miss Fannie Mil'kin, the ela-l
est daughter of Capt. and Mrs Ben|
Milikin of Jesup anda they have
three int-resting children—two
daughters and a son,
; Judge Thomas is emphatically
what the world calls a self-made
man. His parents were compara
tively poor, plain honest peaple who |
lived upon the farm. From thcse‘l
Mr. Thomas did not inherit wealth,
but they left him a legacy far more
valuable by far than stocks and
bonds—they instilled into the boy’s
wind and heart an uprightness of
purpose and an honesty of charac
ter that has characterized his every
act theoughout all his walks of life.
As a lawyer he has the full respect
and confidence of the bar, In his
practice he meyer resorted in the

True_'vvomanly Beauty,
No woman can be truly beautiful |
who has a yellow complexion caused
by a torpid liver, To be beautiful
a woman must have good health,
and this can be accomplished by oc-l
casiorally using St. Joseph’s Liver
Regulator (either liquid or powders,
as you like best.) It keeps the bow
els open, passing off the poisoaous,
effete matter, and in this way puri
fies the blood and assists in clearing
the complexion. All women should
occasionally use St. Joseph’s Liver
Regulator. Liquid, 50 cents a bot
tle; powders, 25 cents a box. ]

Shipwrecks and Courts Martial,
The custom of lmldlng courts martinl
fn the British navy after every case of
ghipwreck has a curious origin, In
1741 the Wager, one of Commodore
Anson’s vessels, was wrecked off the
copst of Chlle, most of the crew being
saved. The men and some of the juy.
for officers held that they were no
longer amenable to discipline because
their pay ceased with the wreek, but
the captaln, whose name was Dayy
Chenp, differed, treated them as mutl
veers and shot one of his midshipmen,.
ITe wag then deposed, and most of the
crew made off In three of the boats,
Later when it was proposed to proceed
agninst the so ealled mutineers the Inw
ofiicers of the crown deelded that the
men had been correct in thelr yview.
This discovery Jed to the framing of
section 91 °of the nrticles of war, which
proyldes that in the case of shipwreck,
destruction or capture by the enemy a
#hip is held to remaln In commission
pending Inquiry by a court martial,
The Pigs of Brittany.
“Drittany Is all right,” the traveled
man said cautiously, “but beware of
the pigg there, The Breton pig is not
fat and indolent like ours, Ile is as
lean and fiery as a wolf and twice a
wolf's slze., All over Brittany yon see
him, swoggering up and down the
white voads in search of roots, bherries,
frogs, anything-for lhe must forage
for himsclf—his master never feeds
him. Step ont of his way, or he will
snarl and leap at you,
