July 4—The following letter from the Washington Chamber of Commerce to the backers of the Brinson railroad shows how this section is interested in the projected extension of the road from Waynes boro, through Washington, to Ath ens: "This section is most needful of rail way improvement of any in the state of Georgia. Here we have a section of country approximately 56 miles wide and 36 miles long that is fed by a paltry eighteen-mlle branch road of the Gear, gia railroad. The opportunities here are very wonderful, and the people of this section have, only begun now to awaken to their chances. “We have offered the Brinson rail road here in the city of Washington $67,400, and propose to increase that to $100,006 before many days have passed, to extend that road here. Thomson has offered $35,066 and the intervening country will doubtless give free right of way through the entire distance. “Should this road go to Augusta, it is possible that it will not be extended farther, though we believe its extension to Augusta will not debar Washington from enjoying its privileges at a later date, and we are not by any means fighting Augusta. but we want the Brinson railroad; we want it to come direct, and we want it right off the bat—now.” POCKET KNIFE SALE Q7 C AQ7 C U I fl u I 75 1 Regular Styles .■ „. kJ Prices to ' W sea 50c Choose M From i/J to It $ R’'' Yoor h R dl $l5O I F 1 Choice \ h >1 Choice 3MJ3F SEE WINDOW ANDERSON HARDWARE CO. 32-34 S.

When Representative Harrell intro duced in the house of representatives his bill to permit a husband to testify against his wife he stirred up a hor net's nest and is apt to have consid erable buzzing about bis head for the rest of the session. The house is full of sympathizers with Mrs. Daisy Grace, accused by her husband of shooting him. and they immediately considered the bill an effort to convict the woman by changing the law. , Despite Representative Harrell’s in sistence that he had no Interest in the Grace case and that his bill was mere ly designed to correct what he believed to be a serious error in the criminal laws, he was n\idc the target of sharp questioning after the house had closed its session. Joe Hill Hall, the Macon statesman who also is a candidate for governor, is said to have been out spoken in his opposition to the bill, while Mr. Hardeman, of Jefferson and Thweatt Moore, of Butts, are among those lined up against. It. Moore Doesn't Discuss Bill. Another member remarked that the bill had about as much chance of pass age this season as a one-legged man in a marathon race. If it is not chloro formed in the committee it will be smothered on the floor or die in a dusty pigeon hole when the session ends. John W. Moore, of counsel for Mrs. Grace, would not discuss the hill to day. or criticise Mr. Harrell for its introduction. Ho remarked that a num ber of women had called him by tele phone yesterday afternoon immediate ly after The Georgian published the story of the proposed law, insisting that the legislature seemed bent on convicting a woman even though it refused women the right to practice law, but he declined to discuss the ef fect of the bill upon the chances of his client if by any possibility it should pass. It is promised that a sharp fight will be made if the bill is reported back to the house for passage. Several mem bers have announced their intention of speaking against it, with open refer ence to the Grace case. McRAE FUGITIVE HELD BY OFFICERS IN BIRMINGHAM BIRMINGHAM.

SIMONS “LID” TO STAY ON TIGHT, SAY OFFICIALS OF GLYNN BRUNSWICK, GA., July 4.—Efforts made by the near-beer dealers on St. Simons island to have the “lid" re moved by petitioning the Glynn county commissioners have been in vain. The dealers tried to convince the commis sioners that by closing these "refresh ment stands," as they termed them, much harm is done the island; that people from Interior points expect to enjoy a "cold bottle" when they visit the resort, and that by closing these saloons the island will lose its popular ity. The commissioners lent a deaf ear to all entreaties and further instructed the special officer placed on the island for enforcing the prohibition law to en force it to the very letter. It is a vio lation of the state law to sell beer in a corporation of,less than 2,500, and as St. Simons has a much smaller number of inhabitants, the commissioners in sist that by allowing this law to be vio. lated they would be parties to the crime.
