Savannah Savannah Minister Has Saloons Raided Pastor Objects to Near-Beer Dispen saries Near His Church. Dealers Arrested. Latest News of South Georgia Waycross SAVANNAH, Aug. 16.—Savannah physicians are lending their aid to ward securing the freedom of Dr. W. J. McNaughton, who is in jail here under sentence of death for the mur der of Fred Flanders in Emanuel County three years ago. At the request of the Rev, John S. Wilder, pastor of the South Side Bap- t tist Church, who has been a consist ent friend of the condemned man, several Savannah physicians have given affidavits relative to the effect of the amount of arsenic poisoning which it is claimed killed Flanders. They declare this amount of the poi son would not produce death. It is understood the Prison Commission, which is now considering the case of Dr. McNaughton, is perfectly willing to grant him a commutation to life imprisonment, but his friends are striving for a full pardon for him. Dr. McNaughton may return to his old home in Emanuel County and re sume the practice of his profession if the Prison Commission acts favora bly upon his application for a par don. "I am an Innocent man, and nat urally expect to be given a full par don,” he said. “All I hope is that the facts were presented to the Prison Commission properly. If they were, feel confident I will be liberated. 1 have already been deprived of sev eral years of my life, and I am pray ing constantly that the great wrong that has been done me may be right ed as far as possible by the granting of a full pardon.” Au * 15.—On com- plaint of the Rev.

Weatherly has been reappointed by unanimous vote of the Brunswick Board of Trade. Mr. Weatherly came to this city last year from Co lumbus. Miss., and since taking charge of the local board he has made an enviable reputation, both for himself and the city. apartment, presents a striking con trast to-day to her extremely nerv ous condition two weeks ago, when it was believed that Dare would die and that she would be called upon to face trial for his murder. The physicians who are attending Dare at the Savannah Hospital have given out the information that he is continually improving. His recovery is now practically assured unless there Is a sudden change for the worse. The physicians are confident that his reconciliation with his pretty wife on what was believed to be his deathbed has had much to do with bringing about the change in his con dition. Dare was shot by his wife in a fit of jealousy after he had remained out later at night than she thought he ought to. 8-Foot Shark Caught At St. Simons Island Sam Levlnne Lands Largest Catch of Years in Waters Around Brunswick. Summer-Spoiled Skin Removed by Absorption (From Home Queen.) As undue summer exposure usually eaves an undesirable surface < f tan, lust or grease, often freckles, too, it voul<l seem more sensible to remove such surface than to hide it with cos metics. There’s nothing better for this than ordinary mercolized wax, which ar.tuc.it7 absorbs an unwholesome com- oieAion. The thin layer of surface skin is itself absorbed, gently and gradually, so there’s no inconvenience and no de tention indoors. Just spread the wax lightly over the entire face at bedtime and take it off in the morning with warm water. If you will get one ounce of mercolized wax at the drug store and use for a week or so, you may expect I marked improvement daily. When the 1 ^underlying skin is wholly in view your complexion will he a marvel of spotless purity and beautiful whiteness. Don’t let those summer wrinkles worr> you; worry will breed more wrin kles. Better to banish them by bath ing the face in a solution of powdered saxolite. 1 oz . dissolved in ^ pt. witch- hazel. T’sed daily for a while this will be fpund wonderfully effective. tAdv.)

The shark weighed more than 300 pounds, and was the largest caught in these waters in ten years.

SHEET PING AGITATION IS Act of Legislature Gives Authority to Make Levies on Property Owners. WAYCROSS, Aug. 16—While none of the members of the Georgia Leg islatures except those from Ware knew what the passage of the local act on levies for street pavement in Waycross meant they really paved Gilmore, a leading street of the city, by voting to pass the act. The amendment to the city charter was proposed by Council to establish beyond any question the right of the city to make a levy against property of the street railway company for paving on a street occupied by the tracks of the company, whether the part of the street occupied by the tracks was paved or left unpaved. In trying to pave Gilmore, Council has handled one of the hardest prob lems Waycross has ever tackled. First one proposition would be agreed upon, then another, and all kinds of peti tions from property owners were re ceived. Sentiment Is anything but unanimous with reference to the pav ing of Gilmore, but Council is ap parently determined to pave the street with brick. Estimates on the cost of paving Gilmore have varied from $20,000 to above $30,000. With the street car company’s portion of the expense cer tain for the city, the financial end of the pavement has been closed, and Council probably will be asked at an early date to authorize the Mayor to sign a contract and have work start ed without delay. Convicts to Work Streets. At last Waycross is going to get some return frdm the part the city has been contributing to the improve ment of roads in Ware County. The convict gang of the county, under*the new county commissioner law. will have to be worked on the principal streets of Waycross three months of each year, and in order that some benefit might result this year, the law stipulates that for 45 days between now and the end of the year the gang must be worked in Wavcro«s. An effort to reduce the membership of the board to five was defeated, and the board will be increased after Jan uary 1. 1915, to seven instead of six members, as at present. Four of th** seven will be from the Waycross dis trict. The chairman, instead of being a resident of the Waycross district, may reside in any district of the county. However, with four members from Waycross, it is extremely doubt ful if fhe chairmanship ever goes out of the Waycross district. Senator J. L. Sweat’s plan for a board of information, holding quar terly meetings with the Commission ers, were eliminated. Waycross Lid Is On 7 Days Every Week Sunday Closing Supplement by ‘Move On Order to ‘Houses In Our Midst.' WAYCROSS, Aug. 16.—Although the first*warrants issued in the cru sade against the sale of cold drinks in Waycross on Sundays have been withdrawn on the promise of good be havior, it is announced to-day that the campaign for Sabbath observance will in no way be lessened. The prime reformers are H. Murphy and Dan T. Cowart. Right on top of the fight on Sunday drink sales, Chief of Police John W. Colley has issued warnings to women who have returned here despite the "lid order" issued last fall by Mayor Reed shortly after Atlanta closed the "houses in our midst." Several houses bordering on the disorderly variety have just been closed and the in mates compelled to leave the tlty Only a few of the women waited until the last day to leave, as the police let it be known that all caught here after the limit expired would be ar rested and tried in Police Court. TO Semi-Commission and Business Manager Plans To Be Voted on at Special Election. SHORTHAND WILL NOT BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS SAVANNAH, Aur. 16—Stenogra- phy and typewriting will not be taught in the public school* of Chat ham County during the coming ses- ion "because of the shortness of finances." This is the decision of the Board of Education of the county. Superintendent Otis Ashmore and Principal B. F. Pickett, of the High School, were instructed by the board to investigate the question and re port. They hold that the only addi tional expense would he the purchase of typewriters. It would not be nec essary to employ another teacher. Bookkeeping and commercial sub jects already are taught in the schools. Fire Chief May Hold His Job After All Expected Shake-up Fails to Mate- | riaiize in Waycross—Council Remains Inactive. WAYCROSS. Aug. 16.—The expect ed shake-up in the Waycross tire de partment has not yet materialized, it was reported a week ago that for mer Chief Thomas Ballentyne, of ihe Savannah fire department, would be come chief of the Waycross depart ment. So far, however, the matter has not been presented to Council for action. Recent improvements in the fire de partment caused members of Council to feel that a more experienced man was needed as chief, and the report of the expected change caused the friends of Chief E. C. Hall to get busy. What effect, if any, this had is unknown, but it is stated on au thority that the fire department shake-up may not be talked about again until the first of the year, when Council elects the Fire Chief along with other city officials. Fought Four Men; Held for Killing Chariton County Slayer Released on Bond of $5,000—Now in Hospital. WAYCROSS. Aug. 16.—An order was passed by Judge E. A. Parker, of the Waycross circuit to-day al lowing C. W. Webb, charged with killing J. M. Crawford at Moniac, hi Charlton County, temporary bail of $5,000. Authority was also given to transfer Cobb from Valdosta, where he has been in a hospital, to Hazle- hurst. Thursday is the date fixed for a commitment trial at Foikston. When he killed Crawford, Cobb was fighting four men, who attacked him as he started to board a passenger train. After he was cut to pieces he was left by the track all night. NEW TRIAL FOR LANIER OVERRULED BY JUDGEi WAYCROSS. Aug. 16.—Waycross is. on the verge of two interesting elections, and will top off the year with a warm municipal campaign. The first election will be that of a Recorder to fill the recently-created position of City Recorder. The bill, as passed by the Georgia Legislature, provides that any lawyer 21 years of age may fill the place, and while there are no announced candidates for the position, it is known that members of Council have been approached by several who would like to serve until the election next year. After the election of a Recorder will he the charter election. This will probably be called by Council at a meeting to be held next Tues day, and will he for the purpose of deciding what changes, if any, in the present government of Waycross will be made. The charter biil provides for the city manager plan of govern ment, which is a combination of the aldermanic and commission govern ment. and an increased Board of Al dermen with appointive departmental heads. The proposition to have an all-time Mayor has been given up, and instead thp charter provides that whoever is named Mayor must give sufficient time to look after the office properly. Th<* salary of the Mayor is doubled, $1,200 being allowed under the new charter, as compared to $600 at present. The salaries for Aider- men are wiped out completely by the new charter. Heretofore Aldermen have been paid $200 a year. There are many advocates of the two kinds of city government, and the election to be held will undoubtedly go down in th^ city's history as one of the warmest ever known in Way- cross. Connecting Link Will Be Com pleted by October 1—Prepara tions for Entry. BRUNSWICK, Aug 16.—Prepara- |tions arc already under way for the entry of the Georgia Coast and Pied- I mond Railroad Into Brunswick on Oc- ] tober 1.

By connecting Brunswick and Da rien. many miles will be saved in going from one place to the other. The only direct connection with the Mc Intosh County seat is by boat from this city, which requires four and one- half hours to make the trip. With the Georgia Coast and Piedmont in operation, it will be possible to trav erse the distance in less than an hour. The road now runs from Collins, in Toombs County, to Darien, and with the extension to this city one of the richest territories agriculturally in Georgia will be opened up. The road was started last summer, after having been under discussion for five years. The County Commission ers of Glynn and the city of Bruns wick appropriated a large sum to aid in bringing the road here.
