STUPENDOUS SUM
Cochran Bank Officer, Now on
Trial, at First Said to be Shy
a Small Amount, by Grand
Jury Investigation, Reaches
$139,474.
Cochran, C.a.. Nov. 3. —While the
v trial of U. H. Patrick, former cashier
of the Citizens Bank of Cochran,
charged with the embezzlement of
$7,000 contained in a package alleged
to have been shipped from Macon,
C.a„ tc, the Citizens Bank, was in pro
gress today, a special grand jury,
sworn in yesterday, was understood to
have been busy reinvestigating the
charges against Patrick and. the fif
een indictments accusing him of the
embezzlement of $139,474 of the
bank’s funds.
All of the bills, except the one on
which Patrick is being tried. were
polle prossed by the state because of
alleged technicalities. It is probable
that the grand jury will complete its
investigation this afternoon. It is be
lieved the Patrick case on trial will
go to the jury late today.
Following the testimony of the re
ceiving teller in a Martin bank that
he had shipped the $7,000 package to
the Cochran bank. Mr. Buxton, an em
ployee of the Bankers’ Trust Cos., of
Atlanta, (la., who was sent to Cochran
by the aßnkers* Trust Cos., just prior
to the alleged absconding of Patrick,
testified that he discovered numerous
discrepancies in the affairs of the
bank. The company which Mr. Bux
ton represented had supervision over
the Cochran hank.
E. S. Beasley, now assistant cashier
of the Citizens Bank, said that he was
employed at the bank at the time the
alleged discrepancies took place, hut
that he was powerless to controvert
or block the acts of Patrick, as the
latter was in full charge of the insti
tution.

Taxpayers and Citizens Gener

That Bridge Project Will Re
sult in Greater Returns Than
Any Other Development in
History of City and County.—
Can’t Raise Tax Rate.
j Announcement has been made by
,Chairman J. B. Abrams that a fleet
ing of the St. Simon Highway com-
J rnittee will be held in the Board of
Trade rooms Monday night, beginning
at 8 o’clock, and it is requested that
flll who are interested in the great
fproject to be present at that hour.
An executive committee will be for
mally selected as well as various oth
er sub-rtnnmittees for the movement
which means so much to Brunswick,
(Glynn county and the entire state of
(Georgia.
Since the meeting at the city hall
a few nights ago. various citizens
have canvassed in Brunswick and the
Jrurai districts and very little opposi
tion to the project has been manifest
ed and. when citizens were found who
bpposed the highway, it wt*s generally
bn the Idea that the building if it
would result in a higher tax rate in
-both city and county. All such per
sons wpre assured that this was cer
tainly not tlie case, but. on the other
hand, will eventually result in a de
crease rather than a ra!**\ “The pub

day, ‘should bear the fact in mind that

and up-keeps are concerned, but It
will, in the end, prove a great source
of revenue for Brunswick and Glynn
count v.”
Two Per Cent Against It.
A thorough canvass made so far
has developed only two per cen of the
registered voters against the propo
sition. While many of these are of
the hone-*, opinion that the hiidgc will
not lie advantageous to city and conn-
ty. others, for personal reasons, aro
against it and while these may have
their influence, it. is thought that
when the matter Is fully explained to
those on the fence, ho to speak, they
will readily see that the bridge will
be the best and most important devel
opment in the history of Brunswick
and Glynn county and the best finan
cially.
No Higher Tax Rate.
One thing seems to be in the minds
of the very few opposed to the bond
issue and that is: "it will raise taxes."
This ts all a mistake, it Is asserted
by those In position to know. Both
the city and county boards of. commis
sioners are strongly urging the suc-
C6M of tho bond election on Novem
ber 23rd. and the gentlemen who com
pose these hoards are known to bo
men of unquestioned integrity and,
acting individually and as commis
sioners. they strongly assert that tho
St Simon Highway will prove to ho
the greatest development in local his
tory.
Within the next few days, probably
after the meeting Monday night, a
campaign of education will he started
and every detail In conectlon with tha
proponed bond issues will be fully ex
