A Little Excitment is Always
Caused When a Deputy Unit

Visit to Brunswick.
When the announcement was made
In The News yesterday morning that
Deputy United States Marsha] Mad
dox. of Savannah, was in the city,
there was a large number who at
once asked: "Why?” The official
from Judge Rvans' court came over,
attended to his business and then
went back and just w’hat will follow Is
not known. He did not go to the court
records here, as some think he did ami
JV-ok up bootlegging cases, and this
fact should cause some who have been
worrying since yesterday morning, to
rest easy.
Asa matter of fact, most of the wit
nesses summoned by the marshal
from Savgnnah. are called on civil
matters, so he said, hut, as a rule, dep
uty marshals do not tell all they
knbw. especially when they are inves
tigating matters of a criminal nature.
A number of Rrunswlckians will go
over during the week, they having
been drawn on the grand and petit Ju
