Chas. W. Morse seems to have suf

same old malady.
That French juror took the modern

Chus. W. Morse says he Is willing
to come back and face his accusers.
That being the case, w)iy all of the
haste on Charloy’a part to get out of
the country. Perhaps a real live
French physician might fix things up
for him. He well knows the ropes.
“Not guilty because of insanity”

connection!
The Weekly press of the state Is

THE VALUE OF SAVING.
It was Benjamin Franklin who first
became the great proponent of saving
in /America, and for years it was a
habit with our people.
Ii late years, however, they have
been straying away from the old moor
ings and a reign of extravagance has
been on, finding highest peak dur
ing the great war.
In these days the trend is back tc
saving and everywhere people are be
ing urged to save their money.
The new Christmas Club Just open
ed by the Brunswick Bank and Trust
Cos. is an example of this return to
the saving habit. This club is open
to all alike, men, women and children.
Women are by nature savers, rathqi
than spenders, and many have ex
pressed their gratitude to the Bruns
wick Bank and Trust company for
offering them an opportunity tp sys
tematically save their money.;
The 5c Club and the 10c Club are
V
very popular. Just thing of starting
a bank account with 5c pereVeek, the
largest deposit being only $2.50 ano
have $63.75 at Christmas/time. Start
with 10c and increasing the payment
10c per week, you ha!ve $127.50 at
Christmas time. / ,
Mothers who, desire to teach theii
children thrift and Systematic saving
can put their children into the Christ
mas Club either jfrith lc or 2 c. The
one-cent club amounts to $12.50 in 50
weeks and the Jf-cent club amounts to
$25.50. /
Men and boys are also invited to
join the Christmas club.
Another termed the “flat sum”
er “even abiount’’ plan, is also open to
membership. In this flat sum club,
you a certain specified sum
each ; week —either 25c, 50c. SI.OO,
$2.00/$5.00, SIO.OO or $20.00 or even
At the end of 50 weeks, these
duLs amount to from $12.50 to SI,OOO.
The main idea of the Christmas club
,is that you determine to deposit a cer
tain specified amount regularly every
week, '’’his regularity of depositing
money, is what makes the bank ac
count climb higher and higher, faster
than one realizes.
Newt Christmas all or a part of this
Christmas money can be drawn
■out for Christmas needs, or a part of
it or all can be lefit. on deposit in the
berk to accumulate f:r future needs.
This is a most excellent plan for
saving money, to educate the boy or
girl, or to buy or furnish anew home.
Won’t it be splendid some day to
have a nice little bungalow built
from the small change which would
be tossed away unless the Brunswick
ilank and Trust company offered an
opportunity for systematic savings?
HIS WORK ATTRACTS ATTENTION
A few month** ago, the Central I *w
Journal of St. Louis, requested Jo tgo
Max Isaac, of this city, who for tea
years was Referee hi Bankrupt y in
Brunswick, to ruuke a contribution
on the “Rolief trf Federal Courts and
the Pay of Federal Judges." *
The article of Judge Isaac, w.tr used
editorially by the magazine. It has
attracted considerable attention autl
in a recent Issue, that publication
discussing it, says:
The editorial which appeared
under the above title ii the Ocn
tral Law Journal for Ap v ll 22,
1921, was recently cul'ed to the
attention of the United States
by Senator Spencer of Missouri,
and ordered printed ;3 a public
document.
Our associate editor. Mr. Thom
as W. !’ elton, o* Norfolk, \’u..
was the author of tills editorial.
Mr. Shelton, as thtt’roaa of tho
American liar Association's Com
mittee on Procedure, has be**n
working for many* years to re
lieve the Federal Courts by
means of . threefold program,
namely: *1) modernizing the
procedure at law and in equity;
(2) relieving the congested doc
kets, and (3) securing higher com
pensation. for the judges.
This program is one which tbU
Journal is glad to get bellin t.
In 93 Cent. L. J. 255 (Ofct. 14.
1921) Judge Mav Isaac of Bruns
wick Ca.. at our request, wrote
the ■ ditorlai on the Relief of Fed
eral Courts and the Pay el Fed
eral Judges. We are hoping that
some seuator will make this edi
torial a public document s>> that
the terrible injustice toward our
federal judges involved it* the
meager compensation paid to
them may serve to arouse a proud
and honest people to do their full
duty.
We are delighted that the J-uir-
n *J is able thus effectively to con
otbut,* something to briug about
the necessary changes called for
* >v the program just set forth.

That federal judges are inadequate

and we are pleased that such a well
known publication as the Central Law

As we haye frequently remarked on
the subject, federal judges, of all

* / ' WASTED ENERGY.
>.
Scientists have discovered that
ninety per cent of the coal burned is
wasted. A chemist will take a lump
of coal and produce from it heat, tar,
gas, amonia, carbolic acid, benzine,
synthetic sugar, high explosives, dyes,
and a long list of chemicals. When
you shovel that coal into your furnace
you lose four-fifths of the heat up the
chimney and all the chemicals and
ether products that the chemist takes
from it. The railroads have consumed
a large percentage cf the fuel in de
livering it to you and have added an
enormous percentage to its selling
p 'ice, says the Valdosta Times.
Future generations will need a por
t'on of the coal which we are wasting
with so little thought for these who
are to come after us.
Right here is an opportunity for
economy. All about us there are op
portunities for economy. The rivers
are flowing on to the t>ea with little
heed paid to the power light and heat
that might be developed if they were
properly harnessed to develop the en
ergy that they possess. To i be sure
n any rivers have been made to pro
duce at convenient for
the building of dams; but there are
l r ng stretches of flowing water that
yield no energy for the benefit of man,
and all of which might be utilized by
proper methods cf power develop
nent.
The waves of the ocean are pound
ing shores wasting their
tremendous energy in fruitless ham
mering upon rock-bound coasts, or in
wearing away the sandy shores. The
tides are rising and falling twice in
twenty-four hours and developing lit
tla energy for the benefit of mankind
The heut of the sun is scorching mil
lions of square miles of the earth's
surface and wasting its energy in des
olating what might be fruitful sec
tlons. With proppr mechanism much
of 'his wasted heat might be*collect
ed and developed into energy t-ha*
w. uld be beneficial to human kind.
The winds are blowing hot and cold
last and furious, all over the world
and in them are untold billions of
horsepower that could be converted to
power for heat, light and manufac
taring purposes.
Our forests are being cut off at an
alarming rate for converion into pa
per, and future generations will br
forced to use other building material
than wood In the construction of
dwellings and for the purpoes for
which wood is used, and all this while
wood is used, and all this while the
great corn belt of the Middle West
annually produces raw materials from
which sufficient paper can be made tr
supply every demand of the country
and that m arial is nothing mbre or
less than corn stalks. Not only will
the corn stalks furnish the nation's
paper supply but in their manufacture
into pulp and paper the by-product
of alcohol will pay the cost of produc
lion and afford relief for the alread?
over-taxed ail wells; for the alcoho'
thus produced Is a better fuel for ener
gixing automobiles than the gasollm
that is being so rapidly consumed.
The smoke and gases that escape
from the chimneys of every manufac
taring plant are worth a fortune t<
<hose who will utilize them, and th
time will come when they will serve t
purpose now little realized.
The garbage that Is annually emj
tied upon the city dumps wIU in fu
tnre ag n s be converted intosman.’
things useful to man.
The sewers are carrying away bil
lions of dollars worth of vaiuabk
chemicals, fertilizer and economh
utilities, while the soil of America i*
suffering for the restorative element.-
thus wasted. •
There seems to be no limit to man*;
wastefulness, and there are opportun
ities everywhere for the chemist an
the economist to reap unlimited for
unes in redeeming the energy that I
row b*dng wasted.

CAPTURED NEGRO
HELD FOR MURDER
Ed. Powe!l Caught by Ware
County Police and Sheriff
Owens i! Went Up, Returning
With Him Noon Yesterday.
Deputy Sheriff George Owens re
turned yesterday on the t%>n Atlan
tic Coast Line train from Waycross
where ho went tc. bring Ed. Powell,
wanted for murder, back. The negro
had been working at a turpentine still
near the Ware capital since last
March, when he ran away from Broad
field after having shot and killed Alex
Dunham, a negro well known in the
neighborhood.
The killing occurred at Powell’s
house and a jury was summoned by
Coroner Baldwin, the verdict being
in the usual form that deceased came
to his death at the hands of Powell.
It seems that the dead, man had been
most too familiar with Powell’s wife
and when the latter went home at an
unusua; hour, finding him there, he
shot him. Dunham was rushed to the
city, but died before reaching the
hospital. He breathed his last on the
sidewalk in front of Dr. Cate’s drug
store. Officers went to the scene of
the killing promptly but Powell had
made his getaway. He will be tried at
the coming term of Glynn superior
court.

GREENFIELD IS INDICTED
TWO ROBBERY CHARGES
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., Dec. 3. —Phillip
Rudolph Greenfield, 20 years cl 4, of
Savannah, was indicted on two charg
es f)f robbery yesterday by the grand
jury.
One indictment alleges that on July
18, last, he held up Ernest L. Brown,
cashier of the Georgia avenue branch
of the Peoples Commercial and Say
ings Bank while Brown was alone in
the bank building, and at the point of
a pistol forced the cashier to hand
over $970.
The other indictment charges that
Greenfield entered the sporting goods
store of Kavanaugh and Kendrick at
3271 M street northwest on July 7,
last, and by a ruse obtained a loaded
pistol from H. W. Kendrick, backed
out of the store with the weapon and
disappeared. Greenfield was not ar
rested until the latter part of last Sep
tember when he was discovered at his
home in Savannah with his wife. '
