PRETTY SANFOOD
GIRL JOINS FIRM
Happy Marriage Yesterday of
Miss Clarece Hand, of San
ford, Fla., and Mr. Stedman
Taylor.
There alighted from the A., B. & A.
train from Jacksonville yesterday
morning a handsome young woman
who was evidently expecting some
body to meet her, as she glanced fur
tively up and down the station plat
form. There was someone to meet
her, and he did, although a moment
late. The couple entered a taxi and
were driven away—to the Methodist
parsonage.
Yesterday at noon, Miss Clarece
Elizabeth Hand, of Sanford, and Mr.
Stedman O. Taylor, of Chicago, were
joined in the holy bonds of matrimony
by Rev. Thomas IL Thomson, of the
First Methodist church. There were
no cards, no cake, nobody’s interfer
ence. The young couple left the par
sonage very happy, with the benedic
tions of Mr. Thomson trailing close
behind them.
Mr. Taylor is a well known and pop
ular traveling man for a Chicago
house, and makes frequent visits to
Brunswick, where he has many
friends. The first of the present week,
Mr. Taylor received notive from his
house that he would be transferred to
the western territory within a few
days. He was anxiously counting the
hours before bis regularly appointed
itinerary would carry him to Sanford
—and to his sweetheart. But that
part of the itinerary had to be. elimi
nated. Mr. Taylor used the long dis
tance phone to Sanford. There were
but few words, but they had a world
of meaning. The compact was made,-
and executed in Brunswick yesterday.
When Mr. Taylor goes to the west
ern territory for his firm, he will car
ry along with him another member of
his firm, his pretty Sanford sweet
heart-wife.

UPSET RELATES
HOPE SHOOTING
Released Prisoner Says Bruns
wick Boy Shot at Prison Farm
While Women Begged Guard
Not to Shoot.
Local interest is attached to the
shooting of Tom Hope, young white
boy serving sentence for a felony at
the state farm, by a guard last Sunday
when he attempted to escape and is
now in a hospital in that institution.
Young Hope, a resident of Bruns
wick, was sent up from Glynn county
for the dual offense of stealing an au
tomobile and robbing the store of
Cook Bros., on iNewcastle street, in
which he was accompanied by a boy
companion and a young woman. They
were subsequently captured in Cam
den county, at the hom e of a negro,
by Chief Norris and Officer Freeman,
of the county police force. They were
found drying out the stolen goods be
fore a fire in the cabin, after running
the car into the St. Mary's river. At
his trial Hope entered a plea of guilty
and waß given a long term at the
state prison farm.
According to a published statement
made by a young inmate of the farm.
Kenneth Lipsey, who has just served
his term and has been released, the
shooting of Tom Hope was gratuitous.
In his statement Lipsey is quoted as
saying that Hope and a fellow pris
oner. Lewis Turner, a misdemeanor
convict, made a dash from the prison
yard Sunday afternoon about 4 o’clock.
Mrs. Woody, of Milledgeville, and Mrs
Buckley, of Atlanta, witnessed the
shdoting,” said Lipsey, “and they
begged the yard man not to shoot.”
Hope is reported to be now in the hos
pital without adequate medical atten
tion, according to Lipsey, who further
avers that the boy could have been
easily caught without having to be
shot, as Hope was shot wtih a pistol,
not being more than 100 yards away.
In his affidavit in regard to the con
ditions at the farm, Lipsey says,
among other things "we prisoners
were for long periods without water
to wash in. I know more than one in
stance where threatened for asking
for shoes. I was present the day Capt.
Smith, in the presence of Judge Davi
son, threatened Willie Cooper for tell
ing the prison commissioner that he
had no shoes and had received no
socks in over three months.”
RACES NOT SEGREGATED.
Lipsey also makes affidavit that
there has been no segregation of the
youthful prisoners, nor of the diseased
and that the men have been underfed,
as stated by Christie, and that his
and monotony of the food is true. It
is also true that the lack of medical
attention given the men is a scandal,
and they are permitted to die without
attention even when they beg for it.
Young Lipsey left the state farm Fri
day after serving ten months for a
misdemeanor, at his home in Fitz
gerald, where he may be reached and
is willing to appear on call and give
testimony in accordance with his afti*
davit.
The most salient feature of Lipsey’s
affidavit is contained in his declara
tion that since newspaper articles
have appeared, and an investigation
became certain, there has been a gen
eral cleaning up around the prison
farm, the food has been improved up
on and to his belief and knowledge
there has been no whippings recently,
whereas the "leather” was a potent
factor and growing in popularity with
the officials prior to the release of
Christie.

THE VETERANS ARE
GOING TO REUNION
“Tag Day” Under Auspices Wo
man’s Club Netted Neat Sum
to Help Defray Expenses of
Members Camp Jackson.
The members of Camp Jackson, U.
C. V., of Brunswick, are going to at
tend the annual re-union of their com
rades at Richmond this month. That
was assured when the Woman’s Club
assumed the task of seeing that they
got there—and they are going.
All day yesterday members of the
club, and many young, patriotic girls,
whose grand-daddies wore the grey in
the sixties, stood in the heat of a tor
rid sun in the forenoon, and braved a
driving rain in the afternoon, to raise
funds by tagging all who chanced
their way, and who had a spark of
sympathy for the cause for which
these noble women and brave girls
worked.
Their offering was a tiny flag, a
Confederate flag, to be pinned on the
lapel of the coats of those who offer
ed a penny or a dollar for the honor
of wearing one of them. They worked
heroically, those girls, imbued with
the determination of their forefath
ers to win out. and they did. Under
the supervision of Mrs. R. R. Mac-
Gregor, who led the little army of
“taggers,” they had an excellent re
port to make last night. It was not as
much as they had hoped for, but
are still undaunted.
When the reports were made it was
.found that the day’s work had netted
approximately $130.00. The goal set
was $150.00, and when this deficit is
known there are many who were not
approached yesterday that will make
up the difference.
But the veterans are going to Rich
mond—for the Woman’ Club has is
sued this edict, and that means some
thing.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
NO OPPOSITION
TO CANDIDACY OF
HONIHJILLIAD
Former Superintendent Glynn
County Schools to Succeed
M. L. Brittain.
PRESENT HEAD OF STATE
SCHOOLS NOT TO OFFER
Savannah and Albany Men Both
Declare They are Not in the
Race for State Superinten
dent of Schools, Leaving Clear
Field to Ballard.
There is now every indication that
Hon. N. H. Ballard, former superin*
tendent of the Glynn county schools,
and candidate for state school super
intended will have no opposition in
his race for that place.
Announcement was made from At
lanta yesterday that M. L. Brittain,
present incumbent, will not offer for
re-election. This is the first intima
tion that Mr. Brittain has given of a
definite nature that he would not be a
candidate to succeed himself. It has
been known for months, however, that
he was seriously considering with
drawing from the race at the proper
time, and his final announcement
comes as no great surprise to his
friends.
In connection with the race for
the state superintendency of schools,
in addition to Mr. Ballard, the names
of C. B. Gibson, superintendent of the
Savannah schools, and R. jE. Brooks,
head of the Albany schools, were seri
ously contemplating entering their
names for the place as state school
superintendent. Both of these well
known educators, however, have defi
nitely announced that they will not be
candidates. This leaves, up to the
present time, no avowed candidate in
opposition to Mr. Ballard, who, by the
'way, lias received the heartiest assur
ances of support from every section
of the state, in any eventuality.
It is said that Mr. Brittain will prob
ably be named as president of the
Georgia School of Technology, to suc
ceed Dr. K. G. Matheson, who recently
severed his connection with that
school. Mr. Brittain, it is understood,
can have the place for the asking.
According to press reports, Supt.
Brooks, of the Albany schools, when
shown a report from Atlanta that his
name was being mentioned in connec
tion with the state superintency of
schools, declared that he had not the
remotest intention of entering the
race. He added that he had never in
timated to any one that he was con
sidering, and had never considered,
making the race.
Up to the present time this leaves
the Glynn candidate a clear field. Mr.
Ballard has spent several weeks in
various sections of the state and has
received every encouragement in his
ambition to head the state school sys
tem. In any event, with the most for
midable opposition, he would have
made a most excellent race. He is es
pecially fitted for the position, and
the fact that he Is to be the next state
school superintendent is a matter of
sincere gratulation among his hosts
of friends.
