VOLUME XXI. NO. 249
WATS.ON WILL 10 ,
BE CONTESTED BY
SENATOR’S WIFE
She Objects to Liberal Legacy
Left By Dead Senator to
Mrs. Alice Lytle
M’DUFRE PLANTATION
AND WEEKLY PAYMENT
The Widow Gives Notice That
These Items Will Be Called
When the Will Comes up For
Probation.
The will of the late Senator Thomas
E. Watson is to ne contested by Mrs.
Watson on the ground that the sena
tor was entirely too liberal in the
matter of his legacy to Mrs. Alice
Louse Lytle, who for fourteen years
has been associated with him in his
work;
This announcement will bring a
small sized sensation in Georgia and
will be of real interest in this city,
where Mrs. Lytle resided for many
years previous to her joining the staff
of Mr. Watason.
t Mrs. Lytle was at various times,
while a resident of Brunswick, en
gaged in newspaper work on the
Brunswick newspapers and was re
garded as a very bright woman. S’
leaving Brunswick she has been con
stantly associated with the Tom Wat
son activities, both in the publica
tion of his several newspapers, in his !
various political battles, etc. "When
Watson was elected to the United
States senate in 1920, Mrs. Lltye ac
companied him to Washington and
has been his close advisor and confi
dential secretary during his senator
ial term, which was suddenly ended
by death same ter days ago.
The step taken by Mrs.
while of a unique character, will not
come in the nature of a great
surprise to those who have been
closely identified with the Watson
household and general situation; for
many months there has been a rumor
of discord between Senator and Mrs.
Watson, because of Mrs. Lytle, which
it is said, has long been an open se
cret among the friends of the Watson
family.
The hearing on the matter of pro
bating the will has been fixed for
November 13.
The, story of the situation, is told ir.
the following special:
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 9.—Mrs. Thomas
E Watson, widow of- the late sena
tor, will contest the will left by the
"Sage of McDOffie,” on th P grounds
that Mrs. Alice Louise Lytle, who for
many years was an associate of the
late senator, has been left an exces
sive legacy, it was indicated here to
day following the announcement that
the will is soon to be prub Bed.
According to the information re
ceived here Mrs. Watson cvill protest
the. will because she thinks.to. mu 9
has, been left Mrs Lyt' \ The lr.tej
senator’s will provides that Mrs. |
Lytle be given a large plantation in'
McDuffie county, and he also in
structs Mrs. Watson “to pav to Mrs.
Lytl-i as long as she (Mrs. Lytle)
shall live, the sum of S2O per week.”
Contents Unknown
Further contents of the will are un
known. Considerable speculation has
been made by Thomson citizens, but
all of these seem to be unconfirmed.
It appears certain that a lively
court battle between Mrs. Lvtl P and
Mrs. Watson will sooif take place in
connection with the dispute.
The petition by Col. B. J. Stevens,
executor of the estate of the late
senator, has been filed with the ordi
nary at Thomson to probate the will
of Mr. Watson. The hearing was set
for November 13. Notice of proba
tion will be served upon the heirs at
once. *
Mrs. Thomas E. Watson, widow of
the late junior senator from Georgia
is now in Washington. She left here
-Saturday for the capital city, accom
panied by her two grand-daughters,
George Lee and Georgia Watson, to
place them in a seminary there. They
air 9to be enrolled in the National
Cathedral for their second year.

Constantinople, Oct. 9. —The
Turkish nationalist troops yesterday
resumed their advance in the Dar

Chanak, the Brtish stronghold,, ac|

local newspapers.

from Beikos, in the hills on the
Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, Beikos
is a suburb of Constantinople, eight
miles above the Amercan naval an

The British yesterday made final
preparations for defense, blowing up

HOWARD TO MANAGE
SAGE FOR GEORGE
Following Own Retirement in
Rare For U. S. Senate, Well
Known Georgian Will En
deavor to Elect Jurist.
Atlanta, Ga ~Oct. 9. —Judge Howard
will have charge of Judge George’s
campaign for the senate, following
his retirement through the persuasion
of anti-Hardwick leaders who are
supporting George. This was given
out today at the George headquarters.
They presented to Howard the ar
gument that his management of the
Walker campaign had put him in a
strong position with Walker, and his
management of the George campaign,
if successful, would put him in a
strong position with George, and
when his turn rolled around in poli
tics, he could virtually get anything
he wanted.
On the other hand, they argued to
him that he should stay in the race
and contribute to Hardwick’s election
by dividing the ant-Hardwek vote, his
political prestige would be at an end.
That Howard expects to bold them
to an accounting on his side of the
ledger in the future is plainly hinted
in that part of his statement where
he says:
“I have always been willing to do
for others and have done'much, and
perhaps some of them will remem
ber.”
No speaking dates have been an
nounced by George Headquarters. It
is understood that George will
make no speeches. Hardwick spoke
tonight at a mass meeting in Deca
tur.
Boifeuillet will probably make a few
speeches.
The withdrawal of Judge Howard
leaves five candidates for the sena
torship to be voted on in the Demo
cratic primary Oct. 17. They are:
Judge George. Gov. Thos. W. Hard
wick, John T. Boifeuillet, John R.
Cooper and Seaborn Wright.
Should none of the candidates re
ceive a majority in the first primary,
a run-eff between the two leaders
will take place in a second primary
on October 24.
AIRPLANE PASSES OVER

PLACATING TURKEY
FENDIG OEMS;
! IS OPTIMISTIC
Improved in Health, Well Known
Brunswickian Sees Good
Times Coming Back. Pleased
With Local Situation.
Albert Fendig, well known Bruns
wickian, president of the National
Bank of this city and vice president
of the Downing Company, who has
been in New York and other points
in the East, after a serious illness in
this city, early in the summer, re
turned to the city Sunday.
His Brunswick friends will be de
lighted to know that Mr. Fendig is
greatly improved in health and he
plans to actively resume his place in
the business life of the city, which
h e was forced to abandon, following
the illness referred to, when physi
cians advised that he seek rest and
recreation in the East.
He was seen by a News represent
ative yesterday and he declared that
be was greatly improved and ready
to get back on the job for a bigger and
better Brunswick. He says the busi
ness conditions in New York are
steadily growing better aid that he
thinks the American Bankers Asso
ciation was right, a few days ago,
when it announced that the c tun try
was on the eve of anew era of pros
perity.
Adverting to local conditions, Mr.
Fendig says rhey have never been
as bad here as has been the case
i.i many others and that since his re
turn, h e is convinced that things are
a great deal better here than they
have been in a long, long time.
Mr. Fendig looks well, talks inter
estingly and was given a most cordial
welcome hv his Brunswick friends
| yesterday.
I His time, he says, will be divided
I between the National Bank of Bruns
jwiek and th P Downing Company.

GENERAL REVIVAL
AT ALL CHURCHES
Will Begin on October 15 and
Continue Ten Days With
Union Meeting Daily at the
Bijou Theater.
Plans have been underway for the
past several days looking to a re
vival for every protestant church in
the city to begin next Sunday, Oc
tober 15 and continue for ten days.
The protestant menisters met yes
terday and settled definitely that the
revival should begin as planned.
There will be two services daily at
the several churches whose pastors
are in the revival list, those are First
Baptist, First Methodist, St. Mark’s
Episcopal. McKendree Methodist,
Firset Presbyterian, St. James Luth
eran and the Norwich Street Baptist.
There will be a big union meeting
at the Bijou Theater at 12 o’clock
daily for men. These services will be
conducted by yisiting evangelists and
pastors, who will be here during the
revival period, indications point to
one of the greatest religious move
ments Brunswick has ever known as
it will be a simultaneous revival. It
is expected that various civic or
ganizations will lend their aid in mak
ing the revval a great success. Yes
terday Fred G. Warde, secretary of
publcity committee of the evangelistic
committee, received the following
from R. A. Gould:
“I believed there is a real need for
the series of meetings planned by the
churches of Brunswick. From the
standpoint of law and order, such a
movement warrants the full support
of the whole community, and it de
servies and demands tli P earnest ef
forts and full co-operation of every
Christian to make it a success.
Much good should he accomplished,
and some will be, but to what extent
this will be true rests solely and en
tirely with the individual members of
the several churches. The real need
for a movement of this sort originates
with their neglect and the good to
come film it, therefore, necessarily
irests with them.”

AGED MARINER STICKS
BY HIS 45-FOOT SCHOONER
High and dry off Racoon Keys, near,

Duvall, 81 years of age, probably the
o’dest and best known mariner in .

to make safe landing and the heavy
northeast gale carried his trim sloop
high and dry into the marshes off
Racoon Keys. For two or three days
I his predicament was not known, and
he faced starvation, hut his ill for

(By Associated Press.)
New Brunswick, Oct. 9.—Clifford
Hayes, nineteen years of age, Is held
in a Somsorset jail on a warrant
charging him with first degree mur
der the outgrowth of an investigation
of the murder of Rev. Edward Hall
and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, on Septem
ber 4. Raymond Schnider, twenty
two years of age, a companion of
Hayes told the story- of the billing
implicating Hayes, but saying it was
a case of mistaken identity. The
motive is unknown and the authori
ties are unusually reticent.
Hayes loves Pearl Basmer and it
is believed that her stepfather and
she, together, seeing the couple in a
field under a tree decidd ik) kill both
for revenge of a supposed wrong is
tiie story Schneider told. Hayes’ re
ply was that Schneider was simply
a liar when the warrant was pre
sented and testimony of Hayes told
him.
i Schneider and Pearl were discov
erers of the bodies of Rev. Hall and
i Mrs. Mills and were first to notify
the police department.
The double murder was one of the
greatest sensations this section has
I ever had, this being due to the prom
inence of the murdered eouple as es
pecially as to Rev. Hall.
OVER TWO THOUSAND
MAIL BOXES HAVE BEEN
PUT LP IN BRUNSWICK
During the past week something
over two thousand mail boxes have
been placed at homes, offices and
other places by patrons of the local
postoffice and while many of these
receptacles were purchased from
stores which bad ordered them from
factories, hundreds were made by the
Southern Cigar Box Company, which
has an excellent factory located at
the corner of Oglethorpe and London
streets.
In connection with the factory it
may be stated that it is one of
Brunswick’s real live-wire industries
and one that ships its output to all
parts of the country and it may also
be said that the boxes turned out by
the local concern are second to none
in the country and it has been noted
that repeat orders always follow the
first one. The mail boxes are actual
ly neater than those made bv the oth
er factories and the company will
sell hundreds more here.
, the hope of pulling Capt. Duvall’s boat
into deep water, and although two
large prawn boats answered the call
for assistance and went to the scene
of the trouble, they were unable to
move the 45-foot boat, so high and
drp had the heavy northeast gale
driven her. When it was seen that
it was impossible to pull the boat into
the water, Conorner Baldwin almost
begged the aged captain to come to
the city- with him, hut he refused, and
was left alone on the boat, being
provided, however with ample food
and water to last him for several
days.
Coroner Baldwin yesterday negoti
ated with Capt. B. A. White, of the
steamer Atlantic to pull the craft
off, and he will start at once to raise
ithe necessary fund. Capt. White, at
his first opportunity, will go to the
creek and ropes will be carried
through the marsh and mud to the
sailing boat. It Is beßeved that lue
Atlantic can easily pull the boat off.
Capt. Duvall, thoueh sticking to liis
new craft, stated Sunday that if he
ever succeeded in getting his boat
back to this port that he would haul
her out on a high nd dry spot aad
there keep he- and make her his
home for the remairule’- of bis lit*.
