Cam den county is using the equipment of th e highway department, and has di vided this stretch of i-ead into two sections north and south of the Sa tilia rovef, placing in charge of each section a competent man. “The road at the persent time is in faid condition, and is passable for th e entire distance.

A short time later, he is said to hav e told McLaughlin, who called at home of Mrs. Klimek and drank some “raisinjack.” Since then, he says, he hasn’t been feeling well. Mrs. Kozal was brought in and questioned by McLaughlin, but she stoutly denied any knowledge of the poison. However, authorities still are investigating this angle of the case. Police Lieut. Willard Malone and Detective Sergeants Balata and Swen son, in - charge of the police investiga tion, believe they have but scratched the surface of the mystery and that before they have finished the identi ty of many more victims will be re vealed. Neighbors tell of a number of dif ferent men seen around the women’s home and it is believed that the ex istence of other lovers and possibly husbands will be revealed. A check is being made of a num ber of matrimonial agencies on the northwest side in the hope that the identity of other husbands would be revealed.

No action will betaken until Solicitor Sellers draws an order making the verdict final judgment of the court. It will be remembered that Good bread was indicted in connection with the robbery of the Glynn County Bank and whether or not he will be tried under this charge is not known. Owing to the fact that it will be about December 1, before final commitment papers will be received through the usual channel, it is more than proba ble that the prisoner will remain in the Glynn county jail the remaindei of the present year.

WILL CONTINUE WORK FOR BALANCE OF WEEK All of General Commitee Will be Called Together Again on Monday Night to Figure on Any Who Have Not Been Seen Up to last night General Chairman J. P. Davenport had completed through his various committees, just about 50 per cent of the work that the campaign committee originally started out to perform—that is, about half of the proposed members had been seen and signed up for two years membership in the Brunswick Board of Trade. The idea of the two years’ member ship is that it will eliminate the ne cessity of another drive next year, which plan most of the large Boards of Trade in the United States claim is a very satisfactory one. In an interview with Chairman Davenport last night the question was asked if he was satisfied up to the present time with the results and he most emphatically stated that he was not only satisfied, but surprised with the manner in which the public spir ited ciitzens of Brunswick had re sponded to the support of its com mercial organization. It is Mr. Davenport’s idea to have each committee continue work for the balance of this week and Monday night of next week call all of the committees together again and as sign to each committee at that meet ing such membership cards as have not been acted on during this week, and certainly by Tuesday night of next week the entire work will have been completed. It is barely possible that some of the citizens of Brunswick who would like to become members of the Bruns wick Board of Trade, have not been approached by any of these commit tees and Chairman Davenport wisheß to extend an invitation to every man and women in the city to become a member.
