ANNUAL OUTING
ON JUNE EIGHTH
Young Men’s Club To Entertain
Glynn Academy Graduating
Class Next Friday—Other
Matters Handled.
The Young Men’s Club enjoyed its
usual dinner-meet at one o’clock yes¬
terday and in the short space of an
hour quite a number of matters of
more or less interest were handled.
The members of the club who were
not present will be pleased to know
that an invitation was extended' to
the graduating class of Glynn Aca¬
demy and the members of the facul¬
ty to be the guests of the organiza¬
tion at the meeting to be held next
Friday. The club enjoyed the plea¬
sant task of entertaining the class
of 1922 and remembers very delight¬
fully the occasion.
At tl#s meeting it was also agreed
to have the usual day’s outing of the
club on Friday June 8th. Just where
the party will go was not determin¬
ed, but Sapelo, the Satilla river and
St. Marys were all discussed. It was
finally left to a committee consist¬
ing of E. W. Butts and IV. H. Berrie.
These annual outings of the club have
become a regular as well as a most
popuiar feature with the members
and it is planned to make the one on
June 8 an unusually attractive one.
A feature of the meeting yester¬
day was a very interesting talk and
a recitation by Mrs. A. 13. Johnson,
head of the local Business Woman’s
club. Mrs. Johnson told some inter¬
esting incidents and her number was
one of the pleasant affairs of the
meeting.
Hadley Brown suggested that
business men use catchy slogans on
their envelopes and other stationary
'advertising Brunswick and St. Simon
which was referred to the publicity
committee as was a suggestion by I..
J. Leavy, Jr., that the Gulf Refining
company be requested to use the
name of Brunswick in its attractive
advertising signs being placed along
the Dixie highway.
Henry Hirsch suggested that a
game of baseball be arranged be¬
tween teams composed of the mem¬
bers of the Young Men’s Club and
the Rotary club, the proceeds to go to
St. John’s Haven. The suggestion
was also referred to the publicity
committee.
On motion of C. H. Leavy, a tele- \
gram was sent Hon. F. E. Twitty of |
the club on his elevation to the j
directorate of the Dixie Highway as- .
sociation.

GRIFFIN GIVEN
VERDICT IN BAIL
TROVER
SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE AD¬
DUCED IN TRIAL TO RE¬
COVER CAR
A jury in the superior court award¬
ed George L. Griffin a verdict for
$1,061.65 against the ’Brunswick
Buick Company after being out but
a short time to consider the case,
which was continued yesterday morn¬
ing after most of the evidence had
been heard Thursday afternoon.
The case proved one of the most in¬
teresting tried during the present
term of the court, involving the own¬
ership of a Buick car, the evidence
disclosing some sensational features.
The case was vigorously contested by
the attorneys representing both sides
to the controversy and the verdict
of the jury was anxiously awaited by
the large number of spectators who
heard the issue from the beginning to
its close.
A bail trover proceeding was issued
against the Brunswick Buick Com¬
pany by Mr. Griffin for the recovery
of a car which he had purchased
from 0. S. Perdue, at the time mana¬
ger of the company, and who, so the
evidence disclosed, disposed of the
automobile with the understanding
that Mr. Griffin was to receive an¬
other in lieu of the one he had
agreed to allow Mr. Perdue to sell
to a “quick’’ purchaser.
It was brought out in the evidence
that Mr. Perdue approached Mr.
Griffin, who was on tire eve of taking
a trip North, requesting that he be
allowed to sell his car, which was
practically new, and which was stored
in tiie Brunswick Buick Company’s
garage, to a lady who wanted a Buick
instanter. It was understood that
Mr. Griffin was to receive a new car,
said to be intransit, in exhange. On
his return from liis trip, Mr. Gridin
made a request for his car. After
many explanations, and delays, the
car was not forthcoming, although
had been pointed out to him in the
salesroom of the Brunswick Buick
Company.
Growing suspicious, Mr. Griffin had
bail trover proceedings issued for
Ihe automobile in question. It was
then that J. H. Morgan, stockholder in
the company, claimed that the car
promised Mr. Griffin by Perdue was
his personal property, although it was
in the custody of the manager of the
company.
After the introduction of volumi
nous testimony, and the argument of
attorneys, (lie jury returned a ver
diet in favor of Mr. Griffin in the sum
of $1,061.65.
Civil Docket be Resumed
The civil calendar for the week
having been concluded, Judge High
smith, before discharging the jury,
stated that the civil docket would be
resumed on Monday, June 11th, at
w j-,ich time all the jurors serving dur
j nt ,- t] le present week would report at
that time. There are a number of
causeg to be disposed of following the
trial of criminal cases, which will be
taken up Monday morning.
wag announced that in addition
t G the Baxley bank cases, in which
P H . Comas, president, and J. G.
Harmon, vice-president, of the de¬
funct institution, are to be placed on
trial, tin ,1c. u|' Banking Company
cases arc air. r.to ho railed. Whether
either of these cases will be reached
is now uncertain, but it is probable
that the former defendants will go to
trial.
Following the bank cases, all of the
Glynn county cases proper will be
taken tol.’ on up, including three murder
eases: S. D. I.evadas, Greek, charged
with killing Mike Couvelas; Willie
Young, colored, charged with the
murder of Rufus Cason, and Nelson
Robinson, colored, on a wife murder
charge. It is thought the Levadas
case will be reached the latter part
of next week.

THE NAUGHTY BRIDE
SCORES DECIDED HIT
AT GRAND LAST NIGHT
One of the most thoroughly enjoy¬
able amateur performances staged
during the present season was that of
last night when students of the Glynn
school put on “The Naughty Bride,”
a two-act comedy, abounding in lud¬
icrous situations. A largo and ap¬
preciative audience greeted the play¬
ers, who were frequently applauded
for their meritorious work.
It would be unfair to specialize, as
every member of the cast acquitted
themselves faultlessly, portraying
their parts with refreshing ease and
grace. The cast was as follows: Tad,

lian Lang; Ruddy, Howard Leavy;
