The four prisoners in jail with the same case are, Walker Jefferson Conner, 18, white male from Savannah. James Arnold Brown, 18, a white male, from Effingham County, Mitchell Robert Morris, white male, 18, from Savannah and William Milligan Holloman, 19, a white male from Illinois. They are all charged with armed robbery. ¥ The six white boys had been to Morgans bridge and all had been in swimming, and when they came out they entered the case about 3 p.m. at Morgan’s Bridge and drew a .45 revolver on the lady in the case and took $62.00 from Mrs. Smith. They left there and drove nearly to Columbia, S. C., and then turned back south, and wound up at Carters Truck Stop in Liberty County and again drew the 45 revolver and demanded money. They were arrested by Liberty County Deputy Sheriff Beall. The four men will be tried in the Bryan County Courts first, and probably later in Liberty. For the past several months the Bryan County jail has been full most of the time, and the feed bill at the jail is running more than S6OO. a month, and this has to be paid by the tax payers of Bryan County. But luckily they are being paid in a large sum of money each month by the Sheriff’s Department, which more or less offsets the additional cost and also leaves a little extra cash. Sheriff Williamson and his force of Deputies, plus the cooperation of the City Police of Pembroke, State Patrol and other nearby law officials are making the Coastal Empire an “unhealthy place” to operate in. They say the “law will sho’ get you.” Head-On Wrecks No. 1 Killer On . State Highwavs ATLANTA, (GPS) — Head on collision of cars and trucks is the leading direct cause of fatal traffic accidents in Ga. so far this year. The second lead ing cause was cars that ran off the road, with loss control of cars ranked third. These three causes accounted for well over half of Georgia's traffic death toll during the first seven months of 1969, ac cording to a State Patrol report released by Col. R. H. Burson, director of the Georgia Depart ment of Public Safety. Os the 983 traffic fatalities reported during the period, “head-on collision” accounted for 215 deaths, “ran off road” for 191, and “lost control” for 173—a total of 579 lives snuff ed out. Other leading causes and the number of victims each claimed were: : Failure to grant right-of way, 58; rear-end collisions, 47; two-car collisions, 46, and auto train collisions, 35. More than half of the people who lost their lives in these traffic mishaps were 31 years of age and younger —a total of 537. * Os these, 419 were in the 15- 31 age group. The highest of all was age 21 which recorded 46 deaths. Second highest was age 18 which registered 45 fa talities, while 20 and 22 year. olds tied for third place with 33 deaths each. Following close behind were: Age 16 with 30 deaths; age 19 with 27; ages 23 and 24 tied with 26 deaths, and 17 year olds with 25. Week-ends continued to claim the most traffic vietims. Saturdays were recorded as the worst day of the week for fatal accidents, claiming 267 lives. Sundays came second with 178, and Fridays third with 159, Tuesdays recorded 103 fatali ties: Thursdays, 99; Wednesday, 95; Mondays, 82. The most deadly hours were 5-6 p.m. and 6-7 p.m. when 87 persons were killed in each of those periods. Next came 9-10 p.m. during which 61 persons lost their lives, while 60 others died between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. The safest hour recorded was between 5-6 a.m. when only 16 persons were killed. e’ "CONSTAL GEORGIA'S LEADING WEEKLY NEWSPAPER" me M/k&k& LIKED BY MANY - CUSSED BY SOME - READ BY THEM ALL .

To be without a sense of taste is to be deficient in an exquisite faculty, that of ap preciating the qualities of food, just as a person may lack the faculty of appreciat ing the quality of a book or a work of art. It is to want a vital sense, one of the ele ments of human superiority. —Guy de Maupassant. Ro Xal-Bacon : AR % SRR R AR TR eRa S 3 N L S e R u\‘*"‘f@i\i e fhd o $ AR L B e 3k e Ty : . .

Man-Made Storm . Threatening US., Asserts Maddox ATLANTA, (GPS) — Com menting on the devastation caused by Hurricane Camille, Gov. Lester GG. Maddox told the Citizens Council of America at its recent 1969 Leadership Con-, ference in Jackson, Miss., that “there is another storm dipping into virtually every segment of our country and virtually every gsegment of American life which is visiting a more permanent damage upon our people.” “It is the storm,” he said, “which began gathering clouds in 1928 when the Communist Party of America published their platform which called for the destruction of the Ameri can way of life, And that plat form is being carried out, al most to the letter, by both the National Democrats and Re publicans. “With high pressure areas created by self-serving special interest groups and with low pressure areas created by the silent middle class Americans, a storm of hurrance intensity was brewed in this nation’s cap itol which spread out to wreck havoc with our public school system, the private free enter prise system, states’ rights, in dividual rights and the liberties ‘and freedoms of cvery living American, of every race, class and religion.” Gov. Maddox said that when Hurricane Camille hit Missis sippi, people from all over, civic groups, charitable groups, gov ernment organizations and the military were “concerned and sympathetic and pitched in to help. “But,” he declared, “millions of Americans seem totally un aware of the man-made disas ter which is sweeping away the lifetime investments of many businessmen, destroying the chances of millions of children of ever getting a decent educa tion, and mutilating the great document which so long has guaranteed freedom to al' Americans—the U. S. Constitu tion. “But, when this ‘Hurricane Police State’ has done all its Official Organ Bryan County and City of Pembroke dirty work, it will be too late, then, for volunteers to correct the wrongs and repair the dam age . .. When a nation collapses from within, the rubble smoth ers and extinguishes all which might have been able to rebuild it The Georgia governor asked his audience these questions: “Have you ever wondered how your children, growing up in our society today, will remem ber their childhood? Have you ever wondered if your children will ever have a chance to grow up to remember anything?” Then he said: “If your children survive, their daily lives. They are the real victims of this storm which is tearing silently across our nation.” v v Sportsmen Fear Loss Os Land JESUP (PRN) On September 11 the die will have been cast to decide whether 31,000 acres of unique, irreplacable hardwood swampland in Wayne, Long, and Mclntosh counties will be managed under conservation guidelines, or be lost forever to commercial interests who will deny public access to this primitive playground along the Altamaha River. Bob Hunter of Thomasville. president of the Middleton Lake Hunting Club, and a director of the Georgia Sportsman’s Federation said that a small group of conservationists, headed by attorney Hubert Howard of Jesup, has obtained an option to acquire the tract for $1.6 million (half the $3.1 million at which it was offered to commercial interests) provided they exercise the option by September 11. “Tragically,” Howard said, “it looks as if we may not have enough time to get thestory to the people of Goergia before the option expires. We don’t yet have enough partners to ~ close the deal, but we're still | qvoping." A STITCH IN TIME In 1846 Elias Howe patented the sewing machine and rev olutionized the garment trade.'
