Many articles are repetitive and lengthy in the newspaper, therefore I have only created
a synopsis of said articles by extracting all names and important information.
Please see the original newspaper for the complete article.
Said synopsized articles will have [synopsis--Amy Hedrick] after them.

Also, legal matters were repeated for 30+ days.  I only transcribed the first instance of the article in many cases, as it was an exact reporting in each paper, and needlessly repetitive here.

Not every article of interest has been transcribed.  Many that named people, are articles of interest that occurred in other towns far removed from Brantley & Wayne County.  While I tried to include most, several have been omitted.

WAYNE COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS--The Jesup and Wayne County Schools are now combined into one system, and officials in charge hope to bring our schools both town and rural, up to a high standard.  With the proper co-operation of all concerned our schools should soon compare favorable with any in the state.
        Col. Jos. H. Thomas has just been appointed a member of the County Board of Education to succeed Hon. W.M. Robertson, now a citizen of Brantley County.  Col. Thomas has been a member of the Jesup Board of Education for a number of years.  He is a strong supporter of public education and will make a constructive worker on the County Board.
        It is the desire and purpose of the County Board to enforce the compulsory attendance law.  Teachers are required to report promptly to the County Superintendent children between 8 and 14 years of age who are absent from school without sufficient excuse.  Trustees and patrons can also render valuable assistance in the enforcement of this law by reporting to the superintendent any parents who are keeping their children out of school.
        The teachers of the county held their monthly conference at the school auditorium in Jesup last Saturday.  There were only twelve absentees out of a total of teachers at work in the county of seventy-three, and most of these rendered satisfactory reasons for their absence.
        The main subject discussed was the holding of County Commencement and School Fair during March and April.  It was unanimously decided to attempt same, and the following committee was appointed to work out plans and arrange a program:  Prof. H.S. Burdette, Mr. W.T. Clary, County Agricultural Agent, Mr. M.A. Hatton, Miss Wyoline Hanson, Mrs. F.R. Newton and Miss Zella Raybon.
        Health education the compulsory attendance law, and an educational program for the county were other matters that came up for discussion.
        The next conference will be held in Jesup on Saturday after the first Tuesday in February.  The committee on School Fair will also arrange a program for the next conference.

FOR SALE--100 acres fine farm land, 15 acres fenced and under cultivation.  4-room house and outbuildings on place.  Located 4 miles southeast of the town of Hickox, near Satilla river.  This is all high land, rendering drainage unnecessary.  Bargain for cash.  J.P. Johns, Route 1, Winokur, Ga.

        This church, being in the Atkinson Charge, will have as its pastor Rev. Snyder, who will preach every third Sunday.

YANKEE REUNION--About 65 people gathered at the home of Mr. E.H. Bulson on Christmas for their annual reunion.  The day was pleasantly spent in outdoor games by the men, while the ladies were busy with the preparation of a sumptuous dinner and supper.
        In the evening the assemblage gathered in the parlor, where music on a concertina and dulcimer given by Mr. Gowdy was greatly enjoyed by all, and it was late before the goodbyes were said.
        Mr. and Mrs. Harry Derr invited the reunion to meet with them next year at their pretty new home, into which they recently moved.
        Mr. W.M. Roberson, who has previously met with them, was absent on account of company at home.  Regrets were expressed.

GEORGIA WOMAN THREATENED WITH CUBAN JAIL--Miss Christine Garnett, a gifted Georgia woman of Sylvania, recently had a novel experience in Cuba, where she is missionary of the Baptist home mission board of Atlanta, Georgia, in charge of a flourishing school at Santa Clara.
        It seems that there is a law in Cuba, that no teacher is allowed to strike a child.  Also the word of the child "goes" rather than the word of the teacher.  If the teacher should happen to be a foreigner, this scheme affords great opportunity for prejudiced people to "get even" with the teacher--then some.
        The story is too long to detail about how Miss Garnett came to be accused of striking a child in her school, but that need not make any difference in the effect in the court.  Even in the United States an impressive and well-staged lie sometimes serves as well as the truth, better than truth which is unvarnished and poorly-staged.  At any rate, the trial came on with a packed court room.  There was the mother and the little tot who was alleged to have been struck by Miss Garnett.  There was a variegated bunch of witnesses to this, that and the other.  None of them, however were witness that they actually saw the teacher strike the child.
        It looked rather gloomy for Miss Garnett, but that lady did not feel gloomy.  She is essentially an artist and she sensed a great value to her mission work that would come from a jail sentence.  It would be fine advertising both among the Cubans and to novelty-loving Americans.  It would put her work on the map in a great way.
        But Miss Garnett did not have the privilege of going to jail.  It happened that she had for several years been teaching English to a certain Cuban man an ex-judge.  This little man was present at the trial.  The more they tried to weave a net around the Home Board Missionary, the more his gorge rose.
        At last the ex-judge arose and began to emit earnest and effective oratory.  He portrayed to those people what it meant in love and unselfish service, that a woman like Miss Garnett should leave her home of comfort and refinement in the States to come there to teach them and lift them up.  With scathing invective he exposed the pitiful farce of the trial, which the presiding judge was conducting with an owl like "front" of dignity and apparent anxiety to get the truth.
        When the little man got through, that Judge had had enough.  He dismissed the case and that mass of people drawn just as they often are in our states by vulgar curiosity, silently filed out of the court room.
        Miss Garnett went back to her school with great increased public favor, and with even an added devotion from her body of scholars, who already loved her devotedly.

ANOTHER PARTY VISITS NAHUNTA--Mr. L.S. Robb, the hustling manager of the Wayne Development Co., is now in town with a party of Northerners.  Mr. Robb has secured and sold to reliable parties many valuable tracts of farm land near Nahunta, and it is hoped that he will succeed in causing more to buy and locate here.  The ideal climate, fertile soil and long growing season can not fail to be attractive to those who have been accustomed to short seasons and intense cold.

FIRST LADY OF THE TOWN--The first lady of Jesup under the new Woman's Suffrage law to be nominated for office was Mrs. R.C. Smith.
        In the election for a board of trustees for the Jesup School District which was held yesterday Mrs. R.C Smith tied Mr. A.E. Knight for the fifth place on the board, and as Mr. Knight has resigned in her favor this practically places her on the board thereby giving her the honor of being the first lady to be elected in an election held in Jesup.
        Mrs. Smith has taught school in the Jesup High School for 9 years, is well qualified to serve on this board in case the Board ratifies her election.

NEWS NOTES OF COUNTY SCHOOLS--B.D. Purcell, Secty.--For many years Jesup as a local independent system has required a monthly incidental fee of 25 cents per pupil to pay for janitors service, fuel and other incidentals.  When the school merged into the county system on January 1 the county Board decided it would be necessary to continue requiring these fees.  This is not a tuition fee as some seem to think.  Tuition is absolutely free.  Not one penny of this incidental fee goes for teachers salaries.  It is used solely for paying janitors, buying wood, etc.  While no incidental fees are required in other county schools, they do not have paid janitor service and but few of them have to pay for fuel.  Neither will their term of school be as long as the people of Jesup expect.  Perhaps many of the Jesup patrons do not know that their school taxes will also be lighter under the local system.  While the rate will probably be the same, it will be based on the county digest instead of the city digest.  It is a well known fact that property is accepted at a much lower valuation for county taxes than for town taxes.  With the above explanation we are sure that no reasonable person can object to the small fee required.
        The fees required are as follows:  25 cents a month per pupil for all children of school age living within the boundaries of the Jesup consolidated school district and for high school pupils of school age coming from other districts of the county, --one dollar for spring term and 80 cents for fall term if full amount is paid in advance.  Non-residents and not in school age:  grammar grades, one dollar a month; high school two dollars a month.

The O'Quinn consolidated school district will call another election immediately to re-vote bonds for a new school building.  The trustees and patrons of this progressive community are determined to be the first in the county to build by issuing bonds.  When the election was held before, not a vote was cast against bonds.  The attorneys for the bond brokers picked a flaw in the manner of calling the election and the bonds could not be sold, hence the necessity of holding the election over.  The amount to be voted on is $6000 or 7 per cent bonds, and a bond company of Atlanta has agreed to take these bonds at par when re-voted.  With labor and material going down, O'Quinn district should be able to build a good four-room building with this amount.

FIRST MEETING OF BD. OF EDUCATION--B.D. Purcell--Upon invitation the write met with the Brantley County Board of Education and Superintendent at Hoboken last Saturday to assist them in making a program for the present year's work.  The Board consists of the following gentlemen:  J.H. Mattox, W.T. Strickland, Talmadge Middleton, Walter Thomas and M.E. Dowling.  All are progressive men who believe in good schools and Brantley County would do well to keep them in service for the schools.  Mr. Everett Knox is County Superintendent.  He has been a successful teacher for several years and he enters his new job well equipped for the duties and responsibilities of the office.
        Space will not permit giving all of the proceedings of the Board at their first meeting but the most important action taken was in deciding to open the schools of the County at once.  The term will be six months this spring and four months fall term beginning about the first of September.

JESUP WINS FIRST BASKETBALL GAME ON LOCAL COURT--Defeats Ludowici Twenty-Five to Seven--The local fans had a chance to see what the Jesup High School basketball team could do in a real game with another school last Friday afternoon, when they met Ludowici on the local court.  Both teams "stayed in the game" from the start to finish, and aside from a little roughness it was a good game.  The first half was close and exciting, ending with the score of 5 and 6 in favor of Jesup.  But at the beginning of the second half it was evident that the Ludowici boys had lost their "wind" and the local boys began to cage the ball almost at will.
        It is impossible to put the details of a game on paper.  To really enjoy a game is to be on the side line and see it from start to finish.  We expect to have several good games on the local court before the season is over, including games with Baxley, Hazlehurst, Waycross and Piedmont.
        The score:
        Jesup:  Harper (4) lf.            Ludowici:  Smiley, R.
        Bennett (15) rf.                    Chapman (7)
        Bryant(6) c.                         Theus

        Scott rg.                                Dawson

NEW CHURCH NEAR COMPLETED--Construction on the Methodist Church, which was started about two years ago and on account of high prices of labor and material came to a standstill, is greatly changed in appearance by the activities of 20 men, who donated one week's labor.

        The church is covered with imitation stucco, and when the doors and windows are placed will be an attractive building.

NEW OVERSEER COMMENCE JOB--Mr. C.B. Davidson, who has a beautiful farm home about 3 miles west of Nahunta, has been greatly annoyed by a branch near his home, which at times was too full to cross on foot bridge, and at times almost impassable on account of it's boggy condition.  As he was never able to go over dryshod, he decided to grade and put in a bridge.  Deep ditches were cut on each side, and the approaches were made from the excavations.
        The bridge is built from plank and is about twelve feet long.  With the necessary grading the work will be commendable.
        As Mr. Davidson is one of the new road overseers, it is hoped that others places [sic] will be given similar treatment in the near future.

WOMEN ATTORNEYS TO DEFEND MAN--Macon--For the first time in the history of Bibb county women lawyers will defend a man charged with murder, when Mrs. Viola Napier, the widow of Hendley V. Napier, one of Macon's leading attorneys, and Miss Aline Hardin, cousin of Judge C.L. Bartlett, will be associated with the defense of former city detective, W.C. Swift, who with four other former city detectives, is charged with murdering, in April 1919, Abram Kimbrell and Philip Lamar.  It is generally believed that it will be the first time in the history of the state of Georgia that women lawyers have participated in trials where the death penalty is applicable.  Other lawyers in the case are W.A. McClellan, leading counsel for the defense, who was associated with Attorney John R. Cooper, T.A. Jacobs and Walter Fefore.  Swift's first trial resulted in a conviction and a life imprisonment sentence, which was set aside by Judge H.A. Mathews, who granted a new trial, and later released Swift under a $10,000 bond.

NEWS NOTES--From the Jesup Sentinel

        The Board is finding it difficult to finance the schools under the present financial conditions, and it has been decided to request them to close the latter part of March or one month earlier than the contract specifies.  Another reason for requesting this is that April is always a very busy month on the farms and the attendance is usually quite unsatisfactory during this month.  If this is done, it is hoped that the Board can open all the rural schools uniformly the first of October next term.
        Parents and guardians should remember that all children between 8 and 14 are required to stay in school regularly and continuously for six months each year.  Teachers are allowed to excuse temporarily on account of sickness, bad weather, or other reasonable cause.  When children are absent satisfactory reasons must be given the teacher or parents will be held responsible.  At the close of the school term all teachers will be required to report to the superintendent all absences of pupils and parents will be held strickly [sic] accountable for all unexcused absences and action will be taken against such parents.  Many people still regard the compulsory attendance law as a joke, but if there are a number of prosecutions and convictions after the spring term closes it will not be much of a joke.

JESUP VISITED BY FOUR FIRES--From the Jesup Sentinel

        The volunteer fire fighters of Jesup have been called upon in the past two weeks to respond to four different fires.  The first call was to the residence occupied by Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Cole, when their kitchen caught on the roof on last Saturday a week ago, very little damage was done.  The second call was on Saturday night a week ago when the un-occupied dwelling of Mrs. G.B. Whaley in the extreme eastern section of the city was completely destroyed.  The third call was to the Wayne Hotel Sunday night about 1:30 o'clock.  The main building of the hotel was completely burned, resulting in heavy loss to the owner, Mrs. A.W. Stripling and to the occupant, Mr. J.M. Sapp.  Both had insurance which will partially cover the loss.  The fourth call was Monday night when the merchandise business of Mr. Burwell was discovered on fire about 1:30 o'clock.  The building together with the entire stock of goods and shoe repair department was completely consumed by the flames.  The origin of these last fires has baffled the oldest fire fighters of our city.
