Brunswick, Ga, March 6:?Armed with an automatic shotgun, Monroe Phillips, a real estate and timber dealer, ran amuck in the business district here today, killed five citizens, wounded 32 and was himself shot dead. Of the wounded I Gunner Tolnas, a bank collector, and Ernest McDonald probably will die. The dead are: H F Dunwoody, a prominent attorney; W M Hackett, an undertaker; Rex Beavers, a policeman, and W P Padgett, a former policeman. Several of the wounded are prominent citizens of Brunswick. The police believe that Phillip^ became suddenly insane because of financial troubles. It was at the busiest hour or the day that Phillips, carrying a shotgun, entered the office of Harry F Dunwoody, a lawyer, against whom he is said to have cherished ill feeling, and killed him. Fhillips then shot Albert M Way, who was in Dunwoody's office. Although badly wounded,Way probably will recover. Walking calmly from the office, Phillips faced a crowd which had been attracted by the firing. Without a word Phillips suddenly began shooting into the throng and a wild stampede for shelter followed. R M Beavers, a policeman, was killed when he attempted to arrest the crazed man. Phillips continued to fire on everybody in sight until he was shot down by E C Butts, an at| torney, more than half an hour after Dunwoodv had been killed.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS We need social centers where our young people can be entertained, amused and instructed under the direction of cultured, clean find competent leadership, where aesthetic surroundings stir the love for the beaiitiful, where art charges the atmosphere with inspiration and power, and innocent amusements instruct and brighten their lives. To hold our young people on the farm we must make farm life more attractive as well as the business of farming more remunerative. The school house should be the social unit, properly equipped for nourishing and building character, so that the lives of our people can properly function around it and become supplied with the necessarv elements of human thought and activity. Education is a developing of the mind, not a 'stuffing of the memory. Digest, what you read. Arrival of Passenger Trains at Klngstree.
