ARMED MADMAN RUNS AMUCK
.
At Brunswick, Ga,?Kills 5 and
Wounds 32 Belore He Is Slain.
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.
