They were carried to Mitchell county, the prison commission granting their request that they be sent there. It was for the killing of Henry T.

Twice they faced a jury for the same offense. The first ver dict was for manslaughter and the second was for murder with a recom mendation. Their attorneys, although turned down by the highest court in the State have not given up the long and tireless fight they have made for them. Already they are at work on plans for securing a pardon and the matter will be carried before the governor at an early date! IS NOT DROPPED ‘JOCKEYING” I N PREVIOUS SESSION APPARENTLY RESUMED.

Washington, Dec. 30.—The “jock-1 eying” with the soldiers’ bonus, which featured the closing days of the pre ceding session, has apparently been resumed. As in those days which im mediately preceded the Section, the Republicans displayed the greatest in terest in the soldiers, but did not transform that interest into action, in the present, they are “getting busy” with the outloAk dismal for the com pletion of the work. The strategy of the Republicans seem to be to force the Democratic administration to prove the impracti cability of a soldiers’ bonus and to assume a position against it. * The Secretary of the Treasury, David F. 'Houston, has not only presented the proof, but has declared his unalterable opposition. It is his contention that the granting of a bonus would entail a burden of $2,300,000,000 on the al ready distressed tax payers pf the country, and it is probable that the aforesaid tax payers will proceed to protest. The argument of the soldiers has been that whereas Government clerks discharged very necessary duties dur ing the war, and were entitled to a bonus of $240, their duties were not more necessary than the soldiers,' and infinitely less dangerous; and that in consequence, the soldiers should be re warded as the clerks were rewarded. In this connection, the clerks, with | the prospect of the soldiers very gloomy indeed, are going about, with | the assistance of the American Fed- 1 eration of Labor, in a campaign to i I make the bonus of $240 permanent. | The clerks, today, through their exec-1 j utive officers, declare in a formal I statement, that their campaign will; l be successful, and that for their con- j fidence they have the words of “the I leaders of Congress. • | The Lehlbaeh bill, which pends, ' would do away with the clerks' bonus ■ by making it a permanent addition to their salaries. The opposition con- j tends that with the increased salaries, ! the clerks very soon would demand a j bonus. However this may be, the ! indications are that the clerks will | succeed, yrF the soldiers will fail. McRae, Ga., Dec. 30.—As the result of a quarrell on Christmas Day, Ern est Dowdy, son of Z. W. Dowdy, was shot and instantly killed by Dan Walker, when they met this morning a short distance from this place. The two young men engaged in a gun duel, which lasted for several minutes. Walker fired six times, three of the bullets taking effect, and Dowdy fired three times, but Walker escaped injury. There was two eye-witnesses to the shooting, but little detail can be se cured. Walker and the dead boy re sided in what is known as the Tem perance District of this county and their friends have nothing to say as what led up to the duel this morning. Excitement Prevails in McRae. The shooting aided to spur up the excitement in this section, which has been prevailing since the shooting of three men,’ Williams, Walker and Johnson, a short distance from Mc Rae a few nights ago by Sam Peddus, a farmer. It is alleged that the trio attacked Peddus at his home and in the gun fight that followed he proved to be th better marksman and the three men are suffering from painful wounds. Walker and Johnson were released from jail this morning on bail, while Williams is still being held, unable to make bail. His wounded hand is causing him considerable pain. It is alleged that the trio attacked Peddus, who is a well-known and prosperous farmer in this section be cause he took a prominent part in the arrest of persons in McRae for the violation of the prohibition law.
