GORDON WAIVES A
PRELIMINARY HEARING.
Ilincsvillo, Oa., April 80.—
Short ly after Judge S. B. Brew
ton rapped for order yesterday,
and as the preliminaries were be
ing laid out for the hearing in the
cane of Charles A.(Jordon, charged
with the murder of W. \V. Fann
ing, Jr.,Mr. B. A. Way,represent
ing (}ord<>n, all non need that his
client would waive the hearing
and await the action of the grand
jury.
Mr. Way explained that the
scope of a preliminary heating
was so wide that lie had de
termined on the course he an
nounced after consultation with
his client.
Judge Brewton on this an
nouncement ordered Shorifl Staf
ford to return the prisoner to
jail and this was done.
The case drew a great cowd to
the town, it being the one topic
of conversation in this county. It
is reported that'Gordon has mude
a confession to his hall-brother, j
Walter Gordon, who is a flagman j
on the Coast. Line, and that he
told the accused man that under
oath lie will he compelled to ted 1
the truth. This report could not
he verified here as all the parties
interested refuse to discuss it.
The case cannot he tried Indore
September unless a special term
of the court- is called. A petition
asking that. Judge Seabrook call,
an extra term of the court is lie-j
ing circulated and it may be that j
he will accede to the wishes of the
people on account of the crowded |
condition of the jail at this. time.!

campaigning on behalf of both
the opponents and those who fa-j

the real battleground of the pro-j

PORTRAIT OF DAVIS
MAKES SECTIONAL STRIFE.
Washington, April ftO.w-Repre
| jitative Hollingsworth, of Ohio,
has prepared a resolution calling
on the secretary of the navy Tor
| information relative to the report
that the Htute of Mississippi i*
preparing to present to the battle
ship Mississippi an ulaborate sil
ver service, whose centerpiece
bears an engraved portrait of Jef
ferson Davis.
Mr. Hollingsworth was dissuad
ed from presenting the resolution
'today. The preamble declares;
that * ‘the dignity and character
;of the United States government!
iand its creditable standing at
borne and abroad rerpiire that its
battleships should be in command
ofodicers iin lined with high Ameri
can ideals, healthy loyalty and a j
just pride in the history and in-j
st it utions of the government they
serve.”
The resolution asks “by whom
land on wlmt authority such gift!
is to be accepted and what les
son of loyalty or patriotism such;
portrait engraving is intended to j
teach, and with what ideals of
government it is expected thereby,
to inspire the ollicers and men
now and hereafter to be in control !
of such battleships?”
The secretary is asked “espec
ially to ascertain and inform the I
congress whether or not the pro-j
posed gift of a silver service thus!
decorated and such use of it are j
agreeable or desirable by the of- ;
licers nmv m command of then
M is.s issippi.”
In an interview, Mr. Hollings- j
worth said his resolution followed :<
the 1 ine, although in contrary di- j!
recti on, of the one introduced by j j
Senator Money, of Mississippi, |
March in which Mr. Money {
sought to revive war memories by ]
requiring the attorney general to) I
file in the supreme court proceed- | J
ing to question the validity of the||
fourteenth amendment of the con f
stit 11 1 ion of the United States. $
BAYS AND SWAMPS STILL
DRY IN LOWNDES COUNTY, j
Valdosta, Ga., April 550. —It i
ha rt iy seems possible that the \
bays, swamps and wells of this I
section are still dry, but that is |
the fact. There have been good ; f
seasons for the farmers, but the (
£!
land has not gained back the mo is-; f
tun w hich it lost during the long ! |
drouth ufseveral months ago.
The bays are nearly all dry as J
chips. TIIO lakes that ran off dur- l
ing the drouth are still dry and l
water Ims to be hauled from 3
springs for clothes washing in -
man vof the rural districts. Manv ! ,
wflls vere dug deeper some tilde |
ago, hut even that did not do i
much good in many places. |
Tin* mill men and naval store f
men found much diflieulty in get- I
ting water tor their engines and i
stock, and, though there has }
been plenty of rain lately, there }
has not been enough to lill lip ua- ?
Ituro'ss reservoirs and make the ?
I people feel independent on that i
! line again. i J
If enough ruin wen*to come now c
to till up tin* wells and Imams it «
would ruin ihe crops, and tin* |
I farmers great ly fear that nature ?
will r -store her equilibrium bv ?
too nun'll water before the crops i
are gotten out of tlie way.
