SHOT IN THE BACK.
William Thomas Killed by William
mcRae South of the City.


McRae South Of the City.
William Thomas was shot and killed
by William McRae yesterday morning at
small negro settlement east Of the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway,
near the Electric railway bridge.
A woman. or two women, was the cause
Of the killing Thomas had been living
with negro woman by the name Of Lila
Smith. They had quarrel few days
ago and the woman left him and went 10
the house of a friend near by named
Mary Green. Willie McRae was at the
Green woman's house when Thomas went
there, about midnight, and demanded ad-
mittauce. He attempted to force his way
into the house, according to the testimony
Of the women, and going to a window
pried the shutter open with his knife.
The testimony of the women was
rather confusing on that point. One of
them said that when Thomas opened the
window McRae came TO it to keep him
from coming in and that Thomas tried to
cut McRae with his knife, but when he
saw that McRae had pistol turned and
ran off, McRae firing several shots after
him. The other woman said that Thomas
climbed in the window and that he and
McRae began fighting in the house, and
that Thomas then ran, pursued by Nc
Rae. This is the more prOba ole story, as
the dead man was found in some bushes
over 100 yards away from the house with
a bullet in his back just over the hip.
The opinion of parties who heard the
evidence in the police court is that Thomas
got into a quarrel with McRae and the
two women inside the house and was run
out, McRae pursuing him. There were
three shots fired and the man was pur-
sued some distance, showing the deadly
intent of his pursuer. Both men were
said to be desperate characters, and the
women are of a low class. One woman
testified that after Thomas fell he cried
out to the woman, Mary Green, to come
to him. and that she replied, mo, -
- you, l had you killed, and ] am not
| coming to youn
McRae did not go back to the house af-
| ter the shooting. He had been employed
on gravel train on the Savannah, Flor
| ida and Western railway, and is thought
| TO have left town by that road. 1t is be
| lieved that there were other parties con
Cerned in the affair besides McRae and
| the two women, and other arrests may
| follow. When the women found that
lnOuldS was ueau theN SLarIeu lnJO JAt
| city TO report the affair They met on
Ger farrell on Anderson street and told
him their story of the killing Theofficer
placed both women under arrest and sent
| them in TO the police barracks.
Recorder Wilson examined the two
women in the police court yesterday
morning and ordered them held until the
crime could be Investigated further
They were afterward turned over TO the
coroner, who sent them to Jail after the
inquest as accessories TO the killing. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict of muir
der against McRae.

POLITICIAN LIBERTY.
A Lively Race for the Senatorship Be-
tween Norman and Sheppard.

tween Norman and Shepparo-
Politics is at fever heat this week in
Liberty county over the senatorial race
from the second district, composed Of
Mcintosh, Tattnall and Liberty counties.
For some time the names Of Col. f. p.
Miller, Walter W. S. Sheppard, Capt. P.
B. Smith and J. L. Martin have been
mentioned in connection with the race,
but through friends Of Col Miller,
who were working very earnestly
in his behalf, all his opponents were with
drawn from the field aud the executive
committee last week went so far as 10 in
dOrse him unanimously.
A few days afterward Col Miller, in
the Liberty County Herald, stated that
for personal reasons he would not make
the race. The same day letters were re-
ceived by different parties over the
county from n. j. Norman, who
seemed to be managing Col. Miller's
campaign, stating that Col Miller had de-
clined TO make the race, and that he was
an aspirant for the honor. This was a
mystery to some of MIR. Sheppard s
friends, as he was withdrawn from the
race in favor Of Col. Miller. Mr.. Shep-
pard was at once telegraph by Mr.. A.
Gordon Cassels asking II he would al
low his name used, and he replied
that if his friends wished him
TO make the race he would allow the use
of his name, and would appreciate the
honor. After consulting with his friends
at Hinesville Saturday, Mr.. Sheppard
was re-entered in the race.
Although Mr.. Norman has a few days
the start Of Mr.. Sheppard, yet his friends
think he will be the winner. He is a
young man of unblemished char
acter, and stands high In the
county. Mr.. Norman likewise is
popular and is conducting his canvass him
self. MIR. Sheppard is being pushed by
his friends, as he is in Washington as
private secretary to Col. Lester.
Mr.. Cassels, who returned to the city
from Liberty county, where he has been
In the interest of Mr. Sheppard's can
didacy, went back last night.
To-day will be a big day at Hinesville,
as the two cavalry companies, together
with the confederate veterans, will cele-
brate the Fourth of July. A tilt will
take place in the afternoon between the
two commands, but 1t will be safe TO say
that politics will be the feature. The
primary will be held Friday.

TO SECURE GLASS FACTORIES.


A New Movement Started by Strikers and
Business Mon.
The striking flint glass workers and
some South Side business men, says
tho Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph,
propose to erect or purchase tableware
glass plants in opposition to the United
States Glass Company. A capital stock
Of from 100000 to $25O,0OO is being
subscribed, and cooperative factories
are to be built. 1t is said that of the
amount $4,000 will be taken from the
treasury OF the American Flint Glass
Workers Union. The workers have
been dickering for several sitep, and the
Mckee plant, on she South Side, is one
ofthem. The South Side merchants are
said to be moving actively in the mat
ter, for the reason that since the strike
began, fourteen months ago, they have
been losing over $4,000 per week in
wages which were formerly spent at the
stores.
Since the strike the American Flint
Glass Workers Union has lent about
$4,000 to cooperative plants at Taren.
tum and Sandwich, Mass. The South
Side workers have been striving to Sc
cure plants 10 manufacture glass on the
cooperative plan ever since the big
strike began.
