ATHENS
James Scott Shot and Killed Henry An
 derson.

Athens, June 22.-(Special.)-J Scott shot and killed Henry Anderson near Greenbrier, this county, a day or so ago.
 Scott and Anderson were farming to- gether, and Anderson has been playing off on Scott for some time, not doing his part of the work. At last Scott became dis gusted and going to Anderson's home on Monday, he ordered his son to accompany him to the field to assist in his father s place. Anderson, returning home full of mean whisky, took offense at the liberty of his partner in trade, and went to the field and sought difficulty with Scott, and finally assaulted Scott with a knife. Scott found that he must protect himself, and, drawing his revolver, fired once, striking Anderson in the arm. This not stopping him, he fired again, striking him in the bowels, from which death resulted in a short time. Scott has been released by the local magistrate, finding the killing justifable.
 MT. William Richardson of Harris, this county, returned this morning from Mont7 gomery, Ala, where he went to get his brother, Josh Richardson, who was stricken with paralysis last Sunday He is totally paralyzed, not being able to move a mem1 Der of his body, save his tongue, which is not injured.
 Mrs. Tommie Tisdale, wife of MT. David Dawson, one of the managers of the Dal- las mills at Huntsville, died at the home of her mother, six miles west of Athens, last night, after an illness lasting several months with consumption.

of Sehley began. It Is lucky for the navy that its personnel bill got through when 1t did, for it would never have passed con- gress with the stigma attaching to the heads of the navy as stamped upon them now.
 The whole thing has dwindled into the cheapest sort of an opera bauffe with Crowninshield as the pirate king, and who, as the women of the navy say, is man. aged from the pantry and the kitchen. But whether his animosity to Sehley dates from some womans quarrels at Annapolis or from the fact that he felt ehagrinned because Schley was chosen to go in search of Greedy and not he matters little. The cause Is petty and beneath an officer and a gentleman. That he should have dragged in the name of unoffending young officers and besmirched their character in order to bolster up failing argument Is beyond the realms of forgiveness. Even men In the navy who have stood Loyalty to Sampson in the past have now become revolted at the tactics of the bureau of navigation. There is nothing that it has not attempted to smirch Schley.
 The Greedy Incident
 Among other things some of the Samp- son set and the chief of navigation have made an effort to get poor old General Greedy to give out some expression de- rogatory 9f .schley while reseuing him
 
 The only answer General Greedy makes to these enemies of Schley is to refer them to his letter, written as soon as he was able to write, stating that he and his en- tire party must have perished had it not been for the nerve and physical endurance of Schey. There Is something pittful in seeing such men as Crowninshield and Sampson, neither of whom have ever done any distinguished service for their coun- try, utilizing an entire branch of the gov ernment to destroy the character of man whose only fault was being accidentally left in command of a fleet while the real Acommander went steamng away on the bridge of one of the two fastest ships or the navy. The very front of his offend ing was being at the front. His record was made for bravery in action and under ire before either Sampson or Crowninshield were commissioned to serve.
 The republicans are beginning to ask what is going to be the effect of the navy depart ments disparagement of a popular hero. Over in Maryland the people are so indig- nant that the name of Mckinley is even mentioned with eXecration. Senator Me Commas says that the state is lost to the republicans almost forever through the of ficial persecution of their gallant son. One after another the men who tried to bol- ster up Gates, and at the expense of Wash ington, went down in after life before an unforgiving public. The men who have caused this scandal in the pet branch of the government service or who in any way give it their indorsement will hear from it as time rolls around The administration is beset with two scandals unequaled in almost any administration-the Carter case and the Schley persecution. From the venom and ignorance shown by high off, cers of the government one would na- turally think that Carter was innocent and

PERSECUTION OF
 ADMIRAL SCHLEY Trying by Every Means Crafty and Subtle to Put Credit OF VICTORY ON SAMPSON Ignores schley's Position and Perjures Under Officers to Support New
 York Newspapers Fake-En-
 tire Navy is Upset.
OF VICTORY ON SAMPSON

Washington, June 22.-(Special)-Th ghost of the Sampson-Schley controversy is still stalking about disturbing the peace. With venom unequaled in American his- tory, and not even surpassed by the official cabal of the Continental congress to stig- matise the character of Washington and supplant him by the infamous Gates, the navy department has used all It's powerful influence to detect a minor officer in lie in order to bolster up a palpable fake of a New York newspaper.
 Just as the war board in the times of the revolution attempted by every means sub tie, crafty and despicable to hlch the credit of victories of the northern army un- der Scuyler, Arnold and others, and be- stow them on Gates, the favorite, so has the navy department through it's strategic board and Admiral Crowninshield made use of every comma and every period in every report, every piece of gossip in the mess room and every discussion of ensigns and galley boys to rob Admiral Schey of the credit of the victory off Santiago and be- stow it on Sampson.
 It Is doubtful how the people away from this center of political bureau of intrigue will view the last chapter in the contro- versy. But even here the people have be- come disgusted almost to nausea at the sickly effort the bureau is making to shift the issue at question and try to undermine the character of Schley by finding fault in petty details of his defenders.
 Hodgson Spit it Out
 One officer, Lieutenant Commander Hodg son had the temerity to come out in de- fense of Admiral Schley and to deny that such a colloguy between Admiral Schley, and Lieutenant Commander Hodgson, as reported in the New York Sun, ever took

MAJOR MASON ' IS IN TROUBLE A Trunk Keeps Him in Wash-
 ington. 1T HAS BEEN ATTACHED On Account of the Non-Payment of Note for $75-He Claims the
 Trunk Belongs to
 Friend.
IT HAS BEEN ATTACHED

Washington, June 22.-(Special.)-M A. A. Mabson, the prominent republican politician in Alabama, who has been here in quest of place in the census office and who had intended leaving for home last night, was summarily prevented by the attachment of his, or his friends trunk.
 The attachment was the result of a suit brought by Major Erastus Hawks on note of hand for $75 given last March in payment for horse. Mabson and Hawks were majors in the Tenth Immune regi- ment during the war with Spain. They were recently mustered out, and Major Mabson has been staying at 519 Thirteenth street, northwest.
 When Major Mabson agreed in March to purchase the horse from Hawks, Mabsons $ note of hand was to be settled, it is said, when the regimental paymaster reached the Tenth Immunes. owing to the action of the United States government in ap- propriatng the pay due Major Mabson on account of judgments rendered against that officer some time before his appoint ment as major and while he held another government position in Alabama, he did not. participate in the distribution of sal aries when the paymaster arrived.
 Major Mabson denies that the trunk is his, but claims that it belongs to a friend names James Colvin. Covin swears the trunk is his also, while Major Hawks testi- ies that it Is the same trunk which Nab son had throughout the war. The matter will be taken into court tomorrow and the ownership of the trunk settled.

place. He no sooner gave his denial of the story of the admiral than the bureau of navigation set to work to prove him iiar The officer, while still denying that the reported conversation was correct, was broW-beaten and buldozed until he con- fessed to F. D. Chadwick, the captain of the New York under Sampson that some- thing like the alleged colloguy did take place. The navy department, after givin(g out the intimation that the young neuten- ant commander is a liar, further smirenes 1l', one of its own witnesses, Lieutenant Hill nier by showing that he acted as a tell tale and repeated to Paul Dana private conversations he had with MT. Hodgson at mess Thus does the cabal against Schiey' just as the one against Washington, begin to reveal itself. The methods of the bureau are becoming known, and it only remains to discover the motive to head upon Crownih> shield the contumely he and his set of con- spirators deserve.
 Lost Sight of Everything
 The bureau has been driven rom the broad question of whether or not Schley was in command of the fleet at Santiago. It has lost sight of the question asked so often by the people whether or not Sampson not heinz present, could be given credit for the victory It has dropped the question as to whether or not the Brooklyn was hit twenty-four times It has lost sight of the selfish conceit of Sampson, the fact that he cOnSrdtulaleQ pCHley Oiio uoy oAAe on the following sent a secret letter to Long stabbing him in the back: 1t has ceased to discuss the failure of Sampson to put in his official report the letter to Ad- miral Schley telling the latter to remain at Cienfuegos; it refuses to consider Samp- sons confessed error now of detaching the New York from the fleet to go twelve miles to have a pow-wow with General Shalter; 1t does not pretend any longer to explain away Sampson's signal to the fleet as he left to pay no attention to movements Of the fiagship;" it still refuses to remember that Schley was in the fight at all and that his victory there was but the last link in an endless chain of well-fought victor- ies beginning with the confederate war and extending through his rescue of Cree ly: the bureau of navigation forgets everything to the credit of Schley, and has belittled the controversy to observations and denials of minor officers and to the investigation of the tittle-tattle Of cooks and jackeys.
