in the Confederate Seryice-Sub-
scription to Defray Expenses of
Those Unable to Pay.
Atlanta. April 29.-The Manned Veter-
ans, Battalion a Confederate veterans
ors.anization, is being formed in this state
for The purpose OF attending the reunion
IF the United Confederate Veterans at
Louisville
one of the qualifications for member
ship is that the applicant for enlistment
must have lost either an arm, leg, a
hand or an eye in the Confederate ser
vice. The battalion will be composed of
1O5 veterans, and all expenses will be
defrayed by a fund which is now being
raised by public subscription.
The members of the battalion will each
carry one of the old Springfield rifles
rsed by the privates in the Southern
amy during active hostilitiee. They will
also be uniformed according to the reg
Nations governing the dress of the Con-
federate soldier.
The battalion will be under the COM
uand of Mai. w. P. DearinEs of this city,
who was assistant adjutarIt general of
SfovalPs brigade during the Civil War
and who led the famous charge on the
Federal troops at the battle of Atlanta.
He with the assistance of Brig. Gen. A.
I West of Atlanta, commander of the
North Georgia brigade, to which the
manned battalion will be attached, are re
cruiting the members of the unique or
ganization.
Many of the most prominent men of the
state will go as privates in the command.
Among them will probably be Gov. Allen
D. Gambler, who lost an eye, Controller
General Wright of Georgia, Judge Will
liam T. Newman of the United States
District Court, Richard Hobbs, president
Of the Bank of Albany, DR.. ]. S. Todd
of Atlanta and many others.
Many members of the organization will
be disabled veterans who are too poor to
bear their own expenses, and these will
be betrayed out of the public fund now
being raised, principally through the eff
forts of the Daughters of the Confeder-
acy.
The presence of the battalion in the
grand parade of the veterans during the
reunion promises to be one of the most
pathetically unique of all the features of
the big celebration.
The battalion will go from Atlanta in a
special train.

saddest tragedies that has happened in
this section in many. years, occurred at
Elsie, eighteen miles out on the Way
cross Air Line, yesterday afternoon about
o'clock.
Martin Miller, the 13-year-old son of D.
J. Miller of Beach, and young son of
inseparable companions. Young Miller
had been at Elsie attending school, and
formed a strong friendship for young
Bum.
Yesterday afternoon the two boys were
in a room at Mr.. Bunn's house. taking
the room Young Bum, not knowing the
weapon was loaded, pointed it at Miller
and snapped. Martin said; Lookout
you'll shoot me- The Bum boy again
snapped the hammer. The gun fired this
time and the Miller boy received a load
of buckshot in the back part of the head,
killing him instantly.
The remains were brought to Waycross
this morning, and will be buried at Kettle
Creek Cemetery Monday morning. The
boy who did the shooting is almost wild
with grief over the acciden6. His father
is a member of the firm of J. R. & T.

THE ALASKAN CIVIL BILL.
Senate VIII Consider That and the
Clark Case This Week.

Washington. April $50 far as can be
now foreseen the week will be given up
largely to the Alaskan code bill and the
appropriat ton bills in the Senate.
Senator Hawley, chairman of the COM
mittee on Military Affairs, has given no
tice that he will call up the army APP
preparation bill on Monday, and when this
bill is disposed of, it is probable that the
fortffications bill will be taken up. There
will be an effort to secure final DISPOSE
ton of the Alaskan bill, but there is al
most as much opposition to the Carter
amendment as there was to the amend
ment suggested by Senator Hansbrough,
1t Is impossible to say whether the effort
will succeed.
Senator Chandler on Wednesday will
ask consideration Of the resolution In the
case of Senator Clark of Montana, but
there will be a request for more time
to read the testimony and the case prob
ably will go over at least for several
days more.
On Thursday the Senate will listen to
