NEGRO BICYCLIST SHOT.
White Men Thought He Was
Trying to Hold Them Up.

Valdosta. Ga. Feb 10.-Two local ply
sicians were summoned to Ousley Station
at a late hour last night to pick the bull
lets out of a negro man, who had been
perforated in a rather peculiar accident
The negro was one of the hands at NAL
loy's still, and it is said that he was
riding a bicycle along the road near there.
The night was dark and the negro had
no lantern on his wheel.
Coming from the opposite direction were
two white men in a buggy. They could
not see the negro on the wheel, and tine
negro did not see them until they had
come nearly together The horse which
the two men were driving SHE'D and then
the dim outline of the negro was seen.
They thought Il was "hold-up" and
so they began firing at the negro who
fell to the ground. The horse reared
up, and the men kept blazing away at
the negro, each movement of him and
the horse being regarded as but another
part of the "hold-up'' proceedings.
The men finally found out that their
bullets had taken effect and they made
lights to examine the surroundings
When they discovered that the negro
was only an innocent traveller on BIZ
cycle they greatly regretted that he had
been hurt, and summoned physicians to
attend to him. The negro received sew
eral bullets, but it is believed that he
will get along all right

The Brunswick Convention.

Statesboro, Ga, Feb. 10-Editor Morn
ing News: The recent Brunswick con-
vention, no doubt fully expressed the
views of themselves, the Cramps, Sc
walls, and other ship owners, like Boss
Hanna, but the people Of Georgia, will
endorse Gov. Gambler, IN saying that the
ship-subsidy bin is a gigantic steal
Senator Jones, in speaking of the bill,
said II firmly believe that this scheme
OF undertaking to put the merchant ma
rine of the United States in the foreign
trade. practically in the hands OF a
coterie Of individuals whom you can count
on the fingers of your hands, Is part Of
a great scheme OF organizing all the
transportation facilities of the country
under one single control. Every day that
comes gives us an account in the news
papers of a consolidation of railroads,
the absorption OF the great continental
lines, and bringing them all under the
control of a half dozen men. ] believe
that this bill Is intended to put the
shipping Of the high seas as absolutely
under the control OF the men who are
undertaking to take the commerce Of the
country by the throat, as / believe that
/ am standing here"
Judging from the events Of the past
few years, the statement Of MIR. Jones
will prove to be true, and the good folks
Of Savannah, who are so deeply interest
ed in transportation, will wake up some
day to find that there Is only one line
OF railway. and one line OF steamers
coming into their city, and then every
business man, will feel that he, too
needs subsidizing. OF course the bill
will pass, as do all bills. which the
bosses desire. and the dear people will
look on and applaud and thank God
that wind and water are stu free.

duction bill will come before the House
tomorrow, with some prospect of an an
imated discussion. The Ways and Means
Committee has already determined on a
recomme ndation for disagreement 10 the
Senate amendments to the bill, and that
conference with the Senate be asked
But this determine ton has aroused con-
siderable feeling among the majority mem
bers Of the committee and this may find
expression when Chairman Payne pre-
sents tine report and moves for a confer
ence.
Following this matter. the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill will claim
attention, the general discussion of for
eign questions. particularly the Philip
pines, being still open. The army appro-
priation bill and the sundry civil bill will
receive consideration during the week.
Among the measures of general legisla-
ton likely to come up is the important
bill for government aid and par
tiCipation in the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition to be held at
St. Louis. Chairman Tawney having
the subject in charge, has received as
surances from the Speaker of early recog-
milton and expects to take up the bill
during the first part of the week. The
bills retiring officers Of the revenue cut
ter service, and establishing a standard
izihg bureau, continue to be special or
ders when appropriation bills do not have
the right of way. Legislation regarding
West Point hazing may come up at any
time. although it Is likely to be dealt
with in conference in connection with the

PARDON WANTED FOR SMITH.
WaycrOss Citizens VIII Petition the
PRESIDENT.

Waycross, Ca. Feb "a petition is
being circulated and is being signed by
the best and most influential citizens Of
Waycross, asking that President MeKln-
ley grant a pardon to NJ. G. Smith. OF
this city. who was convicted in Judge
Speer's court for passing counterfeit
money, and sentenced to twelve months
Imprisonment. About two years ago
Smith, who was a carpenter in Waycross,
left for Valdosta to seek work. He had
been on spree, and while in this con-
dition gained possession of some counter
felt money. At Valdosta, while stlll I'M
der the influence OF liquor. he attempted
to pase. or did pass some of the coins. He
was arrested and taken to Naldosta, where
he gave bond. Smith was sick at the
ensuing term Of court, necessitat-
ing continuance OF the case. Al the term
of court just closed he came to trial and
entered a plea Of guilty.

easily be secured for although technically
guilty Of passing the money he had no
real intention to violate the law. Some Of
the best citizens OF the town, including
the solicitor general Of the Brunswick cir
cult Ex-Judge J. i. Sweat. Hon. Leon
A. Wilson. Judge j. S. Williams, minis
ters county and city officials and others
have signed the petition.
