stolen therefrom have already injur-
ed Hughes candidacy, and will bring
about an overwhelming defeat for
him.
Mr.. Dodson has made no request
for their return, it is said, content
ing himself with vigorous denuncia-
ton of the actions of the parties who
instigated the theft and of Candi-
date Hughes part in receiving the
stolen letters, retaining them, and
proposing to use them.
Warm Correspondence.
1t is believed the correspondence
may prove a tcifle too warm for the
newspapers to publish, and that it
will be issued in circular form and
placed in the hands of every voter
in the district
Manager DOdson, it is stated, will
express the view to the voters that
parties who would hire some one to
burglari2e an office to secure letters
would not hesitate to disseminate
forged documents or alter original
letters to suit their political ends.
The issue seems to lie between bod
son and Hughes, and the pubic gen
orally is wondering what the result
will be when the hot correspondence
is given to the world.
Hughes Read the Letters.
In speech in Hawkinsville Sat
urday Mr.. Hughes read a number of
the now famous Dodson letters They
were from various persons in the
Third district applying for money
in sums ranging from $50 to $3.50,
and acknowledging receipt of the
amounts asked for, and also copies
of letters from Mr.. DOdson to liquor
houses for whiskey and beer to be
sent to various persons in the dis
trict.
Congressman Lewis, on learning
that the letters had been read by
Hughes, issued an open letter to the
people of the district, saying in part:
When partisans of a candidate
are found willing to hire some one
to burglarize a mans Office to ran
sack his papers in the hope of secur-
ing something that can be used for
political purposes, then one can truly
feel that it would not be beneath
such parties to resort to the forgery
of letters to the fabrication and issu-
ance of false documents, or to any
other contemplate acts to gain a
point.

4 SENSATION THAT HAS STIRRED
THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT. A HOT TIME.

Office of Congressman Lewis Cam
paign Manager at Americas Enter
ed and Letter Files Ransacked.
Mr., Dudley NJ. Hughes, Who Is OPP
posing Mr.. Lewis, Wrote That He
Had Letters and Would Use Them.
The Third congressional district is
IN the throes of the greatest political
sensation in its history.
Sometime prior to May 18th the
pffce in Americas of Hon. w. A. bod
BON, at one time president of the
Georgia senate and a we'll known
figure in Georgia politics, was enter
ed, presumably by some person &C
Huainted with the politics of the
phird district. The letter files were
fansacked, and large number
Pr letters relative to the present con-
eresslonal race between Congress
Enan Elijah B. Lewis and Hon. Dud-
Eey NJ, Hughes were stolen, together
Flth answers thereto. Whoever the
party was he did his work neatly and
sook his time, as it was necessary to
r. from one file to another to secure
khe replies. The files were left in
II apparently undisturbed condition
ne stolen letters were apparently
SeIected with great care and view
NJ their future use.

WHO STOLE DODSON's LETTERS

Mr.. DOdson, who is campaign man
ager for Congressman Lewis, was abb
sent from the city at the time of the
ransacking of his office, and as he
had no occasion to refer to the files
beyond the current letters he knew
nothing of the theft until Tuesday
when he received a letter, it is stat
ed, from Hon. Dudley M. Hughes,
who was defeated by Lewis in the
congressional race two years ago and
is now opposing Lewis again, stating
that a package of fifty or more let
ters, with carbon copies of replies
thereto, had been placed in his
hands.
From Many Workers.
The letters, Mr.. Hughes stated,
were from leading workers through
out the district to Manager Dodson
bearing on the campaign in progress,
and Mr.. Hughes stated in his letter,
it is reported, that he saw no reason
why he should not use the letters
against Lewis. and that he would
probably do 50.
Mr.. DOdson at once investigated
his letter files and found that some
letters were missing, how many he
could not discover. The porter re-
ported that one morning, during Mr..
Dodson absence, he found the win
dow and door of the office open, and
it is presumed that it was at that
time that the thief entered the otflce
and distracted the letters.
Hughes, it is reported, claimed III
his letter to Dodson that the letters
in his possession indicated improper
methods in the campaign. Manager
lDodson's reply is said to have been
of the hottest sort. Congressman
Lewis. who has just returned home
from Washington has issued an open
letter to the public dealing with the
theft of the letters and their propOs-
ed use by Hughes. Current rumors
are to the effect that Dodson has
made. or is about to make, a per-
emptory demand on Hughes for the
name of the party from whom ne
received the letters in order that
warrant may be issued for burglary.
| Manager DOdsOn denies emphaticalIy
that any genuine letters from ms
office would show what hughes
claims, and his letter to Hughes is
said to have placed the onus on
Hughes of being willing to become
the beneficiary of a crime committed
and paid for in his political interest.
The correspondence has not been
made public yet, but the story OF the
burglarizing of Manager Dodson s
office has spread over the district,
in one form or another, and the most
intense interest is felt in the publ
cation of the correspondence or the
next step that Hughes may take. IL
is generally understood that Mana
ger Dodson will publish the CORE
spondence with some very salty OBJ
seryations on Hughes.
Manager Dodson claims that Lew
is will carry at least ten of the nj
teen counties of the district, and Will
have majority of 1900 in the pop
ular vote. Lewis majority two years
ago was zoe. Dodson claims that
the burglarizing of his office and
Hughes proposed use of the letters

HORRIBLE WAS THE KILLING
Eaton Was Shot Down in the Pres
ence of His Wife as He Ran.
The Tragedy at Carnegie.

1IAC db
Further particulars of the killing
of w. w. Eaton by Henry Melton,
an account of which was printed in
last weeks News, are given by the
Cuthbert Leader in it's issue of
Thurs lay. In an account OF the
tragedy the Leader says:
Henry Melton and w. w. Eaton
have been living on adjoining farms.
Until recently they were on good
terms, but some weeks ago they had
misunderstanding in regard to a
hog trade. Later they disagreed
about a dividing ditch. One filled it
with stones, and the other took the
stones out.
Saturday afternoon Melton, armed
with a shot gun said to have been
loaded with buckshot, went to the
field where Eaton was at work Mel
ton claims that Eaton had previously
threatened his life, and for this rea-
son he armed himself. He asserts
that Eaton was advancing on him
with a stone before he fired Mrs.
Eaton, who was an eyewitness,
states that Melton informed her hus-
band that he had to come TO kill
him, whereupOn Eaton started to
run, and Melton fred twice. Eaton
fell, and Melton approached the
PROSTATE man, placed the gun near
his head and blew the top Of it off.
It was a horrible affair"
At last accounts Melton, who dis
appeared after the coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict charging him with
murder, was still at large.

President Roosevelt's determina-

prove embarrassing ~ the Anaconda

the national forests in the vicinity
of this company's smelters were be-

therefrom, the president has consult

purpose of protecting the property OF
the government. The result OF this
may be a suit in equity 10 restrain

cided for the government would
compel the company TO abandon ita
work or TO introduce new and harm

ed seriously by the sulphur gas and

shelters. Experts claim that 5000
900 pounds of sulphur gas and 90

duced daily by the offending smelters

FIGHT THE RODENTS.
Inspect the Orchard Frequently Dur.
Ing the Winter Months.

Every man that has orchard trees
should 20 over the orchard frequently
in the winter to make sure that his
trees are not being attacked by any
kind Of animals. If every man would
do that, large numbers Of trees would
be saved. Often the trees are being
injured under the crust Of snow. One
man had hundreds Of small trees
killed In single winter. The snow
lay q few inches deep and above 1t
formed a strong crust. There was
much grass In the orchard, and this
formed the home Of many field mice.
They had become hungry and worked
their way under the crust to the trees,
which they proceeded to attack under
the snow Had the owner dug away
the snow from around his trees
enough to make sure they were not
being attacked, the mice would have
been discovered at work, and their
mischief stopped before It had gone
far. On plowed land or in orchards
where clean culture has been fol-
lowed. there is little danger OF this.
but most Of the orchards are in grass
and so are liable to these attacks.
