MUCH INTEREST
In GOLF CLUB
BRUNSWICK AND SAVANNAH
TEAMS MAY coNTEsT-scoREs
MAIDS IN LAST MATCH.

Considerable interest continues to
be manifested in golf in Brunswick,
and fully thirty-ive players contest
ed in the several events last Satur-
day afternoon. The results of the
contests were in doubt at all times
Miss Margaret Symons won the first
prize in the ladies approaching and
putting contest, the second being
captured by Miss Fe Symons.
The scOers for the winners of the
gentlemens 1S-hole match was as
follows:
VIII Parker-Gross, Sc; handicap,
6; net score 80.
Geo. H. Cook-Gross, ST; handicap,
/, net score, SO.
j. NJ. Ralston-Gross, 100; handicap,
16; let score, S4
Paul Morton-Gross, 10l handicap,
16; net score, S5.
1t is more than probable that a
match will be arranged with the Sa-
vannah Golf club, within the next
two weeks and at the same time a
match will be pulled off between
Charming Floyd, the Savannah pro-
fessional, and Harry Cowie, the pro-
fessional who has been in Brunswick
for sCme time. 1t will be a match
of considerable interest to the Bruns-
wick players, for they feel sure that
Mr.. Cowie will be able to have Mr..
Floyd at least one down on the last
green, as Mr.. Cowie is playing his
game up to form and only one day
last week he made the local course
in 81 and 50, which is the best dOu-
Bile round score that has ever been
made on the local links. Andrew
Manson of Darien, equaled Mr.. Cowie's
score for one round, making it in 81
strokes, but his next round was 36
strokes. Mr.. Cowie says that he ex-
poets to better his record on the links
before he leaves Brunswick. A num-
Der of players are taking golf in
struction from Mr.. Cowie and their
game is being improved very much
on account of his efforts with them.

FALLING STAGES REPORTED ALL
ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER.
Levees Damaged by Storm Last Fri
day Night at New Orleans Have
Been Repaired and Worst Thought
to Be Over.

New Orleans, Ma : 13.-Wfth the eX-
ception of Baton Rouge, where the
Mississippi river is stationary at 43.R
feet, the United States weather bu-
reau today reported falling stages at
all points south of Cairo. A fall Of
two-tenths at Vicksburg and Natchez
and one-tenth at both Donaldsonville
and New Orleans were recorded.
Monday brought fine weather here,
and the warm sunshine is expected
to further dry out the bad levees.
Reports received at the office of the
United States and state engineers
this morning were encouraging, al
though it is admitted there are still
number of weak places in the lev
ees from Torras south, notaOY ar
Baton Rouge, Condors Point, six
miles south of the capital and at
Fishers Mill, twelve miles north of
New Orleans.
If there are no otlgr serious
transforms and high winds we hope
to mold all remaining levees," said
Captain Sheriff., chief of the United
States army engineers in charge OF
the levee work from Vicksburg, south.
The levees that we're damaged by
Friday nights storm have been re-
paired; low places nave been topped
all along and throughout the district
the levees have been considerably
streug thened."
Captain Sheriff. will leave New Or
leans this afternoon for Baton Rouge
and will go from there to IOrras,
where today he ordered work started
in an effort to tie the lower end OF
the Torras crevasse. Heavy tarpau-
Inns are to be put around the end Of
the levee and rock piled on top. The
! United States ship Ram will then
drive pilings from the river side to
the land side. Sand bags will be
filled in behind the pilings.
Tuesday, Captain Sheriff. will reach
the Bayou des Glaize levee east of
Moreduville, where Assistant Engineer
Douglas has a hard fight on hand to
hold the levees around the big bend.
This m orning Mr.. Douglas reported
further breaks in the private levee
along Bayou des Glaize, west of Mo-
reauville. The water is rapidly in
undating the country south.

Rebel Base at RelIano.

Jiminez, Mexico, May 13.-Rellano
today is the new field of the Mexican
rebel army. The staff headquarters
of Orozco are thirty five miles in the
rear at Jiminez. These movements
northward reveal the extensive re-
treat OF the insurrectos.
The federals occupy positions about
Conejos, and pursuit of the retreating
liberals appears to have ceased. A
small garrison has been left at Esca-
Ion, the abandoned rebel base.
Heavy guns and thousands of men
guard the hills at Rellano, a locality
considered by the rebels impregnable.
General Orozco today insisted the
retreat was for a strategic purpose.

May 13.-Burning bridges behind
them, the Mexican rebels today con-
tinued their retreat northward before
the victorious federal army of Cen
eral Huerto. Five bridges spanning
wide arroyas were destroyed by the
insurgents, causing delay to govern
ment troop trains.
No fighting was expected today, as
both sides were occupied with their
dead and wounded from yesterday s
engagement.
The rebels are believed to have lost
500 killed and wounded.
General Orozco's headquarters have
been moved northward to Rellano
from Escalon, retreat of eleven
miles. The rebel advance guard, af'
ter the defeat of yesterday at cone
jos, 80 miles north of Torreon, today
was sighted behind Yermo, IA miles
north of here, on the Mexican Central
railroad.
Though skirmishing is expected
constantly, another decisive clash
probably will not occur for twenty
four hours. TsMl
Thus far the advantage has been
with the government troops, as they
steadily have pushed the rebels to
the north. The superior artillery fire
Of the government troops, driving the
surrectos so far back that their in
fantry fire became ineffective, is
counted on to force the OrozcO army
still further northWard.

LAST OF EASTMAN
RIOTERS is DEAD
Ike Shippman's Life Ends on the
Prison Farm.

The following telegram sent out
here:
The last chapter in the famous
Eastman riots of nearly tairty- five
years ago was ended Friday when Ike
Shippman, the last of the surviving
participants, died in the state penn
tentiary here. The tragic story of
that event is a matter of history in
Georgia and probably 100 negroes
were killed during the riots. After
the law got control of the situation
twenty-three of the leaders among
the negroes who melted the insur-
rection were corralled and of this
number six men and one woman were
hanged, while the remainder received
life sentences, Ike Shippman being
the last of the number to pass away.
After his sentence he was sent to
the Coal City coal mines and when
the convict lease system was abolish
ed old Ike, who was virtually an in
valid, was transferred to the state
prison farm here and he has been a
harmless invalid for years. No other
section of the South knew such an
uprising as the Eastman riots and for
months it was the subject of comment
throughout the country.
'"Old Ike would talk about the affair
occasionally before his death, but his
mind had been so impaired by hard
work oflloWed by physical feeble
ness, that he could talk only in in
coherent syllables, telling nothing tan
gible 0 fthe event.

ABBOTT CASE IS
AGAIN On TRIAL
IN CITY COURT
AFTER HARD FOUGHT LEGAL
BATTLE BETWEEN STATE AND
DEFENSE JURY GETS CASE.
Twelve Men Still Out and 1t is
Thought Another Mstrial Will Be
Result-Counsei on Both Sides
Fought Hard.

The case of T. J. Abbott,
charged with selling intoxicating lfq-
uors, was brought to trial again yes
terday at special session of the city
court, called ostensibly to try this
case. AS. will be remembered, the
case against the defendant was tried
last week and a mistrial resulted, and
when Judge Krauss called in the jury
after he concluded that they were
hopelessly tied up he announced the
case would be called for yesterday
and summoned a special panel of jur-
ors.
The entire morning was devoted to
securing a jury and it was only after
an extra panel was summoned that
the necessary twelve were secured.
A motion made by Judge Isaac was
not sustained and the case went to
trial shortly after court convened for
the afternoon session.
After an examination of the various
witnesses for the prosecution and de-
tense the case was given to the jury
at 6 o'clock and at a late hour last
night had not come to verdict. AS
in the previous case, it is thought a
mistrial will result in this owing to
the peculiar evidence submitted.
Arguments of Counsel Brilliant.
In arguing their case before the jury
both Col. R. E. Dart, for the prosecu-
ton, and Judge Isaac for the defense,
did creditable work. The case was
discussed and analyzed by them n
every respect and it has been many
a day since such eloquence and ver-
biage has been heard at the county
courthouse.
The case has been one of more
than usual interest in this county, in
asmuch as it has been twice tried,
the defendant convicted and heavy
fine and sentence being the case in
the first trial, but a new trial was
granted, by the supreme court from
which the two later cases resulted.
