ALLEN DEFENSE TRYING
TO REFUTE CONSPIRACY

Wytheville, Va May 9.-COunsel for
Floyd Allen began in earnest today
to break down the evidence intro
duced by the commonwealth to show
that a conspiracy existed between the
Aliens to shoot up the Carroll county
court. 1t placed on the stand witt
nesses to refute the conspiracy charge
and testimony as to the good charac
ter of the younger members of the
Allen clan.>
Emmet Bollen, who was in court
when the verdict against Floyd Allen
was reached the morning of the trag-
edy, said he left before sentence was
pronounced and before the shooting.
He declared he had gone to a drug
store nearby and there saw Friel Al
len and Wesley Edwards
Robert Wilkson, cashier of the
Hillsville bank, testified that Sidna
Allen had deposited in the bank just
before the shooting occurred a con-
siderable sum of money. This he said
was still on deposit in the bank

KEEPS JURY OUT
FOR MANY HOURS
TWELVE MEN IN THE ABBOTT
CASE HAVE BEEN TIED UP
SINCE WEDNESDAY.

The jury which has been trying to
arrive at a verdict il the case of
the state VS.. I. J. Abbott, Charged
with selling whisky, is still cut,
hopelessly divided, and it is prob
able that Judge Krauss, of the city
cflSt, will not call the twelve men
in and declare a mistrial bef,~e sh's
afternoon.
The case was given to the jIry late
Wednesday afternoon. 1t, was at first
thought that verdict woul1 be
reached in a very short time, bug
after the panel remained out Tor Two
or three hours it was at once thought
that mistrial would be decla ID.
All of Wednesday night the jury
was out and when the court co lVened
yesterday morning Judge Krauss call
ed in the members and tnev an
nounced that they had not arrived at
verdict. Later they again report
ed to the court and asked foc a y.
charge on certain points connecteI
with the case. This the cout di |,
but it was to no avail, and during tr=
entire day the jury remained in ia
room wrangling over the case
Though court recessed during the
afternoon, the jury was left out, and
they spent a second night with the
case. 1t is probable, however, that
if verdict is not reached today
Judge Krauss will call the jury in and
declare a mistrial.

IS In FAVOR OF
A BOND ISSUE
CAPT. F. D. M. STRAcHAN WRITES
INTERESTINGLY ON THIS
IMPORTANT SUBJECT.

A few days ago The News sent let
ters to a number of prominent busi-
ness men and property owners ASK
ing for an expression as to the wis
dom of a bond issue in Brunswick
and Glynn county for interna, and
permanent improvements. Quite a
number of these gentlemen have re-
piled to the letters which will be pub
lished from time to time. Among
the replies received, the following
from Capt. F. D. NJ Strachan will be
OF interest:
Brunswick, May 5th, 1912.
Editor Brunswick News:
Dear sir: Much absence from city
has deferred an earlier reply to your
letter of April %. AS a taxpayer my
views are that any city or county,
with the prospective commercial de-
velopment that our community is cap
able of, should place themselves in
the position of a big business firm
or corporation, using city or county
credit fully, but judiciously, just as
business concerns do for the purposes
OF development.
For these reasons l favor bond is
sues for permanent improvements,a ,and
in view of the steady growth of our
city, its low and level situation, feeI
our first need is extension of the
sewerage plant and lines. A severe
epidemic of sickness might not only
be fraugAt with bereavement and sor-
row to many OF us, but undoubtedly
give our city a commercial blow re-
quiring years to overcome.
Also favor continuance or the
broad policies recently adopted to-
ward manufacturing plants and en-
terprises, also all reasonable aid and
facilities to rail lines already here
or projected.
| understand Brunswick years ago
lost the opportunity of being what is
now the north and south direct main
line of the Seaboard. What we have
lost by being off the direct main line
is almost impossible to estimate
therefore, l favor taking no more
chances. Little acorns make giant
live oaks. Again apologizing for delay
in replying, Yours truly,
F. D. M. STRACHAN.

Northern Virginia.

mander of the Army of Tennessee.
General w. K. Van Zandt, Fort
Worth, Tex, commander of trans
Mississippi department.
General Young's Speech.
In accepting the office of comman.
der-in- chief, General Bennett H.
Young said in part:
You have chosen me, my COM
rades, to what consider as the high
est and greatest honor in the gift
of men. l would rather be comman-
der-ln- chief of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans than sit in the chair
now occupied by William H. Taft as
president of the United States
COMMANDMENTS Chief Election.
Veterans of the South this morning
assembled in large numbers in the
vast auditorium at Camp Gordon to
elect a commander-in-c chief, while
others, housed in the government
tents, packed their satchels and their
knapsacks and prepared for the re.
turn home after the parade this after
noon. Interest in the selection of a
commander in chief is intense among
the veterans. They entered into this
matter with more feeling than in the
selection of the next meeting place,
and long before the convention was
called to order they assembled and
discussed earnestly and feelingly the
probable cation.
Partisans of General Walker. the
present commander are determined
that he shall be honored with the
honor which fell to him upon the
death of the beloved Gordon a few
months since. Friends of Gen. Ben
nett H. Young of Louisville, are ac-
lively promoting his candidacy. The
followers of General Van Zandt Of
Texas, comprising mostly the veterans
of the trans Mississippi department,
are likewise strong in their conten-
ton that he is the logical man for
the post Their most effective ap-
peal is that the honOrs be divided,
and urge that the West be given the
commander now that the East has
captured the next convention. General
Walker takes the position that the
office of commander in chief should
not be solicited, and for that reason
he is not an active candidate

The Macon reunion committees are
working hard this morning to perfect

his PLXTFORM
IS ANNOUNCED
JUDGE T. A. PARKER ISSUES A
STATEMENT TO VOTERS OF
eleventh DISTRICT.

Judge I. A. Parker of Waycross,
candidate for congress from the 18th
district to succeed Hon. w. G.. Brant-
ley, has issued his platform, which is
rather brief, but decidedly full OF
solid, democratic principles.
Judge Parker was for many years
judge of the old Brunswick circuit
and he has a large following in this
city who are actively supporting him
in his race. His platform is as ro1-
lows:
To the Democratic Voters of the
Eleventh Congressional District of
Georgia:
In making formal announcement OF
my candidacy to represent you in the
SiXty-third congress- and in soliciting
your support and influence, | deem it
proper that you should first know my
views on public questions of national
importance.
| stand for the following princi-
pies:
l.. The democratic platform Should
be a practical guide for dem )crat:c
official conduct. | am a democrat,
and therefore, pledge myself to sre
principles of democracy as emDo3ie
in the democratic platform.
2. The affairs of the government
should he conducted upon the same
business principle and as econ )rlIcal-
ly as the affairs of an individual.
am for an economical odmipi -fy, =, ~,
of the governments affairs, ana
against republican extravaganza
4. Those who are best able to bear
the burden of taxes should be re-
quired to do so, and, therefore, fay3f
tax upon all incomes in excess o.
$4,000.
4. Water furnishes the natural
and cheapest means Of transportation,
our navigable streams should be i'm
proved and developed; our harDors
should be developed TO their fullest
capacity, and where practicable and
feasible other streams should he
made navigable, and ship canals con-
structed to shorten routes AMI make
navigation safer.
5. Good roads are public blessings,
and | favor national aid in the build
ing of public highways throughout the
country.
6. | am in favor of a parcels post
The people demand it, and ought to
have it. ,s,,-+s'se-. I -
7. Labor is of the highest dignity,
and laboring men should be fully pro-
tected and their rights safeguarded
by proper legislation.
s. favor a change of the law so
as to authorize national banks to
lend money on real estate; it is to
the interest of the people that this
be done, real estate being the only
collateral owned by the average mar.
9. A tariff for revenue only is the
basic PR ltipie of democracy, there
should lie no tariff on the necessaries
of life; the luXunes should Be made
to bear the burden
10. The national government shoEi1
assist in every way possible to better
farming methods, aud make this great
industry more piOHldDle. shall sup
port and fight for every measure that
mas for its purpose the best interest
OF the farmer.
II. The interest of the peop:e de-
mands fair competition as against
monopolies. | am opposed to trusts
and monopo.ies, and believe in such
legislation as will make a trust Or
impossible.
II. [ believe in national aid for a
drainage system by which our low
lands may be reclaimed and brought
into practical Use.

MORE FLOODS
NOWPRED|CTED
IN LOUISIANA
WEAVER BUREAU PREDICTS A
GREATER RISE IN THE MIS-
SISSIPPI RIVER.
New Breaks in Levees Causing lnun-.
dation of Thousands of Rich Farms
Baton Rouge and Other Cities.

New Orleans, May 9-Notwithstana-
ing the widening of the Torras crew
asse and the constantly increasing
volume of water which it is diverting
from the Mississippi river and spread
ing over the lowlands west of the
big stream, the weather bureau To-Day
slightly increased its forecast of max
imum stages in the river at points
south of the Red river. These new
figures, of course, are based on the
presumption that "all remaining lev
ees" will hold.
To it's previous forecast, the wealth
er bureau added one tenth of a foot
to the predicted stage at Baton Rouge
and one-tenth increase for Donaldson
vile. For New Orleans the predfc-
tion of 21.5 feet was renewed, with
the qualification that if south winds
should prevail here the maximum may
reach 21.S feet
The crest is expected to pass New
Orleans early next week, perhaps
Monday or Tuesday.
More sunshine and three days aD-
sence of rain in the Mississippi val
ley has frightened the flood situation
in the territory from Morganba south
so far as the levees are concerned.
The levees in the New Orleans dis
trict have been thoroughly dried out
and today practically no work was
being done here except on the Ames-
vile stretch of 5000 feet across the
river Capt. C. o. Sheriff., chief OF
the United States army engineers, who
is directing the Amesville work, stat
ed this morning that this stretch
would be completed by nightfall.
The river here this morning at
above the 1903 flood record and the
weather bureau predicts that it will
go from one-tenth to four tenths OF
a foot higher, the latter figures be-
ing based on the possibility Of south
winds.
The New Orleans food relief COM
mittee today shipped out three more
carloads of clothing and shoes to
refugee camps at Opelousas, LaF'ay-
cite, Rayne and other towns in the
hills west of the flooded Atchafafayu
territory.
Generous contributions are being
received from the citizens Of this sec
ton who have been spared the mis-
fortunes visited upon the people along
the west bank of the Mississippi from
Alsatia south.
Reports received today at the army
engineers headquarters from points
up and down the river were optimis-
tic. There are still some weak lev
ees in the section from LaCour around
the big Morganba bend to Pointe Cou-
pee and at intervals south Of there
to Donaldsvile, but 1000 federal levee
workers and still larger number
of state convicts and citizens are con
tinuing work with the outlook hope
