Will Make Final Stand.

Rellano, Mex, May 13.-General
Orozco, the rebel chief, today muster
ed his army for a final stand against
the advancing federals.
Admitting that the government
fore IS are better equipped in artillery,
OrOzco declares he is Withdrawing his
troops to the vicinity of Rellano, so
they may have the advantage of the
Notifications and trenches from which
three weeks ago, the rebels nearly
annihilated the federal command of
General Gonzalez Salas, who commit
ted suicide when the battle went
against him.
Though rebel casualties i'll the en-
gagement of yesterday were heavy,
the liberal leaders declare the gov
ernment likewise suffered heavily and
except for the loss of important posi-
tions at Conejos, they claim an even
break in the fighting.
All of the generals and their COM
mands have been ordered to mobilize
here, where the entire fighting
strength of the insurrectos will be
thrown against the enemy.

MUCH INTEREST
In GOLF CLUB
BRUNSWICK AND SAVANNAH
TEAMS MAY CoNTEST-scoRES
MADE IN LAST MATCH.

Considerable interest continues to
be manifested in golf in Brunswick,
and fully thirty-five 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
gentlemen's 1S-hole match was as
follows:
Win Parker-Gross, So; handicap,
6; net score 80.
Geo. H. Cook-Gross, 81; handicap,
4; net score, 83.
j. M. Ralston-Gross, 100; handicap,
IS; net score, "a.
Paul Morton-Gross, 1O1; handicap,
16; net score, IS.
1t is more than probable that a.
match will be arranged with the Sa-
yannah 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 some 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 80, 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. Cowle and their
game is being improved very much
on account of his efforts with them.

Burn BRIDGES Behind.

At the Federal Front, Conejos, Mex
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 yesterdays
engagement.
The rebels are believed to have lost
600 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 zone
jos, 55 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. B4%&
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.

Mississippi river is stationary at 432
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.

a number of weak places in the lev
ees from Torras south, nosaoLy ar
Baton Rouge, Condor's Point, six
miles south of the capital, and at
Fishers Mill, twelve miles north Of

IF there are no othor serious
transforms and high winds we hope

the levee work from Vicksburg, south.
THE levees that were damaged by
Friday nights storm have been re-
paired low places nave been topped
all along and throughout the district

Rebel Base at ReIIano.

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 strategic purpose.

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

The following telegram sent out
from Milledgeville will be of interest
here:
The last chapter in the famous
Eastman riots of nearly LaIrty I'VE
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 q
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.
'FOld 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 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 MistriaI Will Be
ResuIt-CounseI on Both Sides
Fought Hard.

The case of T. J. Abbott,
charged with selling intoxicating liQ-
uors, was brought to trial again yes
terday at a 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
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 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 o'clock and at 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
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 new trial was
granted by the supreme court from
which the two later cases resulted.

is not popular with the farmers he

today on an unbreeched shotgun
wrapped in sack in a ginhouse 200
yards from the home of Eugene Shew
make at Eupora, where Walter Per-
menter was shot to death Friday night
incites the officers to hope that the as
session will soon be located. Three re-
loaded and one empty shells were found
under the house
This is the first important clue un-
earthed in the latest chapter of Win
ston county's bloody tragedy, the first
scene of which was laid two years ago,
when pretty Jennie Sharp was killed. A
reward of $1,000 has been offered for
the arrest of Permenters slayer.
The trial of Swinton Permenter for
the alleged murder of Jennie Sharp
was postponed on account of the fun
eral of the defendants brother. 1t will
open here tomorrow. 1t is not improb-
able that Walter Permenter was assas-

MULKEY CONTENDS
JUDGES IGNORANT
Geneva Representative Be-
Iieves Reversals Due to
Lack of knowledge

Montgomery. August 5.-(SpeciaL)-Rep-
rescntative w. o. Mulkey of Geneva has
written to Judge John Pelham of the state
court of appeals, and chairman of the
committee on judicial reform, a letter in
which he expresses the opinion that Ala
bama judges are ignorant, that they do
not study, and that they give a greater
portion of their time to social intercourse.
According to Mr.. Mulkey, "nisi prius
judges should give little attention to
the law" He said they do not burn the
midnight oil and that "wfen judgment
rendered by the court of which they are
the Judge is reversed, they are up in arms
against the court and system"
Mr.. Mulkey said there was no excuse
for three-fourths of the reversa!s except
ignorance of the law and plain principles
of law by judges trying the cases. Let
the judges go to work, learn the law, re-
member 1t and apply IT" admonished Null
key in closing his open letter to the ju-
dicial commission.
