ing in behalf of Floyd Allen, one o.
the men charged with the murder Of
her r-in-law, Mrs. David Ayres
today at the trial of Allen, said the
shot which killed Miss Elizabeth
Ayres came from behind where she
was in the court room and from the

court, Dexter Goad, was standing.
Good progress was made today in
the trial of Allen for the murder of
William M. Foster, prosecutor FOR
Carroll county, who was shot down in
the Hillsville courthouse, March Ia.
The defense continued to place wit
nesses on the stand to refute testi-
mony given for the prosecution. Da-

HAD NOT SEEN BROTHER
SINCE THE CIVIL war.
They Met on the Streets of Macon
and After Short Conversation Dis
covered that They Were Brothers
Separated for 40 Years.

AFTER being separated for forty
nine years, each not knowing wheth-
er the other was dead or alive. two
confederate veterans, one a Bruns-
WICK man, met at the reunion in Ma
con few days ago, and had the
meeting of the old soldiers been a
failure in every way possible. it would
have been great success To thasa
old soldiers.
In 1853 James w. and John A. Will
hanson parted at Monticello Fla. to
night for their country. They were
assigned to different regiments and
each had no intelligence of the other

ers wondered what became of the
other. All these years have passed.
out neither had received any mes
sage as to the whereabouts of his
brother, and both had reached the
conclusion, probably, that his brother
nad met death in some battle between
the States.
James w. Williamson, who has
been residing in Brunswick for some
-
time, left with the other members Of
Camp Jackson Monday night to at
tend the annual reunion in Macon.
While walking up one of the princi-
pal streets Of the Central City ne
discovered a face he thought looked
familiar to him. He began a con-
Versation and sooned learned that
the man was John A. Williamson. OF
Lexington, Miss, and soon the reali-
zation dawned upon both that they
were brothers who had parted at the
Florida home just forty eight years
ago to go to war
Such love feast was never before
witnessed between two brothers and
during the entire week in Macon
they have been constantly together.
They were both guests of J. s. Cherry,
a Macon veteran, and most Of their
time has been spent in discussing
various events that occurred during
the long ago. Each Of the brothers
were quick to acknowledge that he
believed the other was dead.

the parish known as the Raise river
section which includes New Roads, is
now being rapidly inundated. the
banks along that waterway are COM
paratively high, but the water from
the Torras creyasse is running over
in a number of places.
An old man, who was among the
last of the residents taken out of
Morganza, gave his reasons today why
he thought the suffering caused by
the flood was the result of a punish
ment inflicted upon the wrongdoers.
God put the Indian and bull frog
there" he said 1--WE run the Indian
away and eat the bull frog. He pun
ished us for it by overfows."
Carcasses of hundreds of animals
are floating in the back-water be-
tween New Roads and Torras. They
can neither be buried or burned and
the health authorities are somewhat
puzzled as to what disposition 70
make of them. Every carcass has a
half dozen or more buzzards as pas
sengers.
