ValdOSta Men Are
Being Mentioned

The following was sent out yester-
day from Valdosta:
The announcement from Congress-
man Brantley that he would not offer
for reelection to congress from the
Eleventh district makes it pracJic.~-ly y
certain that there will be a candidate
in the race from Valdosta. Two names
are mentioned in connection with the
office and both OF them have large
connections throughout the district.
"Col. J. Randall Walker is being
urged by his friends TO enter the
race. 1t is conceded that he is a
very strong candidate. He is warm
'friedd of Congressman Brantley, has
a large family connection in Pearce
and Coffee counties and has warm
friends in Berrien, sClinch, Brooks and
Ware, all of whom have urged him to
get in the race. His friends feel that
he would have sixteen votes in the
convention without trouble and that a
little work would give him four more,
or twenty of the thirty-six votes in
the convention.
Judge Oscar Smith is also spoken
of and may get in the race. He has
been Congressman Brantley's close
friend in this county and has always
said that he would like to succeed
Brantley. It is probable that both OF
the Valdostans will not make the race,
but it is equally certain that one of
them will be in It"

GRACE SHOOTING
STILL A MYSTERY
NO MOTION YET MADE FOR BAIL
FOR WIFE, WHO is
STILL IN JAIL.

Atlanta, March 12.-Contrary tc
expectations no application for bail
for Mrs. Eugene H. Grace, in Jail for
connection with the mysterious shoot
ing of her husband, was made today,
in spite of continued improvement in
his condition.
Lawyers for both sides said they
We're ready for her preliminary hear
ing tomorrow, and unless Grace takes
turn for the worse, it is expected
the case will be brought up.
Mrs. Grace is credited with the
statement today that she would soon
give out a statement clearing up the
entire affair, and showing her inno-
cence.
In fact, so much better was Grace
yesterday that he was taken in an
ambulance from the hospital to a ply
sician's office, mile distant, where
an X-ray photograph of the wound in
his SIDE where the bullet entered his
body was made. He stood the trip
well. The bullet was located by the
photograph, but owing to continued
Inflammation the course It took can
not / q definitely determined as yet.
Mrs. Grace, it now appears, is anx
ious to secure her freedom from Jail
VIII ere she has been confined since be
ing compelled by judge to cease en-
joying liberty under a bond, which
she made soon after her arrest. II
was thought then that Grace could not
reco yer. Now that he is better her
attorneys believe that she could be ad-
mitt9d to bail, which they declare she
is able to again give.
Circumstances surrounding the
shooting at the Grace home remain as
much of mystery as ever; Grace
claims his wife shot him; his wife
claims she is innocent; conflicting
statements; letter that Grace says
he wrote his wife at her suggestion,
parts of night clothing scorched, bed
clothing showing no such marks, are
features in case. that. SO far. is daily
more stepped in mystery, instead OF
being cleared up Dy lnVeStlsalloh.
An X-ray examination of Grace's
wound showed today that the bullet is
resting against the spinal column,and
could be removed by delicate opera
ton, which will be undertaken when
the patients general condition so per-
mits.
Physicians reiterated their declara-
ton that even If the man lives he
may be crippled for life - paralyzed
from his waist down.
Attorneys for the accused wife have
decided to let no one, not even de
tectives, talk with her from now on.
Her .: eliminary trial is scheduled for
tomorrow afternoon.
