"BILLY GOAT" SAW DOUBLE IN
A BIG PLATE GLASS WINDOW
And Then Proceeded to Butt Into II
With Much Force.

The smashing and scattering of a
large plate glass window in one of
the Briesenick stores on Newcastle
street yesterday afternoon attracted
the attention of a large number of
passers-by who rushed to the building
to see what had caused all the ex-
citement.
A small boy standing nearby. a
billy goat lying on the sidewalk COW
cred with glass from the large plate
window told the story The by was
driving near the building an1, at
tracted by something, stopped for d
minute. The goat saw another in the
window He didn't stop to make al
investigation, but went after the other
goat in short order, rammi lg into
the window with full force. The driver
merely escaped serious injury, jump
ing out of the way just as the plate
glass window crumbled into a dozen
pieces. One large piece fell upon
the goat, knocking it to the sidewalk,
and after all the goat was licked by
the other 'Billy" as he received sew
eral ugly gashes, but in the end the
insurance company will probably pay
for all Of the amusement.

THINKS ALLEN
HAD ON BREASTPLATE

Wytheville, Va, May 7.-Evidence
that Floyd Allen wore bullet-proof
protection in the Hillsville court when
the shooting up of the court took
place on March IA was brought out
during the trial of Allen here today
for the murder of Prosecutor William
H. Foster. Deputy Sheriff Gillespie
testified that after the shooting be-
gan he had fired four shots point
blank at Floyd Allen.
Gillespie said he had wondered why
the shots had not taken effect. He
made careful examination of the
courtroom, but could find no shots in
the walls opposite the point from
which he had shot at Allen. Before
Allen was arrested he had changed
his clothing, and Gillespie firmly be-
lieved the Allen clansman, the day
of the tragedy, wore a breastplate or
some other armor protection.

THE CONVENTION
WERE SELECTED
EIGHT APPOINTED TO REPRE-
SENT THIS COUNTY AT AT
.... LANTA MEETING.
Congressman 5rantIey May Go to
Baltimore as a Delegate from the
State at Large-W. r. .Frier, candi,-
date for One of Places From nth.

The democratic executive commit
tee of Glynn county met at the court
house yesterday at noon for the pur-
pose of naming delegates to the state
convention to be held in Atlanta on
May 2S, at which delegates to the
national democratic convention at
Baltimore will be elected, a member
of the national committee from Geor-
gia endorsed and other matters han
died.
Those named to represent this
county are the following: H. F. Dun
wodp, A. j. Crovatt, H. F. du Big
non, w. r. Townsend, E. C. Butts, F.
E. Twitty, Millard Reese. While
Glynn county will have only two votes
in the convention at the same time
the executive committee has the right
to appoint as many delegates as it
may desire. All of them may attend
the convention, but there will be only
two votes among the entire delega-
ton
While the committee did not en-
dorse Congressman Brantley as one
of the delegates from the state at
large, owing to the fact that it is not
known whether or not he desires to
attend the convention, at the same
time the local delegates will, when
they reach Atlanta, confer among
other friends of the congressman, and
cancus may be held in order to de-
termine who is to receive the support
of all the delegates from the Eleventh
district. 1t is believed that in the
event Mr.. Brantley expresses a de-
| sire to attend the convention that he
can easily be elected as one of the.
states "big four" -.
All Of the local delegates will prob
! ably favor the reelection of Hon.
Clark Howell as Georgia's member
Of the national democratic commit
tee Mr.. Howell has been a mem-
Der of the committee for many years.
So far only one candidate has an
nounced as a delegate to the national
convention from the Eleventh dis
trict, w. R. Frier of Douglas, who
was manager of the Underwood cam
paign in this district. The Eleventh
will have two votes in the convention
and it is probable that there will be
several candidates for the places.

ior clubs of Brunswick and Fernan-
dina, which went to the locals by a

by the youngsters of both clubs.
The locals are making arrange
ments for, number of games in the

ORPHAN is KILLED.

Columbia, s. c., May Little Hat
tie Heron, ten years old, an inmate
of the Epworth Orphan Home here,
took carbolic acid yesterday by mis-
take and lived three hours. The child
was given some of the acid by one
of the matrons, and told to take it
to another matron of the institution.
She evidently understood the matron
to tell her to take it, for she stepped
outside the door and drank the entire
contents of the bottle.

Scarcity of craft has been a serious
handicap in the rescue work. All the

Grace, who yesterday was indicted
by the grand jury here on charge
of shooting her husband, Eugene H

nervous strain under which she has
been laboring since her preliminary
hearing three weeks ago.
A morning paper here today made
the assertion that Mrs. Grace stated
after the grand jury indictment was
returned against her that she was
to become a mother.

MAKING UP OF TROOP
TRAINS MEANS NOTHING

Washington, May THE reported
activity of Col. Arthur Williams, 18th
infantry, in command at Fort D. A.
Russell, Wyoming, in rounding up
freight cars for the transportation of
troops to the Texas border, is said
at the war department to be due to
nothing more than a laudable desire
to have the troops in readiness to re-
spond to any call.
1t is pointed out that troops from
Fort d. A. Russell were nearly fort
night on the way from that point to
San Antonio during the mobilization
last summer.

NEW HOPE INSPIRED BY LATEST
Il
BULLETIN OF NEW ORLEANS
WEATHER MAN.
Drop of Half Foot is Predicted at
Crescent City, But Slight Rise May
Occur at Other Points Along the
Mississippi.

New Orleans, May I'm a bulIe-
Tin issued today the United States
weather bureau lowered by half a foot
It's forecast of maximum stage of
% feet in the Mississippi river at
New Orleans, but added three tenths
OF foot to its predicted maximum
stage at Baton Rouge and wo-tenths
more than previously estimated at
Donaldsonville.
This inspired new hopes to the
people in the immediate vicinity of
New Orleans, but the still higher flood
stages predicted at points north from
Donaldsonville to above Baton Rouge
means that the fight to hold the levees
in that section cannot be relaxed in
the slightest degree.
The revision of the weather bureau
figures for New Orleans was based
upon report received by the weather
bureau stating that an additional 500
feet of embankment at the Torras
crevasse went out last night, widen
ing the gap there to more than 1000
feet.
Break Gives Relief.
The widening of the Torras crew
asse with the constantly increasing
olume of water which it is turning
loose upon the lowlands on the west
side of the river, is calculated by the
engineers to give early relief to the
strain upon the levees south of that
point. With normal weather condf-
tions, the river and levee experts an
icipate slight fall in the river above
Baton Rouge within a week and the
crest of the flood is expected to reach
New Orleans Sunday with a maximum
stage of 21.5 feet, IL feet above the
previous high record.
Sunshine Brings Hope.
A bit of sunshine this morning lent
further encouragement to those who
are graphing with the dangerous sit
uation, but clouds were always in
sight and threatening to turn loose
another downpour to add to the han
dicap already present.
Encouraging reports were received
at the United States engineers office
this morning from Plaquemine, Nor
ganza, New Roads, Scott's Landing,
Baton Rouge and other points where
weak spots in the levees are being
repaired.
A large force continued work to-
day at Amesville, across the river
from New Orleans, and the 5000 feet
Of poor levee there is being rapidly
topped and blanketed.
In the Third district of New Or
leans increased gangs are at work,
and most of the bad stretches have
been considerably strengthened. The
new reYetments have been completed
along the most dangerous stretches,
and several hundred carloads of earth
have been placed between the levee
and the board protection.

over the floor of their home, holding

WEATHER DID NOT
KEEP DOWN ENTHUSIASM
OF OLD SOLDIERS.
Election of Officers Will Not Be Held
Until Tomorrow-Spirited Contest
the Veterans.

Macon, Ga, May 7.-Remnants of
that gray clothed army which half
century ago set the world an exam
pie of valor and self sacrifice, an
swered roll call here today in a num-
ter of peace-the annual reunion of
the United Confederate veterans.
Strange, too, these old soldiers Of
the Lost Cause were guests partly of
the flag that they fought four long
years, for they occupied tents lent by
the United States army.
Organizations of the Sons and the
Daughters, with several affiliated as
sociations, also met. Fifty thousand
visitors were here at the start, and
more were arriving on dozens of spe-
cial trains.
Frequent showers and threatening
skies failed to allay the enthusiasm of
the "boys in gray" at the formal op-
ening in Central City park or the
greetings at Camp John B. Gordon,
the tented city named in honor of
Georgia's famous leader.
OuCn OF SADNESS 7 eIrs
Underneath the surface of celebra-
tion there could be felt the touch of
sadness at the thinning out of the al
ready thin gray line" which is more
pronounced at every reunion.
Although a drizzling rain fell
throughout the night and today the
ardor and enthusiasm of the vete-
rams and their friends were not damp
ened, and when the time for the op-
ening of the convention, the auditor
ium in Central City Park was almost
packed.
The convention was called to order
by Gen. John w. Maddox OF Rome,
Ga. This was followed by prayer by
Chaplain General Cave. ...u
Sang Confederate Songs.
Several Confederate songs were
rendered by picked choir, and as
the old time airs were heard by the
veterans their eyes filled yith tears
as recollections of years long since
past no doubt surged through their
minds.
Col. Walter A. Harris of Macon;
Miss Grace Lumpkin, sponsor fcr Ma
con, and Mayor John T. Moore well
coined the veterans and visitors to
Macon. Hon. Roland Ellis delivered
the address of welcome to the Sons
of Veterans
Responses were made by Lieus.
Gen. C. Irvine Walker. Committee
appointments followed and the con-
Vention adjourned until tonight, when
the annual Grafton was delivered by
Col. Wallace Screws of Montgomery.
The various sponsors were also
presented to the convention.
Tented City is Filled.
Camp John B. Gordon, the tented
city, is filled with veterans. Despite
the combined rains the old soldiers
in the camp are well provided for.
Every tent is foored, the streets of
the camp are paved with cinders, and
the old veterans are as comfortable
as possible.
Owing to the enormous crowds here
no automobiles or vehicles are al
lowed in the camp and certain of the
principal streets of the city are roped
off for the exclusive use of pedes-
trians.
The election of officers will not
take place until Thursday morning.
There is a warm contest on for COM
mander in chief between Gen. Irvine
