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-
element.
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 bay was
driving near the building AMI, at
tracted by something, stopped for a
minute. The goat saw another in tho
window. He didn't stop to make an
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 upcn
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.

EIGHT APPOINTED TO REPRE-
SENT THIS COUNTY AT AT
80. LANTA MEETING.
Congressman 5rantley May Go to
Baltimore as a Delegate from the
State at Laree-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 %, 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-
tion.
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 Georgias 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
VIII have two votes in the convention
and 1t is probable that there will be
several candidates for the places.

activity of COL Arthur Williams, 18th
infantry, in command at Fort D. A.
Russell, Wyoming, in rounding up
freight cars for the transportation of

THREATENING WEATHER DID NOT
KEEP DOWN ENTHUSIASM
OF OLD SOLDIERS.
Election of Officers Will Not Be Held
Until Tomorrow-Spirited Contest
is on for commander-in Chief cf
the Veterans.

Macon, Ga, May 7-Remnants of
that gray clothed army which half a
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 OPP
ening in Central City park or the
greetings at Camp John B. Gordon,
the tented city named in honor of
Georgia's famous leader.
tSNSH VI 0dQHCSS = Cit
Underneath the surface of celebra-
ton 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 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 OPP
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. as
Sang Confederate Songs.
Several Confederate songs were
rendered by a 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 wei

the address of welcome to the Sons
of Veterans
Responses were made by LieuV.
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 we'll 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 az
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
