TRAGEDY MARKS
FAMILY MEETING
SUNDAY EVENING
CONYERS in WATERY GRAVE
Young Man is Drowned In
Swimming

Mr.. A. ]. Conyers, one of Sumter
county's best known young men and a
substantial farmer residing near De-
Soto lost his life Sunday afternoon
while, with several companions, in
cluding brothers, he went swimming
in Flint river, near Murray's Ferry.
The body was lost in the swift current
and borne away towards the Gulf by
the muddy waters. At late hour yes
terday the body, thought still sought
eagerly, had not been recovered.
The tragic death of Mr.. Conyers
created greatest distress in the neigh
borhood where he had resided during
several years and was held in highest
esteem. He was about thirty five years
of age and is survived by his young
wife and three little children.
Every possible effort to save the
drowning man was made by his com>
panions, but he was swept away by the
resistless current and lost.
Mr.. Conyefs with his family and
five brothers. joined party of friends
in a trip to the river Sunday. After
dinner several of the young men, in
cluding the several Conyers brothers,
went in swimming. The river is very
high, following the recent rains; and
the swimmers found difficulty in bat
Ting the current. Mr.. A. J. Conyers
was none too strong, following a re
cent disability, and ere he was aware
Of the fact he was being swept down
the turbid stream.
His companions made herculean eff
forts to reach him, but in vain. Soon
the body sank beneath the surface of
the yellow waters,
Mr. Conyers, with his brothers, re-
moved to Sumter county four or five
years ago from nrth Georgia, and
bought lands near DeSoto All are
men of high character, and the tragedy
of Sunday evening, resulting in the
death of one of the boys, is very great
ly deplored.
Dynamite Used in River.
Throughout Monday, anxious friends
of the unfortunate young man lined
the river banks on both the Sumter
and Dooly sides, in anxious search for
the body Of young Conyers. Dynamite
was exploded in the eddies and drag
nets used in a vain eqort to find the
remains. More than a hundred men
patrolled the banks all day, and will
continue the search this morning
covering miles Of territory down the
muddy stream.
The deceased was employed for
eighteen years in the Atlanta postoffice
prior to his removal to Americus. One
Of his five brothers is Judge Conyers
of the Brunswick circuit.

Plan of Campaign.

The opinion is held here that the reb-
els In the north from now on Will direct
their energies along two lines of cam
paign, one looking to the capture OF Tor
reon, Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes and
other towns In their path to the capital,
and the other TO the capture OF Tampico,
with Monterey and San Luis Potosl az
secondary obiecuves. The moral effect
OF the capture OF Torreon and other
towns along tho first line OF campaig Ign
would be great, but military men point
out that the strategic value OF Tampico
would be still greater as Il is the source
OF the fuel oil supply,
Railways extend from TamPico to both
Monterey and San Luis Potosi. and the
poseession OF this port would make the
direction OF the campaign against these
two towns and their subsequent oCcupa-
ton much simpler for the rebels. Gen
eral Huerta. however, is prepared TO use
all the gunboats In the gulf TO assist In
the holding OF Tampco.
The railway lines extending TO the
north, the west and the northeast Of the
capital are regarded as only second In

TEMPORARY LULL
IN THE FIGHTING

MEXICO CITY. Feb. S.-President
IIuerta has succeeded In tho past week
without much fighting. in reopcning the
lines of communication 10 Tampico and
Laredo and between Saltillo and Torrcon.
This apparent advantage Is explained 70
some extent by the fact that the rebels
nave received instructions 10 cease op-
Grating in small bands in those districts,
where they had been cutting the lines,
and join the concentration movements
near Torreon, the middle districts and
about Tampico. on the gulf coast.
The indications are that there Will be
\ lull In the military operations until the
rebels have supplied themselves with ad-

now available from the United States,
