from this same spot is concerned.
Since boyhood. he has lived on the
same farm, just half a mile away.

announced Friday morning he would
file a petition during the day for the
dismissal Of Mr.. and Mrs. John c..

session of Louise Madeline, claimed
by both sets Of parents.
The suit was set for a hearing be-
fore jury in Judge George L. Bells
court Friday, but was postponed I'M
til next week because of press of
Iother business.
In his petition for dismissal, Mr..
Austen will claim that there is no
cause for action by the Carriers that

writ of habeas corpus cannot be used

Madeline: that such a writ cannot be
converted into an equitable proceed

RECORD IS BROKEN
IN STOCK BUYING

NEW YORK, May 6.-Active and
confident buying characterized to-
days operations in the stock mar
ket, sales in the first half of the
session at gains of / to nearly 5
points approximating 10000 shares,
a new high record for the year.
The further advance of prices was
popularity attributed to overnight de-
velopments, most of which pointed
to additional improvement in many
lines of industry and general trade
conditions. Credits also moved fur
Their relaxation as shown by the re-
duction of the discount rate at south
ern centers.
Favorable forecasts by Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon and other
prominent fiscal authorities who are
generally unanimous in the belief
that the period of liquidation in the
country's affairs has ended were
among the other heartening influ-
ences of the day.
Rails were the outstanding fea-
lures of the session just as they have
been for several days past, traders
evidently expecting early adjustment
of the wage and freight rate con-
troVersy.
Steels and railway equipment
again contributed in various proper
tons with oils. Among the latter
the strength of Mexican Petroleum
was especially noteworthy in view
of its recent heaviness.
There were few weak spots in
in the list, for example American
Smelling, American Linseed and Gem
eral Asphalt, but the backwardness
of these stocks was ascribed to spe-
cific or isolated conditions.

WORLD WAR VET
HELD FOR SHOOTING

REBECCA, Ga, May 5-Dr. j. w.
ty, who served with distinction with
the British army during the world
war, is under bond of $500 on the
charge of assault and attempt to kill
Marshal r. Z. Burlington, of this
place Wednesday night.
Marshal Burlington, it is said, was
shot by DIR. McElroy during a scuffle,
after the doctor had refused to sc
home, when told to do by the mar
shall. The bullet entered the right
breast of Marshal Burlington, de-
Elected, and passed into the left side,
making only a slight wound. After
medical attention the marshal was
able to resume his duties.
Versions of the affair differ. Ac-
cording to Marshal Burlington, DR..
McElroy was drinking, and was urged
to go home, but refused. In the
tussle which ensued, DR.. McElroy
was thrown, Marshal Burlington
holding him down until the doctor
promised OF 60 home if let up. The
marshal asserts that when he let Dr..
McElroy up, the latter covered him
with a pistol and fired.
DR.. McElroy asserts that the shoot
ing was the result of an old grudge
between the two men and that the
trouble was brought on by Marshal
Burlington. He claims that the pis-
tol used was that of the marshal
and that he took the weapon from
him during the fight, using it in self
defense.
Immediately after the shooting Dr.
McElroy got in his car and drove to
the home Of Arthur Potts at Amboy,
from where he telephoned the sheriff,
telling him what had happened. He
was taken in custody by Deputy
Sheriff Alex Story and his bond fixed
at the figure mentioned.
DR.. McElroy, mentioned in the
foregoing dispatch is well known in
Atlanta. Prior Ito joining the colors
shortly after the outbreak of the
world war, he was an inferno at
Grady hospital. During the war he
was attached to the British army and
was severely gassed on one occasion.
Upon his return to the United States
after the signing of the armistice, he
did government work in New York
and it was while there that he was
one of the principals in cutting af-
fair, for which he was held blame
less.

having accepted $500 for his vote in
favor of granting a conditional par
don to man convicted of murder

oner involved is withheld.

the governor does not possess full
powers but may exercise veto in
the granting of pardons.

Orangeburg Man
On Trial for Life
In Murder Case

ORANGEBURG, S. c.. May 5.-"1
told you 1 would get you" Edward
n. Little, Greenville business man
declared, as he shot j. FL. Patterson
near here last November, according
to testimony introduced at Mittle'a
trial here today just before the state
closed it's case.
The evidence was introduced In
the form of a statement purporting
to have been made and signed by
Patterson after he was told he was
lying.
Patterson, a, drainage engineer irony
Illinois, was killed as a result OF
jealousy, according to evidence in%
troduced by the state. Mittle, who
had never been divorced from his
wife, had gone through a marriage
ceremony a few months prior to the
killing with Mrs. Starr Johnson and
later her parents had forced them to
separate, according to j. Frank Sain,
father of the woman, who was ON
the stand almost all the morning.
After the separation which Sain
said followed reports that Mittle
was not divorced from his wife from
whom he had been separated, Patter-
son began to pay attention to Mrs.
Johnson. Enmity developed between
the two men, Sain said. and this the
state claimed caused the killing.

This matter is so important and

it three weeks, and l fail to see why
the house should pass such an in-

careful consideration to the measure
and that will Require some time,
