On reflection, however, I decided in view of the nation wide extent of our org^piza j tion that it would be more economi-1 cal, and equally satisfactory, to write! to you instead of telegraphing. We of the War Council are deeply! grateful to you. to your colleagues, to j the devoted men and women of local; Red Cross chapters and auxiliaries,< and to every element and individual, in your community who aided by ser-j vice and contribution. I There is nov methcd bv which wej . i can reach the legion of individuals, j organizations, churches, newspapers,! societies, banks, companies and firms j whose united effort has provided tliis | great fund for humanity, and if i tthrough your press and by other! means you can make public expres-j sion of our gratitude we shall deeply j appreciate the courtesy. Their joint | accomplishments has stirred the j pride of every American. I wish to n.Jd my personal thanks to you, and through you, to all who contributed to the splendid result.

(When they got to where the negro was they found the negro dead. That he then went immediately to town to give up. He said that he and the negro were together in bottoms cutting grass. ? CANNON G.

Sease, Jas. W. Johnson. L. M. Player, J. T. Mayes. After Mr. Wilson had come in and surrendered of his own accord and had been committed to jail as a simple matter of formality, he did not have to remain in prison any longer than it took his counsel, Mr., H. H. Blease, to accomplish his Telease, which was done quickly, as within a few hours after the return of the ver diet the prisoner \;as discharged from the custody of the sheriff. He was admitted to bail in the sum of $,1000, the bond being signed by B. W. Wilson and B. A. Havird. A number ^>f men of affluence and influence had volunteered to sign the bond. It is rumored on the street that the difficulty grew out of the world war that is now claiming the attention of all neonle. Wilson and the negro were at ?/ork in the field by themselves, when the negro remarked that when all the white men were taken away from here the negroes were going to take the white women and the property of white men and do as they pleased, with both. Wilson remarked, "You need not be so certain about this." Morgan then said, "I'll just get rid of you now," and attacked Wilson with the -grass blade.
