Governor Mann is being criticized by many per sona ia the city, for his action in the case of the Aliens, t They declare that the case is nothing more than the out come of political feud, that the Al- lena'WM-e hoiinHwl and wrsecuted" hv the Republicans-of ihaj. county; tlaTgrobnrroshed back to Hubert and they were; i prosecuted on the. least of fence, goaded into desperation,- - and that the,y turned like an animal at bay. "Z never could get justice," said Floyd Allen, when told today of the decision of the governor. "I am sorry that CJaude did not let them shoot me down. My boy was merely trying to saVe my life. Now, he must lose his." That was all that the old man had to w. ' - ' ' Miss Nellie Wisler, the loyal sweet- V-irt ot Claude, went to the pemten tLiry to see the young man. She al most collasDed when their eves met. When she began to cry, Claude took hold ot .her hand, kissed it, and said lhcre, there, don t cry, little girl. Then tears welled to his own eyes. Victor . Allen - went with her to the prison, and while ie talked to his father, Miss Wisler and Claude en gaged in conversation. They talked in low tones and the guards were con siderate enough to listen as little as possible. It was a sad meeting ,a sadder parting, she goes to her moun tain home to live in loneliness, he pre pares to meet death March 28, along with his father. Now that the case of the Aliens has been finally disposed of. it is reported that Dexter Goad will be asked to face a charge of perjury, as will also three revenue orhcers- who gave testimony in the case of Claude Allen. The records and hotel registers show that the rev enue men were not at a certain place at a certain time, as they stated. Three, lawyers have gathered the evidence, which they . will present to the. grand jury at the April term of the Wythe County Circuit Court. The lawyers ' will prosecute the men when tliey are indicted. , There are many tacts in connection with the investigations of the lawyers which they will not disclose at this time, but they are said to have made a complete case against the men and will be pre pared to prove that the Aliens were convicted by reason of perjured testi mony. The cases have been held in abeyance till this time in order that the action of the governor might not be influenced.' MATERIAL ON HAND AND WORK , IS RABIDLY FORGING AHEAD.

A very important service will be held at Centenary Methodist church this morning at eleven o clock. Kev. Mr. HuJey, the pastor, will dispense with his customary Sunday morning ser mon and the hour will be given over to the problem of what the church will do tor missions. Bnel, interesting talks on the missionary enterprise will be made. It is desired to have the congregation undertake the support of a missionary and his wife at a cost of a thousand dollars a year. This would be in ad dition to what the various missionary societies are already doing for the mis sionary cause. As the membership ,ot the church is upwards of a thousand, the average per member per month' for a year, to raise the thousand dollars extra, would be only eight and a third cents. The proposition will be put betore the church in this form and it is not feared that the great step forward will not be taken. , However, the missionary committee of the church assures the membership that no undue pressure will be brought to bear on them and'that those who do not feel disposed to give will not be criticized or embarrassed in any way. A large attendance ot the members ol the church is especially desired. STEAMER HOWARD AGROUND Vessel Stuck Hard and Fast Near Seven Springs.

Surrounded" on three aides by a dense tropical growth and fronting on beautiful Biscayae Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, two miles south of Miami,' Willianv Jennings Bryan is building a winter home. It is to be completed by July ' 1, and it is the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan to return early in July ' and superintend moving into it. The site is the crest of a twenty foot cliff, the only cliff in many, miles along the shore. The shore line is ' about four rods from the cliff, and along the shore a substantial sea wall is being built of reinforced concrete. Between the cliff and the shore flow ering shrubs will be planted. "I take no credit for finding this, one of the most beautiful spots I have ever seen, said Mr. Bryan. "Mrs. Bryan found it, and I am just tryimr to improve it a little under Mrs. Bryan s direct ion. :h.- Is boss here, not I. How di.l she thvJ ' his place in the dense j::ng!i-? By persistent look ing.

Extending from the public roa I i.i the rear of the estate to the buildinc site on the brow of the cliff overlook ing the bay a beautiful drive has been hewn through the forest, and a clear ing a rod in width around the house has been made, but Mr. Bryan has for bid cutting down any more trees, wish ing to retain the native growth with its mixture of more than eighty different kinds of tree and shrubs. Nature has been helped out in a few instances by the setting out of orange, mangrove. guava and other trees, the fruit from the wild drange and similar trees not being palatable.
