Umoii station at Macon about five
j o’clock Sunday morning.
1 he ball, which entered just
above the heart and glanced down
| war( l to the small of the back, pro¬
duced death a few hours later at
the city hospital where the young
man had been carried for medical
attention.
It is stated that Davis was drink
in? and was acting in a disorderly
manner in the waiting room of the
depot, making it very unpleasant
for the lady occupants, when
Special officer Burganjy attemped
to interfere. Davis is said to have
resisted the officer and secured
possession of Burgatnv’s club in
the scuffle, and proceeded to use
i on the officer’s head with serious
results. By this time the i\zht
had been shifted to the opposit
side of the street, when officer
jGiiffin of Davis approached the of and inquired
cause the distur¬
bance. Davis then turned upon
Griffin and and struck him several
blows with the club which he had
taken from the other officer. Stun¬
ned ly the blows administered by
| Davis, Offi cer Griffin staggering
I back a few steps drew his pistol
I and fired once into the body of
Davis who fell with a groan.
Griffin was exonerated by the
coroner’s jury.
After the inquest the remains
were removed from the hospital to
an undertaking establishment.
The remains were carried to Nevv
boru Monday afternoon and laid to
rest in the family burying ground
Tuesday morning in the presence
of many sympathizing friends. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. F. L. Smith of Newborn.
I The deceased is survived by his
: father, three brothers aud four
; sisters.
Joe Davis was well known all
over Newton county and bore the
reputation ct a good citizen. He
was perhaps better known in Jas
per county, where he has lived the
greater part of his life. Judge A.
8. Florence* ordinary of Jasper
county, said in rererence to Davis’
official connection with Jasper
county as convict guard: ‘He was
brave and did well the task assign¬
ed to him. We always looked up
on him as u straightforward, up
right citizen and his death will be
‘deeply deplored, ) ?

COVINGTON’S NEW BANK
PERFECTS ORGANIZATION.
—__
Capital Stock Was Increased to
$31,000—Many Citizens
Wanted Stock.
At a meeting of thirty or forty
representative business men of
Covington and Newton county held
in the court house Tuesday after¬
noon, the organization of a compa¬
ny for the establishment of another
bank for this city was effected.
" hen it was announced last week
that such a movement was on foot
applications for stock in the new
enterprise began coming in from
every quarter. The original inteu
tion of the promoters was to capi¬
talize the bank at $25,000. but this
amount was found to be too small
to include all * 5 o had applied for
stock at Tuesday’s meeting it was
decided to raise the capital stock
to $31,000, and with this amount a
charier will be applied for at once
and all arrangements made to have
the bank in operation by the 1st of
January, 1905.
The following will be the officers
of the new bank: T. C. Swann,
president; T. A. Perry, vice presi
dent; A. B. Simms, cashier. Di
rectors: -N. S. Turner, Edwaid
Heard, G. C. Adams and J. W.
King.
A better selectiou of officers
could scarcely have been made.
T. C. Swann, T. A. Perry aud N.
S. Turner are real captains of in
dustry and the other officers are
successful business men, having
theco-Sdence of |h, people gencr.
ally, ibis excellent set of officers
alone insure the success of
concern from the start.
While there are two other banks
here, both doing a splendid busi¬
ness, there is plenty of room for a
third one, the rapid development
of the city along commercial lines
and the increased prosperity
throughout this section creating
demand for greater banking facili¬
ties.
