Prominent Young Alabaman Is Ac
cused of Slaying Confederate
Veteran Near Columbus.
COLUMBUS. Aug. 9.—The fight to
save the life of Homer Carmack, a
member of one of the most prominent
families of East Alabama, from the

Carmack will be put on trial » t
Opelika, the county site of Lee Coun
tv, Alabama, on a charge of murder
ing J. J. Koike, an aged Phenlx City
merchant, on Sunday night, June 25.
The body of Folke, who was a Con
federate veteran, and who lived In
his store alone, was found early on
the morning of June 26 when cub-'
tomers went to the store to make
purchases.
At first glance it seemed that there
was absolutely no clew to the slayer
but before noon officers had succeed
ed in arresting Carmack and had
traced the greater part of an amount
which the old man had and which it
li believt d < !arma< k got to w • t
Carmack had paid debts. He was ar- ;
rested at the Union Depot in Colum- (
bus as he was preparing to leave th* ;
city.
The crime was one of the most re- !
volting ever committed in this sec- j
tion. ns the aged veteran was literally j
hacked to pieces. Indignation rtn
high for several days, but Carmack
was taken to Opelika, where he has i
been held in Jail pending his trial. ID,

prominent families in this section ills

for many years. Ho has already been .

Grade Crossing Row

Columbus City Council and Railroads
Unable to Settle Eleventh
Street Problem.
COLUMBUH. Auk 9 The Eleventh
street grade crossing, in this city, like
Banquos ghost, lias bobbed up again.
The city and railroads can not agree on
the manner in which the grade crossing

a cost estimated at $200,000, but the ;
Central of Georgia is not favorably in

would have to pay about half of the
amount Another proposition baa been j
to build an underpa u but ibis is not
considered advisable.
Mavor Chappell has been of the opln |
ion that by properly engine, ring the j
scheme, he could force the railroads to i
build It without the city being com
pelled to do its part, but it seems that
the railroads do not propose to fight
such a move.

LEESBURG, Aug. 9 The Board of
Commissioners of Lee County have
decided to build modern sand-clay
roads through the 4.000-acre tract of
land, near the Dougherty line, recent
ly acquired by the Central of Geor
gia Railroad for colonization pur
poses. The proposition was present
ed to the Lee County commissioners
by representatives of the Albany
Chamber of Commerce. This ac-tioc
is the last preliminary step in the de
velopment of this tract of land. The
railroad will divide it into small farms
to be sold to settlers from the North
and Northwest.
I The roads to be built will be about
eight miles in length. They will tra
verse the tract in various directions,
connecting with the main road be
tween Albany and Leesburg.
CORDELE, Aug. 9.—The delay in
getting the streets of Cordele paved,
for which $40,000 of bonds were voted
fourteen months ago, may be pro
longed by a complication which is
expected to arise over making the
street gradings to provide this im
provement. The total amount to be
expended for street paving is $120,000,
of which $80,000 Is to be paid by the
property holders.
It appears that because of the lack

the proper grade, which work, the
Bond Commission claims, is already

ALBANY, Aug. 9.—That North street

walk was moved out to the center of
the street to make room for the tracks.
The ijew compress north of town was

old plant abandoned. The tracks have

Movement to Take Albany Out of
Present Judicial Circuit Will
Come Up Again.
ALBANY, Aug. 9.—That the move
ment to take Albany out of the Al
bany Judicial Circuit was not entire
ly abandoned when Senator For*!
withdrew his county removal bill
from the Senate has become quite ap
parent since that time by the discus
sion of those who attended the com
mittee hearing in favor of the bill
among other friends of the movement
here.
A plan is now on foot w’hereby an
effort will be made to create a new
superior judgeship for Doughertv
County alone, the idea being to abol
ish the City Court of Albany, ani
have the new court judge tt> do the
work of both courts.
Those who favor the movement
contend that Albany is large enouga
now to have a court of its own.
It is argued that Albany and
Dougherty County have enough court
business to justify such a move. It
is proposed, in the event this plan
meets with favor among the people of
Albany, that a bill to create the new
judgeship be introduced in the Legis
lature at its next «sion, as there id
hardly time to perfect the plans ant
get such a bill through at the present
session.
It would be necessary to have a a
election, or at least a petition signed
by a majority of the voters of ths
county, and that also will require con
siderable tlnie.
