Prominent Young Alabaman Is Ac
cused of Slaying Confederate
Veteran Near Columbus.
$40,000 in Bonds Has Already
Been Voted for Improvement,
but Complications Arise.
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
gallows will begin Tuesday.
Carmack will be put on trial *t
Opelika, the county site of Lee Coun
ty. Alabama, on a charge of murder
ing J. J. Folke. 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 nn
the morning of June 26 when cus
tomers w'ent 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 w’hlch It
1b believed Carmack got to whei/
Carmack had paid debts. He was ar
rested at the Union Depot In Colum
bus m» he was preparing to leave the
city.
The crime was one of the most re- i
volting over committed in this sec- |
tlon. as the aged veteran was literally
backed to pieces Indignation ran
high for several days, but Carmack
was taken to Opelika, where he has i
been held In jail pending his trial. He;
belongs to one of the oldest and most
prominent families in thia section, his
father having been a county official
for many years. He has already been
Indicted' and able counsel has been
employed to represent him.
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
of proper Judgment of a former city
engineer in setting out the grades for
the streets several years ago will
cause the new grades to work a hard
ship on the property holders. It i9
claimed that if the grades are made
according to present plans, some side
walks will have to be raised, while
others will have to be lowered by sev
eral feet.
he Streets Committee of the City
Council was named at a recent meet
ing of that body to act with Mayor
Harder in getting a profile showing
the proper grade, which work, the
Bond Commission claims, is already
being carried on by their engineer.
Grade Crossing Row
Continues to Bob Up
Columbus City Council and Railroads j
Unable to Settle Eleventh
Street Problem.
COLUMBUS. Aug. 9. The Eleventh
street grade crossing, in this city, like
Banquo’s ghost, has bobbed up again.
The city and railroads cart not agree on
the manner In which the grade crossing
can be eliminated A proposition has
been submitted for building h viaduct ut
a cost estimated at $200,000, hut the
Central of Georgia is not favorably in
clined to the proposition, because it
would have to pay about half of the
amount. Another proposition has been
to build an underpass, but this Is not
considered advisable.
Mayor Chappell lias been of the opin
ion that by properly engineering the
scheme, he could force the railroads to
build it without the city being com
pel led to do Its part, but it seems that
the railroads do not propose to fight
pu-gi a move.
Manufacturers Say
Roads Act Unfairly
Columbus Brick Makers Appeal to
Railroad Commission, Charging
Discrimination.
COLUMBUS. Aug 8.—A number of
local brick manufacturers and dealers
have filed complaints with the State j
Railroad Commission, alleging that the j
railroads of Columbus are discriminating {
against them to the injury of their busl- ;
ness September 2 has been named by
the commission for the manufacturers to
present the!/ argument.
Another case of alleged discrimination
by a Columbus manufacturer Is that of
tin* Columbus Iron Works Company, one :
of tlie largest concerns of the kind in
the South, which alleges that the com
pany has been forced to pay a higher
freight rate on three ears of plow points j
to Tyler, Texas, than was charged on
the same class of goods from Wilming
ton, Del., to Tyler.
Lee County to Build
Colony Tract Roads
Eight Miles of Highways To Be
Constructed Through Central of
Georgia Property.
LEESBURG, Aug. 9.—The Board of
Commissioners of Lee County have
decided to build moSern sand-clay
roads through the 4.000-acre tract of
'.and, 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 actios
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.
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.

station Is opened is the consensus of
opinion of members of City Council.
The Atlantic Compress Company some
years ago was allowed to build side
tracks in North street and the side
walk was moved out to the center of
the street to make room for the tracks.
The new compress north of town was
completed almost a year ago, and the.
old plant abandoned. The tracks have
been removed, but the city has never
moved the sidewalk or graded the street
as it should be.

Victims of Cairo Tragedy in Hos
pital at Thomasville Anxious
to Return Home.
THOMASVILLE, Aug. 9.—The two
Boddiford girls, Mary and Rhoda who
were among the victims of the at
tack of the negro Ed LeConte near
Cairo last week, are still here at the
City Hospital and are Improving.
Both girls when brought here had
high temperatures and their condition
seemed serious, but it is believed now
that they will recover and be able
shortly to return home.
Mary, the older girl, whose nose
was* partly cut off. will, of course,
suffer from some disfigurement. She
also lost six fro.it teeth and had some
slight scalp wounds.
Rhoda, the young girl, who suffered
a severe scalp wound and was con
sidered in a more serious condition
than her sister, is also recovering.
Both are very anxious to get back
to their parents and the young chil
dren that they feel need their care.
Reports from the bedside of Mr.
and Mrs. Boddiford, at Cairo, show
them still holding their own, but with
no certainty of recovery. The skulls
of both have been trepanned and upon
the outcome of the operation within
the next few days will depend their
chances for recovery. The younger
children are being cared 1 or by some
of their neighbors.
Albany Bankers Ask
Part of $50,000,000

Cotton Crop.
ALBANY, Aug. 9.—That the Al
bany banks should receive a portion
of the $50,000,000 Government money j
that is to be placed for the market- I
ing of cotton in the South is the gen
eral feeling among Albany bankers.
Two banks here are United States
depositories and are called upon to
furnish money for the marketing of !
cotton several weeks earlier than the ;
banks in Macon, Atlanta and Savan- j
nah.
J. S. Davis, vice president of the
Citizens First National Bank, has re
quested L. P. Hillyer, president of the
Georgia Bankers' Association, to |
make a personal appeal to the proper
authorities in Washington for a por
tion of this money to be used in

$57,357 Increase in
Tift County Returns
Tax Receiver Fletcher Finds 6,000
Acres of Land Not on
the Books.
Snap Bean Farming
On Big Scale Planned
FIFTON, Aug. 9.—Tift County tax
returns for the present year show an
increase of $57,357 over the returns
of last vear. Figures were compiled
by Tax Receiver George W. Fletcher.
Three districts. Chula. Omega and
Eldorado, show increases, while five
Tifton, Tyty, Brookfield, Brighton
and Dosla, show a decrease,
will be cleared in four days.
An Interesting fact concerning the
returs was that nearly 6,000 acres of
unreturned land were found by the
tax receiver and placed upon the
books. This in part accounts for the
increase in returns. The increase in
1912 was $15,945. i
AD BULETINS— t XV $
Farmers Organize
For Tift County Fair
ALBANY. Aug 9.—That the move
ment to take Albany out of the Al
bany Judicial Circuit was not entire
ly abandoned when Senator Ford
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 whereby an
effort will be made to create a new
superior Judgeship for Dougherty
County alone, the Idea being to abol
ish the City Court of Albany, and
have the new court judge to do the
work of both courts.
Those who favor the movement
contend that Albany Is large enougn I
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 ~'>ssion, as there is
hardly time to perfect the plans an-1
get such a bill through at the present
session.
It would be necessary to have an
election, or at least a petition signed
by a majority of the voters of the
county, and that also will require con
siderable time.

TIFTON. Aug. 9.—At a meeting

year was discussed and with great
enthusiasm. Permanent organization
was effected and the matter will be
pushed by the farmers. .
The fair association which has lost
money on two fairs held In Tifton
was unwilling to undertake another
and as the merchants were slow
about raising the money, the farmers
took the matter in their own hands.

threats.

physician was hurriedly summoned.
Her condition was very grave, hut
the doctor succeeded in arousing her
from the stupor. It is believed to
day that she will recover.

Emma E. Chance and R. E. Chance,
who have projected their disagree
ment inio the divorce branch of the

of her grounds of complaint Is that
her husband forced her to allow his

wasn't the worst of It. She charges
that her husband on one occasion held

CORDELE, Aug. 9.—The bunnv

modern dances are entirely too im
modest in the opinion of the fair se.:
of Cordele who are accustomed to the
waxed floors. Like the slit skirt,
such dances will probably not come
in popular favor at any early time
in this city.
Chaperons at local balls recently
have positively forbidden the new
dances, and the young folk, no mat
ter how ardently, but perhaps se
cretly, they may desire to introduce
them, must let the waltz and two-
sten still suffice.
LATE REGISTRATION FOR
LABORERS TO QUALIFY
PENSACOLA, Aug. 9.—At an en
thusiastic meeting of farmers of the
Roborts-Gonzales community, this
county, last night, at which experts
made addresses, it was decided that
an experiment will be made In the
cultivation of snap beans on a large
scale In that locality. Several farm
ers agreed to plant a certain number
of acres each on the co-operative plan
and ship to Northern markets. The
crop will be planted during the pres
ent month. Business men of this city
agreed to aid the farmers in securing
a market.
It is thought that this will prove
one of the most successful crops for
this section, as experts say the soil
Is peculiarly adapted and that cli
matic conditions are Ideal.

Farmers who have finished fodder
| pulling have begun on their hay eut-

] one. In view of tlm high prices of
Western hay the rarmers in this sec-
i tion have devoted more time and land
