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.

ALBANY, Aug. 9.—That North street j tie' LAD LEARNS WHETHER STEAM CAN HURT HIM . _ y whether scalding steam Issuing from an engine pipe of a construction plant would hurt him caused the rather pain ful injury of little Willie McNeiU, son of W. W. McNeill, to-day. The boy placed a foot on the escape pipe and the hot steam scalded the limb to the knee be fore he could remove It. should be paved before the new terminal station Is opened is the consensus of opinion of members of City Council.

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. $100,000 Fertilizer Plant Is Under Way Contractors Begin Work at Albany In Twenty-four Hours After Swift Makes Award.

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 Want Government Money to Aid in Moving Southwest Georgia Cotton Crop.

Davis, vice president of the Citizens First National Bank, has re quested L. P.

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.

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. Planters Take Lead of Project Given Up by Merchants and Former • Promoters. TIFTON.

Waltz and Swo-Step Enough for Cordele Pensacola Merchants Agree to Aid in Finding Most Profitable Marketing Points. Atlantan's Fiancee Injured in Runaway Chaperones Put Ban on Hugs, Tan gos, Trots and Other New Steps. CORDELE, Aug. 9.—The bunnv hug, tango, turkey trot and other 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.
