cused of Slaying Confederate
Veteran Near Columbus.
COLUMBUS. Aug. 9.—The fight to
save the life of Hornet 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 on
the morning of June 26 when cus
tomers went to the store to make
purchases.
At first glance it seemed that the"e
was absolutely no clew to the slayer,
but before noon officers had succeed
ed in arresting earmark and had
traced.the greater part of an amount
which the old man had and which it
is believed Carmack got to whei/
Carmack had paid debts. He was ar
rested at the Union Depot in Colum
bus as he was preparing to leave the
city.
The crime was one of the most re
volting ever committed in this sec
tion. as the aged veteran was# literally
hacked to pieces. Indignation rtn
high for several days, but Carmack
was taken to Opelika, where he has
been held in Jail pending his trial. Hr
belongs to one of the oldest and ino3t
prominent families in thla section, bis
father having been a county official
for manv years. He has already been
Indicted' and able counsel has been
employed to represent him.
Grade Crossing Row
Continues to Bob Up
Columbus City Council and Railroads
Unable to Settle Eleventh
Street Problem.
COLUMBUS. Aug 9.—The Eleventh
street grade crossing, in this city, like
Banquos ghost, has bobbed up again.
The city and railroads ran not agree on
the munner in which the grade crossing
ran be eliminated A proposition bus
been submitted for building a viadurt at
a cost estimated at $1100,000, but the
Central of Georglu la not favorably in
clined to the proposition, because it
would have to pay about half of the
amount Another p-oposltlon has been
to build an underuu. *. but this is not
considered advisable.
Mayor Chappell has been of the opin
ion that by properly engineering the
scheme, he could force the railroads to
build it without the city being com
polled to do its part, but It seems that
the railroads do not propose to fight
such a move.

$40,000 in Bonds Has Already
Been Voted for Improvement,
but Complications Arise.
CORDELE, Aug. 9. -The delay in
getting the streets of Cordele pavec,
for which $40,000 of bonds were voted
fourteen months ago, may be pro
longed by a complication which 13
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 la 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
I he streets several years ago will
i nusc the new grades to work a hard
ship on the property holders. It 19
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 »ev-
eral feet.
The 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.
LAD LEARNS WHETHER
STEAM CAN HURT HIM
AMI3RICUS. Aug. 9.—Curiosity as to
whether scalding steam issuing from an
engine pipe of a construction plant
would hurt him caused the rather pain
ful injury of ill tie Willie McNeill, son of
W \Y 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.

Commissioners of Lee County have

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 actiou
is the lust preliminary step in the de
velopment of this tract of land. The
railroad will divide it Into small farms

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.
Want Street Paved
At Albany Station
Councilmen Urge Improvement Be
fore New Depot Is Opened—Now
Unsightly Thoroughfare.
ALBANY, Aug. 9.—That North street
should be paved before tlie new terminal
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

by a Columbus manufacturer is that of
the Columbus iron Works Company, one i
of the largest concerns of the kind in !

freight rate on three cars of plow points
to Tyler, Texas, than was charged on
the same class of goods from Wfimlflg- j
ton. Del . to Tyler.

be that the entire matter will be al- i
lowed to drop.

MOTHER-IN-LAW; TROUBLE;
SLAPPING; DIVORCE SUIT

mother in-law was a disrupting ele
ment in the marital affairs of .Mrs.
Emma E. Chance and R. E. Chance,
who have projected their disagree
ment into the divorce branch of the
Chatham Superior Court.
The suit is filed by the wife. One
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
her while her mother-in-law slapped
iter for some alleged dereliction of
wifely duties.
Waltz and Swo-Step
Enough for Cordele
Chaperones Put Ban on Hugs, Tan
gos, Trot6 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 Be.:
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 positive!? 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.

FTFTON, Aug. 9.—Tift County tax
returns for the present year show an
increase of $57,357 over the returns

by Tax Receiver George W. Fletcher.

and Dosia, show a decrease,
will be cleared in four days.

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.

of keeping close tab on the work that

to see that money appropriated and
spent is used to the best advantage,
President J. A. Davis, of the Albany

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 Ford
withdrew his county removal bid
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 VI
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, an i
have the new court judge to do tho
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 M
hardly time to perfect the plans and
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 th«*
county, and that also will require con
siderable time.

PENSACOLA, Aug. 9.—At an en
thusiastic meeting of farmers of the
Roberts-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.
