COMING FROM THE NORTH And Settling in the BaImy
 Southland. A PARTY HERE YESTERDAY One of the Members Gives His Opinion of Disadvantages to Working Men in the
 Oyercrowded Northern Cities.

There has been a heavy passenger traffic from the north to points in South Alabama and Georgia the last few days. Yesterdays southbound Louisville and Nashville train due here about a. m. ar rived in two heavy sections filled with home seekers, most of them bound for points in Southern Georgia.
 Other roads are also handling number of these homeseekers from the north and locating them in South Alabama and South Georgia colonies.
 The only mistake, it is claimed, these colonists are making is in not stopping in North Alabama. This section equals in fertility the famous black belt of South Alabama and permits a greater diversity of crops. Besides being the garden spot that it is, this section affords especial ad- vantages in the cheapness of its fuel and other commodities of life.
 The railroads offer special rates to pros- pective settlers in the south, to come to this section and investigate its advantages. They place these tickets on sale about twice month, beginning the first of Jan uary, until the middle of April Thous- ands take advantage of the low rates to come and look the country over and later on to establish their homes.
 An Age-Herald reporter saw a number of these homeseekers passing through Bir- mingham and asked them something of their plans, and why they had left the north.
 l.. B. Satter, one of tLe party, said that this particular crowd were going to South Georgia, near Fitzgerald. All of them will follow agricultural pursuits, because the country is not sufficiently developed to en- courage any manufacturing enterprises The town of Fitzgerald contains about B. 900 inhabitants, nearly all of them being northern settlers.
 MT. Satler said that the north was over crowded and that the south presented the best field for settlers. Near Dayton, O., from which city he came, almost all the land was under cultivation and was too valuable for any except rich man to buy.
 In the cities there are fifteen or twenty applicants for every vacant position, which of necessity causes the salaries paid to be very low. In the factories machCnes which can be operated as easily by wo- man or girl, take the place of five or six able bodied men. In fact, in all the facto- ries he claims the women and girls are crowdng the men and boys out.
 Then the people of the north are over taxed as compared with the south. MT. Satler said that Dayton was beautiful, well governed city, but it took heavy taxes to pay for it, and that man who owned his home up there was not much better off than a man who did not.
 Railroad Personals.
 Whit Collier, of Atlanta, commercial agent for the Illinois Central is in the city.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
Tom Bagner, Negro, Thought to Have At-
 tempted Suicide.
Special to The Age-Herald.


 Decatur, Jan. 19.-The yard hoster of the Louisville and Nashville railroad was startled this morning while going to his work in the yards just before o'clock by the loud report of pistol. Noticing smoke emerging from the sand house, he at once ran there and found the house inside so thick with smoke and sand that he could see nothing. He went away to attend to his duties, supposing the noise was occa- stoned by a torpedo some one had thrown in there and thought no more of the mat ter for some time.
 Returning to the sand house after a time, he was surprised to find a negro named Tom Bagner lying upon the floor with a large bullet wound in his head, the bullet being from a A-calibre Colts pistol. The negro was apparently nearly dead, and could barely speak but managed to say that he had been shot accidentally while monkeying with his gun, and did not know how the pistol came to go off. The pistol belonged to another negro named Chas. Ross.
 It is believed by good many that Bag ner tried to kill himself; others say he was in a crap game with other negroes and was shot by one of them while rowing over the game. There is some mystery in the affair and it is being investigated. Both Bagner and Ross are employees of the railroad.

SEAMLESS SHOES
Cause Legal Warfare Between Two Montgonn-
 cry foot Wear Dealers.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Jan. 19.-The two leading shoe merchants of the city have an inter esting tangle on. Alfred A. Kohn has filed an injunction against James P. Bullock seeking to restrain the latter from selling a seamless shoe which the former claims to have invented and patented. Kohn claims to have several years ago invented the shoe and to have had Bannister, the shoe manufacturer, make quantities of them for him. They took with the people, he insists, and Bullock had his connec- tions, the Nettletons, to make for him a quantity of the seamless shoes.
 Since that time, plaintiff alleges, Bullock has sold hundreds of pairs, to plaintiffs s detriment, and he therefore seeks to en- join him from selling any more, to make him pay plaintiff damages and to answer for an infringement of the United States patent laws. The injunction was filed in the federal court by attorneys Sanford 6 San ford.

DEATH PENALTY IMPOSED Bill Scott Will Be Hanged Feb
 ruary %. JURY OUT TWENTY MINUTES The Murderer Was Placed on the Stand and Told the Story of His Fiendish Crime,
 Implicated Others.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Greensboro, Jan. 19.-The court house was crowded today with people to hear the trial of Bill Scott On last Wednesday Scott was arraigned and pleaded guilty; today was set for the trial of the case when the jury had only to hear the testimony and impose the penalty. It took about two hours to em- without argument and the jury retired to make up their verdict.
 In twenty minutes they returned into court. The verdict was guilty and the penalty death. The court sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on the 18th of Feb ruary. Bill Scott was placed on the stand and told all the circumstances of the kill ing of the Singley family, which varied but little from the published accounts, except that he implicated three other negroes, one of whom he said knocked Singey senseless with a stick and then Scott cut his throat. After Singley had been induced by Bill to go with him about one hundred yards from the house, the other two negroes killed Mrs. Singley and her son and robbed the house of the money, a portion of which was given to Scott, and found near his house by two persons, who had been told by Bill where it was when he was in jail at Selma.
 The citizens don't believe Scott's story on the three negroes, who, it is said, can prove an alibi. During the trying ordeal Bill was cool and collected.
