Special to The Age-Herald.

Haleyvile, Jan. 24.-A personal alterca- tion between Ed. D. F. Vickory, lawyer, and Dr. J. c. Taylor occurred here this afternoon about o'clock, in which the former was shot and killed.
 vickory was indebted to Taylor, and Taylor attacked Vickory here on last Sat- urday. Vickory came to town this morn- ing for revenge, and tackled Taylor in his office, abusing and cursing him. Taylor ordered him out of his office, but he re- fused to go. Vickory having the drop on him, Taylor made his way to the door, aiming to shut him up in his office, but Vickory sprang at the door and caught it. Taylor being a very stout man, showed Vickory out of the door and closed it.
 After Taylor had elected him, Vickory returned immediately with pistol in hand trying to shoot Taylor through the win dow from the outside. Taylor being on the inside of his office, fired first, the ball striking Vickory in the right breast, from which he died in a few minutes. No post mortem examination was held

Special to The Age-Herald

Speclal to The APe-f1eralQ.
 Anniston Jan. 24-There is a dearth of ~acant dwelling houses in Anniston. The 1~al estate men of the city report that there are not a half dozen vacant dwelling houses in town. Those that are for rent are with one or two exceptions, either too large for medium sized families or too ssr out to be desirable. Every day the zeal estate men have applications that they qannot fill for houses at a medium price.
 Rents have not advanced, in spite of the increased demand for houses. The city is rapidly filling up with people who wish to locate here. Many of them are boarding until more houses are provided and some have secured flats over stores
 It is probable that new dwelling houses will be built to supply the demand. Some are now being built and others are talked of. Twenty-Five neat houses could be rented tomorrow at $1O each if they were here to rent w. NJ. Cannon, of Rome, Ga., is In the citv. and will take an inventory of the clothing stock of the late C.. A.
