SMITH KILLS HIS
 SECOND CONVICT
DESPERATE NEGRO CONVICT HAS SENT TWO FELLOW-lABORE TO THEIR DOOM WITH A PICK IN SLOPE NO. 2.

For the second time Marshall Smith. alias Amos Hugly, will stand trial on d charge of murdering a felow-convict Smith is a convict in slope No ? Pratt mines. and his latest victim was jim Watkins He brained Watkins with a pick and on a warrant issued by Coroner Paris he will be brought here today for a hearing.
 In 1893 Smith killed a convict named Frank Rhodes. He brained Rhodes with a pick just as he did Watkins Thursday The trouble in both cases started the same way. Both of the dead negroes loaded coal for Smith. He objected to their work, a few angry words followed and Smith wielded the heavy pick with fatal effect.
 Smith is a desperate negro as a pe- rusal of his record will show. In 1892 he was sent up from Chambers county for Is months, having been convicted of ar son. He was arrested in Chambers coun- ty on some trivial charge and while con- fined in jail attempted to burn the building. In 1893 he killed Frank Rhodes getting 12 years added to his sentence for the crime. He served about five years and escaped.
 A negro giving the name of Hugly was arrested in Birmingham about year af- ter Smiths escape. He was first charged with disorderly conduct but when a re- volver was found on him the charge was changed to carrying concealed weapons. He was sent to the mines for six months and on the arrival there of cae supposed Hugly he was identified as Smith.
 Coroner Paris who went out to investi- gate the case, said the killing was noth- ing more than murder in cold blood.

INJUNCTION IN SANDEFUR CASE SMASHED BY COURT Supreme Bench Make a New Ruling in Cause Affect
 ing Sewerage
SANDEFUR SUED THE CITY
Alleged That His Lands Were Injured By Sewage Being Dumped Into Valley Creek-Severai
 Others Sue.

A decision of more than ordinary inter est to the city of Birmingham was the one rendered by the Supreme Court Thursday in the case of James L. Sande- fur vs. the city of Birmingham, where the court set aside an injunction rem dered by Chancellor Carmichael in the Chancery Court enjoining the city from emptying it's sewage into Valley Creek, but holding up the injunction for specified time during which the city might construct another outlet.
 Sandefur owned some property lying on Valley Creek below the city of Birming- ham, This creek is one of the natural outlets for drainage from the city. and sewage had been emptied into it. Sande- fur brought suit against the city several years ago. alleging that the city by emptying its sewage into this creek had polluted it's waters and was injuring the value of his land on account of noxious odors which arose from the stream and the poisoning of the water He asked that the city be enjoined from further using Valley Creek for a sewer outlet. and that he be awarded damages for the injury to his property. Several other suits were filed in different courts by land owners along the creek and proprietor ob- tained judgment for damages in the Circuit Court. The other suits are stiD pending.
 Issued an Injunction.
 When the Sandefur case came on for a hearing before Judge Carmichael the latter issued an injunction restraining the city from using Valley Creek as an out let for it's sewage. but holding up the in junction so as to give the city time to provide other outlets.
 The city appealed the case to the Su- preme Court claiming that Valley Creek was the natural drainage outlet for the city and that it had the right to use it for sewage The case came up to be heard in the Supreme Court and that tribunal rendered a decision affirming Chancellor Carmichael and sustaining the injunction against the city.
 Recently. however, an application was made by City Attorney Smith for re- hearing in the case which was granted by the Supreme Court and the matter was argued a second time. The result sf this hearing was that the court chang ed it's opinion and reversed its former | ruling and remanded the case for fur ther proceedings in accordance with it's decision. A copy of the decision could not be obtained yesterday and Chancellor Carmichael when seen in reference to the matter said that he could not state exactly what the effect of the decision would be until he had read its provi- sions.
 Will Benefit City.
 If the injunction is permanently set aside its present sewerage system so far as it relates to this creek and saving it the cost and delay O. constructing a new one. Had the injunction remained the city might have had a serious situation to face and one which might have result ed in great expense to the city.
 What effect this decision will have on the other suits for damages is not known un. a copy of the decision can be ob- tained

Judging from present indications the

Judge Francis D. Winston.

To the Editor: The host of friends
and supporters of Hon. Francis D. Win
ston that chivalrous, patriotic gentle
man of exalted character and scholarly
accomplishments, note with the pro-
foundest interest the glorious record
which he has made since his appoint
ment to the judicial bench.
AS has been fully demonstrated Gov
ernor Aycock made no mistake in his
appointment of Judge Winston. Among
that goodly number in this district who
could have filled the high office of judge
ship with credit, both to themselves ana
to the State. there was no one among
them through which the expression and
sanction of the people could have been
so thoroughly sounded as in the appoint
ment of Judge Winston. In point of eff
ficiency as a judicial officer, there are
few his equals, if, indeed, he has peer.
A strong man in the beginning. he has
continued to grow strong and stronger,
ever endearing himself to the hearts of
the people, until today they feel that he
is worthy of any gift at their hands.
Those who have known Judge Winston
more intimately regard him as God
fearing man. who has acted we'll his part
in all the relations of life. His clearness
and deserving judgment as lawyer;
his eloquence as an orator: his conserva-
tism and unselfishness as a statesman,
and as citizen, a man without fear of
reproach are all facts with which the
people are conversant. We, as a citizen,
should be ungrateful not to acknowledge
our appreciation of this man.
