PRIMARY IS ORDERED
COLUMBUS COMMITTEE CALLS
 ELECTION NOV. 70.
Mayor Chappell Probably win Have no Opposition, hut there are Many Who Desire tO be
 Aldermen

Columbus, Ga. Oct. 23-(special.)--- The city executive committee has ordered primary for November 2s at which mayor and eight aldermen will be selected. The plan of white pri- maries was inaugurated here a few years ago, by both the city and county, and has resulted in the practically com piete elimination of the negro vote.
 Formerly the buying up of the negro vote was big item with candidates for office in this city and county, for if Russell County Politics.
 While the county primary in Russell county, Alabama, Is few months off, It Is already being discussed with in- terest in that county and in Columbus, where the people are keenly interested In Alabama politics. Russell County will furnish this time the Senator from the Senatorial District composed of Lee and Russell Counties. It has been remured that Judge E. 1T. Glenn, of Scale, and J. M. Holt. of Girard might be candidates. but 1t Is not known that either will run. No legislative candf- date has yet announced, There are two candidates for sheriff of Russell County, Judge W. A. L. Tucker. of Scale. and Pal M. Daniel, of G!rard
 candidate did not buy the vote his opponent would. The regular elections in this city and county are mere for malities, the primary always settling the matter. Only about twenty-five negroes have registered for the city election.
 Mayor Chappell will probably have no opposition for reelection, but there will probably be several aldermanic candi- dates.

Adler went to the woman's house Friday afternoon. She was away from home at the time and an entrance was made through a window.
 After getting into the house the front door was opened and the furniture was put on a wagon and carried to Adler 2 store. The woman returned home later and when she found the furniture gone she swore out a warrant against MT. Adler charging him with burglary, she alleging that s4 and set of china had also been taken. fes
 The case came up in police court this morning. It was proven that MT. Adler had taken out the necessary papers to get his goods. but Mayor Atkins said he thought Adler had acted rather hastily in entering the house in the woman's absence. All of the witnesses in the case testified that they had seen no money or china while they were in the house and MT. Adler was discharged.

W. 7. Bryant Killed on Railroad
Above City.
POLICE INVESTIGATING CASE
Death Seems TO Have Been Acciden-
tai, But Some circumstances Give
Ground For Suspicion of Foul Play
mo Robbery Committed.

With a great hole in his head, Will
liam Il. Bryant. an old farmer who
lived en- the Briarfield road several
miles above this city, was found dead
beside the Chesapeake 4 Ohio railway
tracks at point opposite Fifty-fourth
street early Sunday morning. Several
employees of the railroad made the
shaslly discovery soon after daylight
Although there seems to be every
reason to believe that The cid man
was accidentally killed by falling and
striking his head against the end of
Il railroad tie. some of the circum-
stances connected with the case make
1t possible to think that he was n vic
tim Of foul play. Chief of Police Rey-
nolds, with the assistance of the Blood.
field authorities, is making n thorough
investigation of the case. but up 10
this time has been unable to discover
anything TO warrant him in making an
arrest.
When the body was found IL was mp.
parent that life had been extinct for
several hours, the wound on the heal
being of such nature that it probably
caused instant death. The railrtsN1
men who made the riscovery reported
1t to Police Officer Harry Mess, who
M once communicated with the station.
DR.. j. w. Ayler, the city physician,
went 10 the scene and examined the
corpse. He expressed the opinion that
death had been caused by fall. The
contents Of the mans pocket had not
been disturbed. SO there seems to sa
no ground for robbery theory.
AS the body was found in Warwick
county. the Bloodiield authorities took
charge of il and an inquest was con-
dncted b. Justice Henry +. Jones and
Chief of Police Williamson The Jury
found verdict 10 the effect that the
deceased came to his death by acct
dent. The remains were then turned
eyer to the family.
Funeral services were held yester.
| dny afternoon nj tho late home Of the
deceased, Rev J. w. Porter D. d..
officiating. The interment was made
at Grcenlawn cemetery.
Mr.. Bryant has three grown sons
living In this city and he spent SAT
nrtay with them. 1t is said that he
started home late Saturday night in
an intoxicated condition. He had az
most reached the point at which &c
would have left the railroad track for

The deceased was 80 years old and
served throughout the Civil war with

For number of years he was a fore.
man for the Norfolk and Western I'll.

and began TO operate n small truck
farm above this city. He is survived by
