TO BUILD A NEW TOWN.
Property Under 0ptIoH at KlnuspSrt to
Value Of S500,000

Bristol, Tenn, Aug. Is. That the
Unaka Corporation, of which George L.
Carter is president, means to undertake
the establishment of town at Kings
port, in Washington county, Va, is in
dicated not only by the fact that prac-
tically all the lands of that community
are under option, but by the further
fact that the company has given notice
to several of the property owners that
the options will be closed and the prop
critics taken over. Properties to the
value of S1OO, 900, consisting mainly in
farming lands, have been taken over,
Property under option in addition to this
has an aggregate value of about $780,
900. These purchases are being made
in view of the understanding that the
South and Western railway is to be ex-
tended from the Virginia coal fields to
the South Atlantic coast via Kingsport.
The location of the proposed town is
central point on the route of the new
railway and has the advantage of an
immense water power being on the
banks of the Holston River.

Cordele, Ca, Aug. 14.-Parties arriv-
ing on the Albany and Northern train
this afternoon bring reports of a shoot
ing affray which occurred near Oak
field eighteen miles southwest of Cor
dele this morning in which two negroes
were killed outright and three fatally
wounded by woods rider named Mails.
Malfs is a woodsman for the Oakfeld
Naval Stores Company. Telephone and
telegraph wires are down, but all
stories agree that the woodsman had
words with several negroes in their
settlement Saturday night. In conseq-
uence seven of them waylaid him as he
started on his rounds. About 8 o'clock,
while three miles east of Oakfeld he
was confronted by the negroes who
were advancing on him with clubs and
other weapons. Malfs whipped heavy
pistol from his holster and opened fire.
Two negroes dropped dead instantly
from his unerring aim and three others
fell to the ground mortally wounded.
By the time Malfs could reload his pis-
tol the other two had fled. The angry
woodman pursued them but did not
again get glimpse of them.
The coroner's jury is holding an in
quest this afternoon. 1t is not likely
that Malfs will be arrested.

Judge L. |. Lewis.

Judge Lunsford Lomax Lewis was
born in Rockingham county, Virginia.
He is a descendent of John Lewis, a
pioneer settler of the Shenandoah Val
lev, whose five sons were soldiers in the
Colonial and Revolutionary wars-the
statue of one of them, General Andrew
Lewis, being on the Washington monu-
ment at Richmond.
The eldest son, Thomas, from whom
Judge Lewis is lineally descended, long
served in the House of Burgesses, and
later was member of the Virginia con-
vention that ratified the constitution of
the United States, and in which body he
was a steadfast advocate of ratification.
Judge Lewis maternal grandfather
was the late Judge John Tayloe Lomax,
of Fredericksburg, Va.
Judge Lewis was educated at primary
schools for the University of Virginia,
and in 1867, at the age of twenty-One,
graduated in the Law Department Of
that institution. Soon after leaving the
University he removed his residence to
Culpeper county, and was there ad-
mitted to the bar. Three years after
wards he was elected Commemorative
Attorney for that county. In 1874 he
was appointed by President Grant
United States District Attorney, and
served continuously in that office until
1882, when he was elected by the Leg
islature Judge of the Supreme Court
of Appeals of Virginia, over which
tribunal he presided as President until
the 1st of January 1895, when, his term
on the bench having expired, he return
ed to the bar, and has since practiced
his profession. In 1900 he was chosen
President of the Virginia State Bar AS
sociation. In December 1902 he was
appointed by President Roosevelt
United States District Attorney. In
politics he has always been Republi-
can, although he has never held politi-
cal Office.
Judge Lewis has been twice married.
His first wife was the daughter of the
late Hon. John Minor Bolts, distin-
guished leader of the Wing Party in
ante-bellum days. Several years after
her death he married a daughter of the
late Col. R. F. Looney, of Memphis,
Tenn.
For the past twenty years he has re-
sided in Richmond
Judge Lewis has made high reputa-
tion in whatever position he has served,
and his opinions rendered while Presi-
dent of the Virginia Court of Appeals
are probably quoted with greater freq
uency than those of any other President
of that body. He is we'll known through
out the State of Virginia, and enjoys as
wide cirle of personal friends as any
other man in the State. He is strong,
able, fearless, and commands universal
admiration.
