CUMMINGS SHOT
 BY NEGRO BURGLAR Elderly North Birmingham Man Probably Fatally Injured NEGRO ENTERED HIS STORE Demanded Mans Money and When MT. Cummings Attempted To Get
 Pistol He Was Shot In
 Neck and Shoulder.
ENTERED HIS STORE

J. A. Cummings, an old gentleman about 65 years old who runs store in the vii cinity between North Birmingham park and Sayreton, was shot and very probably fatally wounded late yesterday afternoon by negro hghwayman, who was at tempting to rob the store.
 From the information received it seems that MT. Cummings was preparing to close up his store yesterday evening shortly before o'clock when the negro came into the place pretending he want ed to purchase something When an op- portunity presented itself, it seems, the negro drew a pistol and was in the act of leveling on the storekeeper when he ran into the living room in the rear of the store.
 MT. Cummings hastily procured a pis- tol in the living room and went back into the store. evidently supposing the negro had started out. Just as he stepped into the store the negro fired two shots at him. One of the bullets took effect in the throat, cutting the windpipe in two, and the other entered the right shoulder
 Upon firing the shots the negro ran out of the store. There was a little boy in the place at the time of the shooting and he immediately ran out and gave the alarm. As soon as it was possible blood hounds were sent to the scene from the sheriff's office and the negro's trail was taken up.
 The negros trail was followed for some distance and ended at a house in the vii cinity of Graves mines. In the house the deputies found negro who gave his name as John Thomas, and who was ar rested and placed in the county jail on "a charge of murder
 The police also have a negro in custody who is suspected of the crime Shortly after o'clock last night the police were notified that if they would meet the first North Birmingham car coming into town they could catch the negro who murdered MT Cummings. Officers Burge, Nation and Justin met the car and placed under arrest Stafford Wright, who was described as the negro who had committed the outrage. He is in the city jail
 At St. Vincent's hospital last night 1t was learned that MT. Cummings was very badly wounded. It was stated that there is a possibility of saving his life, but owing to his age the wounds are con- sidered dangerous. Mr. Cummings is very well known in North Birmingham vicinity, having lived there for num- Der of years.

City Court Judge c. c. Nesmith, presd- ing in the chancery division of the court, issued an injunction yesterday restrain ing City Tax Collector George Eustis and other agents of the city from selling cer- tain property in Norwood for street i'm provement assessments.
 On the complaint of John W. Anderson and 40 other property holders the action of the court was taken. The bill of com plaint charges, among other things, that the expense of constructing a sewer is included in the improvement assessment and that notice of the building of tho sewer did not appear in Birmingham newspaper, as required by law. It is all legged that the petitioners appealed to the circuit court, that the clerk failed to bring the books of the city into the courts, and that the circuit court de- clined to bring the transcript in the case to the city court.
 The text of Judge Nesmith's restraining order reads as follows ,r
 ''The bill of complaint in the 2 cause. being read and considered, it> ordered, adjudged and decreed that upon complaints entering into a bond of 5000, payable and conditioned according to law. that a preliminary writ of injunction be issued restraining the said city of Bir- mlngham acting through any of its agents, and the said George Eustis from selling complainants' property

Urges Ebery0ne To WYlte
 Letters On Amendment

'If the people of Birmingham merely do their duty" said W. B. Leedy last night there will be no danger of the Ragsdale new county amendment pass ing. A personal appeal to every friend should be made by the local business men, and beyond a doubt if their friends find them concerned and their interest at stake, the piece of two faced legislation will be voted down as it sh ou1d be.
 This appeals especially to the real estate men of the city. I have seen a number of them and all are opposed to the law If they would just get busy and write their friends through out the state, urge their clients to vote against it. and make a quiet fight, they would do unlimited good.
 This piece of legislation is so de- cidedly damaging that I can hardly see any room for argument. It Is against all principles of democracy, and gives a few men power over the property and personal freedom of

A case unique in the records of the country. it is believed as exemplifying the lasting mutual regard of the old southern planter and his slave. was brought to light yesterday when Maj J. C. Randall accompanied by Alex Patrick, registered at one of the local hotels.
 Major Randall was accompanied to his room by Patrick, and the old negro served him in trifling ways throughout the day The two together attracted attention. Major Randall is a typeal -bellum southern planter, though the frost has made his hair white and the years robbed his cheek of its ruddy glow. Patrick is a typical ante-bellum slave with his high regard for the white arlstoeracy and mate knowledge of the proper methods of department.
 Major Randall is a wealthy planter of Cochrane, south Alabama, and when ap- preached he freely discussed the affairs of himself and his servant
 Patrick has followed me- he stated. "snce I was a mere lad. I entered the service of the Confederacy at the age

COMMITTEE GOES
 OVER NEW ROUTE

There was another session of the stand ing committee of the city council yester- day afternoon, at which, it is stated, noth- ing save routine matters was considered.
 The committee, as is remembered, was appointed for the purpose of finding out what aid and assistance the various de- partments of the municipal government need in view of the acquisition of new territory under the Greater Birmingham bill.
 It was the work of this committee which caused the adoption of ordinances at the last meeting of the council provid- ing for the election of a general book keeper of the city, and assistants to the plumbing and building inspector.
 Inasmuch as the territory of the city will be increased from six to 4S miles when the Greater Birmingham bill is a reality, it is seen that every department of the city government will need in- creased forces. The committee is a stand ing one, and, 1t is stated. will have in- numerable sessions before the situation is cleared.

 After the war Alex positively refused the freedom offered him, and he has been my body servant since. Although he is but nine years my junior and while there is no doubt but that l could outrun him in foot race, he is earnest in his belief that it is necessary that he be with me in Birmingham as a source of protection.
 Major Randall stated that Alex is con- sidered one of the family and that the young generations of Randalls are greatly attached to the old and disniied servant The major admitted too, that he would hardly know what to do were Alex not perpetually with him.
 This Is Major Randalls s hrst visit to Birmingham, although he is a well-known figure in Montgomery and other south Alabama cities He is B years of age, is the head of a large and prominent south Alabama family and a veteran statesman himself.
