CARMACK SLAIN BY
POLITICAL ENEMY
Gifted IenneSSeedn Martyr
To Principle

NASHVILLE, TENN, Nov. 9.-(Spe-
ciaD -Ex Senator E. w. Carmaek, ed
itor of the Nashville Tennessean, was
shot and killed late this afternoon by
Duncan Cooper and his son Robin
Cooper. The killing occurred on the
street. Cooper accosted Carmack ii
regard TO editorial attacks made on
him in the Tennessean. Pistols were
brought into play and Carmack was
shot to death. Intense excitement
has been produced in the city and all
over the state by the dastardly deed.
Since Senator Carmack made his
unsuccessful primary race against
Patterson, he has been editor of the
Nashville Tennessean, which is a
strong prohibition paper 1t was
charged by Senator Carmack that
Patterson, Cooper and the liquor men
had defrauded the people out of their
rights in the manner of selecting del
egates to the state Democratic con-
vention. These exposures incensed
Cooper. as his name was frequently
mentioned in the broadsides of the
Tennessean.
1t is predicted that the killing of
Senator Carmack will give a great
impetus to the cause of state wide
prohibition, as the people will be SO
stirred up over the killing that the
saloon men will be overwhelmed.
Senator Carmack began his public
life by an election to the legislature
in 1884, and two years later joined the
editorial staff of the Nashville Amer
lean, becoming its editor-in-chief. In
1901 he became editor of the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal He served two
terms in Congress and was elected to
the United States Senate to succeed
Senator TurLey He was defeated in
1907 by Robert l.. Taylor Recently
he ran against Gov. Patterson on a
prohibition platform for Governor, but
was defeated. He was at once tender
ed, and accepted, the position of edi-
tor-in-chief of the Nashville Tennes-
sean.

NEW PLANT
HUMMING
Big Boilers Are
Being Placed
l5O-FOOt Stack Has Start
ed Skyward.

Inside the big brick building along
the Central of Georgia Railroad
which will house the engines, dyna-
mos and machinery of the Americus
Railway & Light Company is a scene
of activity.
In ore of the two big rooms into
which the building is divided are be-
ing put up two huge boilers. Just
outside the smoke-stack, to be $50
feet high, is being welded togeth-
er as it goes up. In the second room
are two electrical engines, with a s.
ton overhead crane to handle these
and the machinery yet to be installed.
Next week the turbine vertical en-
gine, and the rotary converter are ex-
pected to arrive. The big pump is
ready for shipment This will com
plete the equipment, as the condens-
ers are already lying outside the bull
ding
In buying the machinery, President
Walker has had an eye to economy of
operation For half the price which
he paid for the turbine he could have
bought the ordinary fly wheel system
Of generating a current, but the cost
of operation would have been much
increased The purchases were made
to secure the minimum expense.
Another feature which shows how
broadly the company is building for
the future is that double spaces have
been reserved for the engines and
turbine, so that when Americus grows
AS it will-the equipment can be
doubled. The present machinery is
installed with a view to providing
light and power for city of 25,000,
but in a few years Americus will like
ly pass that point, and demand an eX-
tension of the plant now being built
AS an index of the size of the en-
gines, it can be stated that about :
100000 gallons of water will be need
ed daily to generate steam. The boil
ers are of the 500 ton size. They are
equipped with super-heaters, which is
the very latest device for increasing
the efficiency of the steam generated
The plant will be in charge of Mr.. w.
G. Wiley, who has removed his fam
lily to Americus, He recently INSTALL
ed the same kind of engines in the
new shops of the Coast Line at Way
cross. A similar pattern is used at
the Central's new shops in Macon, but
outside of these there are no others
in Georgia, so far as known.
To one who seeks visible evidences
of the earnestness of President Wal
ker and his company, a visit to the
new plant would be an eye-opener.
The work has progressed far enough
to leave no doubt of the scope of the
undertaking. In fact, in two or three
weeks the big establishment will be
nearing completion In the mean
time the project progresses steadily,
having already reached a point where
te most skeptical can find enough to
convince that the plant will soon be
ready to handle a street railway and
the pumping and lighting for the city.
And the provision for running a street
railway might reasonably be taken to
mean that it was proposed to put
such an attachment at the other end.

TILTED ROYAL BRIDE-ELECT.
Royal Houses of Russia and Sweden
to be United in Marriage.


ST Petersburg, Jan. 24.-With the
marriage of Prince Wilhelm of Swe-
den, second son of King Gustav, and
Grand Duchess Marie Paulovna,
daughter of the Grand Duke Paul,
uncle of the car, the royal houses
of Russia and Sweden will be united
in marriage for the first time in his
tory Only once before over a CEN
fury ago, was such matrimonial
union contemplated, and it resulted
so disastriously that superstitious
folk see in it an omen that augurs
i'll for the present match
1t was in the autumn OF 1896 that
the magnificent court of the great
Catherine assembled with pomp and
display at the Winter palace to cele-
brate the official betrothal of Gustav
", king of Sweden, and the Grand
Duchess Alexandria Paulovna, the
daughter of the Grand Duke Paul of
that day The great company of roy
atty and mobiles waited for the COM
ing of Swedens royal waited
in vain. Then the aged Catherine
sent messenger to the king. Back
came the reply: Il have changed my
mind about marrying The great
empress of all the Russias fell into
a rage at this insult, and it was
largely wounded pride, SO it is said,
that caused her death a few weeks
later

MAIN LINE OF ROAD
TRINITY AND BRAZOS VALLEY
THROUGH WAXAHACHIE
SO DESIGNATED.

Previous statements made thru
the columns of this paper that the
Dallas division of the Trinity and
Brazos Valley would be designated
as the main line of that system We're
officially confirmed by w. c. Connor,
Jr, general freight agent, who spent
short time in this city Thursday
morning Mr.. Connor was on his way
to Houston and Galveston in the in
terest of matters pertaining to his
department While here Mr.. Conner
stated that the general offices of the
Brazos Valley would be moved from
Fort Worth to Houston about March
1, and that coincidental with this
change of the officials headquarters
the road through Waxahachie would
be recognized as the main line. AS
soon as the track from here south
can be put in better condition a
freight service between Waxahachie
and Fort Worth, mention of which
has frequently been made. will be
inaugurated In order to properly
handle the great amount of freight
which will be turned over to the
Brazos Valley at this point the yard
facilities will be greatly enlarged.
Work on this improvement is now in
progress. The deep whiterock cut
just east of the city is being widen
ed so that two long sidings may be
put in. Other side tracks will be
constructed just as soon as the work
can be reached. The spur to the
turntable has been completed and |
this machinery for turning locomo-
tives will be ready for operation in |
a few days.
An electrical engineer arrived in |
the city Thursday to begin work on |
the installation of metallic bell sig |
nails at street crossings. 1t will re-
quire about three weeks to complete |
this work The material arrived a !
few days ago.
At Austin Thursday the attorney !
general approved the company's |
amendment to its charter providing |
for increase in the capital stock |
from 100000 to 100000. This in
crease of 100000 is to take care of
future construction, it is explained,
such as possible branches and build
ing it's own line from WaXahachie to
Dallas, from Cleburne to Fort
Worth and between Houston and
Galveston it reaching all the above
named cities through trackage ar
rangements. 4
The Trinity and Brazos Valley is
sued stock to cover 800 miles, but
since completing its line il discovers
that it's total mileage is 1898 miles.
The law says that the stock must be
81, 900 for each mile of road, hence
it was about $4,000 short, but the
submitted covers that
and the future construction. The
addition of SO much capital stock
might be taken to indicate that the
road contemplates extending its line
or building branches as soon as
money is plentiful.
