call for the primary, naming Thurs
day, October %, as the date therefor.
This provides for a campaign of two
weeks only, and with any number of
candidates doing the Marathon hike,
the brief interval is going to be replete
with fervid interest.
The executive committee consists of
Messrs. c. C. Hawkins, W. J. Jossey,
E. D. Sheffield, Reese Horton and
Brown McLendon. After a free discus
sion of the prospective democratic pri-
mary, short campaign was consider

DELEGATES TO CHURCH
CONVENTION ARE GATH
ERING IN ATLANTA
TODAY
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct Hundreds Of
delegates have already arrived in the
city today to attend the International
convention of the disciples of Christ
which begins tonight and will last
for eight days. Fully twelve thousand
delegates are expected to attend the
big convention.
At the same time that the main CON
vention is in session, affiliated bodies
will hold their meetings in Atlanta.
Chief among these are the ladies' aux
Hilary associations.
Governor John M. Slaton will de-
liver the welcome address tonight and
the response will be by Dr. H. NJ. Bell,
of DesMoines, Ia, president of the
convention. DR.. R. E. Speer, of New
York City, prominent worker in the
church, will also deliver an address.
Several proposed changes in the
rules of the church will come up for
settlement in this convention. The ad-
mission of persons to communion who
have not been immersed will probably
meet with stiff opposition from large
number of delegates.

Those TO be Elected.

The three retiring members of city
council are Aldermen H. B. Mashburn,
T. L. Bell and George Oliver, their
terms of two years expiring with the
current year. The hold over" mem
bers of council are Aldermen Poole,
Harris and Bolton. One or more of
the retiring members may be candi-
dates to succeed themselves, though
nothing to this effect has been given
out. The city clerk is to be elected for
a term of two years, and Clerk Weaver
will offer for reelection.
Alderman J. E. Poole has been nam
ed member of the proposed Light
Commission, and when that body
eventually, assumes the functions OF
Office, his resignation as a member OF
council will follow. This, however, is
futures" proposition.

Members of Police Board.

At the primary for the nomination
of mayor, aldermen and city clerk, two
members of the board of police com
missioners will also be chosen, the
terms of Office of Commissioners G. P.

the current year. The registration
books will be opened at once, and all
white democratic voters of Americas,
who may not be registered already,
may call at Clerk Weaver's Office and
get upon the voting list.
The race is now on, and spirited
campaign of two weeks will create as
great interest, locally, as does the war
across the briny.

Lively Race for MayOralty.

The feature of interest in the polit-
ical campaign is going to be the may
orally contest. For some time past it
has been an open political secret that
several prospective candidates were al
ready grooming themselves for that
berth, and only awaiting the call of
the primary to get themselves before
the voters. With the call of the cleo
ton, as made yesterday, these aspir-
ants for that office, and perhaps others
as we'll, will shy their casters into the
ring.
1t can be depended upon, however,
as an absolute fact that the citizens
and property owners-the business
men of Americus-are going to exer-
else care and discretion this time in
filing that important office, and will
present, in due time, a thorough bust
ness man, in whom utmost confidence
is imposed, for the place,

trtct Attorney Weeks exhibited an
unopened box of 38-calibre revolver
cartridges, which he said he had
found in the attic of the Carman
home. DR.. Carman told him. said
Weeks. that he did not know how
the cartridges came to be in his
house. A 38-calibre bullet killed
Mrs. Bailey.
The first witness today was Celia
Coleman, a negro maid in the Car
man home. She began her story by
telling who was at the dinner table
on Tuesday night. The witness said
Mrs. Carman complained Of having
q headache and said she was going
upstairs. The witness saw her leave
the dining room and later heard
footsteps, she believed were those of
Mrs. Carman, on the stairs. She ad-
mitted having talked with George
Levy. Mrs, Carman's attorney, the
morning after the murder. DO you
know what perjury means?" asked
the district attorney. The witness
answered that she did. The district
attorney then asked several times II

Mrs. Carman was present at the con-
ference. The witness said she didn't
remember. 81 n ~

Butchery the Work of Either a
Maniac or a Person Seek
i ing Revenge.
VERY BLOODY AFFAIR
According to the Chief Of Police
the Murderer is Deliberate
in Terrible Deed.
,sy Assee,Arsp .srss,

CHICAGO, July ga family Of
four were wiped out by blows from
an axe in suburb last night. The
victims were Jacob Neslesla, Ger
Tan laborer, aged SO years. his wife,
their daughter, aged 25, and the lat
ter's infant child.
The stiffened bodies and the blood
stained axe remained TO outline the
by neighbors. Whether the butchery
was the work of a maniac or Of per-
son seeking revenge was not disclosed
in the first cursory investigation. 1t
was learned that the young mother
of the infant had been living away
from her husband for some time and
efforts to find him were begun.
The murderer. according to Benja-
min Knirsch, chief of police OF the
Blue Island suburb, proceeded with
great deliberation. Each swing Of
the axe apparently carried death with
it. death without even moan to
arouse others sleeping in the house.
Each OF the slain was struck in the
head. Neslesla slept in front bed
room on the first floor of the little
frame dwelling. In the attic the two
women and the infant had their bed.
The axe was found near this bed in
dicating to the police that Neslesla
was the first victim.
The crime was discovered by
Jacob Neslesla, Jr.. son Of the old cou-
pie living in another part of Blue Is
land. He is track laborer and wen to
the home of his parents which is near
the track to get pail of water. He
said he found the door open and that
he called to his mother several times
before he entered. Then he found the
bodies. He said that his sisters hus-
bands name was Hamilton. Hamil-
ton, he said. left her a year ago.
