IT WAS NOT THE GOVERNOR
Who Was Calling for Delegates at the Morris
 Hotel Saturday.

The political fires which were burning very brightly Saturday all day, were famed into white heat late in the after noon by the announcement that Governor Johnston had arrived from Montgomery and had taken rooms at the Morris hotel.
 The startling intelligence was to the effect that the governor had summoned post haste a number of his friends to political conference consultation on the subject of selecting delegates to the state conven- ton.
 One of the gentlemen who was summoned was reputed to be an enthusiastic advocate of Judge Coleman for the office of chief justice. Governor Johnston's friends were 10th to believe that he would summon any Coleman men to his political conferences Excitement had gotten to high pitch and anti-Coleman men were at a loss to under stand Governor Johnston's peculiar con- duct, and rushed to the hotel to investi- gate.
 The examination evidenced the exact sit uation that 1t was a Mr. A. B. Johnston who was beating the bushes to provide delegates to a Sunday school convention which meets next Saturday.

YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IT
Few People Doiand That Is Why Great Man Has Written This Note of Warning.

Below is the synopsis of an address given by Professor Marshall
 Tt Is a fact that, today, thousands of people are within foot of the grave and they do not know it. Very many people who read these lines realize that at times they are unusually tired and cannot ac- count for it. They feel dull and indefinite pains in various parts of the body and do not understand it. Perhaps they may think 1t is only a cold which will soon pass away.
 Now, all the symptoms above described and many more of similar nature indi- cate the coming on of the worst physical trouble that has ever been known to the human race. These symptoms are, in fact nothing less than the forerunners of that dreadful Bright's disease of the kidneys which so often fastens itself upon the con- stitution before the victim IS aware. It is dangerous to both men and women, es- pecially women, is nearly as heriditary as consumption, quite as common, and fully as fatal"
 Until recently 1t has always been eon- sidered incurable, but few years since much excitement was caused among seien- lists and the medical profession by a dis covery which actually cured this fearful disease even in its last stages Doctors were amazed at it's power and gladly well comed it. That discovery is known among men of science the world over as Warmers Safe Cure, and 1t is no exaggeration to state that it has accomplished more in the field of health than anything which has ever been brought to the attention of the medical profession or the general public"
 But the great popularity of Warner s Safe Cure is due not so much to the fact that it has rescued the victims of Bright s disease from the brink of the grave, as that 1t drives away the first symptoms of this dread malady whenever they appear and restores the sufferer to perfect health. I do not hesitate to implore everyone who reads these words not to neglect the slight est symptoms of kidney difficulty. Certain suffering and probably death will be the sure result of such neglect and no one can afford to hazard such chances"

SAM ELLIS 4
 DESPERATE NEGRO
Arrested and Charged With Shooting Hendrix A.
 Hardy.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Selma, March 21.-Over at Soapstone, this county, in little room closely guarded. and heavily hung with chains. is Sam Ellis, a negro whose life is perhaps in more danger than he is aware of
 On the night of October 20 last MT. Hen dirk A. Hardy, one of Dallas county's best citizens, was foully shot down and left for dead In his store by an assassin who stood out in the dark and shot through the open door, Mr. Hardy miracuiously escaped death, but lost the sight of one eye.
 Henry Quarles and Bolting Green, two negroes, were arrested and tried by Justice Edwards and sent to jail here, where they are now confined. There was considerable talk of lynching Quarles and Green at the time of the trial but there was doubt of their guilt in the minds of several and they were sent to jail.
 Not long after the shooting it was found that Sam Ellis, a mean negro of the neigh borhood had disappeared; also that he had stolen a gun belonging to Rev. J. B. Powell. Ever since then the authorities have been searching for E,Ilis. A few days ago ne was located in Brewton and arrested. Sae- urday afternoon late he reached Soapstone where he is now awaiting the preliminary trial which comes off before Justice Ed- wards tomorrow morning.
 A prominent citizen of the neighborhood stated today that yesterday negro was found to whom Ellis had admitted on the morning after the shooting that he had shot a white man in Dallas county the night before.
 This citizen also states that there is much suppressed feeling in the matter among the residents of the locality where the attempted assassination occurred and that if the evidence brought out at the trial showed conclusive guilt, Ellis would hardly reach Selma. If the negro confesses hds crime there isn't shadow of doubt what his fate will be.
