SENATOR MORGAN
Delivers an Address on Industrial Af-
 fairs at Selma.

Selma, November 10.-(Specal.) )-After a lingering illness Mrs. O'Brien, one of Sell mas oldest citizens, died at her home in East Selma last night. She was 80 years old and had been a great sufferer. Two children, Dennis and Mike, both grown, survive .her.
 A good audience assembled last night in the Y M. c. A. hall to listen to the speech of Senator Morgan on industrial affairs as they relate to Selma and Alabama. The senator's speech was indeed a masterful eff fort, and was listened to with the deepest interest by the audience which was com posed largely of the business men of Selma, though a considerable number of ladies were also present.
 The senator went elaborately into his subject giving a most interesting descrip- tion of the cotton belt area of the south and the mineral sections of Alabama and drawing the most forcible conclus'on as to the possibilities of Alabama's agricul- ture and mines.
 He drew a comparison between the enor- nous development of Birmingham as a great iron center which was now export ing millions of tons of iron to Europe, and what could be done in the further develop ment of cotton, urging the encouragement in every way for Its manufacture in all its grades in the south. Senator Morgan drew a most forcble picture of what would fol- low the completion of the Nicaragua canal which was now regarded as an absolute necessity by this government since it had secured Pacific possessions, and he stated that he regarded the building of the canal immediately as an absolute certainty. This <xc t--t-G Al-- senator's argument as it was a most elab- crate one and he spoke nearly two hours.
 The speaking was under the auspices of the Industrial League, which did an ex- cellent work in securing such timely speech from such distinguished source.

YOUNG NEGRO KILLED.
virgie McCafferty Shot Will Billups
 Near Carrollton.

carro,lion. November 10.--(Special.)-O Tuesday at Moodys gin house near Fran conia. and ten miles south of this place, Virgil McCafferty shot and killed VIII Billups, young negro.
 It appears that some weeks ago McCaI- ferty and Billups were prosecuted In a pre- liminary proceeding before magistrate, charged with shooting at negro named Austin. The grand jury of Pickens county in session last week investigated the shoot ing. III feeling is said to have arisen over inc appearanc of the parties before the iury. McCafferty evidently believing that will Billups had made misrepresenta- tions. ,
 On yesterday Virgil, accompanied by his brother. John McCafferty, went in search of Billups. They found him working at the gin. standing on the front platform some distance above the ground. McCaf- ferty ascended the platform and without a word opened fire. discharging his pistol four times, each shot taking effect. The slayer and. his brother immediately left the scene, taking different directions. John McCafferty was apprehended by Deputy Sheriff E. A. Salmond, but Virgil made for the Mississippi line. 70 one but negroes being present at the gin posse was not organized until some time had elapsed.
 When captured John had on his person an undischarged pistol. The killing was done with a Colts A caliber. It is hardly probable that the real offender will be taken.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 2,354 East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia, Pa, is remarkable statement of re- lief from utter Encouragement. She says:
 "Inever can lind words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has done for me.
 "Some years ago I had womb trouble and doctored for long time, not sec ing any improvement. At times I would feel we'll enough, and other times was miserable. So it went on until last October, felt something terrible creeping over me, I knew not what, but kept getting worse. can hardly explain my feelings at that time. I was so depressed in spirits that did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hys- teria, was very nervous; could not sleep and was not safe to be left alone.
 Indeed, thought would lose nay mind. No one knows what endured.
 !" continued this way until the last of February, when ! saw in paper a testimonial of lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound. determined to try it, and felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, Thank God for such tnedi- l cine'"
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering women to write to her at Lynn, Mass. for advice. All such letters are seen and answered by women only.
