FORECAST OF THE RESULT
Special to The Age-Herald.

Selma, Ala, March 14.-Tomorrow the primary election comes In Dallas, at which time county officers and delegates to the state convention will be chosen. A delega- ton had been made up which was thought would meet the approval of all factions, and which, though while being strongly for Capt. H. c. Graham for secretary of state and Judge Harrison for associate justice of the supreme court, was known to stand on the chief justice, il for Mcclellan and for Coleman, this county being entitled to sixteen delegates in the convention. Sat urday another ticket was gotten out, the sentiment of whose makeup is not known on the supreme court question, but being equally strong for Judge Haralson and Capt. Graham. There Is going to be hot contest for the privilege of representing the county at Montgomery, though the first ticket has slightly the best of 1t, because 1t sent out first
 It looks now that in the probate judges fight, Judge Wood, the recent incumbent, will be elected easily. The solicitors race is a close one between A. D. Pitts and Col w. w. Quarles. It would be hard to name the winner, though MT. Pitts has the ad- vantage of having the best workers behind him.
 For the legislature, there are six aspir- ants, Capt. John Burns and P. H. P.tts, who were in the last house, offering for re- election. It looks as if the three from Dal- las will be Capt. Burns, John D. Riggs and either Paul Carson or Watkins Vaughan for the third place.
 In the race for the senate between E. C. Jones and James Nunnelee, Mir Nunnelee is a conceded winner, though MT. Jones has made a race that he should be proud of.
 Will Sam Come?
 The question of Sam Jones' coming to this city is still a live topic in this city. A letter has been received from the noted evangelist in which he evinces an evident desire eo cancl his engagement in view of the attitude taken by the pastors of the leading churches of the city. However, meeting was held yesterday afternoon and 1t was decided that a petition would be gotten up and forwarded to Mir Jones, urg ing him to come. Pursuant to this de- termination, this morning fifty petitions were in circulation and being rapidly signed.
 What attitude the pastors will take in vdew of thlsdr declaration that they deemed fit inexpedient to invite any evangelist to come to Selma at this time," is not known, nor what they will think as to the possible open rebe1lion among the members who want him here.
 It is now an even bet that Rev. Sam won't come, but then one can't bank on what the noted evangelist will do
