SEWING MACHINE PLANT
Huntsville Will Soon Have Another
 New Industry

Huntsville, September 11.-CSpecial 1.-The owners of a new sewing machine have made a proposition to the cltzens of Hunts vile to establish their plant fin this city. Tine plan is to capitalize the plant at $5O0,- OOO Of this amount $2s0,ooo will be retained in the treasury for extensions and improve ments. Of the remainder $250,0 900 will be taken for the patent and machinery; the other $50,00O to be sold to the citizens of Huntsville. The West Huntsville Land company donated a site and 200 building lots to the company, and of these lots will be given each subscriber for every $500 worth of stock he buys. The proposition is considered a very attractive one among local investors and capitalists.
 Officers in the adjoining counties are looking for one John Fink, charged with the theft of horse and two gold watches from Huntsville persons. Fink came here with the soldiers about one year ago and behaved we'll long enough to marry pretty girl in the city, but could not stand a re- spectacle life. He hired horse and started Ito the country to spend the day with friend and was seen no more. After his departure 1t was learned tflt he had stolen two watches and other small articles. The forse was recovered at Pulaski, but the thief and watches are probably gone for good.

At the state Fair Headquarters

From the Ft. Payne Journal.
 The Journal editor passed an interesting half-hour, on Saturday, with Secretary Rountree, in the spacious headquarters of the Fair association, Birmingham. He was shown the working plans for the build ings, which are to be permanent.
 The plans are excellent; ventilation and light are secured, no waste space appears, while provision is made for extensions when required. The floor space is an ob- long; in the centre is to be located the square to be occupied by the state; and fanking and extending from this there are F, 900 feet to be divided among the coun- ties. Galleries twelve feet in width will project above the entrances and windows. From the central cupola the national and state flags will float, while staffs will be fixed al the caves of the hip roof equi-dis- tant, for the respective county flags ban ners or pennants.
 The secretary is full of enthusiasm and energy, and his spirits are infectious. He fits the place exactly. He Is secretary of the State Press association, and of course has a warm side for editors who are good editors; and for those who are not, an amiable charity.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Negro Boy Badly Injured at Selma
 Politics Becoming Prominent

Selma, September 11.-(Special)-A bad smashup and the probably serious wound ing of a little negro boy occurred yesterday evening about dark on the principal thor oughfare of the city. Some young men had been out riding in a trap drawn by two horses They had turned the team over to a little negro bootblack to carry back to the stable, when the horses took fright and ran at full speed down Broad street hang ing the trap on an electric light pole after it had turned into Water street. The lit- tie negro was thrown out and after being picked up insensible, was taken to Dr. Rogan's office where it was found his col lar bone was fractured, his forehead badly cut and his foot mashed. It is feared also that he is hurt internally.
 A wild report went the rounds this morn- ing hat Miles Hardy, a well known citizen of the South Side, had dropped dead on yesterday How the report started it is happy.
 The closing in of the yellow pestilence has begun to cause the citizens of Selma to become a little apprehensive and to urge the authorities to put local quaran- tine. The city council meets tonight and some action is expected. Selma Is remark ably clean, and unless the pestilence creeps in through carelessness there is no reason why there should be any fever here.
 County politics are beginning to creep out. Four candidates have announced for sheriff and one for tax collector, but this is only starter, as there will be many names submitted to the voter before tho day of the primary comes off.

Bryan Club Will be Organized

Centrevile September 11.-(Special.)-A meeting has been called here for September 23 for the organization of a Bryan club. Signatures are now being obtained for membership in the club. The belief Is prevalent that it Is part of a well organ ized scheme to take Alabama away from MT Bryan by the stil-hunt method. It is suspected that the Bryan people are to be lulled into security by assurances that there will be no fight to secure the dele- gation from this state, If not openly hostile, at least not in sympathy with the fight MT. Bryan Is making against the republic can party. The democrats of this county propose to take precaution against being taken unawares. They propose to organize. Hon. John W. Tomlinson, of Birmingham, has been invited to make an address at the meeting on the 23d, and has signified his acceptance of the invitation. Those in charge of the movement say the meeting will be as great a success as the one re- gently at Scale, Ala, when a Bryan club was organized at that place.

The Agriculturalists First

'The agriculturalists were the first to re- spond to our call for exhibits. We are now assured that no such exhibition of all the products that grow in Alabama soil will have been seen by a citizen of this state. More than one half of the counties will have their own exhibits, hundreds of pro- gressive farmers will make beautiful and artistic individual exhibits, and the state, the mother of them all, will show to the world an array of the marvellous wealth of products of the field that will cause the bosom of every Alabamian to swell with pride.
 "The Titanic iron, coal and steel indus tries of the state are vieing with each other in an effort to startle the north, east . and west with the unrivalled and un- equalled natural wealth that God has be- slowed on Alabama, and to instruct and in- form the citizens of the state in the vast natural resources of wealth and power that so long lay hidden from human eyes, The usual public spirit and enterprise of our grand railroad systems has asserted itself They will bring their own magnificent min- eral exhibits, and in every way in their power strive for the upbuilaing of Ala bama, and a permanent successful State Fair.
