SELMA REJoICEs.
No More Toll to be Paid on Bridge
 Across Alabama.

Selma, January 17.-(Specal.)-Tod has been a glorious day for Selma. Before the whistles from her factories and shops sounded the hour of noon the toll gates over the bridge across the Alabama river at this point had been wiped away and the tax that had fallen so heavily upon the shoulders of the citizens of the southside was lifted
 There occurred this morning about o'clock the death of a Christian wife and mother that has cast a-shadow of sadness over this community, the death of Mrs. Ada Norris Compton, the beloved wife of Major Jordon Chappell Compton, one of Selma s and Alabamas most prominent citizens.
 For number of years Mrs. Compton has been an invalid, but had borne with pa tience and fortitude the hand of afliction, and the consolation of fond husband $ love and her chi!drens devotion sustaining and comforting her through the misfor- tune of i'll health.
 Mrs. Compton was about 54 years of age, having been born in Selma. She the daughter of Mrs. William J. Norris, now living in Birmingham and the sister of Mrs. D. M. Scott. of this city; Mrs. B. H. Franklin, of Nashville, and MT Frank Nor ris, of Birmingham. Besides a sorrow stricken husband her death leaves mother less two children, MT. Williarn and Miss Louise Compton, both grown.
 The hour of the funeral has not as yet been set, but will occur tomorrow

HE WAS RETRIEVED.
MT. Harley Feels Very Grateful That He Was Saved When on the Brink
 of the Grave.

In France a man sentenced 10 dealh Is not told in advance on what he IS to ale.
 The first infrmation he gets is from the officers who prepare him for the guliioliife. Between sentence and execution the prs oner's life is full of terrors. for any foottali outside his cell may herald the messenger of death.
 So free and honest men suffer agonies of imagination when they learn that they have diseased kidneys. They may live for years They may die before another sunset. Kid ney trouble is more deadly than consump- tion If neglected or improperly treated. It is a great mercy that one sure remedy exists.
 Herbert Harley, dealer in shoes at Twen- tieth and Pine streets, Philadelphia, says: "I suffered for years with chronic kidney trouble and tried many remedies and doc tors. About year ago l had an extremely
 serious attack. 1 could not attend to busi-
 ness and my family was much alarmed.
 My back was so lame I could not stand erect. l had high fever and night sweats, and the pain in my back made it impossible to secure good nights rest.
 "The doctor said had too much acid in my blood, which caused neuralgia condi- tions It makes a man pretty blue to be always ailing, and one who has store finds sickness an expensive luxury.
 "One day my daughter brought me we'll known remedy and urged me to take it. A 1flenu nau recommended II so nlSn1y Sne was sure it would do me good. I didn't have much confidence in it. for I had tried so many things that I had little faith left in anything. Its action however was pleas ant surprise. It seemed to take right hold and strengthen the bladder and kidneys and made me feel better before the end of the week. It just braced me like a tonic, and l feel owe my life to Warmers Safe Cure, which the remedy 1 used"
 The doctor was right. MT. Harley's blood was charged with uric acid, a malignant poison. When the kidneys are sound they draw it from the blood. When they are un- sound the acid remains, to shatter the nerves, to weaken the heart and to dull the brain It is needless, and, to many read CTS, it would be painful, to tell in detail the terrible progress of kidney diseases.
 Warmers Safe Cure. which drives them out of the body, is within the reach of all.

HILLSBORO HAS A FIGHT.
J. c. Odom Shoots J. o. Terry-W
 Is Not Fatal

Decatur, January f.-(Spacial.)-A shoot ing scrape occurred near here this morning, at Hillsboro, in which J. c. Terry was shot in the forehead by J. c. Odom. The shot was fired from a pistol, and, striking the skull, glanced off and stuck in the ceiling about three feet away. Terry was taken to house and doctors summoned, when it was found that no serious. damage had been done. Both are old and well-known men around Hillsboro, and it is hoped this will end the matter. The difficulty grew out of an annual settlement between the two men, in which the correctness of the ac- count was disputed.
 An election was held in Morgan county touay to take action on bonding the county for good roads. From the returns received from number of outlying beats, 1t is be- lieved that $75 GOO will be appropriated for that purpose by a scant majority Of 2OO

just returned from a trip over the pro- posed route of the railroad as far as Cliff ton, Tenn, on the Tennessee river. The railroad is intended primarily to open to the world the great ore lands of Wayne county, Tenn, which are, perhaps, the richest in the south, but it would also give Florence a river connection with St. Louis via Clifton, thus making 1t possible to ship freight to Florence by river and from this place to Nashville by rail at rate as low as could be obtained from St. Louis to Nashville by rail. If the road is completed as far as Jackson, Tenn, it will give rail connection with the Mobile and Ohio and the Illinois Ceytral railroads.
