 We feel that when we operated on the President of the United States that we operated for the Amrican people with view to saving their President for them.

ROUGH RIDERS APPEAL
HIS REQUEST WAS NOT COM
 PLETELY IN VAIN,
Walton W. Stewart Asked President to Commute Sentence of Young
 Man Who Was Paying Penalty for Desertion.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, Dec. II, 1901.
 Several months ago young man py the name of Virgie sRussion enlisted Tn the army very much against the wishes of his parents. Young Russion became very hcme sick. but all his appeals TOT furlough were turned down and finally his father wrote him and told him to come home anyway. This the young man did, deserted his post of duty. and the meeting between parents and son was said to have been a most joyous one, for they had never been separated before in their lives. But this joy was soon turned into sorrow for he was ar- rested and carried to Fort McPherson, Ga, where his command was stationed and he was tried and convicted and sem fenced to eighteen months imprisonment.
 The father of the young man, who Is an honest straightforward old man, feels the disgrace of his son most keenly. He feels that he is responsible for his sons desertion, by writing him to come home whether he got a furlough or not. He has made many efforts to secure a pardon fer his son, but without avail. At last he conceived the idea of asking the aid of President Roosevelt's Rough Riders here in Selma and this he did. MT. Walton W. Stewart wrote President Roosevelt letter and made a strong appeal to him
  already served six months of his sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Mir. Stewart appealed to the President on the aged father and mothers account, and day or so ago he received letter from the Presidents private secretary. The Presi- dent said that the case was one that he could not pardon straight out, but on account of one of his Rough Riders ask ing & favor at his hands that he would .k~ fa V10n he and as Russion has served one half his time he will be here in six months and the next meeting of parents and son will be much more pleasant than their part ing was when he went of to Fort Me Pherson to be tried for desertion. Old man lRussion was visibfy affected when he was informed that MT. Stewards ef- forts had resulted in getting six months knocked off of his sons sentence.

 MT. Lacy has returned and wants his old job back and I will not be in his way. I have said all along that if he returned to Selma he could have the place. have not only said this per- sonally. but in the public prints and l now make good my words. No one will give Mir. Lacy a more cordial welcome back to his old home than I, The public was very much interested in the case and take this means of informing them that the contest over the circuit clerk ship is now at an end.

The heavy rain of Friday night has raised the river some fifteen or twenty feet and a good deal of damage has been done to the coffer dams, which are entirely sub merged. It is hardly probable now that the piers can be finished before next sum- mer. In the meantime the iron bridge is here, waiting to be put up.
