Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Oct. y.
 News has reached Selma of cold blooded murder that occurred at Browns Station. some twenty miles west of Sell ma on the Southern Railroad. Bell Walker, a negro, was shot in the stom- ach by another negro. Nathan Craig. The wespon used was a double-barrelled shot gun. Walker lived in great agony TOT three days after the shooting.
 The difficulty occurred about 25 cents that Bell owed Nathan for cutting board tree off his land. MT. Coates offered to pay Craig the 2S cents Tn oroer to stop the trouble. Nathan Craig then left. got his shot gun. slipped across pasture. cut Walker off before he reached his home and di charged the contents or the gun into his body.
 The murderer is still at large. and 1t captured will be put in jail. which will add one more to the twenty odd murder- CTS now confined In the Dallas County iail. Of that number only one is a white man. Negroes have not been numbering each other as fast in Dallas Of late years as they did several years ago, but the mania to kill one another seems to nave broken out afresh among them, and there Is no telling where the murder wave VIII stop. A few hangings by due process or law would do a great dsal of good among the negroes of Dallas at this time.
