WARNING TO NEGROES
THEY ARE NOT WANTED IN
 WEST LIMESTONE.
The Whites Determined to Prevent Them from Settling on Govern ment Land in That Section
 of the County.

Athens, Aug. 20.--(Special)-A num- Der of the leading negroes from South Limestone. who have been renting lands in that section. having heard that in the western part of the county there was 8 large body of land that stil beIonged to the government and was subject to entry, sent emissaries over 10 view the land. They were de- lighted with the prospect, for they found good lands, and settlement where there was not a negro citizen. They determined te settle this body of government lands and at once began to stake On homes. The wnite people of that section have always beasted that they were free from negroes ana at once they became arouseu over the proposed negro settlement. A meet ing was called and it was largely at- tended. A set of resolutions was of- lered that the community had always been free of colored citizens and that it was the purpose and intent of those uyinR there that 1t should remain so. This was sent to the negroes who had intended to locate, and they were warned not to attempt to settle on the lands. The Mhites say that under no circumstances will they allow a settle- ment to take place and the outcome IS watched with interest. The whites of that section are very determined and it is not likely the negroes will persist.
 Will Gilbert. one of the, three negroes who made their escape from the county iail in this place some weeks since, was captured at Hopkinsville, Ky, last Fri day night by the chief of police. Sher- iii Puryear of this place had so well and accurately advertised the negro that 1t was not difficult to trace him, and as soon as seen the chief of police of that city captured him. He was go- ing under the name of Dock Blann, but as soon as confronted by the chief with the evidence he gave under and return ed with Sheriff ~~dryear today without the formality of q requisition.
 The storms of the past week in this section have greatly injured corn and cotton and the streams are higher than they have been for some time.

NEGRO'S BODY FOUND
KILLING NEAR BAY ANNETTE
 SIX WEEKS AGO.
Walter Butler, White Man, charg' ed With the Crime.The Evi- dence All Circumstantial.
 The Affair Kept Quiet.

Bay Minette, Aug. 20.-(Special)- Ut has just developed nere that aDout SIX weeks ago a negro was killed at Dyas, a saw mill station eight miles north or here, on the l.. and N. Railroad. It appears that MT. Walter Butler, Who was yard foreman for Mcclure & Grenamyre, had some hot words with a negro, Jim Swain, and the negro lied to the residence of MT. Mcclure for prote ction. Later the negro was per- suaded that it was best for him to leave the works, and, accordingly, he left on foot down the railroad track. About this time Butler heard that the negro was leaving and went to neighbor and borrowed a Winchester rifle and was gone with it for some time. Upon his return, it is said that the gun con tained two cartridges less than when he left with it, and he told some of his associates that he shot the negro, but no one believed him. About a week ago the badly decayed body of a man was found mile south of Dyas and near the railroad in swamp. A wrrant was sworn out gainst Butler, and last Friday he was arrested and sent to jail The evidence against Butler is all circumstantial.
 The Commissioners Court spent a part of last week on the adjustment of raises made by the Tax Comm ssion- er, and out of about one hundred cases all but three were sustained.

Will Place the Bonds.

The Masonic fraternity in Selma is on a great boom. and there is not a meeting now but that one or more candidates are initiated into the mys- teries. The last Legislature passed an act giving the Selma Masons the right to erect Temple and exempting the bonds from taxation. The amount that they are authorized to issue is $25,OOO. It is proposed to secure suitable lot and erect a three-story building, 60K12O feet. There will be two stores on the ground floor, while the second floor will be used as offices, and the third floor will be used by the Masons as their lodge room It is thought that there will be very little trouble in selling the bonds, and in year from no" Seiiha can probably boast of a handsome Ma sonic Temple.

c.,rle Nation and Her H..ehe..

Carrie Nation, ]. s., is not only
winning unenviable and lasting
notoriety, but has inspired the
muse of tcn-year-old son of w.
w. Pollock, Of the Finity House.
The young poet heard SO much
of the latest Kansas freak through
the conversation OF his elders, tina,
he mounted his Pegasus and
scared through the realms of poetic
fancy as follows:
Mrs. Carrie Nation with her hatchet brighi
and new,
Through tho jointsts' barred doorway !
passage would she hew.
And when they see her coming. # makes theil
blood run cold.
For she and ner ave hundred are very bravs
and bold.
She breaks into the heil-hoiss and battcri
near and far,
And with her handy little hatchet.
She gives the slot machine . jar:
But policeman grabbed her and asked her
to give bail,
when Carrie loudly thundersd, 81 will not,'
I'd rather TO TO jail.
Carrie you had better hold your horses.
And not show too much high life,
Or the Blind Pig Will set sitter you.
And with the devil stir up strife.

w...n., ror.e.... FOR Farmers.

Congress has under considera.
tion bill by which weather fore
casts will be given the farmer
through the agency of rural mail
delivery. Hon. William Alden
Smith, of Michigan, than whom
there is no warmer friend of
farmers in congress, proposed an
amendment in substance to the
effect that the Postmaster General
may, cooperating with the Secre
tary of Agriculture arrange a plan
by which conveyances used
for transporting United States
mail, including conveyances used
by mail route carriers in rural
free mail delivery, suitable
flags or other signals to indicate
weather forecasts, cold wave warn
ings, frost warnings and approach
| ing storms II the farmers of the
country could be furnished with
these indications of the changes of
the weather from day to day, as
they would be if the warnings ap.
peared upon the vehicles used in
free rural delivery, it would be a
benefit and advantage. 1t would
give them warning and notice of
approaching storms and they could
govern their work largely with that
scientific information at hand,
| Just as the mariner sails in the sea
lin fretful or unfretful weather
after receiving the notice of the
weather bureau, and of what may
be expected. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Smith may be able tc
secure this-important amendment
| to the postal laws.
