It was learned today that A. R. Nin- finger of Montgomery. district maneger of the American Cotton Company. was a candidate for the appointment of mar shal for the Middle District of Alabama Mir. Ninninger was marshel of the north ern district under President Harrison. Lee J. Bryan Is present marshal of the mid dle district. The fact that Mir. Ninninger Is identified with what Is known as the round bale trust in which Senator Jones of Arkansas, Democratic National Chair man, Is interested, leads to the belief that he will have the backing of Senator Jones in the race. Bryant Is a candidate for re-appointment and Is supposed to have William Vaughan. State Republican chairman behind him. Former Marshal B. W. Walker is also in the race.

BEING PUSHED
SELMA .- GETTING READY FOB
 ELKS' FAIR
It is Believed That the Show VIII Be . Grand Success-Judge Woods Funeral Largely
 Attended.
Advertiser Bureau,

A1veyttgef Bureau,
 Selma, Oct. II, 1901.
 Tomorrow Is the last day that the car- penters and decorators can work on the Street Fair grounds before the opening, Monday next. There were scores of car penters at work today on the inclosure, grand stands. booths, and towers. Be- sides the carpenters and day laborers at work Electrician Armstrong had . big force at work stringing wires in all direc- tions, getting ready to make the grounds at night look as bright as day. The grounds will be lighted by between 5oe 1000 incandescent lights. The two towers at the entrance of the Elk Streets will be ablaze. while all the booths and tents will be beautifully lighted with arc and incandescent lights.
 The decorators were also at work and the towers at the entrance to the grounds will be completely covered with white and purple bunting, the colors of the order of Elks. White hats with purple bands around them have been in demand all the week and many young ladies will wear them as an honor to the noble order.
 Several newspapers of the State have secured booths and will solicit subscrip- tions. The Weekly Advertiser will have q man here and will be strictly in the fight when the hundreds of country people come to the city to see the fair Director General Mel is busy booking attractions and arranging for those already booked. Mir Mel is getting down to his work like an expert and 1t was a fortunate day for the Elks when Sauer- beck skipped out and Mir. Mel was elected to manage the fair. The citizens of Selma are all taking a great interest in the Street Fair and the prediction is on every ones lips that it is going to be a success from start to finish.
 Lunch stand privileges, balloon privile- ges and many other things are being sold and the Elks expect to clear $500 or 5000 after paying all of the enormous expenses incident to getting up the Street Fair.
 Judge P c. Woods body arrived at Il 80 last night and was carried imme- diately to the Presbyterian Church. where 1t was watched by a committee appointed by the Stewards of the, First 4Aethodist Church. while few Confederate veterans stood guard around the oashet between midnight and dawn.
 A tremendous concourse of people gathered in the church at { o'clock when the funeral ceremony was said amid the silence and tears of those who knew the deceased best and loved him the tender est. Many hearts were made sad as the beautiful hymns filled the vast audi torium and the soft notes of the organ fell on enraptured ears like whispers from the spirit land. Loving hands bore the casket to the hearse and afterwards let the body down into the bosom of the earth. Judge Wood was truly a good man and many tears were shed over his death.

count shows an expenditure of about
$4,000 less than last year. The puri-
fication plant shows a saving of $4,000,
due to the fact that part of the sep
arating system is in operation which
does away with treating a lot of sur
face water, and the separating sewer
system has cost something like $4,000
less than last year. The purchase of
the Darling estate, last year, added
materially to the sewer department
maintenance account, but with that
item out of the question the depart
ment shows a gain of about $4,000 over
last year
/. An equally satisfactory condition Is
shown by the figures of the street de-
partment. The construction account
shows the total expenditures as $4,000
less than last year, and a decrease Of
$4,000 over the figures of 1900 in the
land damage account. The street
maintenance account shows an eXpen-
diture of $4,000 more than that of last
year.
The street lighting department will
spend something like $1,000 more than
the total of year ago.
The water department is considerably
| inside of the expenditures of year
| ago. The construction account shows
a decrease of SO, 900. The Kettle Brook
| account is $4,000 in excess of last year,
which is accounted for by the work
4 now under way on the new dam at the

His EnuIiSh Friends

When the Englishman takes you into
his heart I do not believe that there
are many other friendships that are so
lasting or so satisfactory. Perhaps l
can illustrate this point in no better
way than by relating the following in
cident: Mrs. Washington and l were
invited to attend a reception given by
the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland,
at Stafford House-said to be the finest
house IN London; I may add that l
believe the Duchess of Sutherland is
said to be the most beautiful woman
in England. There must have been at
least 300 persons at the reception.
Twice during the evening the Duchess
sought us out for a conversation, and
she asked me to write her when we
got home and tell her more about the
work at Tuskegee. This l did. When
Christmas came we were surprised and
delighted to receive her photograph
with her autograph. The correspon-
dence has continued, and we now feel
that in the Duchess Of Sutherland we
have one Of our warmest friends

is another fine instrument whose owner
is missing 1t was placed in storage
nearly five years ago. The room it oc-
cupied had to be cleared to make way
for other stuff and in the shifting
around its tag was, rubbed, off and all
trace of it's owner is lost. 1t has been
so long without an enquirer and there
is so much rent due on it, the manager
will soon sell it.
Some people have a funny idea about
the uses of storehouses and more mon
ey than brains. In one lot of stun
there are a barrel half filled with
empty beer bottles, a piece of oil cloth,
strip of straw mating and a length
of stove pipe. The whole lot isn't worth
the boards it covers. Yet the owner has
been paying rent for it. Standing in
the corner of another room is strip OF
gilt moulding 10 feet long. 1t bears the
owners name on tag and he has paid
rent enough on it to fit up whole
house with such moulding.
Another oddly is a table that must
have given it's owner many a good
time. 1t is now considerably the worse
for wear It hasn't a leg to stand on
and is resting on it's head. 1t might be
cut up for firewood but the owner pays
rent for it.
Single chairs, single piano stools, sin
gle stands and similar odd pieces OF
furniture that might find plenty of
room in a corner at home are being
paid for and the manager does not
complain but like the reporter he does
a lot of thinking whenever he goes
through the graveyard of domestic
bliss. as he calls it.

$4,000 less than last year, in spite of
the expense resulting from the special
election and other matters.
The public buildings account has
about $500 more in its account than at
the same season, last year.
The expenses of the overseers of the
poor city relief account, have been
considerably more than last year. and
the appropriation will have to be
helped out. The Home Farm account
shows the expenditures for support of
the institution as about $4,000 less
than for the first 10 months Of 1900. The
scavenger department has. cost. about
$500 more than last year and the ball
ance of the appropriation up to Octo-
Der l was about $45, but according to
nual inspection of the Home Farm,
revenue amounting to upward of $4,000
has resulted from the sale of hogs since

The parks commission curtailed its
expenditure on the elm leaf beetle Cruz

LARGE CONTRACT SECURED
BY A WORCESTER ENGINEER

A. C. Rice, consulting engineer with
an office in the State Mutual Building,
has. nearly completed his work on the
plant of the Belgo-Canadian Pulp Co.
at Shawinigan Fall, P. Q. os.
In July, 1900, the Belgo-Canadian
Pulp Co. of Brussels, Belgium, came to
this country to look over some Of the
water powers on which their former
consul general, Ferdinand Won Bruys-
sell had secured options. The Belgians
also took occasion to visit some of the
modern pulp. sulphite and paper mills,
both in the United States and Canada
that had been designed by different en-
gineers. They decided finally to locate
at Shawinigan Falls and engaged Mr..
Rice to take the location in its natural
state. covered with a virgin forest, to
furnish all plans, place all contracts,
furnish them a managing superintend-
ent and to make the product for which
the mills We're designed.
The work of clearing the forest was
begun Sept. a. 1900 and from all evil
dences the ground wood mill will be
making its full product by the first OF
next January. 1t is interesting to know
that nearly all of. the machinery was
furnished by American builders.
Mr. Rice also has plans completed for

manager of the storehouse sees of
them.
The home is gone, the owners want
no reminders of the by-gone days and
they depart for unknown residences.
The, nanager--of the stoIehonse keeps
the room locked for several months,
waiting for the owner of the stuff to
return but his wait is generally in vain.
Under the form of the lease of the
storeroom, he becomes owner of the
stuff if the rent is not paid and he can
sell it to square himself Then the most
desirable articles find their way to new
homes but there is always something
hat~nobUdy will take, even if the man
ager offers to throw it in, and these
poor discarded pieces of furniture are
like the ruins of stranded vessel, tel
ling their story of domestic storm and
suffering.
A reporter for The Spy went through
one of Worcester's storehouses last
week and he saw a lot of things that
made him think. There was a humOr-
Gus side to the scene as well as a pa
thetic, because the combination of rub
bish and the evident desire to save it
appeared ludicrous.
There were stoves without legs and
lining, pianos like the Minstrel Boys
harp-their strings rent asunder-beds
without sideboards and lathes. mattress

sewing machines with the most import

carriages with four corners and three

fixed, punches of rubbers that have
done their full duty judging from the
looks of their heels and toes, lengths OF
stove pipe that do not match, strips OF
oilcloth and straw mating in which il
would be hard to find a place solid
enough to hold a tack, etc.
