SELMA

Selma December 16 = (Special) - The matter of the circuit clerkship of Dallas county will be settled tomorrow in a way unexpected. It will be recalled that J. H. Nunnelee was appointed circuit clerk by Governor Jelks upon Probate Judge P. H. Pitts declaring the office vacant ow- ing to the continued absence from the county of Theo. Lacy since May last. G. c. Phillips, who was appointed a depu- ty by MT. Lacy. was an applicant for the position and upon the appointment of MT. Nunnelee refused to give the office up.
 Mandamus proceedings by MT. Nunne- lee for the books of the office and quo waranto proceedings by MT. Phillips en- sued, and on the trial of the latter by a jury a mistrial resulted. Now comes the Lacy returning to Selma. He will be here tonight at 1 o'clock and will tomorrow again take charge of his office. MT. Nun melee has declared that if MT Lacy would return and intend in good faith to remain here he would resign any claim whatever to the office. This MT. Nunne- lee reiterates today, and the vexed ques- ton will settle itself upon MT. Lacys re- turn.
 The river has risen eight feet in Selma since Saturday night and the coffer dams of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad bridge which are now in course of erec- ton are now completely submerged by the water. The sandbar from which the city is hoisting gravel to be used in paw ing the streets is also under water.
