The following inter view with Mir. Crawl. Phillips, who is one of Mir. Lacy's deputies, confirms the There is no vacancy in the. Circuit Clerks office in Dallas" said Mir.

 The Number Exaggerated.
 It was stated in this department day or so ago that over twenty negroes and one white man were confined in the Dallas county jail awaiting trial for murder. The statement was published on the remark of a county official who was in a position to know what he was talk ing about.
 Since then another county official has gone through the jail records with the officia. who made the statement and it was found that he was mistaken, and he asks that it be corrected.
 The two officials who went through the jail records found only ten men In 1s'l aw citing trial on indictments on the charge of murder. Six of these have been put in jail since July, 1900, so the record does not appear to he near so black as your correspondent was led to believe quoted. The names of the men In jail are as follows, all of them being con fined on the charge of murder, and all negroes except Grant Creel, who killed g. white man out at Lake Lanier at Q cot ton factory picnic about year ago. The others are' Charlie Nelson, who has been in jail several years.

The Number Too Large.

In connection with the above statement there was another exaggerated statement sent out by the Associated Press from Selma two or three days ago in reference to the number of murders that have been committed by negroes among themselves in the vicinity of Selma lately. The tel eRram alluded to stated that over twenty negroes had been murdered in Selma and vicinity during the last three weeks. There have been that many negroes engaged in uuarrels and shooting scrapes with one another, but not that many have been killed Two or three of these shoottnRs occurred just across the line in Perry. another at Summerfield and two other fights on Southside and one at Browns Station. While the exact number of me- groes killed in these fights is not at hand. 1t is not near twenty, and the number will hardly reach ten.

The Selma Postoffice.

Aspirarts for the Selma postoffice have commenced to bob up. MT. Dunwoody, who now holds job in the Mobile post office, but who formerly worked in the office here, is said to be after the piace. A petition has been circulated in his be- half around the streets of Selma and re- ceived some signatures theresp. It was not generally known here until lately of applying for the Selma postoff1cee. It is not known to your correspondent whether he is applying as a Republican or a Democrat. though it has generally been supposed here that he was Dem ocrat.
 It has been published that MT. Dun- woody was a cousin of President Roose- velt's and he is probably passing his hopes of the appointment on the President g blood relationship to him.
 The name of Captain Norman Webb is also freouently associated with the posi- tion. Captain Webb is a thoroughly hon. est. conscientious man and dropped the Democratic party when Bryan was nomi- mated on a platform of 16 to i. He is a sound money man and says he could not stomach "the free silver fallacy.' For eral Superintendent of the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans Railroad. and is thoroughly identified with the business interests of Selma. Captain Webb is what might be termed mild Republi- can." on the financial issue alone. Should he be appointed he would make q fine postmaster.
 But these aspirants for the Selma post office have Mrs. Force, the present post mistress. to contend with. Judge Force, now deceased, who was a brother-in -in-law of Mrs. Forces was Colonel of the regi- ment of which MT. Mckinley was Major Then. again. Senator John T. Morgan and Senator F.. W Pettus are strong friends of Mrs. Forces.
 Besides these influences, Peter Force was one of the Selma men to volunteer t,, Dna ;v. EA ish-American war.
