HINsoN AND BREWER.
A Joint Debate on Constitution in
 BraggS.


 Braggs, Oct. 2@.-CSpcciaD-Nearly two hundred persons gathered at the school house here yesterGay at F o'clock to hear a joint discussion upon the merits of the new and the old Constltutlons De- tween Hon. Evans Hinson for the for mer and Hon. Willis Brewer for the lat ter, The adjoining precincts, Hickory Hill, Wyndham, Farmersville ana Mt. Willing, were well represented in the crowd. Although every seat was occupied and many stood. the speakers were ac- corded close attention for nearly three hours. Mir Hinson opened with an hour speech Colonel Brewer followed with an hour and fifteen minutes and MT. Hin son closed in thirty minutes Both speak CTS are well known and popular here and were frequently cheered. But Colonel Brewers position in this matter does not take well here. He said that he was under a debt of gratitude to the negro and some one had said that when man was guilty of ingratltude his other crimes were virtues. He would never fa- vor their disfranchisement. He said that inc registrars provided for in the new Constitution could disfranchise Confed- crate soldiers for taking drink; that their power was unlimited and that against their decision there was abso- lutely no remedy put tne rlSht oI reVo-
 MT Hinson very forcibly pointed out the error in this assertion and read the section which proTidteSs tS TOT % trors an sppTa pnd showed how unfair and ridiculous such wild sunpOsitions from the opposition ap- ,Oaarad "iar SI tp thinking men, He told Rufus ssnders's joke "Old Sallie .sposen.' which bro',oht down the house. The most bitter opponents of the new Constitution a5I 9, freely st admit that MT. Hinson had all the ad- 1,an+saa of tbe argument throughout.

Leonard Will Not Run.

Mir. Aaron Leonard. whose name has been connected with the vacent Council mans position from the Fourth Ward, announced yesterday afternoon that un- der no circumstances would be be can- didate for the place He says that he has a good business and he does not care to become imbroiled in politics as an AL derman from his ward, unless street fair could be held in Selma all the year round, and in that event only would he like to hold the job he said.
 The name of Mir. Bass" Donner has also been connected with the position, but 1t is more than likely that he will come out of the race in favor of his father, Major Frank Donner, popular engineer on the Southern. who was defeated at the last Democratic primary by Councilman Mullen. Major Donner has many friends who will support him if he decides to en- ter the race.
 The name of W. J. Costigan has also been connected with the place. Mir. Cos tigan Is also an engineer and at present is conducting a store in the Fourth Ward. He, too, is very popular, and if he de- cides to enter the race the man who gets the plum will have him to beat. It 1t more than likely that MT. Costigan will let it be known tomorrow whether he will enter the race

The outside of the pier will be of hard brick. while the inside will be filled with concrete
 The middle or pivotal pier will be round and will be twenty-four feet in diameter. This Is the pier upon which the draw will be placed, and win be sixty feet from the base to the top. The coffer dam for its construction is now being put in, and unless the waters rise suddenly. 1t Will be completed in about a week and the work of excavating for the foundation will commence.
