Had Stroke of Paralysis.

Willis Graves, the faithful old office
servant for Judge George f. Craig. had
a stroke of paralysis at an early hour
this morning and when the Judge came
to his Office he found Willis lying on the
floor in an unconscious condition. Judge
Craig had the old man carried down the
steps, gently placed in a carriage and con-
veyed to his home and as soon as 1t was
possible to procure a doctor had one to
go down to see what he could do for the
old negro. The chances are that he will
live only short time.
Willis was one of the best known
negroes in Selma and was liked by every
one who knew him. He was one OF the
old time negroes. SO fast passing away.
Whenever he spoke to white man ne
would stand uncovered and his politeness
and disposition to be accommodating
made him general favorite. During the
war between the States he was the body
servant of Major Hawkes. of North Caro-
lima. The shot and shell had no terrors
for old Willis, for he would follow his
master right into the jaws of death In
order to wait on him and be near him
in case he was wounded. For many
years past he has been Judge Craig's SER
want and he has served the Judge as
faithfully in peace as he did MAJOR
Hawkes. in times of war. Old Wills mas
always voted the Democratic ticket ana
he thought it a great hardship that he
could not vote in the Democratic prl-
maries for William B. Craig Tor state
Senator. 1t panied the old negro some
months ago when the Registrars told him
he did not come up to the requirements
of the new constitution. When the
Registrars met at the court house on
last Friday and Saturday old Willis went
to Judge Craig and told him that he
wanted to vote for his young master
for the State Senate, that he knew he did

WESTERN UNION WINS.
Victorious in It's Suit Against the
Great Northern.

Great Northern.
ST. Paul, Mimi, Nov. Am a decision
handed down rate Yesterday by Judge
Thayer. of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals. the Great Northern
Railroad was worsted in its suit to GUST
the Western Union from the railroads
right of way. The decision is the culmi-
nation of ten years Of litigation.
The decision holds that the contention
of the Great Northern Hailroad Com.
pany in this instance meant little less
than confscation.
The Circuit Court of Appeals holds that
the contract which the telegraph COM
pany has with the Great Northern was
and is for perpetual right of way and
not to be disrupted, but it is allowed that
the railway company is entitled to the
cost of transporting any and all material
which the telegraph company uses In
the construction OF its lines
The litigation involved 1915 miles of line
built prior to 1892 and now valued at
81, 500, 900. The lines are on the old st.
Paul. Minneapolis and Manitoba Road,
built prior to 1882, and decided by the
court to be held Jointly by the telegraph
and railway companies. The court adds
that should the two companies in dispute
fail to agree az to the amount of COM
pensation for transporting construction
materials the court will appoint Mas
terv in Chancery and two commissioners
to take testimony and report and the
court will then pass upon the matter
Judge Thayer wrote the decision, and
Judge Caldwell concurred. Judge San
born dissented. The decision is regarded
as very important in view of the litiga-
ton of a somewhat similar character
now pending in the East.

First to Register and Vote.

Hon. Henry F. Reese. one of The most
loyal Democrats in Alabama, has been
most active all day long in getting out
all Democrats IN the city. He quit his
office today and devoted every minute of
the time from the opening to the clos
ing of the polls in going through the
city and jogging the memories of those
who forgot that it was election day, or
or who were indifferent about going to the
polls. Mr.. Reese was a great friend and
advocate 70 the new Constitution and did
yeoman service in Dallas County toward
helping along the adoption of the new or
ganic law. After it was adopted and the
Registrars started on their rounds he
was the first man in Dallas County and
perhaps the first man in the State of
Alabama to have his registration certifi-
cate handed over to him. This morning
when the polls were opened for the hold
ing of the first election under the new
Constitution. he was the first citizen Of
Dallas County to vote for William d.
jerks and the entire Democratic ticket.

similar proposition was under consid- eration, but this will probably have to be revised, on account of the advance in labor and the cost of materials. The original estimate was for $50, 900. Certain of the property owners are expected to bring suit for injunction, on the ground that there was not a a majority of the property represent ed on the petition upon which the dis trict was created. J. M. Bell, a prom inent lawyer, and good citizen, too, is the leader of the opposition. We got total of about $4O0,000 of prop erty on the petition, and the total as- sessed valuation of the city is not more than $500, ,0O0, This is clearly a very large majority, but the issue is based upon the fact that Mir. Bell and others filed petition with the council to withdraw their names from the petition This the council declined to do, on the ground that it would not be permissible after the council had taken action upon it.
