SLOW DOWN ORDINANCE
STREET RAILWAY MANAGERS
Differ AS TO ITS EFFECT.
Three Miles an Hour by Churches
Makes Rapid Transit Impos-
sible, Says Manager Semmes.
President Ragland Gratified.

Street railway managers of Montgom.
cry differ as to the effect OF the ''sloy
down ordinance adopted Monday night
by the City Council and which will go
into effect as soon as it is approved BY
Mayor Joseph.
The ordinance provides that the speed
II all street cars must be reduced to
three miles an hour in passing Montgom-
zomery churches and the county court
house.
President Ragland of the Traction Com
pany gives the ordinance his emphatic
approval by saying he would have voted
tor it If he had been member Of the
,ouncil. General Manager Semmes of
he Street RailwayCompany says the pas
sage of the ordinance means that Mont
gomery cannot have rapid transit.
When asked his opinion of the ordinance
regulating the running of street cars in
the vicinity of the court house and
churches w. H. Ragland president OF
the Montgomery Traction Company said.
II he had been a member of the City
Council he would have voted in its favor.
He said he considered 1t a proper demand
of the public that can be reasonably met
by the operators Of street cars.
General Manager Raphel Semmes Of the
Montgomery Street Railway said his COM
pany would. of course, comply with the
law. He was not so much impressed
with the reasonableness of the ordinance
as was the president of the Traction Com
pany.
"Just as soon as the Mayor approves
the ordinance" said Mr.. Semmes, our
motormen will be instructed to slow
down to speed of three miles an hour
in passing all churches If the people
of Montgomery want slow transit. why
we will give it to them. But / don't
think the people want slow transit. Ger
tainly this ordinance binders rapid tram
sie In passing II don't think the Coun-
Gil realized the number of churches there
.are in Montgomery. There are so many
of them that the passage of the ordi-
nance makes rapid transit serious prop
osition."
1.-THE logical conclusion of such legisla-
tion," added Mr.. Semmes is to prevent
citizens from driving by churches which
are located on paved street. Certainly
horses with shoes on their feet make
more noise when driven ever paved
streets than cars"
The SLOW down ordinance was adopt
ed unanimously by the Council at the
request of members of certain churches,
but it applies to the fifty-nine churches
of the city.

THEIR AIM WAS POOR
DALLAS I CITIZENS HAVE
BLOODLEsS DUEL.
A Selma Man and an orrville In
habitant Empty Their Pistols
at Each other Without any
Damage Being Done.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
Selma Oct. p.
A sensational but bloodiess duel was
fought at Orrville at 7:3o o'clock this
morning. The principals in the duel were
g. w. Coleman, a merchant Of that place,
and d. A. Calvin, a business man OF this
city. The two men have been the warm
est of personal friends for several years.
Mr.. Calvin moved to Selma from Orr
willie q few years ago and during all that
time the relations of the two families have
been of the very closest nature.
There are several rumors afoat in re-
gard to the trouble between the two men
which led to the duel this morning.
Mr.. Calvin went to Orrville on yester-
day afternoons B. o. and N. o. train
and spent the night at Mr.. Coleman's
residence.
1t is said that Coleman made Calvin a
proposition to settle their troubles at his
residence last night but the shooting
was postponed until this morning. Cole
man was standing in the door Of his store
at the time and Calvin was on the
ground, three or four steps below him.
Coleman is said to have remarked: I'VE
might as well settle this question now"
and drew his pistol and fred point blank
at Calvin. who was not over five or six
feet from him. Coleman then retreated
behind the door and opened hre on Cal
win through the window. In the mean
time Calvin was not idle. but reached
around and pulled his pistol and opened
on Coleman through the window.
+ The Workmanship of both men was
bad, however. and neither was struck,
though each emptied every chamber Of
his revolver. Calvin had a lot of shot
guns at a store across the street and
walked over there and got one of the guns
and some shells. He came out and stood
on the streets. prepared for Coleman. In
the meantime Coleman had gone to his
residence and procured a shot gun and
was also ready to settle the differences
between him and his antagonist.
One story afloat Is that the differences
between the two men grew out of the
fact that Coleman had not settled with
Calvin for some shot guns that he had
sold for him.
Calvin boarded a train and returned to
Selma, thus preventing the possibility of
further trouble.

Mrs. E. B. Bradshaw, OF
Guthrie, Okla, cured OF a severe
case by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable COMPOUND.

A great many women suffer with q
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp-
toms seem to be similar to those of
ordinary indigestion, yet the medi-
cines universally prescribed do not
seem to restore the patients normal
condition.
Mrs. PinIham claims that there
is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by derangencnt of the female organ
ism, and which, while it causes dis
turbance similar to ordinary indiges-
ton, cannot be relieved without a
medicine which not only acts as
stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as well.
Thousands of testimonial let
tiers prove beyond question that
nothing will relieve this distress
ing condition so surely as Lydia
