BLUFF MADE GOOD.
Cashier Kinds Declined to Be
 Frightened bv Strangers.

Decatur, July T.-(Special. )-Cashier Elmer s. Hinds of the Louisville and Nashville used the American game of bluff to good effect this morning.
 Stepping into lunch room. Hinds call ed for a glass of milk and was informed by two large and well dressed men that he could not have 1t. Hinds demurred to the mems authority and one If them, afterwards learned to be named J. P. Drake. drew a long bladed spring rk and started toward Hinds, who Was unarmed. The latter stood his Grc und and quietly told the fellow he would kill him if he advanced another step. Drake then put up his knife and walked of cursing his companion. The men re- gistered at the Bismarck Hotel, as !. F. Drake and M. s. Jones, and are known to railroad men as spotters for the Southern Railway. They had plenty of money, good clothes and annual passes on several roads.
 Drake and Jones seem to he on pro- tracted spree and want to raise 2 rough house" whereve- they are. They became SO obnoxious cat Tuscumbia yesterday that they were made to leave by the police. One of the men approached Cashier Hinds insultingly a second time in the Bismarck Hotel and this time Kinds retallated by skipping the mans face

Moi a Rinnla Created.

When The Advertiser was distributed to It's hundreds of readers in Selma this morning and the announcement was made that Governor Johnston would enter tho racs against Governor Jelks. 1t did not create a ripple. In reading the list of those who attended the Morris Hotel Conference, 1t Is noticeable that not a single man from Dallas County was present. This is more noticeable from the fact that Dallas Is Governor John ston's old home and he always carried this county. Dallas's sixteen delegates were among the one hundred that had stood behind Governor Johnston when Governor Jones was nominated, and it is recalled by Demoei ats here that Joe John ston was the only candidate who turned over hts entire strength to Governor Jones. Not another candidate was able to do that much.
 Then. again. Johnston carried Dallas over both Governor Oates and R. H. Clark. This county has gone for him every time he has been a candidate for governor. and eonly turned its back on him when he turned his back on the former friends that he had made. Two years ago when Governor Sanford was nominated Dallas divided her vote equal ly in the State convention between sam ford and Waller. and now it looks as if Mr. Waller had also turned his back on

A Great Moral Waye.

A great reform wave seems to be sweep ing over Selma and Dallas County. For years thinking men have contended that no genuine reform in morals could take place as long as young men had to go in the ballot box and steal and count negro votes. Now that the new Constitution has been adopted the effect Is already perceptible. Men have been saying for years that they did not want to teach their sons to have to go into the ballot box and take votes. They regarded 1t as jus ,tifable, under the circumstances In order to keep the white people from being ruled by negroes. and now that the old order of things has passed away a feeling of gen. eral relief pervades this whole section and it Is felt that new era has dawned upon us.
 The Sunday Schools of Dallas County have been thoroughly organized during the past few years and a better religious sentiment pervades The morals of the city and county are being more closely guarded and there are yet other reforms to be inaugurated. A movement is now on foot to bring all the saloons into the fire limits and with that in view mon ster petition will be gotten up, asking the Council to act on the matter. If the City Council does not act. then some of the men behind this movement propose to ask for beer licenses in the most fashion able residence portions of the city and open up beer joints in sections that will cause such howl to go up that the City Council will be bound to act
 John G. Norris says that things have gotten to such a point in this section of the town that his family cannot sit on the front piazza on Sunday afternoons on account of the obscenity and YulgarIty seen and heard. He saxs he will have to protect his family with shot gun or move out and throw away a home and lot that has cost him over 5000
 Colonel H. s. b Mallory volunteered his services free of cost and went before the city Council and made a fight for Mir. Norris against the toodlumism and rowdyism existing in his neghborhood on North Street. but MT. Norris says that during the encampment things were worse in his neighborhood than ever before.
 w. T. Atkins says that since the beer saloon was opened at the railroad cross ing and Broad Street the ladies and chil- dren of the Third Ward, who formerly de- lighted to walk down to the bored we'll just beyond the depot in the cool of the evening. no longer do so, because they do not like to pass the open door, of this beer saloon. t
 The colored people of that neighbor- hood have raised their protest against saloons In their neighborhood. but have been afraid to say much. but now. since some of the white men of the neighbor- hood have taken the initiative. the colored men and women are doing heroic work in backing up their white compatriots in fighting the evils with which certain parts of the city are afflicted.
 It was near this section of the. city that the negro hackman. Gus Stein. was kill ed July 5th in front of a house of i'll fame '..-

Indeed, it's meetings will be held with those of the County Medical Societies whenever invitations are re- ceived from them.
 Tt is expected and earnestly desired that a large number of physicians will attend this meeting. and aid in organiz- ing and upbuilding a medical society which will be of great benefit and pleas ure to the entire profession in this sec tion of Alabama.
 "The Association is intended to be sole Iy of a scientific character and no fees or dues for membership will be required. and 1t is not expected that the medical societies in the counties where the meet InRs are held. shall go to any expense for our entertainment.

Demo- crats here remember what bitter an- tagvpist Charlie Waller was of Johnston's when he was Speaker of the House. Dallas Democrats also remember how Mir. Waller abused them the night he came , Dallas County will be found in the Jelks column by an overwhelming ma jority this year. while 1t will be divided between Cunningham and Mesdor. Waller will not be in it when the roll is called on primary election day. Your correspond ent knows of oriy two or three men in Selma who will be likely to vote for Coy erper Johnston. though doubtless there are others. and he does not know of a single friend of Waller. Ali feel that he has gone back on his old friends and lave decided to let him severely alone.

Advertiser Bureau.
 Selma, July l7, The members of the Selma Guards in this city are doing all in, their power to smooth over the late unpleasantness in camp here and are saying that all differ- ences are settled. In view of what the Guards are saying about the troubles be- ing settled and what Colonel Graves says in The Advertiser about their not being ended. the men are in a quandary. Mili- tary men are of the opinion that Colonel Graves is not built of the kind of material to overlook such an act of insubordlna- tion They contend that if he does not act vigorously and firmly that he will lose control of the discipline of the regi- ment and that at the next encampment this and even worse Is liable to occur.
 First Lieutenant Walter Lardent has written the following card:
 Selma, Ala, July Is. fs0,.-I would like to publish in your paper that the Selma Guards will not disband. as we have no reason for so doing. The little trouble we had in camp has been adjusted. Would also like to correct the statement of your reporter as to Company c. being under arrest. This was a mistake. as there were only nine men arrested. Very re spectfully. w. L. Lardent. First Lieutenant Company c. End A
 N. G."
 Lieutenant Lardent is not involved IT the affair. He only corrects a misstate- ment in the above and states that the company will not disband.
 Captain Quinn was seen and he said:
 The trouble arose because the com pany went into camp at Selma instead ot going to some other place. and naturally 1t devolved on me as the ranking officer to entertain the commissioned visitors. My. men construed these attentions in a ms nner entirely different from that in which they should have and become of tended. A majority of the men of the Guards have told me they did not desire me to resign and 1t would not be proper for me to do so in the face of these facts. The company will not disband and believe harmony will be restored at th' regular. meeting Thursday night" It wifi be seen from the card of Lieu tenant Lardent and the interview witf Captain Quinn that tn sy are bending theil energies to bring about harmony in thu ranks of the company.
