A Natatorium Suggested.

"Yes, I believe 1t will be good idea, " a prominent <citizen responded. when questioned by an Advertiser reporter, in regard to encouraging the Y. M. c. A. to put in natatorium and bowling alley.
 The Y. NJ. c. A. should be encour- aged" he continued, flor Secretary Me- Gill has brought 1t up to where it is and should be materially encouraged in his great work. The bowling alley will bring fifty new members and the swimming pool fifty and in a short while the extra expense attached to the addition of these excellent features will be covered by the fees of the new members. The gymna- sium should be moved to the ground foor as President Haper suggested Sum day night and the fees increased to $7.50 year instead of $5. There is the bath; the reading room; the gymnasium; the bowling alley: swimming pool; and shuf- file board, all of which, if put in in the near future will make the Selma Asso- ciation the leading one in the South. and thus aid a great many young men, by leading them from bad society to the place where high morals is the rule.''

 There is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen 1t would show a slimy, unframed condition.
 The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before 1t has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion Is one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is se- cured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
 According to pr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment Is to use after each meail tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.

The Story That Failed.

If 1t had only been true!
 good newspaper story was nipped in the bud this morning upon investigation of the truth of a report.
 The story ran that some months ago when Superintendent Shannahan's "spur brigade was putting down the Mabry Street sewer, one of the picks of work man sprung a leak in one of the mains of the gas company. The leak was not noticed but ever since until about Christ mas time there had been an extremely disagreeable odor arising from the ground In that vicinity. Finally at Christmas the odor of escaping gas stopped and nothing more was thought about the mat ter, although according to the story. a tremendous amount of gas was known to be going somewhere.
 A few days ago. so the story made it out Superintendent Weatherford of the Gas Company made an investigation and
 as the negroes dug into the ground near
 the Mabry Street sewer, to their conster-
 nation, they saw long tongue of flame
 and started to run, thinking they had uncovered the outer gate of sheol. The flame was said to be the size of a man 8 arm. and, as it had been burning for about three weeks the estimated amount | of gas that has been wasted was 2l 900 cubic feet.
 The way the leak became lsnlteu was the marvellous part of the story. It seems that Christmas night some boys shot a roman candle up the mouth of one of the
 drains to the sewer and the ball of fire passed before the leak from the gas pipe
 and in that manner the gas was ignited | All of this would have made good read | ing but 1t was not entirely true. Street | Superintendent Shannahan did strike 2
 gas pipe when digging the Mabry Street sewer, and one of his men did prick 8 | hole in the pipe, but 1t was about the size of a small nail hole and Christmas night this small leak was ignited in the manner described. but it was discovered the next day and extinguished, and the | hole plugged up.
 The Gas Company has had considerable trouble from leaks along Mabry Street. and it was only after a great deal of To- bor on the part of the company that this annoyance to the residents along that
 street was eliminated. President Hooper
 says the loss was very small from the
 leaks. but that he Is gratified at having
 at last been able to locate them all and
 remedy them.

 ceeded by Nixon.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, Jan. H.
 There was an unusually large attend ance at the meeting of the County Execu- tive Committee today. called for the purpose of taking action on the matter of poll taxes. The large attendance of the members of the committee is taken as an index that the Democrats generally are awakening to the necessity of paying the tax and that before the ten days expire nearly all of those liable will have paid their taxes.
 A motion prevailed that the tax collec- tor of the county be requested to appoint each member of the Executive Commit tee a deputy tax collector and also such additional deputies as may be necessary, and that particularly deputy should be appointed at each of the cotton mill, ma chine shops and foundries of the county. The collector was also requested, where practical. to furnish a list of those who had already paid their poll taxes.
 motion was made that two men be employed at $2.50 per day to canvass the fifth ward; Valley Creek and Union Pre- cincts and urge that the poll taxes be paid and that the collector be requested to appoint these men deputies. A com mittee consisting of W. W. Burns, F. M. Wood and L.. D. Mullen was appointed to employ these men. who are to be sat- isfactory to the tax collector. of course, and to raise the money with which to pay them.
 Upon motion of J. w Bell, committee of seven was appointed to draft and issue an address, to the people of the county. This committee consists of w. w. Burns. F. M. Wood. l.. D. Mullen, J. W. Bell. B. F. Ellis, s. J. Hunter and w. c. Phil lips.
 T. l.. Barker, who has recently been appointed one of the country registrars. resigned as committeeman from Summer field precinct and George F. Nixon was elected in his place.
 There was much enthusiasm among the members of the committee. and it is con- fidently believed that four-fifths of those liable for the tax will pay the same be- fore February 1st has passed.
