Offered Handsome Profit.

Since the local lodge of Elks has pur- chased the l20 feet front on the river blum on Water Street, just west of Lau- derdale Street. they have been offered a handsome advance on what they agreed to pay for it, but have declined the of- fer. The Elks know that they have made a good bargain and have come into pos session of a very handsome piece of property and they do not propose to throw away the advantage that they have secured by selling the property, even for a fair advance on the price.
 A good many suggestions are being made to the Eks about adding a story to their proposed building and renting it for lodge purposes or turning it into a cheap vaudeville theatre but as yet the original plans have not been changed, and it will likely be used as an Elk home and an armory for the Dallas Light Dragons, and for nothing else.

KILLING OF G. B. ALBEA
DALLAS COUNTY PLANTER
 SLAIN BY A NEGRO.
He Was Endeavoring to Settle Dis pute Among . Crowd of Blacks When He Was Shot From
 His Horse.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma March 4.
 News reached Selma yesterday of shooting in Pence's beat on Saturday af- ternoon at o'clock which cost one Of Dallas County's best citizens his life. A log rolling was going on, and general row occurred between the negroes or George B. Albea's place and the negroes on an adjoining plantation. When the row was at its height. MT. Albea rode up o1 his horse and attempted to settle the trouble by ordering the negroes to de- sist
 As he attempted to act as peacemaker, Frank Marx, strapping young negro man. picked up a Winchester rifle and cooked it. MT. AIbea heard the click Of the gun ard turned in his saddle and asked Frank If he was cooking the Win chester for him. When MT. Albea said that to Mark. he was not aware of the fact that Emmett Marx was standing near him with a 3S-calibre pistol in his hand. Without a word of warning Em- nett fired on MT. Albea, the ball striking him behind the left ear and coming out at the top of his head.
 At the report of the pistol. Mir Albea threw his hand to his head, and as he did so the negro fired another ball, which passed through the wounded mans hand. but whether it entered his head or not could not be learned. The first Shot was fatal, and in a moment or two the wound- ed man toppled from his horse and fell heavily to the ground.
 As soon as the negroes saw what had been done they scattered in all direc- tions, and in the stampede that followed. Emmett Marx the murderer. and his brother, Frank who was the cause of the shooting. made their escape into the nearby swamps. and at this writing have not been captured. though the white peo- pie of the neighborhood ara making every effort possible to detect the guilty negroes and bring them to justice.
 Several of the negroes who were not en- gagged in the general row preceding the fight. did everything in their power to make MT. Albea comfortable. after he had fallen from his horse. but his brains were oozing from the hole in the top of his head and he was unconscious. Some of his white neighbors were notified and he was carried home and medical assist ance was summoned and everything possi- ble was done, but he was beyond all hu- man aid and at o'clock that night he breathed his last surrounded by his wife and two little children and a number of his friends.
 MT. Albea was a highly respected young man and was liked by all who knew him. His body was laid, to rest yesterday af- ternoon and a large concourse of friends followed the remains to their last resting place.
 The officers of the law will make every effort to capture the Marx negroes, but as they have several hours start, 1t is going to be very dificult to come up with them.
