Selma, Feb. 19.
 The announcement has been made public that Mir. E. Carlisle Jones would move from Selma to Birmingham to make that city his future home. MT. Jones "''' P "'' and reared In this city and there VIII be general regret amoiig all oI us irieiius when it is made known that he is to re- more from our city.
 r The removal of Mir. Jones has some political significance in Dallas. He was defeated for the Senate at the last cleo ton, but took his defeat so gracefully that many of those who had voted against him announced their intention of voting for him should he run at the next election. He was thinking seriously of becoming a candidate again, and but for the fact that he is going to remove from Dallas would probably be can didate. If he had remained in Dallas and ran for the Senate he would have made strong race and in all probability would have been the next member, of that body from this county.
 The removal of Mir. Jones simplihes the race for the Senate somewhat. leaving onlv two names mentioned In that con- nection, Mir. B. H. Craig and Captain John F. Burns. It is more than likely that these two will be candidates. MT. H. F, Reese has also been urged by his friends to enter the race. He declined to do so as long as MT. Carlisle Jones was a candidate, they being great personal and political friends. Your correspon- dent has not seen Mir. Reese since MT Jones has announced that he would re- move from Selma, and does not Know whether he will now become candidate, but if he should decide to run he would have a strong and enthusiastic follow ing ..-
 While these names have been men, aonad as possible candidates for the senate there has not been a single an- nouncement for the House of Represen- tatiyes. There are usually from five 70 ten men who wish to go to the legisla- ture. but this time the job seems to be going begging. Mir. Calvin Young. ST. name has been favorably mentioned as a possible candidate. He was memoer oi the last House and made good repre- sentative and if he should announce 1t IS more than likely that he will go pack by an overwhelming vote. Hut ne mas not made up his mind yet whether ne will run for the legislature for memoer of the Dallas County Board Of Revenue.
 If James Minter wants to run Tor the Roard of Revenue. MT. Young will not antasonize him. It is known that MT. Minter desires to become member oi the Board. l..
 Captain Robert Meyer of Tilden, is in the race for member of the Board oi Revenue. He is from South Side and SO Is Mir. Minter and as that district is only entitled to one member or thc Board. it is more than likely that these two popular men will be pitted aRaihS' each other for this important position made doubly SO since the new constitu- ton puts the local affairs of the county in it's hands, instead of sending up all these small matters to the General AS sembly. x.
 But now that several men are atter the job of Senator and memper Q. .n. pn.rd of Revenue 1t Is likely that the nolitical cauldron will boil from this time forward. A good many announcements may be expected in the next sixty days for the places to be filled by the Democ- racy of Dallas.
