Accused of Arson.

Bill Taylor. negro living near Mar tins Station. was brought to the city yesterday and lodged in jail on the charge of arson. He Is accused of burn ing several negro cabins and gin houses near his home, and the negroes of the neighborhood are greatly wrought up against him. He is feigning insanity, but 1t Is thought that he is doing this to escape the punishment for the crimes that he has committed. He refused to talk about himself or to say anything about the burnings with which he Is charged. He is tremendous negro physically, being over six feet tall. coal black, with a full beard. He appears to be very ignorant man. He was caught in the act of firing a house and when pursued took refuge in a house and 're- fused to come out. Taylor was well armed and the negroes who were attempting his arrest were afraid to approach the house, so 1t was set on fire and when the flames forced him out in the open, he was arrested. He was pretty badly scorched, however, be- fore he would come out of the building and surrender He stood his preliminary trial before a justice of the peace and the evidence was so strong against him that he was committed to jail without bail. It is not thought by those in the community where he lives that he is in- sane. but that he is now feigning that dodge in order to escape punishment for his numerous ince1diarH crimes. There Is little doubt but that Taylor will be put to cutting coal for the State for num- Der of years.

train was bringing In about seventyrfve negroes who had been at work near Myr- tlewood. the work train, conveying them to the city, was held up at tank about six miles from the city. At that point fhe train was boarded by two negroes, who had a reputation in the camp of be- ing bad. Bob Ford and Georgia Kidd were the names of the negroes. When they boarded the work train all of the seventy-five negroes were taken com pletely by surprise when Bob Ford gave yell like Commanche Indian and com menced to fire his pistol. He yelled to all the negroes to throw up their hands and they crowded to the ends of the cars in which they were travelling. Geor- gia Kidd took off his derby hat and went around among the negroes and made them shell out. They were so badly frightened that they did not wait to be told twice. but ran their hands in their pockets. It is thought that the robbers got from s150 to $20O. They remained on the train and prevented any of the me- groes giving the alarm and when It slowed up at the crossing they got of and made their escape. The negroes who were robbed of. their hard earned cash are terribly wrought up over the affair and will do all in their power to capture the two daring highwaymen.

The Veterans Barbecue.

The Confederate Veterans of Selma pro- pose to give a barbecue about the middle of July. It will not be a public barbe- cue as was the one given several years ago. but will be for the old veterans alone and few of their invited friends. No in- Hitations will be sent abroad. The Con- federate Veterans of Dallas county are becoming fewer and fewer each year. Six members of the Camp died during the past year and from now on they will drop off faster and faster, for many of them have lived out their three score and ten years. The barbecue will be held either at Houston's Grove, Leeche's Grove or Riverside Park, the exact location to be decided on at a subsequent meeting ot the Camp.

 Selma, June 2S.
 The Advertiser was read on the streets here with a great deal of interest this morning, especially what 1t had to say anent the various rumors as to the Gov ernorship. The mention of the name or L. B. Musgrove as candidate fell as fiat as did that of Judge Caffee. MT. Mus grove is not known in this section of the State, except to a few politicians, but If he decides to run as a dispensary candi- date that issue will rally around him some of those who believe in dispen- sary.
 The announcement of Judge Caffee that he and Col. W. W. Quarles were to hold a conference at Shelby Springs. caused good deal of amusement here. It IS generally thought that Judge Caffee had no serious intention of running for Gov ernor, but came out in order to come down in favor of some candidate who would make him a promise to reappoint him Railroad Commissioner. Judge Caf- fees apparent efforts to tie onto the Quarles kite Is amusing a great many
 Colonel Qaaries did not go to Shelby Springs to confer with Judge Caffee. His friends say he Is too smart to be caught in a trap of that sort They say 1t would have been better for Judge Caffee if he
 
 and then let 1t leak out accidentally. It Is understood that Colonel Quarfes Is not going to Shelby Springs to confer with Judge Caffee. He Is at home, attending strictly to his private affairs, and from what your correspondent can gather. has no notion of going to Shelby Springs, or anywhere else for a conference. Y0t
 There is talk here of organizing Jelks Campaign Club. One of Governor Jelks's warm personal friends informed your cor respondent this morning that such club would enroll five hundred names here in Selma. When the organization of this club will be set on foot your correspond ent does not know, but it is fact that Governor Jelks has a great many warm friends in Selma. and if they do organ ize and go to work for the present Gov ernor of the State their influence will be felt from the Gulf to the Tennessee and from the Chattahoochee to the Mississip- pi line Who will be the President of the Jelks Club has not yet been mooted. but it will be man thoroughly identified with the Governor.

Thrown from a Buggy.

Paul Jones. q young attorney of Cam den, was in Selma about two weeks ago and purchased spirited buggy horse. Day before yesterday he invited William Bonner to take ride with him behind his high stopper. The animal became un- manageable. ran away and threw them both out. MT. Jones was painfully hurt about the back but his injuries are not serious. MT. Bonner was not so fortu- nate. He was badly cut about the face and mouth in falling out of the buggy He was hurt about the throat and the glands are badly swollen. While his in- juries are most painful they are not con- sidered dangerous and he will be all right again in the course of week.

Postponed Till Wednesday.

On account of the death of five-year- old Dulcie Robertson, the commencement exercises of the Summerfield Orphans Home, which were to have come off last night, have been postponed till Wednes- day night. This little girl was sent to the home from near Tuscaloosa and her death was very sudden. She had not been confined to her bed at all and the death of the little one was a great shock to the officers and children of the institu- ton. The Home has now been running twelve years and the number of children being taken care of there has now reached nearly one hundred, yet during all these years only six little ones have died, a record that any institution might well feel proudof. This health record speaks volumes for the healthfulness of the location and the careful manner in which the children are looked after. There is, perhaps. not another institution of the kind anywhere that can make a better record that the above.
