PROFESSOR DuaaAR's WORK.
Practical and Thoughtful Advic
Given To the Earmors


Auburn, Sept. 20.-(Special. 1.-THE fol-
lowing account of the work of Professor
j. F. Duggar of the faculty of the Ala
bama. Polytechnic Institute appeared re-
Gently as an editorial in an Alabama
paper. Professor Duggar is doing a
great deal by lectures and addresses, by
the distribution Of his bulletins and by
numerous practical experiments to ad-
vance the agricultural interests of the
country and especially those of Alabama.
He delivered a series of lectures before
the National Summer School of Agricul-
ture in Ohio this summer which Is a
post graduate school organized for the
benefit of the professors and instructors
of agriculture throughout the country:
For the past four years the Agricul-
tural Commissioners of the cotton grow
ing States have been meeting annually in
convention for the purpose of considering
the vital questions in which the farmers
of that region are interested The body
Is composed of the Commissioners and
the assistant commissioners. 1t invites
to the conference such professors and
students as 1t deems competent to ad-
dress 1t on such questions. Its last ses-
sion was held at Nashville, Tenn, on tho
26th. 2Sth of last month. Professor Dug
gar of this State. gave his attention to
one of the most thoughtful and practical
of the conference. Every planter in this
section ought to have heard 1t. There was
hardly a superhuous word in 1t; and
Ior tHdt reason synopsis Is lmpOSSlDie.
I He said among other things that all ex-
periments showed that peas. were the
best fertilizber the farmer could use.
that results were more certain and less
variable, that large acreages of peas
should cease to render Ineffective the
energies of the planter, that more har-
rows should be used. This gentleman
showed easily among the first men of
the occasion. He is able intelligent,
thoughtful. The Canebrake has abun-
dant reason to be proud of this son
of hers. A bright career of usefulness
lies before him. He took an active part
in all discussion and all subjects discuss
ed lay before him like an open book
Above all he is modest as he is learned. y

The orrville Difficulty.

Saturday last a. personal difficulty took
place at Orrville between j. B. Ellis,
chairman of the Dallas County Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, and George
w. Coleman, a merchant of that place.
1t seems that cotton seed war was on
between the two men, who We're both
purchasing cotton seed. Mr.. Coleman ran
the price up to $21 a ton, and Mr.. Ellis
unloaded what seed he had on him. In
the trading Mr.. Ellis claimed that Mr..
Coleman owed MIN a balance of $40 and
went over to Coleman's store to see him
about the matter. One word followed
another until finally the men were en-
gagged in a personal alteration. Mr..
Coleman was knocked down and Mr.. e.
lis got on top of him, beating him mp
pretty badly and cutting him several
times on the face and heed Mr. E
the story goes on to relate, got his
money and stepped out OF size door
and into blacksmith shop, when MI,
Coleman grabbed a shot gun and came
TO the front door, when one of Mr.. Ellis 5
relatives appeared on the outside with
another shot gun, but no further trouble
took place at the time.
Mr. Ellis is one of the wealthlest men
in the county and is known all over the
state, being prominently connected with
several secret organizations.

your correspondent that Rev. William

it's head declined the position to which
he had been elected, in order to accept
the position of Superintendent OF Home
Missions for the Territory OF Oklahoma,
feeling that he could accomplish more
good there at present than he could as
financial agent for the Synodical School
for Boys. The declination Of Mr.. Nc
Twain threw the work back, or rather
delayed 1t for the members Of the commit
tee that had been appointed to look after
the school, were scattered at different
summer resorts and 1t was impractical to
get them together until now. 1t Is ex-
pected, however, that active steps TO put
the school on a arm basis will be in
augurated as soon as the Synod meets
in November and from present indica-
lions Bessemer will capture the school

mo- Fieht the Removal.

A few weeks ago the City Council of
Selma passed an ordinance revolving the
saloon licenses on North and Broad
Streets, outside of the fire limits. This
includes the two saloons on North Street
and the one on Broad Street beyond the
depot. These saloons have license
from the State and county that does not
expire until January list and 1t Is ru-
mored on the streets today that at least
one of them has employed counsel and
will contest the right of the city to close
them up until their State and county
license has expired. The city authort-
ties contend that under the charter they
have the right to revoke a license when
ever the city sees proper. tn saloon
men contend other wise. John g. Nor
ris is the man who brought about this
war on the saloons in that section of
the city. He contends that matters have
reached such a point in this part of the
city that his family cannot stay on the
front porch Sunday afternoons and at
night without hearing the vilest oaths
and he has appealed to the Council to
protect him and his family, with the re-
suit that an ordinance was passed re-
voking the licenses in. that part of the
city on and after October /. This Is the
ordinance that some of the whiskey deal
ers propose to test in the courts. The
outcome of the fight will be watched with
the DEEPEST interest by all.

Made Narrow Escape.

Cosby Hays, a popular young man VINO
recently moved from Selma to Birming-
ham, had a narrow escape from being
crushed to death the night of the terrible
crush at the negro Baptist Church In tnat
city. He went with a friend, who was a
reporter on one of the Birmingham papers
to the church on that night. The re-
porter had been detailed to report Booker
washington's speech and had just left
the church when the tragedy occurred.
Mr.. Hays and this reported friend were
not a block away from the church when
the rush for the door was made and
could distinctly hear the cries OF the
wounded and dying. They went back as
fast as they could and saw the result OF
the rush for the door when they reach
ed the church. Mr.. Hays is very popular
in Selma and he has hosts of friends in
this section who will be gratiied that he
escaped from the building In time to Keep
from being crushed to death.

Advertiser Bureau,
Selma. Sept. p.
7 On Friday last. at Moore's gin, few
hundred feet from Tyler Station, small
fire broke out in the cotton, but was soon
extinguished. The fire was in the lint
room and but for the heroic efforts of
those near the ginnery at the time. the
entire plant would haye been consumed.
The cotton in the lint room was packed
and nothing more was thought about the
fire until late in the night Saturday. when
1t was found that the baled cotton in
the yard was on fire. Fifteen bales OF
the cotton were consumed before the
blaze was discovered, and 1t is a total
loss, as there was 10 insurance. But for
the fire being discovered when 1t was
the entire plant mi,'ht have been con-
sumed. 1t Is supposed that ANAL spark
was packed in one of the bales and that
1t burned it's way gradually TO the sur
face, and as soon as 1t reached the air
burst into a blaze and was communicate
ed to the other cotton, packed against
the burning bale. The loss falls heavy
on the owners of the cotton, some OF 1t
belonging to negroes and being all on
earth that they had. Mr.. Moore Is glad
that the fire did not reach his gin, for II
1t had at that hour of the night, there
would have bsen>n way to have saved
the building ana machinery.
