Card from MT. DunwodY.

Editor Advertiser:-Your Selma corre- spondent. in his summarizing of the postoffice field here. seems to single me out for his thinly yelled objections. If in this he thinks me Mrs. Force's most formidable competitor. l have no objec- tlons, but in comparing Captain Webb and myself. when stating that was not a resident. he should also have mentioned that Captain Webb has not been one for several years, his property interes, and real residence being in Birmingham. as is well known. have paid taxes here for years and claim no other home. As to business mems preferences, this idea believe originated with himself. If any satisfaction to him. I would state that in my opinion Mrs. Force has ten times the actual knowledge of postal affairs that Captain Webb has. and in physical ability he has none the advantage. It takes year or two for postmaster to find out just where he Is at. and still longer to learn how far to carry out his or her ideas, without putting up against department restrictions: Very respect fully.

Mobile, Jackson & Kansas City Rail- road Makes Proposition to

 man Badly Burned.

Mobile, Jan. 6.-(Special)-It seems highly probable that Mobile will have a fine union station before the close of the year just begun. At a recent meet ing of the general council the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Railroad. made a proposition to the general council to build a union depot to cost anywhere from $10o, ,0OO to $25o. 0O0 if site could be secured and terms arranged for use of the depot by other railroads entering the city. The matter was referred to spe- cial committee of the Council, and that committee will have a meeting tomorrow night. Some time ago the city withdrew a suit against the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad pending in the Supreme Court of the State. on condition that the Louisville and Nashville road would build a union depot but although the suit was withdrawn the condition has not as yet been complied with, though there have been numerous conferences on the sub- ject, and it is generally reported that the delay has been caused by inability to get a site agreeable to all the rail- roads entering the city.

NOT PAYING POLL TAX
DALLAS CITIZENS MAY DIS
 FRANCHISE THEMSELVES.
James c. Privett and Miss Louise Mallory are Married-Negro Badly Cut by Drunken
 White Man.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Jan. 6. |.
 Tax Collector Morrison was seen by your correspondent this morning and was asked how many voters had paid their poll tax of $1.50 in order to qualify them to vote under the new Constitution. Two or three hundred was his reply. The voters in the country are u1der the i'm pression that a deputy will be sent around to collect the tax. but as there is no fee for collecting the poll tax l cannot afford to send out deputy.
 The consequence will be that hundreds of white men in Dallas County will be deprived of the privilege of voting. There are lawyers and merchants in Selma who have not paid their poll tax. None but qualified electors can vote in Demo- cratic primary and it begins to look like a great many men are going to put them selves in the position where they will not he able to help select the officials of Dallas County when the next primary rolls round.
 If the .white men of Dallas do not pay this $l.50 poll tax and thus deprive them selves of the right of citizenship. they will have no one to blame but them selves. It will do no good to kick after to February to pay the poll tax. There are about 2.4O0 white voters in Dallas County. All these over the age of 45 will be entitled to register and vote lector Morrison thinks that between 800 and 1000 will pay the poll tax. That will leave some 600 or 700 white men sn Dallas, between the ages of H and 45. who would be entitled to vote. if they paid the poll tax, but who will be re- fused the privilege when they go to de- l posit their ballots in either the primary | or general election.
 This state of affairs has been seriously | discussed by the leading Democrats of the County during the past few days. Chairman w. W. Burns of the County Democratic Executive Committee, has | sent out letters to the committeeman in l the different beats asking them to urge | the white men to pay their poll tax, but | they do not seem to heed the warning. | A move Is on foot to call the Executive Committee together to urge the import | ance of paying this poll tax.
 This letbargy among the white men of | the black belt. especially in the strong Democratic beats. Is hard to understand. At the present rate of paying the poll | tax there will be beats in Dallas County where not a single man, white or black, under the age of 45 will be entitled to a VOtR
