Democrats Will Vote on Question of Donating the Old Court House to the Public Schools
 of Selma.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma Aug. O. At the approaching Democratic pri- mary on August 9, the Democracy of Dallas County will vote on the question as to whether the old courthouse will be donated to the public schocls of Selma for high school building. The trustees have issued the following address to the voters:
 In the primary election to be held Au- gust 18th, there will be submitted to you the proposition that the county practi- cally donate to Dallas Academy the old courthouse and lot to be used for high school or an industrial school
 There is great need for building for such purposes, where the boys and girls may be educated near home.
 It is proposed to create and maintain a reasonable number of scholarships, en- titling the holders to free tuition in the school-these scholarships to be given out to the most needy and deserving under rules to be adopted after consultation is believed that no better use can be made of this property. If sold by the county it will not realize a large sum, and the money will go into the county treasury and be used for ordinary county purposes. If given to the school, it will be of last ing public benefit.

A. G. Parrish informs your correspond ent that the Barnwell Memorial Fund has now reached the neighborhood of N,209' Montgomery sent in the first donation that has yet come from that city, and 1t was most acceptable. It was the sum of $10. Selma has come up generously and other cities in the State have done likewise. and a better showing is eX- pected from Montgomery. It is proposed to raise between &, GOO and 5000, and take the money and purchase ahome for Mrs BarnWell and the seven children, most or whom are too young as yet to go out into the world and battle for a livelihood. IT there ever was a cause that appealed to the generous-hearted. this Is one Blshop Barnwell occupied a warm place Tn the hearts of the people of Alabama, regard less of denomination. and no nobler trib- ute could he paid to his memory than to raise a fund to purchase a home to shelter those he left from the storms of winter and the Heat of summer. Prob ably Montgomery and other cities are at work raising a fund and will send It Tn all in a lump.

SCENT IN BIRDS.
Feathsred Things Lack the Animals'
 Acute Smelling Power.


 From Sight and Scent in Birds and
 Animals" in Outing.
 Animals follow their noses with ufer- ring Instinct. A dog identifies his master by smelling him. A goat picks her kid from an inclosure of hundreds with her nose After a separation a COW Is never satisfied with her calf until she has thor oughly smeiled it. The feathered family are so deficient as to smell and taste that they so anywhere and eat anything. I nave seen birds contentediy breeding about slaughter houses and sewer discharges where the afr was so contam' mated that my horse would turn up its nose, draw its lips back from it's teeth and groan, and could only secure my material by working with cloth dipped in disinfeotant bound over my lips and nostrfls. The birds eat unspeakable things. It is nothing to find them raling the river banks for worms at the very mouth of a sewer discharge.
 Some of our golden noted, gayly plum aged birds, that have been sung by poets and painted by artists. may be found in the folds cornplacently picking the uEi- digested corn from the droppings of the nerds they follow. Bey ond all question the birds have sight and the animals scent, but where each is defective in one of thesa senses 1t seems compensated for by the greater degree in which 1t pos sesses the other.
