CHARGES OF FRAUD
SENSATION CAUSED IN DALLAS
 COUNTY.
The Matter Will Probably Be Sifted by the Executive Committee
 Today-Court of Inquiry to Be Held.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Sept. F. A considerable furry was occasioned in political circles this morning by rumors of fraud in Martins Beat. in the race be- tween Massey Wilson and Alex Garber in the recent primary. These rumors have been afioat since the primary, but they were thought to be unfounded. This morning. however, it was positively stated by some that there is something wrong in Martins Beat,
 There are twenty-six registered voters at Martins, three of whom are negroes and three others cannot vote because of non-payment of pcll tax or other causes. The returns from Martins Station show that eighteen votes were cast on the day of the recent primary last Monday, and Massey Wilson received all of them. | he returns indicate that all of the names were written by one man, except three or four. One man whose name was signed to the poll list, informs your correspon- dent that he was not in Martins Beat on the day of the primary and says 1T he had been there he would have cast his vote for Alex Garber. Every man Is supposed to sign the poll list himself and yet one mans name is spelled wrong O nthat document. The following names are signed to the returns, as purporting to have held the election at that pre- cinet last Monday; E. ,l B; Martin J. M, It is more than likely that Martins box will be contested tomorrow when the Executive Committee nets, on the ground of fraud. It Is to be sincerely hoped that the managers can show that eigh- teen votes were cast. The Wilson men in Dallas do not desire to carry this election by fraud and they want the matter thoroughly sifted.

Inquiry to Be Held.

Lieutenant Colonel H. B. May of Mont gomery is in the city. He informed'your correspondent that a court to inquire into the conduct of the Selma Guards, at the recent encampment, would convene in this city at an early date and that the charges against the officers and privates of that command would be thoroughly sifted. colonel May being the senior officer Will preside over the court. The other mem- bers of the court of inquiry will be: Major C. R. Bricken of Luverne: Captain r. S. Hunter of Wetumpka; Captain F. E. Joseph of Montgomery and Captain O.. A. Dickey of Luverne.
 It will be remembered that one day the Selma Guards at least a large part of the command, marched out of camp at Elkdale Park and came to the city. A good deal of excitement was occasioned in camps by the conduct of the men and a provost guard was sent after them. good many of the men were arrested and put in the guard house. The men made charges against their commanding officer, Captain Quinn and matters looked very serious for a time. Colonel Graves. however. acted with a great deal Of dis cretion in the matter and had court of inquiry appointed to investigate the matter Up to now it has not been con venient for the court to convene The day set for the investigation is said to be October l. As nothing has been heard from the court of inquiry it was thought by all that the matter had been dropped but it seems that Colonel Graves is just as much in earnest about the investign- tion as he was the day the alleged act oi tnsubordinaton and assertion took place
 Matters between the commandlnS or fcers and men have been smcothed over by mutual explanations and the Guards have been drilling regularly since en- campment
