gave way to It completely he would
spend all OF his time In machine shops.
Young Vanderbilt showed that he
had ideas and determination much out
of the ordinary when he he'd his dis

gagement to Miss Grace Wilson. The
elder Vanderbilt commanded him TO
break the engagement, making II plain
that unless he did he would te practi.

the power and wealth which conferred

This meant loss in Eaney alone OF
over $40OOO,OOO sum which would
have caused most men to ponder deep

young Vanderbilt's decision was in-
Simultaneous and positive. II was In Ia

His father kept his word. As the
eldest living son. Cornelius. according
to ull precedent In the Vanderbilt fam

Young Cornelius was never disheart-
ened by the great loss he suffered In
wealth and prestige. In the fve and n

father he has worked incessantly and
with good results. He began by In

SELMA

Selma, July 1s.-(Special.) )-Sam Gray son, a negro brakeman on the Southern Railway, died last night at the hospital in this city from injuries received during the day in an accident that occurred at Marion Junction. Grayson went between two cars to make coupling and got his foot caught in a switch. Before he could extricate himself the cars had passed over his leg. He was brought to the city and the member amputated but the shock was too much and he never recovered.
 It is a source of comment in Selma that such little interest seems to be taken in the location of the public building au- thorized at the session of Congress just adjourned. The date on which bids may be put in expires in a few days and if there are many bids in they have been kept very quiet. There are a number of sites that might be available, but various objections are brought up. It will be impossible to get a site on either of the business streets so one further re- moved will have to be taken.
 On next Friday Camp Jones, U. c. V.. will give it's annual barbecue and the veterans are looking forward with no little interest to the event.

TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa, July 1S.-(Special )-Many Tuscaloosians are now much interested in artesian wells and there is some talk of having a number of them bored in the city.

HUNTSVILLE IS
 BUSY IN POLITICS
ANNOUNCEMENT OF CAPT. JOHN sToN AND cHAs. E. WALLER IS ABSORBING TOPIC OF COMMENT AMONG PUBLIC MEN.

Huntsville, July 1s.-(special 1.-The all- absorbing topic among the politicians of this city just now is the announcement of ex-Goyernor Joseph F. Johnston for Governor and Hon. Charles E. Waller for Lieutenant Governor. The strength of Governor Johnston and his running mate in the Eighth Congressional district is problematical They may carry Lauder dale, Jackson and Morgan Counties, but the remaining counties, including Madi- son, are strong for Governor Jellcs and Dr. R. M. Cunningham. Dr. Cunningham is a native of Lawrence County and was reared there, and this fact, as well as his wide acquaintance among the people of the secticn will insure him the support of a majority of the northern tier of counties.
 It is likely that Governor Johnston will wage a vigorous campaign in Madison County. Until his contest with Senator Morgan and his opposition to the consti- tutional convention. Governor Johnston was strong here, but since then his fol- lowing has dwindled away to a mere handful of machine politicians.
