The Bowie-Edwards Agreement.

Congressman Sgd Bowie has been very
generally commended for his manly stand
in an open letter to Mr.. Edwards of Tai
ladega, In an effort to get fair elections
making the proposition for each of them
to select one inspector at the forthcom-
ing general election in November. This
proposition of Mr.. Bowie's has raised
him on a very high pinnacle in the esti-
nation of his friends in Dallas. Mr.
Bowie was an ardent advocate of a new
Constitution and he accepts it in all that
1t was meant to convey first and fore
most being the elimination of the negro
and a publication of the ballot box. Mr..
Edwards having accepted Mr. Bowie's
Pre- pc sition, Democrats here are wonder
Ing where he will get a Republican at
each polling place in Dallas County to
act as his inspector. To be an inspector,
man must be a qualified elector. There
are only two or three white Republicans
In Dallas Ony sxty-one negroes quail
fled by registration and a good many
o. these are not able to act by reason of
not paying their poll taxes. A large
majority of the sixty-one negroes who
registered live in the city, and In two
thirds of the country beats there is not
qualified Republican voter. II all of
the sixty-one negroes registered were Re-
publicans and entitled to vote and every
oAe oI THEM shoulu go TO the polls and
vote for Mr.. Edwards, and every white
Republican in Dallas should vote for
him, his entire vote would then be below
seventy. a very small number when
the vote that Mr.. Bowie will receive is
taken into consideration. Dallas has. in
round numbers about 200 registered
voters, at least 1900. of whom are quail
fed under the new Constitution, to vote
in November. Seventeen hundred of these
can be gotten out, and thus it will be
seen that Mr.. Bowie will have about
1,6O0 majority in this county. The elm
ination of the negro vote in Shelby, Tai
ladega and Calhoun has cut the Republi-
can vote down in those counties about
thu ee-fourths. This being the case, it
looks like Mr.. Edwards is putting him
self in the ring to be knocked out in
the first round.

Vaughan for Mayor.

A rumor has been in circulation for a
day or SO past that Hon. Watkins NJ.
Vaughan would probably contest with
Captain V b. Atkins the honor of
being the newt Mayor of Selma. A
caucus of Mr.. Vaughan's supporters is
said to have been held and his friends
will enter him as a candidate for the
position. Mr.. Vaughan was seen by
your representative this morning and was
asked If he had heard of the move to get
him into the mayoralty race, and he re-
piled in the affirmative. He did not say,
whether he you'd make the race.
Mr.. Vaughan is a prominent young law
yer of the sienna bar. Four years ago
he was elected to the legislature from
Dallas County and made a fine record
as a member of that body. When
Frances l.. Pettus died Mr.. Vaughan
was chosen to fill his place as delegate
from the Fourth Congressional District
to the Constitutional Convention. Mr..
Vaughan is a popular young man and
should he decide to enter the race would
make a strong bid for Chief Executive
of the city of Selma.
