Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Jan. 2. William Ullman, one of the most prominent and prosperous wholesale and retail dry goods merchants of Central Alabama and one of Selma's most valued citizens, died shortly before noon today of peritonitis.
 Day-before yesterday MT. Uullman was taken i'll, but no one thought that he was seriously sick. He was suffering from an attack of peritonitis and last night his condition became alarming. Every one was making inquiry as to how he was all this morning and about u:So, when three or four doctors could be seen all driving toward the Ullman residence as fast as their horses could take him, those who knew his condition were pre- pared for the worst. At five minutes to F o'clock he expired.
 Selma had no more high-toned, upright. honorable citizen than MT. William Ull- man, and there is profound sorrow over the death of the good man.
 MT. Ullman was about 64 years Of age. He was a gallant Confederate soldier and the Lost Cause" never had a more intrepid defender. In peace he was as gentle as a woman; in war he was as brave as a lion.
 For many years MT. Ullman has beer the leading drygoods merchant of Centra Alabama. In long and successful career as merchant his name has remained untarnished, and if William Ullman eye did a dishonorable act your correspon dent has yet to hear of 1t. He was al impulsive man but his impulses were il the right direction. He was generous and charitable toward all and when h. gave up the cares and labors of life on of Selma's noblest, purest, best citizen passed away.

Adopted an Orphan.

Captain W. w. Wilson of Newton. Ala, was in the city this morning. He is big in body, generous of soul. and has a large pocket book to back him up. Some four or five years ago he adopted little girl of the Summerfield Orphans Home and this little one has been a ray of sunshine in his childless home ever since she crossed his threshold. He was sitting in his buggy this morning and by his side sat bright little byo, George Wash ington Clarke, whom he had just taken out of the Home and was carrying him home to adopt him. He will take another little to Newton with him, who will be adopted by pr. Balcome of that place. Captain Wilson is so charmed with the little girl that he has adopted that he wants the little boy to be a playmate and companion for her and he informed your representative that if he liked the little boy and got along nicely with him; that he would come back and get another boy and adopt him, as he said, "I have no children of my own to live for and I might as well adopt few to work for. |"
 Captain Wilson's generous conduct might be initiated by others, and thus relieve the pressure on the Home. and get bright little girls and boys to brighten their homes and make life worth the living.

Now Paying Their Taxes.

The Democratic voters of Dallas Coun- ty are paying their taxes a great deal faster than they have been doing, since the time for barring them out isA draw ing near. The agitation of the news papers and the work of leading Demo- crats has also had a fine effect. Tax Collector Cliff Morrison was seen by your representative this morning and was asked how the poll tax payment was get ting along. He replied most cheerfully:
 They are paying up great deal faster than they did. A good many came up yesterday and from now until February 1st I expect them to come in large num- bers. Some $50 or 500 have paid their poll tax up to date, which will leave some four or five hundred yet liable to pay, who have not done so.
 Only one negro has paid his poll tax in two weeks. Of the five hundred who have paid, and whom you have alluded to in your columns before, nearly all of them paid when I was on my first rounds before the new constitution was ratified. The idea has gotten abroad, caused perhaps, from your article that these five hundred negroes had paid their poll tax in order to qualify themselves for voting under the new constitution. Some of them may have paid with that end in view. but the great bulk of the aANahpSt PoAo oA my AoS AouiuSs uCAOiS the new constitution was adopted and very few have paid up since.'
 Your correspondent is very glad that Mir. Morrison made this statement. Your representative had been under the i'm pression that the negroes were paying their poll tax in greater numbers than the whites, in order to qualify themselves to vote, but Mr. Morrison's statement, quoted above, put to rest that impress sion. They paid the tax on his regular rounds, many of them perhaps not being aware of the fact that they did not have 1t to pay. but simply handed over the dollar-and-a half through the force of habit. But since the agitation about the payment has comfnenced they have learned better and few. if any more. negroes in Dallas will pay their poll tax between now and February 1.
