Magnus worrell Promoted.

A letter was received in Selma yester- day from Captain William Henry White, president of the Selma Water Company, promoting Magnus worrell to the position of superintendent and secretary of that company.
 On account of his health, Captain Hugh Haralson resigned the position of super intendent, totake effect on October l, and Mir worrel was promoted to the super intendency in addition to his position of secretary, which he has filled with So much satisfaction for many years.
 MT. Worrell thoroughly understands the water works business of Selma and Cap tain White made a fine selection when he promoted this old employe of the com pany to the head of the whole concern.
 Matters between the city and the water company have been running very smooth ly of late. The pressure has been goeo at all of the recent fires. and if Super intendent Worrel can keep up his record of the first few months, having practi- cally been in charge since Captain Haral- sons illness, there will be little or no cause for complaint at the service Of the water company.

Is for a High License.

P. J. Loughlin. Councilman from the Fifth Ward, said to your correspondent this morning:
 At the next meeting of the City Coun- cil I shall introduce an ordinance for high whiskey license for Selma. I do not know yet whether I will place the figure at $1,o0o or q. 800. I mean for the city to get that much out of it, outside of the County State. and United States. That amount would put cheap people out of the whiskey business and bring in a fine revenue to the city, and would cut down the number of saloons about one half I think I will have the backing of the best men in the City Council on this proposition, and if not I will always think I ought to have had
 There are a good many people here who favor a high license instead of the dis pensary. which is now being agitated, and Councilman Loughlin's proposition to run the city's license up from 300 eo 500 per cent will probably come in for its share of public discussion. The city revenue from saloons at the present time is only $500 each per annum. Saloon men who are weak financially will probably fight Councilman Loughlin's proposition almost as vehemently as they would the dispensary idea.

Says It Is a Nuisance.

Said a prominent resident of Selma Street to your correspondent this morn- ing:
 II wish you newspaper men would touch dp the COW herders, who drive large droves of milch cows to and from the pas lures every day. Many of us take great pride in our yards and lawns. If gate is left open the cows, left In the street while the herder goes around the corner to get a COW out of lot. walk into mans yard and help themselves to choice roses, potted flowers and rare shrubbery that has cost weeks and weeks of hard labor and care and great deal of money, to get them to grow. Then. again. great many are trying to beautfy with grass the little plots of ground between the side walks and the gutters. When the ground Is wet the cattle walk upon these grass plots and cut the grass to pieces with their hoofs and 1t is mashed into the ground in such a manner that the whole is so disfigured and ruined that a person ceases to take an interest in such im- provements. It is exasperatlng to walk out of your house and find from three to a half dozen cattle browsing among your choice roses Something ought to be done to put a stop to this. It IS not the

EAV0kS A DISpENSARY
REV. IRA W. BoswEIL CHANGES
 HIS OPINION.
Pastor of First Christian Church of Selma Breaches Strong Sermon. Magnus Worrell Raised to
 Good Place.
Advertiser Bureau,

/ Selma, Oct. 6.
 Rev. Ira W. Boswell, pastor of the First Christian Church, preached q ser mon on the dispensary question last night to large audience composed of leading men of the city. politicians. lawyers and saloon Keepers. Tn fact his audience was composed of all classes.
 About two months ago Mr. Boswell preached a sermon and came out strongly against the dispensary. Last night he preached in favor of the dispensary and explained his reasons for changing. He said that "a wise man sometimes changes, but a fool, never"
 He said that the action of the City Democratic Executive Committee. in turning down the petition of fifty Demo- crats to have an expression of the will of the people at the ballot box. had more to do with the change in his attitude than anything else. He was . Democrat, had voted for Cleveland and Bryan. and while he was not a political preacher he had stumped Kentucky for Bryan and was making a speech for him when the clock struck F on the morning of the election. He said he would not wage personal war on the men engaged in the business, for some few of them were his warm per sonal friends and it was the business and not the men that he was fighting. He ndQ emDdTkeQ III tnlb DuSiiicsS anu hO was in the war to the finish, his coat off and his sleeves rolled up.
 MT. Boswell is an orator and his descrip- ton of Beltshazzars feast and the hand writing on the wall was piece of intense oratory that held his audience on every word. He did not say a word that the dealers in the business could object to- from a personal standpoint, but he bombarded the business of dealing in whiskey with powerful logic, keen satire whitening sarcasm and lofty flights of oratory.
 Mir. Ernest Lamar, the leader of the dis pensary fight, informed your reporter this morning that the fight had not yet fairiy opened and that he was going to arrange to have some speeches delivered at the Academy of Music on the dispensary issue.
 It is said that Rev. Ira W. Boswell and Colonel W. W. Quarles will be two or the principal speakers. but others Will also tall hand

Clarke County oil Wells.

Rev. T. J. Mangum and S. Coale of Jackson, are in the city today en route to Montgomery to attend the State Sum day school Conference of the Methodist Church. In speaking of the prospect for oil in Clarke County MT. Coale said:
 We have struck oil, but whether m paying quantities remains to be seen. It is a fact that the quality of oil is very fine Samples of this oil have been brought to Jackson from the Bush well, which Is some eight miles from Jackson, but the officials of that company refuse to talk They have no stock for sale, are not trying to boom or depress oil lands. but are simply trying to find oil sup pose one reason they are so reticent about the matter Is that they do not care to be flooded with big lot of inquiries and having the whole country flooded with oil prospectors. If they strike oil in paying quantities they will make money out of it, If they do not strike 1t rich then they have lost nobody's money but their own, and the company seems to have all the money they want for all practical purposes. They are going about their business in quiet, matter Of fact. practical way, and all that they are asking Is to be let alone.
 "McGrew's well Is also about eight miles from town and the same mystery seems to surround it that has enveloped the Edwards well. I have heard that the machinery to make final test at the Bush- Edwards well has been or dered. This machinery will cost N,OOO and after the test Is made, then 1t will be known whether there is sufficient quantities of oil in the Jackson field to work. I understand that work has been suspended on a well that was being sunk for oil in Washington County. The well had reached a depth of 2,O0O feet. and no oil being struck. the projectors thought it would be useless to go down any deep CT, so work was suspended at that depth
 "Of course our section would get on a great boom if oil should be struck Tn paying quantities. Whether that will be done remains to be seen. All of us hope that oil will be struck in paying quan- titles. If it Is. Clarke County will be- come immensely wealthy and our oil will be foated on the bosom of the river to Mobile bay and then out to the marts of the world. With plenty of cheap oil in Clarke County Mobile would become one of the greatest manufacturing cities in the United States. We are all waiting and watching and hope to hear some favorable news at an early date"
