He has a very high fever and the wound on his head had to be opened and the pus washed out yesterday. It is not known whether his internal injuries are serious. He was reported to be slightly better this morn- ing. though he is not out of danger by any means.

NEWS OF CENTRAL CITY
ADVANCE GUARD OF SECOND
 REGIMENT ARRIVES.
With Fair Weather One of the Most Satisfactory Encampments Ever Held Will Be Had by
 the Soldiers.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, July The advance guard of the End Regiment | arrived in Selma Sunday and their uni
 forms attracted the attention of all To- morrow the entire regiment will be here
 and Selma will be turned over to the military boys for whole week. Among thcse who put in an appearance yss.e.- day were: Captain John D. Elliott Bir- mingham. Quartermaster on the Coloners staff: Captain w. T. Sheehan, Commis- sary on the Coloners stan; Captain Dud- ley Williamson, Adjutant First Batallicn, Montgomery: Tobe Folmer. band leader, Montgomery; Commissary Sergeant John Biggio Montgomery: Regimental Steward l.. N. Collins. Birmingham. Charles Hub- bard of the Montgomery Greys also came over to make some preparations for his company in the way of extra accommo- dations. which they will pay for.
 The tents and equipments of the Regi- nlent arrived Saturday night and the cars containing them were placed on a side track convenient to the electric car line, near the depot. Superintendent Hall of the street railway system had some flat cars there and the tents and equipments were placed on these fiat cars and at ? p. m. yesterday all of the effects of the regiment were on the ground, ready to be put up.
 Captain Elliott was at Elkdale Park when the fiat cars were unloaded and he put large force of hands at work erect ing the tents. and ny night great many tents were up. ready for the reception of the troops. Hundreds of Selmians rode to the Park Sunday afternoon and watched the men at work. arranging for the reception of the military.
 Just before the arrival of the trains from Demopolis and Tuscaloosa the Scl- ma Guards. composed of some of the finest young men in the Central City. will assemble at the depot. welcome the com panies of those two cities and will escort them to Elkdale when the encampment will be formally opened. At 2:S0 p. m. a special train over the Western from Montgomery will arrive, bringing the two companies from Montgomery, and one each from Eufaula, Phoenix City, Opeli- ka, Tuskegee, Prattville. Luverne and Wetumpka.
 From present indications the encamp- ment will be a great success. The people of Selma are taking the greatest possible interest in the coming of the soldier boys. and great deal of social attention will be shown them. All of the officers who came to Selma yesterday went to Elkdale Park in the afternoon and with one ac- cord they pronounced 1t an ideal place for an encampment. There are advan tages at Elkdale that are not surpassed by any other camp grounds in Alabama It has but one drawback, and that is the drill grounds will be sticky in case of wet spell. There are several acres of sandy, level land few blocks nearer the city, and the drilling can be carried on there, 1t matters not how much rain falls.
 Selma Is delighted to have the soldiers and it is thought, after this encamp- ment, Selma will be selected as the per- manent place of camp for the regiment.

W. B. Walker Arrested.

Gus Stein, the negro hackman who was shot down on Green Street at o'clock Saturday morning, and who was carried to the colored department of the city in- hrmary, died from the effects of his wounds Sunday morning. The negro suf- fered eXcruciating pain, and while he recognized those who approached his bed ! side, he did not seem to know who shot him, or where he was when the fatal ball entered his body. The negro was in a drunken stupor when he was shot and he was telling the truth when he said he did not know who shot him. After his death the doctors made an examination of his body and located the ball, which they cut out. It was from fl pistol.
 Eva Clayton, one of the women, who was arrested. gave bond as was stated in these columns. Inez. the other wo- man. and who is supposed to know more about who fired the fatal pistol ball than any one else, succeeded in giving bond this morning. They are charged In the warrant with assault to murder It is not thought that either one of them had anything to do with shooting the negro, but the warrant was made out against them to hold them as witnesses more than anything else.
 William R. Walker, who is supposed to be connected with the killing of the negro, came back from Camden last night and went to the Pettus House, where he spent the night. He went to his place of busi- ness at the Adler Liquor Company this morning and shortly after he went to work Sheriff Frank M. Blackwell arrest ed him and put him in jail. The first warrant that Sheriff Blackwell swore out against Walker charged him with assault with intent to murder. After the death of the negro the warrant was changed, charging him with murder.
 The warrants were sworn out before Mayor Mcleod and the hearings were set for July 18th. Mir. Walkers friends made an effort this morning to get the case tried immediately. but Mayor Mo I,eod would not consent.

opELrKA's POSTAL RECEIPTS.
Heavy Increase in Sale of Stamps
 The City Growing.

4AC SAty &A0WAA0s
 Opelika, July 7.--tSpecial.)-T sale of stamps at the Opelika postoffice for the year ending March sist, 1901, amounted to SS,200. The amount for the year end ing March 31st of this year was $s,i50. At the present rate of increase, by March 1st, 1905, Opelika will have city mail delivery which hardly ever comes to a city of less than 10000 people.
 On every hand new buildings are go- Ing up Work will begin in a few days on an elegant new school building and property is rapidly. advancing in all sec tiohs of the city. The outlook Is glowing and the people are very proud of the ex- cellent record their town Is making.
 The City Council of Opellka has grant ed to D. T. Hudmon. merchant: A. P. Hodge, capitalist. and F. A. Barr or Pittsfield, Mass, a franchise to operate an electric car line on all the streets of this city, and to construct such buildings and other plants as may be necessary for the successful conduct of the busi- ness. This is the new line contemplated 10 run between Opelika and Auburn with power generated by the falls at Wrights Mills. Two companies were after the franchise and both seemed very anxious to secure it. It Is current comment that work on the new line will be commenced as soon as the necessary surveys can be completed. The significance of this move for this section can hardly be realized. It means the expenditure of vast sums of money here by Northern people. which will have the effect of interesting home capital also and the results are beyond the reach of conjecture.
 J. l.. Renfro, manager and owner of the Opelika Ice and Cold Storage Com pany, informs your correspondent that as early as possible he will increase the capacity of the ice plant to fifty tons daily. The present factory cannot supply the demand. The new plant cannot be installed, however, in time to supply the customers this year.
 Mrs. S. A. Dowdell. eldest daughter of the late Governor William J. Sanford, Is critically III at her home in this city. Her family and friends are very uneasy about her condition. She Is a Christian of rare traits of character and possesses many of the attributes of her distin- guished father.
 Several sections of the county have had excellent rains. and in some places much wind and lightning. One of the churches at Phenlx City was struck by lightning and seriously damaged. The rain came too late to gave corn. but will be of vast benefit to cotton. ,sIt
