 Captain Walters is experienced in his work. Before his advancement to the of flee of chief he was Captain of Police and his experience has been widened during the time he has been at the head of the Department. He is quite familiar with his duties which he well knows and faith fully performs.

Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, February Q.
 The City Court of Selma this morning took up the cases of the State against Horace Jones. colored, charged with mur- der. and of the State against Ephraim Firth. charged with murder.
 Horace Jones entered a plea of man. slaughter in the first degree and was sem fenced to the penitentiary for a term of eighteen months. Horace is a boy aged l4. He killed negro girl south of Sel- ma while trying to separate her and his sister who were fighting. Horace had a shot gun and during the scuftle for its possession he pulled the trigger.
 The case of the State against Ephraim Firth. charged with the murder of Will liam Cookery. colored. is attracting much attention. Frith, with Wade Cawthon and Thomas A. Nichols, who was con- vtcted of manslaughter yesterday. are alleged to have murdered Cookery last May by throwing him from bridge across Valley Creek. The accused arc white men and it is said they were un- der the influence of strong drink when the alleged murder occurred.
 The case against Frith will probably go to the jury tomorrow The witnesses for the prosecution have not all been exam ined but the case will doubtless be ready to go to the jury tomorrow evening

Atkins for Mayor.

V. B. Atkins, President of the Coun- ell, formally announces today that he is a candidate for the office of Mayor of the city of Selma. At present he has no rival and political prophets believe he will be chosen without opposition.
 Captain Atkins is one of the promi- nent business men of Selma and has done much for the advancement of the city s interests. His long service as a. Council man and as President of the Council has well trained him to be an executive officer and his selection in the coming primary would be as pleasing as it now seems sure.
