 Cotton Scarce.

Selma. September 4.-(Special )-Last night about midnight John Brack John son, a negro from Marion Junction, this county, attempted to board an outgoing freight train at the coal shute. about mile from the city, and fell between two cars.
 Half the train passed over him. hor- ribly mangling his body and causing in- stant death. The negro and compan- ion had walked out to the shute to board the train, expecting to steal a ride to Birmingham. Johnson made the first swing and his companion seeing his fate desisted and remained long enough to tell of the accident. Then he skipped out and has not been seen since.
 Thus far Selma has received only 97 bales of cotton since September l. Last year nearly two thousand bales had come in up to this time. Twelve and one eighth cents is quoted for good middling, despite the slump in the future market, owing to the bureau report. A bale of cotton sold yesterday afternoon brought $S1, and two bales netted their owner today $157 .35.

GOVERNOR PARDONS
 CLARE HUMPHREYS
LAST ACT IN ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS MURDER CASES IN THE
 HISTORY OF PULLMAN COUNTY.

Montgomery, September 4.-(special.)- J. One of the most famous murder cases in the history of Cullman county ended yesterday with the governors pardon of Clare Humphreys for the killing of Fred Schueing.
 Humphreys was serving a fifteen years sentence, having finished two and half years of the term. Humphreys killed Schueing on the streets of Cullman. Schueing, according to the evidence, ap- preached Humphreys and applied an in- sulting epithet, at the same time striking him with the back of his hand. Hum- phreys pulled a pistol and shot schueing dead.
 The governors endorsement of the par don was as follows:
 This man was convicted of manslaugh- ter in Cullman county The judge who tried him writes that it is doubtful if he was guilty of any crime against the law at all and that he has already been suf- flciently punished, considering the legal doubt attached to the offense. The solic itor frankly confesses that had he been one of the jurors he would not have con Victed the prisoner. Besides there are filed with the papers letters from every official of Cullman county, from a major ity of the county commissioners, eight members of the grand jury and a large number of respectable people. In addi- tion to reasons herewith submitted 1t ap- pears that Humphreys is a man in ex- treme i'll health, without physical vigor, ana is not only of no consequence to the state but a burden upon it and confne- ment Is very likely to materially shorten his life.
 In consideration of all the representa- tons made, l am constrained to and do now order a pardon issued"

DECATUR
Military Company Elects captain-Sa-
 loon Men Are Uneasy.

Decatur September -(Specal)-Dick Aoams Rifles company E, Alabama Ma tional Guard, have elected former First Lieutenant Hal Long captain of the com pany and Walter Smith first lieutenant. Both of these young men are well known in military circles of the state and their election is a well deserved honor.> DICK Adams Rifles rank at the top in state military circles and it is largely due to the unceasing work of Captain Long that the company occupies the high position that it does today.
 The prohibition question in the Deca- turs is being strongly agitated by friends of prohibition and 1t seems that the sa- loon men are getting quite uneasy. There will be introduced in the state legislature, now in session at Montgomery, bill pro viding for prohibition for the two Deca- turs The bill provides that an election be held on December S. and should the measure carry, it will go into effect Janu- ary 1, 1904. The saloon men of the two Decaturs are circulating petitions, which will be sent to the state senator and the members of the legislature from this county asking that the law, in the event it becomes a law, not go into effect until July l. 1904, in order that the saloon men of the Decaturs may have time to dis pose of their stock of goods, fixtures, etc By many it is believed that the bill will pass both branches of the legislature and that it will become a law by the vote of the people.
 Mrs. Freda Rudisell died in East Deca- tur yesterday after a long illness. She was the wife of the Rev MT. Rudisell.
 John Knight has received a telegram from Andrew Carnegie stating that he has deposited to the credit of the Decatur library S10000, subject to the order of the library committee. of which MT. Knight is a member The lot has been purchased for the building and MT. Knight says work will commence within thirty days.

J., yesterday, would reach home by the Southern railway to- morrow night at Il o'clock. The funeral will, perhaps take place here Sunday afternoon and the body will be inferred in the city cemetery. MT. Harris was one of the best known young men in the state, having been secretary to the Supreme court judges of Alabama at Montgomery for many years. His father, Col. c. c. Harris Is a prominent lawyer here and is president of the First National bank of Decatur Many telegrams of condo- lence have been received from prominent men all over the state.
