Negroes Are Alarmed.

There is much apprehension and talk among the negroes of Selma over what tomorrow may have in store for this com munity.
 Today their eyes have been turned towards the heavens seeking to discover any sign of the dire calamity which it has been predicted will come Thursday brings ing with it death and disaster, sorrow and suffering.
 It seems that the many tornadoes. floods and hurricanes that have visited various sections of the country have become nrmly impressed on the minds of the ignorant negroes. and some one has started a report that an old negress pass- ed through Selma a few days ago and predicted that fearful tornado would strike this city Thursday and the loss of life would be fearful.
 The story further is that the old woman was run out of Birmingham on account Of her dire predictions and that she just passed through Selma, leaving message behind her, fearing to stop and ,'deavor- ing to put as much space as possible be- tween her and the to-be-stricken com- munity.
 Whether such negro woman passed through the city is not known but the word has gone round the entire conmuni- ty and in many churches tonight prayers were offered up that the calamity be averted.

He Wanted Protaction.

Into Mayor Atkins office this morning walked negro who gave his name es D. V. Jemison and said he was pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. just off Broad Street north of the railroad tracks. He told the mayor that he was sent to six him if there was any way for his people to get protection from a sect who were preaching heresy and who were doing harm in that they were preaching con- trary to the Bible and the teachings of Christ.
 The colored preacher on being asked from whom he wanted protection, stated that the sect was known as The Holiness Tribe" and that their principal man, Carnie by name. was telling the followers that God did not know any Baptists or Methodists and that the preachers and deacons of these churches were leading the people to hell.
 The sect once had tent but of late has been holding meetings in a little store a few doors above Tabernacle Church. The mayor told the pastor that the law could not prevent people from believing as they chose and that so long as they kept an orderly place they would not be molested by the law He suggested, how ever, that as the Holiness Tribe had only about sixty converts. with the several hundred members of the other denomina- tions united against them. they could by fighting them with the sword of the true gospel, rout them and turn the feet of the straying brethren into paths that are straight.

WORK OF INCENDIARY.
Attempt Made to Burn Store at Demo-
 polls,

pol1S.
 Demopolis, June 17.-(Special. .)-It was discovered yesterday morning by Mayor Ely that an attempt had been made, at some time during the previo IS night, to burn his store buildings on Washington Street. The stores are occupied by L.. B. McCarty & Co.,, and George G. Bley.
 In the rear is shed room extending the full length of the building, and it was here that the incsndiary attempted to set fire to the property. While the evidence is plain. so far there is no clue to the criminals. Should the attempt have been successful in all probability the result would have been disastrous. not only to this building, but to the entire block.
 The funeral Monday morning of A. F. McCarty. whose sudden death resulted from a stroke of paralysis Thursday in Now York. was attended by large con- course of sorrowing friends Lnd relatives. The interment was tt the Houston ceme- tery. At the grave the Knights of Pythias took charge and E. s. Cornish conducted the impressive services of this organiza- ton.

 In an address to the children of the First Presbyterian Sunday School at Belle Factory yesterday evening, Con- gressman William Richardson touched upon the opportunities offered ambitious young men in the South as compared with other sections of the country. He said It Is folly for young men to leave the south to seek work and to grow up with the country, while if they remain here they will grow up with what in his opin- ion will in the next thirty years develop into the richest and most populous sec ton of the United States. Judge Rich ardson claims that there are more op- portunities for advancement in the South for young men at the present day than in any other part of the world.
 City Clerk Pollard has been instructed to make a demand upon the Southern Railroad for back taxes amounting to $500. The tracks of the railroad in the city limits have been measured recently and value placed upon them. and 1t is found that the assessment for several years past has been insufficient
