Birmingham. March 11.-(Special.)-Th dead body of Peter Gingrich, German convict, who was working in slope No 2 of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company, near Pratt City, found, ex- plains his absence since Monday. The body was found in an abandoned division of the mine with a piece of corn sack drawn tIg It about his neck. He had been choked to death by his own hands or by an unknown antagonist.
 It appears that Gingrich was sent up from Russell County on a charge of tramping. He was to serve two months, his sentence to have expired May !. He was fl years of age. He was assigned to work in the mines and reported for labor Monday morning. In the afternoon he was misseA. He was searched for and his body was found. The German had taken an old sack, tore it into strips and then drew the improvised rope about his neck
 Coroner Paris investigated the case. A rumor prevailed that negro had threat ened to kill the German, but this could not be substantiated. Gingrich lived in Woodford County, Illinois, where he has a brother living. It is believed that feel ing the disgrace of being sent to the mines, he committed suicide.

FRENCH DEBATE SIGNIFICANT
No Longer are Insinuations Against
 EnPland Heard.

New York. March 1.-The importance of the debate in the French Chamber of Deputies today, says dispatch from Paris, via London, to The Times. lay in what 1t revealed regarding certain note worthy tendencies. Not so long ago, the dispatch points out, 1t was impossible for some of the speakers to enter the tribune without making unfriendly insin- nations directed toward England.
 The salutary spectacle of a concert of the powers regarding the Macedonian question, the correspondent continues, is merely a continued suggestive lesson taught by the events at Pekin. It Is evi- dent from the altered tone of the French public utterances regarding England that the moral of the Venezuelan affair and the British attitude therein has not been lost upon French politicians of all shades. It's lesson, doubly taught, is that African, Asiatic and European questions can now be discussed without animus towards England

Advertiser Bureau. Selma Mar0b II 1Q02

The Democratic Executive Committee for the city of Selma was called to order today at 12 o'clock by F. M. Wood. chair man, in the office of the Register in Chancery at the County court house. The meeting was held for the purpose of tabu lating the votes from Mondays election. hearing any contests that might be brought before the committee and re- organizing for the next two years.
 As stated in today's Advertiser the vote for Cemetery Sexton showed a majority of only four for Pfeiffer over Brislin and 1t has been rumored since yesterday that Brislin would contest the ten challenged votes that had been cast Monday. The closeness of the vote and the popularity of the two men had caused a great deal of interest to center around the action of the committee this morning, and large crowd of citizens were present to watch the outcome of the rumored contest.
 Messrs Brislin and Pfeiffer were both represented by attorneys who held con sultation and agreed to go oyer the con tested votes together and ascertain whether the votes that were challenged would change the result before any formal contest was instituted.
 Their examination of the challenged votes showed that there were three from the Fourth, two from the Second and five from the Fifth and that even though all the challenged votes were thrown out the result would still leave MT. Pfeifter majority of one vote over Mir. Brislin. In view of this fact MT. Brislin decided not to enter any contest before the committee The tabulation of the vote by the com mittee showed substantially the same figures as given in The Advertiser of yes terday.
 After counting the vote and declaring the result the committee proceeded to organize for the ensuing two years. Cap tain R. D. Walker was unanimously elected chairman and Henry Franelich, the former incumbent, was chosen sec retary. The committee as 1t now stands consists of the following members: First Ward, T. w. Barker. Theo Lacey; Second Ward, R. D. Walker, J. Hooper Adams; Third Ward, John F. Buhler Henry Franelich; Fourth Ward, Aaron Leonard, Frank Miller; Fifth Ward, R. H. Burfitt' Bernard Gay.

STRAWBERRIES IN cULLMAN.
Cantaloupe and Fruit Culture Also
 Discussed by Farmers.

Cullman. March IA very successful farmers institute was held here recently. Strawberry, canteloupe and fruit culture was mostly agitated Many contracts were made for the raising of strawberries and the Rock Ford cante- loupes, which are to be brought to Cull- man and shipped in car load lots. by the Cullman Farmers Association to North ern markets. All these fruits do well here and have an exceptionally fine flavor. Heretofore the fruit-growers have mostly shipped to commission houses. from some of which the returns were very small, e good deal below the market price. Now the farmers can ship through the associa- ton and all receive their respective profit. Non-members can sell to the association for $1 per crate cash at the depot, being good deal better than shipping to uure- liable commission men. They can raise easily from 150 to 300 crates of twenty- four quarts each per acre, making q net profit of $135 to $250 per acre. which great ly beats cotton-raising.

SOUGHT NO ALLIANCE
ARGENTINE'S MESSAGE TO
 SECRETARY HAY.
It Was Merely the Official Recogni- ton by His Government of the business of the Monroe
 Doctrine.

Washington, March 1.-The following statement was given out tonight at the legation of the Argentine Republic:
 Recent publications referring to the note of instructions sent by the Argentine Government to it's minister in Washing ton. Dr. Garcia Merou, in regard to some of the features of the Venezuelan incl dent, give the erroneous impression that Argentina asked for an alliance with the United States, and that its proposal was rejected by the Secretary of State.
 Tn fact. the dispatch of Dr. Drago, Minister of Foreign Relations of the Ar genuine Republic, aimed only to explain to his diplomatic agent in Washington the views of his home Government relative to the coercive collection of public debts of American States by European nations. and instructed him to convey those views to Secretary Hay, expressing the hope that the doctrine of public law set forth by the Argentine Government should prove acceptable to the United States"
 Dr. Drago says further on this: "The compulsory and immediate demand for payment at a given moment of a public debt by means of force would not pro- duce other than the ruin of the weaker nations and the absorption of their Gov ernment together with all its inherent faculties by the powerful nations of the earth"
 Dr. Drago explicitly disclaims any in- tention to defend bad faith or irregularity and voluntary insolvency. The only thing that the Argentine Republi maintains is the principle already accepted, that there cannot be European territorial expansion in, nor occupation of this continent be- cause their unfortunate conditions might oblige them to put off the fulfillment of itc Tho nrtpctpla uvh ua maintain is that public debt cannot give rise to an armed intervention, and much less to the territorial occupation of the soil of American nations by any European power.
 Mir. Muro left a copy of the communi- cation received from his Minister of For eign Relations with the Secretary of State. In his reply, MT. Hay did not ex- press assent or dissent to the doctrine of public law set forth in the note of the Argentine Minister of Foreign Relations.
 Secretary Hay stated further that the Government of the United States would be glad to See the justice of claims by one State against another growing out of individual wrongs or national obliga- tlons, as well as the guarantees for the execution of whatever award may be made left to the decision of an impartial arbitral tribunal before which the liti- gant nations weak and strong alike, may stand as equals in the eyes of interna- uonal laws and mutual duty"
 One of the most important features of tho Argentine note Is recognition and en- dorsement given by the Government of that republic to the Monroe doctrine, which, for the first timn, is acknowledged and accepted as a principle of American public law by a nation of South Amer ica.

 When Lydia E.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and her other medicines are doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, physicians and thinking people.
 Merit alone could win such fame |; wise, therefore, is the woman who for a cure relies upon Lydia E. Pinkham'sVcgctable Compound.
