Third Quarter. Lesson IT. l Samuel \, 17-27. July 12, 1903.
 Saul Chosen King.

4s-Sts e0Ay @~t
 Saul Chosen King.
 It is a fascinating picture of primitive
 rural life. The son of rich Benjaite farmer. is rounding up the stock which
 has been allowed to graze at large. Toll some and vexatious work! At the sugges- ton of his servant, who also furnishes
 the gift which etiquette required, the
 young man turns aside to the town where
 the seer lived Meeting the village girls
 at the common fountain, they inquire for
 the prophet. They are bidden to hasten
 if they would see him before he begins
 the religious festivities of the day The
 seer and the searcher for lost asses meet
 and the latteN with his faithful attendant
 Is given the sent and portion of honor
 That night on the fiat roof of the house
 the most retired portion of an Oriental
 home, the patriotic and devoted prophet
 poured out his soul to the rustic hero. the p-',destined king. No doubt, he dwell upon the national perils and how to avert them. He kindled new passion-patriot' ism-in his young auditor. Then began that change, which was consummated or
 the morrow. by means of which farmer
 vas metamorphosed into king.
 The secret junction. official salute. and triple sign are given. and Samuel and paul separate. AS d IuEtHeT pIepdEdtlOH for his high calling, the untutored youth seeks a school of the prophets own fornding, and familiarizes himself with the triangle of Hebrew education. Mo saic law, inspired poesy, and sacred mu. sic. The change of character and occu- patton. so unlikely and unexpected, gives rise to the proverb "Is Saul also among the prophets"'
 On the very scene of his iInmemoria victory, Samuel assembled Israel to pub. licly and officially renounce the power which he had wielded so long and faith fully. This was the public ratification oi | what had been done in secret. The same process which marked Acham as the of | fender, and Matthias as apostle, 6esignat ed Saul as king. The element of chanc, was stricken out, and trickery forestallet by a superhuman guidance.
 The ordeal for Saul, was trying in the last degree. He could have no doubt of the outcome of the lot-casting. The responsibilities of an office so novel In
 Israel, bore down upon him like food a national decline to be stemmed, in- vason to be resisted. public morals to be reformed. No wonder the inexperienced youth hid himself in the camp baggage
 It was game of hide and seek, but the seekers were successful, a moment later, they led the king-elect into the presence of the national assembly. It was a crisis-hour in Hebrew history. Would he accept? Would the civil legislature ap- prove the choice?
 The patent ingenuousnes of spirit. the heroic physique, gigantic stature, ruddy
 countenance, piercing eye all predispose in the candida te's favor, and the ratifica- | tion Is procalimed in the proverbial greet
 ing to the king. True there was recall

Mrs. HughsOn, of Chicago,
 whose letter follows, is another woman in high position who owes her health to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Money seemed but poor and pal try compared to health, and yet a few dollars invested in Lydia E. Pinkham'S Vegetable Compound brought me good health. I suffered for several years with general weak ness and bearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appetite was frightful, and would lie awake for hours, and could not sleep, until l seemed more weary in the morning than when l retired. After reading one of its advertisements 1 decided to try the merits of Lydia E. Pink. hams Vegetable Compound, and l am so glad I did. No one can de- scribe the good it did me. l took three bottles faithfully, and besides build ing up my general health, it drove all disease and poison out of my body, and made me feel as spry and active as a young girl.

 It is the aendeavor of the Agricultural Department to find lands in the South suitable for the culture of what Is known as Havana filler tobacco and 1t IS tnousnt this kind of lands has been discovered near Marion, So far, at any rate, there is no reason to believe the department has been disappointed and If the aroma ot the plant is up to the standard the exper1- inent will make Perry County one of the richest in the State.
 |. Truck Farming at Linden.
 Today was made shipment of cante- ioupes from Linden in Marengo County. to Pittsburg. Pa. and 1t is ,o be followed by more.
 The event is regarded as an epoch-mak. CT in the history of farming in this part os the State for today's carload shipment of garden stun to the North Is the first that has been made and the quality If the truck shows that the County of Marengo and the territory immediately contiguous is not surpassed for the cultivation of melons and other vegetables of the kind.
 The shipment was made by the Truck Growers Association of Linden of which W. F. westbrook is manager.
 l, The Association was recently organised and contains well known farmers of the neighborhood. Its members have about sixty acres planted In canteloupes and carload of the melons was shipped this morning by way of the Birmingham. Selma and New Orleans Railroad. It is expected the shipment will be sold at SEQ to S3 crate.
 President F. M. Abbott of the Birming' ham Selma and New Orleans Railway on which Linden is situated is offering every fnducement to the truck-farmers along the right of way and hopes to encourage
 many others into raising garden stun.

 The rumor cannot be verified but it is regarded as rational and as extremely probable os execution.
 President F. M. Abbott of the railway company would say nothing about the matter today.
 It is almost positively known that the Western track which Is no longer of use since the new Louisville and Nashville bridge and track near Selma have been completed will not be removed and there is no reasonable supposition that would explain its remaining in statu quo unless it would be put to some use. It Is gen- orally thought. too, that the Louisville and Nashville Railway Company and the Selma Street and Suburban Railway Com pany are in touch and this is taken as a confirmation of the rumor.
 The use of the track would be of great benefit to Selma for 1t would not only open up to the city pleasant playground but would develop what would in time be- come an important and valuable suburb.

 Sayrna I,,ly 1f

Selma, July 10. Ths most interesting event of today was the trial or rather. the postponement Of xhe trial of Prof. R. B. Hudson. prtnci- pal of the colored public schools of the city. and of Emma Browning. well known negro, both of whom are charged with an affray.
 The case was set for this morning. but ! after a number of delays Mayor Atkins postponed the case until Monday morning. A largo crowd of spectators had gathered in the court room to see the trial of the case and there was general disappoiut- ment when, after wait of over an hour 1t was announced that the trial would not be begun until Monday.
 It is possible, too, that the matter will be settled without the open court and that all cases will be dismissed.
 Tn court this morning Hudson was sur- rounded by several prominent citizens. in- cluding his counsel and members of the Bnard of Trustees of the public schools and 1t was apparent that he would be backed by the educational officers of the County. The other side of the case was also well represented by counsel.
 The charge made against Hudson is se- rious but public opinion seems to be on his side.
 Ferry County Tobacco.
 Charlie Greer. editor of The Marion
 
 Standard, was in town today and gave an interesting account of the culture of tobacco near his home town. Mir. Greer says the tobacco on the governmental ex- pertinent farm has been cut and placed in q barn and will in short time be ready for a final test as to its value. He thinks the crop will prove to be of the required quality.
 The rapid growth of the crop is worthy of attention. Mir. Greer says the land on which it was planted was broken first April 10. and that the tobacco was plant ed April g. By June 90 half of the crop had been cut and now the whole planting is under cover for drying and in few days will be stripped for packing. The entire tinee therefore. required for the maturing of the crop was but little over two months.
 Mr. Greer says the success of this ini fiai crop has inspired the farmers oi Perry County with . determined wish ts

BROUGHT OUT
THE LOBBY
A RAILROAD BILL is THE
CONTENTION.
r. r. Boys Want Three Men to
a Train.

There is a little bill before the
Legislature that has brought out the
railroad lobby, as it directly affects
the big road
1t is a bill to compel the railroad
companies to place a third man on the
trains that are composed of more than
thirty cars. as the railroad boys claim
that a train Of longer dimensions Is
liable to all kinds OF accidents and is,
in a measure the cause of some of the
accidents that happen so frequently on
the Southern Pacific.
The bill to the layman, looks inno-
cent CROUCH, and when 1t was placed
on its first reading it did not seem to
warrant the attention it is now receiv-
ing.
! About the time that the bill became
generally known, the Capitol city was
paid a visit by the Sacramento Divis-
ion Superintendent. !. r. Laws, Mr..
McGrath, Superintendent of the C. &
C. r. R. and Mr.. rpstine OF the
Southern Pacific, all arrived in a
private car.
A general hearing was granted them
before the committee on railroad af-
fairs. as vas the train boys represent
alive. Mr.. Alderman.
Mr.. Laws told in concise remarks
the condition Of affairs and that he be-
lieved the matter was to Dc aroitrated
before the grie lance com nittee, TO
which railroad mar stated that the
matter was not incll1ed in the report
before the grievance committee, which
settled that question for the time be-
ing.
Among those who seem to be TAX
ing a great interest in the bill is
George Wallace Nixon. George does
net favor the bill; he says the limit is
too close. AS he cites it, should the
railroad run thirty-ore cars in a train,
the whole S. r. Office. could be pulled
for the violation OF the law and just for
one car.
The railroad boys, on the other
hand say a limit can be placed some
where along the string and it is Just as
we'll to stop at an even thirty as thirty.

railroad and the railroad employees,
