Shortly after retiring last night. John Jones. residing with his father. Mike Jones, on Mabry Street, heard a noise under his window. and within few minutes a man attempted to en- ter through the open window. MT. Jones fired at the intruder the bullet striking him In the upper part of the body or the arm. The man gave scream and fell from the window. MT. Jones rushed to the window and found the would-be burglar on the ground. He again fired, but is not certain that the second shot took ef- feet. The man by this time had man- anged to struggle to his feet and es- cape. Mir. Jones believes that the man was a negro but is not positive.
 An investigation was made this morning and blood was found under the window. Sheriff Blackwell was notified and the bloodhounds were placed on the trail of the intruder but the dogs were unable to follow the track any distance and the search was abandoned.

The silverware was hidden in the back yard by the burglars and was recov- cred by the owners the next day. The police have been unable to get on the track of the intruders, and Chief of Police Walters is now searching for 0 cfew to the intruder who was wound ed by MT. Jones last night.

To Test City Water.

Manager Worrell of the Selma Wa ter Works this morning carried a del- egation composed of the City Council. the Board of Health and newspaper men to Mullen's Lake, to get samples of the water to be sent to the S,ate ChAnist at Auburn. The State Chem ist will be requested to mako an anal ysis of the water to determine if it is fit for use as city water while repairs are being made at the water works pumping station.
 There Is much opposition among the members of the Council and the physi- clans in the city to turning this water into the city mains during the summer months. It is claimed that the lake or pond is d stagnant pool and that the watS Is full of disease germs. Man ager Worrell has come out in an in- terview in which he stated that under no consideration would he be in favor of using this water until the State Chemist and the Dallas County Health Board were convinced that the water is pure.

COIOpeI Abbott for Parker.

Colonel E. M. Abbott, President of the Selma Street Railway Company. who has always been a Republican in national politics, and with whom Pres ident Mckinley often consulted in re- gard to conditions in~the South, is very outspoken in his support of the candi- dacy of Judge Parker. Colonel Ab- bolt is a New Yorker by birth and came South shortly after the war. While he has always been Republi- can in national politics and a Demo- crat in State and local affairs, he has never taken an active part in politics on account of the crowd that has con trolled affairs in this section.
 In speaking of political conditions. Colonel Abbott said to The Advertiser today:
 T am now and have always been a Republican in national affairs but shall vote for Judge Barker this fall. and I am honest in the belief that the salvation of the Republican party is the defeat of MT. Roosevelt. No

 Selma September s. IVY M Huggins, colored mail car r;er was assaulted. yesterday after noon by two white men on Florence Street while he was engaged in de- liyering his afternoon route. He was struck on the back by one or the men with a large iron stick which inflicted a very painful bruise. The men then amused themselves by stoning the carrier.
 The people of Selma are loud in their denunciation of the assault on the mail carrier. Huggins is held in higb esteem by the white people and is very polite. and accommodating. The mat ter will no doubt be brought to the attention of the Postoffice Department and an inspector will probably be sent here to investigate the matter. Hug gins has not been appointed as g. regular carrier but is serving as substitute.

white man residing in the South. with any seIf-respect can support the Pres fdent for reelection.
 MT. Roosevelt entered the White House under the most suspicious cir cumstances and with the good will of reunited country. The people of the South very naturally felt kindly to-
 ward the man who had been called to the executive chair under such sad and
 peculiar circumstances, and when MT.
 Roosevelt stood in the residence of John H. Milburn at Buffalo and took
 the oath of office. he gained the love of
 the entire nation when he pledged him.
 self to carry out the policy of William Mckinley. But he was unable to re-
 sist the temptation of seeking a re- nomination and he at once surrounded himself with politicians and started an
 active campaign to secure the nomi-
 nation at the hands of his party. E He inaugurated a system of ref
 erees in the Southern States which was not calculated to build up Republi- can party but only to strengthen the office-holding ring. This was not
 Roosevelt the man. but Roosevelt the
 politician. seeking a renomination.
 The result of this system has been that men of character and self respect have refused to identify themselves
 with the party organization and the ofhce-holdfng ring was. as a matter of course, able to control delegations for the President and his nomination was made sure. But how much better would it have been if he had had the courage and manhood to have carried out his original policy as was display ed when he appointed Governor T. G. Jones to FeGeraf Judgeship and Judge Thomas H. Roulhac as United States Attorney. This would have made the man so strong that no power could have defeated him for a re-nom ination. and yet he would have re- tained the respect and good will of the entire people.
 Colonel Abbott keeps fin close touch with the situation in the North, and he is confident that Mir. Roosevelt's Is not confined to the South, but extends throughout the na- tion. He believes that the President will be defeated in November and that the defeat will result in a complete reorganization of the Republican party and the elimination of the office hold ing rings that have been fostered in every State by the present admins tration. Colonel Abbott. himself a capitalist, is sure that Judge Parker Is by far a safer man than MT. Roose- welt and that the business men of the country, while keeping quiet, will go to the polls in November and cast their ballot for Parker and Davis.
