SELMA GREATLY AROUSED

Selma, October 5.-(Special. )-The charge of tho light brigade at Balaklava is not a circumstance to the assault of the Sell ma Spur Brigade" made upon the block ade of cotton today at the congresses alleged to be run by the Gulf Compress company.
 "The Spur Brigade" is the familiar name by which the street hands of the city are known. being so called because of the shackle Tn the shape of spur that binds the legs of the prisoners. This brigade, some sixteen in number. were assigned by the mayor to relieve the con- gested condition of cotton at the press. Thirty cars were unloaded by them un- der the direction of the street superinten- dent, the cotton being placed in Alabama street for several blocks until the lot on which formerly stood the old Magnolia warehouse can be cleaned off.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad which had notified It's agent day before yesterday not to receive any more cot ton because the cars could not be un- loaded at the press t..s afternoon issued an order rais. the embargo and the trouble is expected to be at an end soon. Last night, by direction of the cotton exchange c. '. Hanson, presi- dent of the Gulf Compress company was wired to come to Selma and also 8 change in the management of the com press was demanded the present man agement being deelar l incompetent.
 Will Confer With Governor.
 Hon. H. S. D. Mallory, chairman of the democratic state executive committee, and also chairman of the campaign com mittee In charge of the pending campaign, will go to Montgomery tomorrow to con- fer with Governor Cunningham relative to the confusion which has arisen over the Lusk bill decision. Telegrams were sent by him yesterday to various party ten him to Montgomery, and he will be armed with practically all the facts in the case when he meets with the gov erner.
 Of course MT. Mallory does not know at this time what he will advise or what course he will take. waiting until the re- ceipt of replies to his telegram before act ing. The fact that the opponents of the democracy will make the most of the de- cision in closely contested counties is the one main point to be guarded against, and 1t is hoped to find a way out of the tangle.
 Murder Case Continued.
 Doc Adams, a negro. was arraigned in the circuit court this morning charged with murder. His case was continued. Adams shot a negro woman about April 1901, and was indicted for attempt to murder. While in custody and after the adjournment of the first court the woman died. The next grand jury made the charge murder The negro has been out on bond practically ever since then.
 The arraignment of the negro called to mind the sad tragedy in which Deputy Sheriff J. l.. Edwards was killed II was to arrest Doc Adams that the officer had gone when he was killed by John Dawson, negro. MT. Edwards had ar rested Adams and had him in the cart coming back to town when he thought oi another negro that was wanted. He stopped at John Dawson's house to ask the way and was killed
