aearctty of Labor.

The completion of the many busi- ness houses and residences which are now under way of construction in Sel- ma are being much retarded on ac- cont of the scarcity of carpenters and other labor to complete the work A contractor mas just returned from Birmingham and Chattanooga, where he went in search of carpen- ters but reports that 1t Is impossible to secure help as all the carpenters have more work than they can do.
 The contractor at the city hall is still working on with a reduced force on account of the strike Monday morn ing. The carpenters who walked out at the city hall had no trouble in find ing immediate employment. Other carpenters now engaged in rushing the city hall to completion are much dis satisfied and 1t Is rumored that a gen. eral strike may be agreed upon bv all the men employed by Contractor Manly. The carpenters refused to confirm this rumor though the rtory is generally credited in labor circles.

WILL NOT NEGOTIATE OPERATORS SAY THERE WILL BE
 NO CONFERENCE. Claim of the Strikers and Companies Far Apart as to the Number of
 Miners Now At
 Work.

Birmingham. Aug 17-(special.)- Neither side of the labor controversy gave out anything of particular inter- est with reference to tho miners strike today, but 1t is understood that the furnace operators Lave prepared an an- nouncement which will be run as an advertisement in the daily papers to- morrow.
 This announcement, 1t Is stated, will be to the effect that TO negotiations have begun with the miners looking to a settlement of the trouble and that no such negotiations will begin. This is to offset the report alleged to have been put out by the miners union to the effect that another conference might be held and the trouble adjus- ted.
 It Is claimed by the furnace opera tors that they have from 800 to 900 men at work on the "open shop" mines. but on the other hand the oficials of the miners union declare that the num- Der does noe exceed 200. The Sloss- Sheffield company momentarily ex- pecting fifty men to arrive in the city to be carried to the mines. but no statement is made as to where they will come from. The Woodward ore mines, near Bessener. started up this morning with full force of hands.

RUMOR OF RACE WAR

Advertiser Bureau. Selma August IT.
 A rumor has gained circulation here tonight that a race riot occurred at rhornastSn this afternoon resulting from the lynching of the negro Rufus Lessure. who entered the bedroom of Mrs. ,. P. Hollis Sunday night and was later captured and confessed.
 The rumor has 1t that !. P. Hollis. IT,, son of Mrs. Hollis. and two other white men, were killed by negroes, ana a pitched battle followed with un- known results.
 The rumor has been investigated by The Advertiser correspondent who is unable to verify the report and Is forced to discredit the story which is said however. to come from a trust worthy source. The rumor perhaps originated from the fact that a number of citizens were here from Marengo County yesterday and today and pur- chased Winchester rifles and other fire arms in anticipation of trouble with the negroes resulting from the lynch ing of Lessure.
 These citixens made 1t known in peima that the negroes were armed the whites on account of the lynching of Lessure. The manager of the West. ern Union Telegraph Company was in communication with the Thomaston Operator at five o'clock this afternoon and heard nothing of the reported race riot. The telegraph office closed there at seven o'clock and as there is no tel ephone competitions with the town 1t is absolutely impossible to verify the ru- nor tonight.
 
 According to passengers who came in from Thomaston this morning, sher- in A. L.. Nasty. of Marengo county, is making every effort possible to deter mine who participated in the lynching at Thomaston early yesterday morn ing. Sheriff Nasty Is quoted as say

 The horse has been recovered. It wandered into the Commercial corral on Saturday morning and hId the ap- Dearance of having been turned loose just outside the corral Van Lint was not seen by anybody in that vicinity, but it is thought that some boy brought the horse into the neighbor- hood MT. Monihon is offering S1O for information leading to the manner in which the horse was brought to the corral, the information also to incldde the name of the man who sent the an imal there.
 The case is a peculiar one; if Van Lint took the horse he did not evidently intend 10 profit greatly by the theft The saddle was found in the road east of town; 1t had not been cached there but left in plain view to be found by the first conner

THE COLLINS WILL CONTEST
The Sons Filed Objections in Prbate
 Court Yesterday.

Business poured into the probate court yesterday with a rush. The con test of the will of GeorgSC. Collins was begun by the filing of an objection by L. w. Collins, Rolla Collins and Will Collins. sons Of the testaor. Objection is partic ulaTly made to that feature of of the will which devises one-half of the residue of the estate to F. J. Ben nit in trust for Phoenix Commandery Knights Templar.
 The objection is based upon three grounds. The first is that undue influ- cnce was used; the second. that the will was not witnessed by two disinterested and credible witnesses, since enc of them was Thomas Armstrong. Jr.. a member of the Knights. Templar. and therefore, an interested party. It is ai- so alleged tha- the will is contrary to law and void.
