AN ANNouNcnMENr.


 In The Selma Times of yesterday are some statements in reference to the political views of Mir. Rae. the superin- tendent of The Advertisers Selma bureau. Mir. Rae came to The Advcr- tiser once in this city last night and brought those statements to our atten- tion. He absolutely denied that he was correctly quoted by The Times, and declared that he entertained no such views. Of course. every one in Selma knows that The Advertiser has no sort of tolerance for the views said to have been expressed by MT. Rae.
 Mir. Rae said that unfortunately for him, however, there was no one present at the reported talk to corrobor- ate his denial. Mir. Rae has made a most sfioient and satisfactory superintendent of circulation in Selma. and 1t is much regretted that this trouble has arisen. It Is plain. how ever. that inasmuch as he is . compar- ative stranger in Selma. he would never be able to remove the impression made by The Times. and that his efficiency is impaired. He will. therefore. be re- lieved as soon as another man can be sent there and broken into his duties.

WILL AID YOUNG MEN
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION BEGINS
 WEEK OF PRAYER.
Religious Movement ln Montgomery VIII Culminate Next Sunday In . Great Mass Meeting at BSJou
 Theatre.

Thoroughly aroused by the fervent address of Rev. Frank Seay on "A Royal Invitation to Prayer" yesterday afternoon, the Montgomery Young Mems Christian Association resolved to enlist before the middle of the week as many as fifty young men to work up interest in the mass meeting which will be held next Sunday afternoon at the Bijou Theatre.
 Already twenty volunteers have been secured to solicit audience at the mass meeting.
 General Secretary l.. D. Dix, of the Montgomery association, presented the plan of the Religious Meetings Com mittee for this week. The fifty vol unteers are pledged to see in person ten other young men In Montgomery whom they will persuade to go to the mass meeting. All members of the association who were present promised to eonsecrate their prayers to the suc- cess of the meeting.
 If fifty volunteers insure the attend ance of ten others each there will be 3 guaranteed assemblage of 500 young men besides the aid which will be fur nished by the Ministers Union.
 There win be some extraordinary ef- fort made to enlist more than fifty volunteers in this practical work of organizing A mass meottHBs II WhS especially desired. however, that half A hundred set to work in hard. earnest endeavor to get a representative au- dlsnce at the meeting.
 Rev. A C. Harte, general secretary of the Mobile Y. M. c. A., will make the address to the mass meeting. MT. Harte has been heard in Montgomery before. He has impressed many large audiences by his eloquence and manifest interest in the work being conducted by the Young Mems Chris tian Associations over the United States.
 In the morning services next Sunday all preachers in Montgomery will de- vote sermons to the welfare of the Y. NJ, c. A of this city. They will try to draw the eyes of the whole religious community to the importance of saw ing the young manhood of Montgom- cry. This effort of the preachers was decided upon by a resolution which they passed about a month ago.
 Next Sunday night there will be un- ion services of all denominations ID the city at the Court Street Methodist Church.
 Perhaps there has never been as much interest in the young men of Montgomery as is shown in these com bined movements.
 An interested congregation of young men heard Mir. Seay speak yesterday, afternoon, and his remarks made 4 deep impression.

Light on Texas History.

Austin, Tex, Oct. 9.-Judge c.

returned from a visit to the City of
Mexico, Saltillo and Monterey.
He took great pleasure he says in
visiting the National museum and
public Libraries. In the National
library there are $4,000 volumes
and many ancient and rare doCum-
ents. He made some Investigations
of matters relating to early Texas
history. He found among other
things that the records show that
the Mier prisoners were shot at 8
p. M. March IS, 1843, while
the accepted date III Texas history
is March "a, one day earlier. The
library has p, 900 volumes.
There are many interesting docu-
ments relating to Texas history in
the archives of the State of Coahui-
Ia at Saltillo. The pubic library
IF Monterrey contains $4,000
volumes. These books have been
carefully selected, Judge Raines
,ays, and they are carefully kept.

1t IS quite remarkable that The
silly superstition which had it.
origin among the play actors with
regard to the number Is should
find recognition among the sup
pOsedly intelligent swells who par
ticipated in the Long Island auto
mobile races. There were eighteen
starters in the race, from which, il
is said, number Is was omitted by
design, the presumption being that
It was because of the superstition
as to some sort OF fatality associat-
ed with that mystic number.
Why should the number Is be
more unlucky than any other COM
bination of figures? Has any one
ever set about the trouble of find
ing out? Has there ever been any
valid excuse for placing thirteen
under the ban or any reason for
singing out this particular COM
bination of figures as one to be
avoided?
There are intelligent, educated
people who will not sit at a table
where there are just thirteen peo-
pie because they think it bad luck.
Some will not sleep in a room or III
a section of sleeping car that is
numbered Is for fear that some
dreadful consequence would fol-
low. Can anyone offer any possible
explanation of this silly supersti'
ton? 1t IS easy to understand the
prejudice of the ignorant and sup
erstitious as to the day of the week
which has so long been known as
hangman 5 day because It used to
be that nearly all criminals upon
whom the death sentence was inn
posed were hanged OH a Friday. 1t
was probably for this reason that
Friday came to be regarded as an
unlucky day, and so it was for the
evil doors who felt the strong arm
of the law.
But, judging from the records,
IS Friday an unlucky day? Statis
tics have been collected and pub
lished which prove that fewer
casualties or disasters occur on
Friday than on any other day of
the week and that the greatest
number occur on Sunday. Most of
the sanguinary battles of recent
wars have been fought on Sundays
than on Fridays and the same is
true as to railway accidents result
ing in loss of life. This is the con
clusion from the carefully prepared
statistics. The same authority
shows that a great many lmpor-
tant enterprises that proved lucky
that IS to say, suCcessful-were
initiated on Friday, while many
others that failed were started on
some other day Of the week.
As yet there have been no sta
tistics complied and given to the
public with regard to the lucky or
unlucky number IS. If there were
il might be shown that this par
ticular number has been as much
a favorite with the policy players
as the much vaunted washerwo-
man 5 gig-4-11-44 It might be
shown that any enterprise of
chance, as rattle OF lottery It IS the
number TO conjure with and that TO
be number IS IL any assembly, TO
be born on the 18th of the month
or to have SIS in ones purse is to
be lucky beyond the average NOR
