 Selma, July 5,

The purchase of a tract of land by Fisk and Company. of Montgomery. Is still the chief topic of conversation among cotton men in Selma, but 1t IS not clearly indicated that a new com press will be built.
 Fisk and Company own a press in Montgomery but lease 1t to the At lantic Compress Company and the Gulf Compress Company which lease and operate cotton congresses all over the South. It Is believed that the Atlantic and Gulf companies do not wish to construct or to own a press in this city though Fisk and Company may build one.
 lantic and Gulf companies has con- ferred with the Dallas Compress Com pany of this city. no proposition has been made. A director of the Dallas Compress Company said today that a proposition might be made but of what character it would be. and whether 1t would be accepted by the Selma company could not now be even guessed at.
 The Dallas Compress Company has a daily capacity of 2.000 bales and Is thought to be able to take care of all the cotton that comes to this city. Should another press be constructed here the competition would be noth- ing short of fierce

 A new phase has now been sprung. This is the talk of getting out an in Junction to stop the use of the city funds to pay the expenses of extra legal services. While such a step has not been done. the matter has been discussed, and as a last resort will be taken to stop the intended payment.

dition of the liver. The famous
little pills known as DeWitt's Little
Early Risers not only cleanse the
system but they strengthen the
action of the liver and rebuild the
tissues supporting that organ.
Little Early Risers are easy to act,
they never grippe and yet they are
absolutely certain to produce re-
suits that are satisfactory In all
cases. Sold by

The Fatal Accident at the ArsOnaut.

The fatal accident at the Argonaut
last week. causing the instant death of
three men by premature explosion,
has naturally created some nervous
ness among some of the employees in
sinking operations. The depression
resulting from such disaster will re-
quire some time to remove. 1t is now
pretty well settled that the accident
was not due to any defect in the fuse.
The miners who are daily using the
same fuse, and prefer it to all other
brands on the market, do not accept
the theory of defective fuse. An ex-
animation of the shaft bottom after the
debris of the fatal explosions was
cleared away. revealed a condition of
affairs that throws some light on the
matter. All the holes on that side of
the shaft where M. Quinn and w.
Jewell were working were exploded.
On the other side, where w. J. CurnOw
and A. Scatena had worked, only one
hole exploded. That was the hole
which they had had difficulty in load
ing, and which they had to resort to
the blow-pipe to clean out. By this
explosion small portion of that side
had been blown out, and it is supposed
that the holes had mostly, if not all,
been primed and lighted, but that the
fuses of the unexploded holes had
been blown out by the premature blast.
The generally accepted explanation of
the accident is either that this fuse
had been accidentally lighted, or that
in cleaning the hole the powder had
been scattered around the mouth of
the hole, and the hole had afterwards
been insufficiently tamped or closed;
that the lighted fuse communicated to
the dry powder, which formed a train
to the cartridge, and thereby exploded
the hole almost as soon as it was lighted. i.
The fuse has been found so uniform and
reliable by experimentation before and
since the late catastrophe that it is re-
garded as improbable that fuse eight
feet long should be so utterly lacking
in the ordinary characteristics of a
primer as to cause the explosion.

withstanding that the board meets for

Are You Registered.

An examination of the new great
register shows that there we're S06
names thereon the commencement of
this week. There are, perhaps, as
many more who have made affidavit,
and who are practically registered,
although their names have not as yet
been entered in the book. This would
give about 1900 voters registered. AS
over 2S00 votes were cast at the cleo
tion of 1902, and over 5000 voters en-
rolled, the startling conclusion is reach
ed that nearly one half of the citizens
entitled to vote have so far failed to
register. Registration will close Sop
tenn Der %, less than one month more.
We want to impress upon repu biicans
the urgency of attending to this duty
at once. There is a deputy clerk in
each town. who is authorized to reg
lister voters. For the information of
all concerned we will give the names of
the registration clerks in the various
localities: lone, ]. Surface; Lancha
Plana, G. F. Kiser; Forest Home, r..
F. Allen; Drytown, Geo. Jennings;
Plymouth, F. H. Thoms; Oleta, Jos.
Pigeon; Pine Grove, w B. Pitts; Vol
cano, P. Jonas; Sutter Greek, ]. Lith-
gov; Amador City, F. Phipps; Jack
son, at the clerks Office. Any person
whose name appears on the old great
register can get on the new register by
simply making affidavit before either
one of these deputies, or at the clerk s
office.

NOTES FOR THE "FANs. ,

Dasso and Reddick were the battery
for the San Andreas team Sunday;
Cavagnaro and Arditto for the Ell Reys.
lone VS.. Plymouth on the latter
grounds played an interesting game
Sunday.
O'Connell of San Andreas made a
pretty one-hand catch and got his man.
Santirfo caught a pretty foul fly.
"Sockey" is too short in the reach
to hit an out curve.
Bring your kodaks and get picture
of Cavagnaro on the run if you want
something attractive.
Grillo sent three bagger into right
field and landed three men safe on home
plate.
Pete Cassinelli enjoyed the game.
He is baseball enthusiast when his
side is ahead.
Cassella, the catcher, Tam. the field
er, and Giannini, the short-stop, were
interested speota tors.
CaVagnaro made the only home run.
1t was the most graceful run of his life.
Merkel clung to the only center field
fly like "nigger" to grim death.
Question-Is player who strikes at
and is struck by the first ball that
passes after going to the bat out?
81 Nargi, who umpired Sunday IS
game, evened things up for both sides
and gave entire satisfaction.
Some of those pretty suits got pretty
we'll busted by sliding in on bases.
Grillo played 1st base for the Ell Reys
13 to 6 is somewhat discouraging,
but the San Aqdreas boys were game
to the last.
Davis brothers were the battery for
the Plymouth boys in Sundays game
at Plymouth. They did splendid work
