How Mr.. Roots incumbency Will he
regarded abroad is a much more un-
certain quantity ana more interesting
to contemplate than his reception at
home. Secretary Hay had served and
was personally known and liked in
London, Paris and Madrid. 1t was
to the foreign offices in those capitals
almost like transacting business with
an old friend. Now Mr.. Root Is
strong. able patriotic man. But ne
has never been in the diplomatic ser
vice abroad and the only place abroad
where ne is personally known is in
London. 1T was there as the head or
the American commissioners on the
Alaskan boundary case that ne put
thorn into the English flesh that is
going tn ranTsle for long time.

Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, July lo.
 It was a sad and pathetic scene Tn Police Court this morning when the verdict was rendered in the case or larceny against A. Philip Stone. the young white man who was arrested last week for disposing of two pieces or meat that he took from the warehouse of Howard & Kornegay. All through the trial of the young man the aseo mother sat in the court. but as the last words of Colonel w. w. Quarles Tn the speech for the prosecution were said her head sank on her breast ana tears came into her eyes as the verdict was rendered by Acting Mayor w. k. Peacock, when he announced that ac- cording to the evidence introduced he would have to find the young man guilty.
 The hardened hearts of the spectators were touched with pity for the loving mother and more so when in answer to Q request for an appeal bond by the prosecution, Judge Craig, for the de- fense, offered objections. and stated that only through the mother could the young man make the bond. He was now out of employment. she was ms only support and now, as the stigma Of crime had been fixed on his name, 1t would be a hard matter for him to find employment.
 w nSA LHS SdoC aSoAhS osSAAS called this morning Mayor Atkins vacated the bench, saying that he might be interested in the case and asked President of the Council w. R. Peacock to preside The defense offered no testimony in the case and only three witnesses testified for the city. The first witness for the city was McD. Campbell of the firm of Howard & Kornegay. He testified that he had seen the two pieces of meat that were missing in the warehouse of the com pany several weeks ago, but that he had not missed them until after Stone was arrested.
 He told of the confession Stone had made in the office of the firm to him, when the young man had acknowledged that he had done wrong and asked for another showing. The confession that Stone had made in the office of the chief of police in the city, when there were present Mayor Atkins. Chief or Police Waltres. McD. Campbell, w. l.. Ward and some other gentlemen, was ruled out three times during the trial
 The next witness put on the stand Tor the city was a negro drayman. Bud Gibson. Gibson told how he had re- ceived a call to come to the warehouse of Howard & Kornegay and that Stone had told him to take two pieces of meat from the scales and take them to the store of L. D. Kynard on Washington Street, but he misunderstood the direc- tions and took the meat to the store of L. D. Porter. He met Stone the next morning, who asked him what he had done with the meat and when he was told. made Gibson go and get it and take it to Kynard's.
 The prosecuting for the city tried to make the case out as grand larceny, but in rendering his de. ision Acting Mayor Peacock stated 1t was not cer- tain in his mind that the meat taken was worth $5 or more. Under those conditions he could not bind the young man over to await the action of the grand jury but imposed a fine of s100 on him for the offense. The defen- dant's attorney asked for the amount to be fixed as an appeal bond. This

This morning he was charged In the Recorders Court with carrying con- cealed weapon and for being drunk, and was fired $103 and costs.
 The fact that he was guard at the convict camp gave Campbell an idea that he could go armed in violation Of the statutes but this idea was udely dispelled when the recorder gave judg~ ment.

Many are Complaining.

At recent meeting Of the city council it was ordered that three addi- tional drinking fountains should be put up in different parts of the city. These fountains were ordered and will soon be erected at the points where 1t has been decided to place them. One of the fountains has already been placed in the middle of Washington street between Alabama and Selma
 While as yet the water connection with the fountain in the middle Of Washington street has not been made a vigorous kick is being registered against the fountain. It is claimed that the fountain should not be placed in the middle of the street. as 1t will prove an obstruction, but that it should be placed close to the sidewalk. out of the way.
 Those who are kicking against the fountain in the middle of Washington street say that the old market house has just been taken out of the middle of that street and that it Is not right that this street should so soon be again obstructed. The committee which has the placing of these foun- tains has the right to move the one from the middle of Washington street and those who are making the kick hope that 1t will not let their protest go unheeded.
