The News of Selma

Bailey answered President Whatley that he could get no one to take the club but that the league could rent the park here for the sum of 8 per game. Whether the league will accept the of fer and put the Hattiesburg club in Selma Is not known yet, but Bailey thinks that the offer of the park will be accepted and that the club will be transferred to this city.
 Although the independent team that was in this city the first part of the season did not prove to be paying venture there are a number of the lovers of the national game in Selma who If they had the money would jump at the opportunity of securing a fran chise In the Cotton States League. They would not expect to make much above expenses this season, but then they would have the franchise for next sea- son. when very probably the league will be reorganized and there Is a chance that very few of the cities which now compose the organization will be in it next year.
 The Cotton States League seems to be playing in hard luck this season and President Wheatley is doing all that is in his power to keep the league going for the next two months of its schedule. The Hattiesburg team if brought to this city will no doubt draw good crowds, IS the fans of Selma are hungry for organized baseball and no doubt would support the sport Several of the players of the team are well known in this city and on the team there is an old Selma favorite who would be welcomed back by all of the fans. Eddie Glenn. Glenn played short for the Selma team in the old days when there was such rivalry between the Selma and Rome clubs and made a great many friends here, Bailey ex- poets to hear from President Wheatley shortly and thinks that within a few days the Hattiesburg team will be play ing in Selma.

Advertiser Bureau,


 The condition of Edgar Wallace, the young man woh was shot last night In front of M. J. Meyers livery stable on Alabama Street. by Tom O'Flinn. was somewhat better today, and the appre- tension felt last night that the wound would prove fatal seems to be all over with and now there is little doubt that he will soon recover. After the shoot ing MT. Wallace was taken to the Selma Infirmary, where an operation was per- formed to see if the shot had severed any of the small intestines in the pit of the stomach, but the operation showed that none of these intestines had been severed and his condition is not now considered dangerous.
 The difficulty between the two young men seems to have grown out Of trivial affair. O'Flinn runs a number of hacks on the streets. Wallace also runs a hack O'Flinn is said to have . 4s.Te to Meyers stable last night and ,,ns,cused Wallace of having one of his ackmen arrested because he had not JaDaid his license. The conversation be- sxsstween the two grew warm and O'Flinn Al called Wallace q liar. Wallace hit N O'F'linn and a fight between the two was started, when bystanders separated them. OFlinn then pulled his pistol and before anyone could interfere shot Wallace.
 After the shooting OFlinn went up Alabama Street looking for an officer but as he could not find one he went home and later surrendered to Officer Blanton who carried him to the county jail to await the result of Wallace's wounds. The case against O'Flinn was called in Police Court this morning and as it is understood that 1t will not be necessary for Wallace to be present at the trial the case was set for a hearing tomorrow morning. The diff ficulty between the two young men which resulted in the shooting is great ly deplored by the friends of both Both are married men and stand well in the estimation of the citizens of this place.

IN hand by men of courageous de-

despite threats of bounding and per-
sonai reprisals, there is light coming

5 1t seems noteworthy that in the
epoch marked by President Roose-

have been found in high places men
brave enough to hit back. with dog

the instances first mentioned there is
opportunity for Chairman Paul Nor

ETHICS OF THE ELEVATOR.

Hundreds OF people break into eleva-
tors who don't know the rules of the
lift. says the Philadelphia Bulletin.
To enlighten these and to make life
easier for those who ride with them.
these suggestions are offered in the
hope that delinquents will cut them
out. learn then by heart and practice
them diligently:
Step all the way back.
Face the door.
Don't wear q HurderouS quill in your
hat.
Sing out when You get to your floor.
so the boy won't have to reverse the
machine for you.
Take off your hat in honor of an
ancient lady. for a pretty girl is sure
TO step in next, and then how chival-
rous you Will feel
If you want to be regarded as a man
of mind, keep your hat on when all the
other men in the lift have theirs Off
Don't block the doorway. Other peo-
pie want to get out.
Don't be so occupied with looking in
the mirror that you forget what floor
you want to get off at.
Don't tell about JohnnieS measles
and Susies beaux- An elevator is as
public as trolley car, only more so.
Don't gouge, don't push, don't scowl
and say mean things If you object TO
being showed up against you ought TO
take the stairway.
Wait your turn to get in ard wait
have like a gentleman or a lady to-
ward the elevator and you will find Ii q
Pretty COED method Of transportation.

lines of preference and individual
training, One of these partners is
known to his friends as the "Glad
Hand from his geniality of manner
and general joyousness; the other is
designated rs the Leader of the
Anvil Chores" from his propensity for
swinging the sledge. Truly, they are
well balanced
For some time past when one had
occasion to leave the common labor
the other would gladly assume the
double burden. and as turn about fol-
lowed turn about the score was fairly
even between them without any effort
to make 1t so. But recently both of
the partners have been overcome at
the same time and cheerful and WILL
ing friends have had to step in to
supply their absence from the post of
duty.
The Glad Hand in his youthful
enthusiasm has been cultiyating flow
Ell beds and garden patches in the
country. He has told his friends all
about his early ris,ngs and his siren
IoGs horticulture, and behold he is
like unto Job from poison-ivy.

He who was the hero Of many a ban
quet and private feast, the trenchman
sans peur ct sans reproche, has sue
cumbed to the insidious crab-salad as
readily as the horticultural enthus-
last went down before poison-ivy.
There is no moral to this unless it
be that II your partner is a country
man you can never tell when the
snakes will bite him or the poison
ivy render his absence desirable; and
that If he be trenchman he will be
vanquished sooner or later though he
be the conqueror of ten thousand din
ners. Team work is excellent in en-
deavor, but it is to be Stunned in

No One IS Punished.

1t is now few days beyond year
since 1881 persons, most of them be-
Ing women and children, lost their
lives by the burning of the excur-
sion steamboat General Slocum in the
East river. New York. No one has
been punished for the outrageous lack
OF proper life-sSving appliances that
caused the awful death list. To be
sure, Henry Lundberg, the assistant
ioV2l inspector who passed the Slo-
GUMS outfit as adequate, has been
placed on trial three times. but each
time Federal jury has disagreed
And now United States District At
torney Burnett, who has been at.
the head Of the prosecution, an
nounces that he will not move for an
other trial. So, although seven men
have been indicted for criminal negli-
gence in the matter, no one has been
punished, and probably no one will be.
The Slocum horror passes into his
tory as unavenged. Not even have
damages of any sort been collected
by the survivors Of that CHASTITY trip.
The only satisfaction that the people
nave been able to extract is from the
fact that the New York inspection
system has been turned upside down
and that more stringent steamboat
laws have been passed A more
effective service will be given for a
few years, perhaps, and then the old
slipshod ways will return until some
other disaster. That is the average
course Of human events.

Or changing brass if lacking the divine
Graces of Love thai in true hearts
abound
Tho I to feed the hungry should be-

glow
With Love, or prohtless it all would
prove.
Love vaunteth not. is seemly. kind and
meek,
Rejoiceth only in the true and pure.
No envy feels, her own she doth not
seek.
Believeth all things, and can all en-

But surely Love is greatest of the

Gladstone was never weary of pro-
test against the fallacy of what was
called preparing new communities
for freedom, teaching Il colony, like an
infant, by slow degrees of walk, first
putting it into long clothes, then into
short clothes. Our modern colonists,
he said, after quitting their mother
country, instead of keeping their liber-
ties 80 out to Australia or New Yea
land to be deprived of these liberties
and then, perhaps, after fifteen or
twenty years waiting, hae a portion
given back to them with magnificent
language about the liberality of par
lament in conceding free institutions.
During the whole of that interval they
are condemned to hear all the miser-
able iargon about fitting them for the
privileges thus conferred, while in
point of fact every year and every
month during which they are retained
under the administration of despotic
government renders them less lit for
free institutions. - Morley's Life OF
