The condition of J. k. Allen, the young man who was shot yesterday morning at Thomaston by the negro Booker Glass. was much better tnis morning and it is now conceded that ne will soon recover. After Allen had been brought 10 the city and placed in an infirmary his wound was probed 10 find the bullet and 1t was found that the ball, after entering the flesh, struck a rib and glanced off to the stomach but 1t is thought that none of the ln- testines were cut.
 There are conflicting reports here to- day as to the condition of the negro Booker Glass who shot Allen. and notn- ing definite can be learned from Thorn aston. It is said that the negro, with two wounds in his stomach which ne received in the difficulty with MT. AL len, made his escape after he had shot the young man with the pistol that he had taken away from him and has not yet been captured. It is stated that he met several negroes and from them secured something to eat and to these he said that he had two wounds in his stomach. but that they did not amount to much,

Golson of Burnsville, yesterday asked for a hearing before Referee in Bankruptcy Campbell so that he could get some information as to the assets of the bankrupt. The hear ing was set by Referee Campbell for yesterday afternon, but on account of the absence of one of MT. Golson's at- torneys. the hearing was postponed un- til 12 o'clock today.

Arresfed for Murder.


 The police authorities this morning arrested negro by the name of Will Irwin on the charge of murder. wheth- CT the negro Is the right one Is not yet known. About a year ago a me- gro by the name of Sonnie Green got into difficulty with a negro by the name of Will Irwin in East Selma and was shot and killed by Irwin Imme- diately after the shooting Irwin es- caped. i At the time of the shooting there were three negro men living here by. the name of Will Irwin and all three of them disappeared soon after Son. nie Green had been killed. Since then the police have been on the lookout for the murderer but no arrests have ever been made until the negro was caught this morning. It Is thought by the police that the negro arrested is not the one wanted for the killing of Sonnie Green, but they will hold him until the mother of the murdered ne- gro comes to police headquarters to see him, she knowing the one who kill her son.

The News of Selma

tions of a negro who had asked him for lodging last night. The woman who had lost the wagon and mules lives close to him and this morning when he heard that her wagon and mules had been stolen he recognized the team that the strange negro had driven up to his home last night.
 He said that the strange negro with the wagon drove up to his house and asked for lodging. This he refused to give him. when the negro asked per- mission to unhitch and feed his team while he went to a nearby store to get something to eat for himself. Af- ter being away for about an hour the man returned and asked If he could leave the wagon where 1t was for a day or so He then got on one of the mules and. leading the other one, he rode away.
 The last seen of the thief he was rid- ing in the direction of Perry County. A description of the negro who stole the team was given to the police au- thorities and the sheriff and an effort will be made to locate and arrest the mule thief The sheriff of Perry Coun- ty will also be. furnished with a de- scription of the negro. as the last seen of him he was making for that county.

The latest suggestion in regard to the
Chinese row is that the American
merchants and importers should boy
aott China II China insists on boycott
ting the United States This is a sug-
xestion that has been based on. the
showing Of the Department Of Com
merce and Labor TO the effect that
while we sell about twice as much to
China MS China buys OF us, the orien-
tai imports are not a thing for which
the United States Is at all dependent
on China and they could be Just as
well gotten from Japan. The exports
Of the United States to China amount-
cd In the past year to about 100000
500, while our imports were but $780,
100000. Sul that trade could be cut
on from China entirely II the mer-
chants in the United States SO decided
and China would feel the loss keenly.
The Chinese imports to this country
consist principally Of tea, raw silk
and hides. Now tea is equally ayaila-
Bile from India and ceyIon while the
other articles Of strictly oriental sort
can be had from Japan. II China
wants 10 play boycottinp q "a sup.

good position to take hand in the

1t is unquestionable that this coun.
4 Try has not dealt with China on the
same basis as It would in dealing with
any frst class power, and there is a
great deal OF bitterness over the way
that The Chinese exclusion law has
. been worked on the Pacific coast. It
is said now that China has stiffened
her neck in the face Of continued ig.
nominy OF this sort, and that when
Congress is called upon to deal with
the expiring Chinese treaty it will dis.
cover that while China would have
been perfectly willing to negotiate a
satisfactory treaty with US year ago.
that she has been egged on by some of
