In Police Cnurt .

The most of the cases called in Police Court this morning were against white citizens who had violated some act in the city code and for which they ap- peared before the Mayor. The first cases called were those against four white men and four negroes. They all were arraigned for leaving their teams on the street without hitching them. No fines were assessed against any of the offenders, but Mayor Atkins took occasion to deliver to all of them lecture on the subject of hitching their teams when they left them on the streets.

SHELDON IN TROUBLE
YOUNG MAN LEAVES SELMA WITH
 BOOKS IN BAD SHAPE.
Peacock Iron Works Discovers That for Some Time Six Negroes Had Been Paid Weekly for Labor
 Never Performed.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, May 13.
 He went the pace that kills or lived way beyond his salary and as a con- sequence has skipped the city with several hundred dollars that did not belong to him. Such is the alleged cause for the mysterious disappearance from Selma of Dave sheldon. one of Selma's best known young men. Shell don left Selma last Monday morning on the excursion train for Mobile and sslce then he has not been heard from although 1t Is thought that he has gone to Texas.
 For a number of months past Dave Sheldon has held the position of time keeper at the Peacock Iron Works and every Saturday paid off the employees of that concern. The pay roll of the concern is @ large one and Sheldon handled a large sum of money each week, and though his alleged defalca- ton is of a small amount 1t covers period of many months.
 Last Saturday Harry Peacock made up the pay roll of the company and paid off the employees that evening and discovered that he had on the pay roll six negro laborers whom he could not find. This aroused his suspicion and after an examination he discovered that these laborers whom he could not ind
 
 according to the books that Sheldon used.
 During the past week the books that were in Sheldon's charge have been ex- amined as far back as March and every week the sum of $S6 has been taken by Sheldon and accounted for by the use of names on the pay roll as labor CTS. If there is an other shortage 1t has not been discovered. The Messrs. Peacock had implicit faith in Sheldon's honesty and no act of his ever aroused a suspicion that he was otherwise than honest until the accidental discovery of the false names on the pay roll last Saturday.
 Sheldon came to Selma a number Of years ago and by his gentlemanly con duct during his residence here made many friends. When he first came to Selma he secured employment in the hardware store of B. J. Schuster and afterwards went to Carothers & Rodgers. About a year ago he left Selma and went to Montgomery and went on the road for a hardware con cern of that city, but returned in about six months and took the position of time keeper at the Peacock Iron Works. It is said that of late \Sheldon has been living a fast life. He has lived beyond the salary that he was receiv- ing. This could not last and to keep 1t up he had to appropriate money that did not belong to him. Besides the Messrs. Peacock. who have suffered by Sheldon's mode of living, there are a number of Selmians from whom of late he has borrowed money which he did not repay before he left.

EX-STATE SENATOR GOES ON REC ORD - ENDORSES THE
 NOTED EXPERT.

State Senator A. r. Pugh of Mans field, La, in conversation with a re- porter says: AS you know, one of my eyes is entirely gone, and the other was fast following it. The vision of my single eye became misty and the leaders of the eyo appeared to be un~ der a constant strain or tension. I had peculiar drawing sensation about the eye and was rendered very miserable. This one eye that I have left is very precious to me. as the other one is hopelessly gone, and it is the only one l have to depend on the rest of my life. I therefore doubly appreciate the skill of Dr. A. A. Odom and his method and prescription glasses. I feel that am going to have as good vision in this eye as I had with both of them before the sight of one was affected.
 These glasses are absolutely the best I ever had. The headaches are gone and so are the neuralgia pans in the eye and head.

STRONG TESTIMONY.
A Tuscaloosa Woman, An Intense Suf- ferer for Years, Tells How Dr. OdOm's Method Gave Her
 Relief,

Mrs w. s. Champion, the wife of w. s. Champion, a prominent planter or Tuscaloosa County, recently related the interesting story of how, after sufrer- ing for many years from eXcruclatlnS headaches due to defective eyesight, she was relieved from pain by pr. Odom's method and prescription glasses. Every since I was child. in fact, almost from the time l can first remember, l have been the victim Of intense and prolonged headache, the attacks came at frequent and Irregular intervals, and followed in continuous effort made by me in the use of my eyes. The pain was frequently almost unbearable. My eyes burned, the tenn pies throbbed painfully, sharp Eeural- gio pains pierced my brow. When ever I went for advice l was told that my case was one in which relief could not be had by using eyeglasses. The oculist and physicians prescribed tonics. I followed their advice faith fully, but though I swallowed bottle after bottle of the stuff, l could get no relief. My condition grew steadily worse. until at length I feared that not only increasing headaches, but even permanent blindness was my por- tion. My deliverance came at last. however, and in most unexpected way. I heard of Dr. A A Odom and of the great relief he had given hundreds of persons throughout the country. l went to him and consulted him. He examined my eyesight, and with his method and prescription glasses he gave instant and lasting relief. have not had a headache since l began to wear the glasses. I regard him IS my deliverer from those terrible head aches.
 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I want to state that my wife has been sufferer from sick headaches and eye strains for several years. Every time we went any where on a train or boat, or drove, she would have an awful sick headache. her eyes would pain dread fully. We have tried glasses and treatments without any relief. But now with Dr. Odom's method of pre- scription glasses she sees perfectly, and has no headache whatever.

 s. S. SMITHDALE: Ever since last winter I have been ailing, with head aches and general irritation of the nerves of my eyes and head. In fact, have had it so bad I was obliged to quit my business last winter. and have been unable to work at 1t since until having, about two weeks ago had my eyes examined and tested by Dr. Odom for which he made his prescription glasses, which are now doing me a world of good. And now am happy to State that the dizziness and headaches have subsided and now l feel that life is worth living since my vision has been made perfect.
