contest between architects.
 Writing of his plans Mir. Warren who formerly resided in Montgomery says:
 There has been a great deal of dis cussion in regard to the two and three story structures for the Capitol exten- sion; but no one seems to realize that the old building is virtually a two- story structure on the inside. The Senate and the House taking up the height of the top two stories.
 Architectural proportion is as im- portant on the inside as out. The skilled designer of the old building understood that large rooms must have more height than small ones, and made the rooms for the Senate and House of Representatives two stories high accordingly. Not only is this extra height necessary for the dignity and beauty of the rooms but 1t Is essential for thorough ventilation in Southern climate.

citizen and was quiet and law abiding and had never been known to have been in any trouble before. The case was then submitted to Mayor Atkins, who rendered his decision.
 Mayor Atkins stated that he thought Logan should be bound over to the grand jury so that the charge against him should be investigated by that body. He said that he did not think that it would be right for him to turn Logan loose, for if he did the grand jury might take up the charge against him and find an indictment, and for that reason. whether he thought him Innocent or guilty, he bound him over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of $500. The bond was quickly made by Logan, Messrs. O. M. Cawthon. '. l.. Clay and w. K. Walker going his security.

 The preliminary trial of Policeman Charles H. Logan, who was charged with the murder of the negro Will Chum, alias Will White and Will Sher- man. was heard in Police Court this morning. The trial resulted in the binding of Logan over to await the ac- tion of the grand jury in the sum of $500. The bond was quickly made by the officer and he again went to work as q member of the force.
 When the case was calle dthis morn ing large number of witnesses had been summoned, the majority of them being character witnesses for the de- fense. \. A. Hungerford was the first witness put on the stand by the city. He told that he was in his back yard near the place where the shooting oc- cured and that when he heard the two shots fired he had run around the house and saw Logan with the pistol in his hands and the negro lying on the side walk. He said that Logan had told

SeImn Is Jubilnnf.

The talk of the building of the At lanta and Alabama Air Line, which was revived during the past week, the erection of an immense cement plant and the prospect of this city getting a branch line to connect with the main line of the proposed Memphis and Pen sacola Railroad. Is causing Selmians to feel jubilant Either one of these three things would be a great impetus to the growth of this city and the progress sive citizens of Selma are willing to do much to get either of the railroads built or to have a cement plant erected close to Selma
 The frequent mentioning In newspa- pers during the past six months of q corps of engineers near Birmingham, who were said to be working in the direction of this city. has caused much speculation. The party of engineers who for some months past have occu- pied a room in the court house here, where they have been busify engaged working. has also caused considerable comment.

exhibits of individuals and firms the State has appropriated the sum of $2,- 900 to display the resources of Ala bama. The States display will be large and fine one and will be prac- tically the same exhibit that Alabama had at Buffalo, with many materil additions that have been collected since then. and which will show very ad- vantageously.
 Agricultural and mineral exhibits will not compose the whole fair. There will be large number of first class shows for the week that will help the visitors to amuse themselves and to get separated from their small change. There will also be a number of free attractions that will be worth coming to see. The Selma fair this year is a part of the Southern Fair Circuit. This means that the best shows that will play on the circuit this fall will also come to Selma.
 With the shows of the circuit there will also cCme q large number of race horses. Many of these horses are of the finest breed and every afternoon there will be several running and har- ness races which will add greatly to the attractiveness of the fair. The purses for these races will be hand some ones and those who love to see the ponies go will see some fine sport during the week.
 The present grandstand at the race track will be completely overhauled and made comfortable. There will also shortly be erected an exhibition hall, additional stables and stock pens and ample accommodations for everything and everybody will be looked after by the association. Work upon the ex- tension of the Selma Street and Subur- ban Railway to the track will also soon be commenced. The necessary rails and other material for extending the track to the fair grounds have been ordered, and as soon as 1t arrives the work will be started and ample transportation fa- cilities will be afforded for all who will attend the Selma fair during the week of October 17-2i.

SeIma's Big Fair.

The contract Tor all or the necessary buildings for the Central Alabama Fair which will be held in this city in Octo- Der, has been let Within few days the actual construction of these build ings will be commenced and the Selma Driving Park, in North Selma, will present a busy appearance.
 It is the intention of the Central Ala . bama Fair Association to make the fair a grand success and to this end every thing that can possibly be done will be accomplished, It is proposed to make the week one of the greatest in tho history or Selma and fl Is expected that many thousand visitors will come to this city to attend.
 The fair will be mainly for the pur- pose of displaying the agricultural re- sources of this section of the State and the fine stock that Is being raised in Central Alabama. but it will not altogether be devoted to agriculture. for the mineral resources of the State will also be displayed and many specl- mems of minerals will be on exhibition. The premium list that is being gotten out by the Fair Association and which contains many premiums well worth striving for will cause the farmers of Middle Alabama to vie with each other in friendly rivalry.
 Central Alabama, particularly this county, is well known for It's fertile soil It's hospltable people and It's excellent climate. On account of the excellent soil the farmers of Dallas are among the most prosperous in the South both in agricultural pursuits and the raising of fine stock to which. during late years. they have devoted much atten- tion. The fair to be held in October will illustrate what the farmers of Central Alabama have accomplished in these two lines and no doubt will open the eyes of the world and help educate the people of this section in agricul- tural pursuits.
 Besides the agricultural and mineral

A few days ago Special Agent New of the Southern Railway found a quan-

the corp of engineers who are survey. ing in the Birmingham district, and which are a part of those who occupy l room at the court house, are in Ala
 bama in the interest of the Illinois Central Railroad. They say that the Illinois Central is seeking another out let to the gulf as well as to the mineral
 regions of this State. and that they
 will some day build a line from Hat
 tiesburg through Selma to the Birming- ham district, but there Is no informa-
 tion obtainablo on the subject, and 1t is all guess work that Is being indulged
 in by the curious. who want to know what the engineers are doing.
 Road Assured.
 The Memphis and Pensacola Road Is now an assured fact, and will be built, but it Is also known that the survey of the proposed line does not come by Selma. The road will run from Mem phis via Demopolis. It Is also said to be the intention of the builders of this road to build a branch to the mineral fields of North Alabama to join :he main line.
 Those who love to guess at things areS)f the opinion that this branch line to the mineral fields will connect with a trunk line from the east. They are convinced that the three railroad pro- moters With whom Law Lamar recently had conversation in New York are behind the Memphis and Pensacola Road as well as the Atlanta and Ala bama Air Line. which he wrote about, and that the builders of the two pro- posed roads are one. If this should prove true and the branch road through the mineral fields is built from Atlanta to New Orleans by Selma, 1t will be better for this city to have that branch than to have the main line of the road from Memphis to Pensacola.
 Mir. Miller who is at the head of the engineering corps which has been sta- toned here for some time, made a statement few weeks ago. It was to the effect that this branch line of the Memphis and Pensacola could be brought through Selma if the citizens would give q sufficient bonus. This branch line which will penetrate the mineral regions of the State will con- meet with the main line of the road about twenty-five miles west of Selma. To bring 1t to Selma would necessitate the building of bridge across the Ala bama River which. If the road did not come through here. would not have to be built. Therefore, the bonus Is asked for
 The proposition was referred to the Commercial and Industrial Association. No action has yet been taken in the matter other than for 1t to be dis cussed. What consideration the prop osition will receive is a matter of con- lecture. But after all the Conner cial and Industrial Association could do nothing unless it had the hearty CO., operation of the citizens.

Lake Nearly Finished.


 It Is now thought that the stream of water from the big artesian well at Elkdale park will be turned into the lake during the coming week. The lake has been about completed and when filled up will be source of great pleasure to the frequenters of the park. Three new steel boats for the lake were received this week and they will also add greatly to the pleasure of the patrons of the park.
 In course of few weeks several additional Improvements will be made at the park. ladies' dressing room will be built on the southside of the pavilion by the side of the soda foun- tain and a four room cottage will also be built in the rear of the pavilion. The rooms of the cottage will be fitted up with couches and easy chairs so that they will add much to the com fort of the lady guests, who when they feel fatigued can go there and lie down and rest for a while
 It Is also understood that Colonel Abbott is trying to secure the services of band which will give nightly con certs on the little island in the mid dle of the lake These concerts would prove a great source of pleasure to the patrons of the park and would be largely attended.

 Special Agent New identified the goods as some that had been taken from a freight train. No. 3. on the road on June 4th. There were three lots In the car which were consigned to three separate concerns in Mobile. The goods consisted of various articles of clothing and all of them were recov- cred from Smiths barn.
 The particulars of the robbery were given away by a negro whom the of licers captured. He tod how the car had been robbed, who was implicated in the robbery and where the goods could be found. The officers looked for the goods where the negro told them they were and found all that were missing in Smiths barn. One of the negroes implicated in the robbery, named Jerry Haralson. has been cap tured and is now in the Chiffon County jail at Clanton and 1t is thought that shortly the others will be captured

Four of them were white men and one negro woman who runs store in North Selma Mayor Atkins told them that the fine for violating the liquor law was $l00. but that he would let them off this time with a nominal fine and that if they were guilty of the offense again they would get the full penalty. The five merchants who were up were Charles Northrop. w. D. Strickland J. D. Summers. Will Moore and Minnie Calhoun. A fine of q each was as- sessed against them.
 The case against Hattie Hinton, charged with grand larceny. was nolle pressed.
 A white man named H. B. Howard was in court on the charge of refusing to work the street for his street tax. No case could be made against him as only verbal summons had been given him, but before he left the court a written summons was handed him and within the next three days he must pay his tax or work on the streets.
 Cy Moore, a negro. was up charged with an assault with a weapon. No fine was assessed against him. but he was placed under a bond of $150 to await the action of the grand jury.

Our Best Beloved Man
Since McKinleY's Death.

General Fitzhugh Lee is dead and sor-
row has entered every home In Nir-
!! gnia and not only in Virginia. but
throughout tho United States and fay
beyond It's borders, wherever he was
known will the intelligence Of his sudden
death carry sorrow.
While President Mckinley lived. Cen
3 eral Lee shared with him the enviable
position Of being the best beloved man
throughout this land and after McNinlcy's
untmely death it might justly be said
of Fitzhugh Lee as was said by his
grandfather, Light Horse Harry Lee, Of
another great virginan, The was first In
y the hearts Of his countrymert." His UNI
swerving loyalty to Virginia and the
South set off by his genial and gcncr-
Gus nature seemed to attract IN Their than
repel the people Of the North and he was
among the first to draw from them cx-
pressons cS sympathy for the South
and to aid In uniting those who had stood
asunder.
He served his State in the field and in
civil life and always well She had
marked him for further honor and
though that honor was wrested from
service and of usefulness. Indeed by his
patriotic course as consul general in
Cuba he, became the object of national
interest and admiration.
Although he had reached n period OF
life and had done work which would
justly cntitle him to retirement and re-
pose he was called upon to give direc-
ton and life TO the national commemo-
ration in 1907 of the settlement of James
town and throwing his whole heart alit
soul into the work, his abors in many
Is States has been SO great that he has lit
orally laid down his life in the cause II
will be impossible to find any one who
can fill his place.
1t is perhaps as he would have wis1lct
that he has fallen with his harness on ant
in the performance Of the grateful duty
of showing to other States the claims
OF Virginia upon the reverence and graf.
itude Of the whole nation.
1t is surely well that he was spared al
the infrmities of age and that his pow
crs never felt the touch Of decays eff
facing fingers. but there is an mex

OF life and strength and usefulness a.,
