 The chances of Selma getting into the Cotton States League seem bright II the letter that President Rosendorf this morning received from Presloeh. Wheatly off that organization IS any indication. The letter Is in answer .o one which MT. Rosendorf wrote to MT: wheatly on the 9th at the request or Tommy Stouch, manager Of the Meri7 dian team of that league.
 In his letter to MT. Rosendorf, Pres ident Wheatly said that he had not heard of the Vicksburg club 'of the league weakening and WithdraWins' but that there were some other ciups of the one, two, three class in the orr ganization that were weakening ana could not stand the pace set py the other clubs much longer. and that very probably one of these clubs would drop out in a short while. The attendance in these cities which had losing clubs he stated was very poor and that they could not last much longer. He also asked Mir. Rosendorf to come to Green vile immediately to see about getting into the league, or else send repre- sentative.
 There seems to be a puzzle now as to which league Selma will go into. The prospects seem bright for her getting franchise in either the Cotton states or the Tri-State League A letter that MT. Rosendorf also received today from MT. Moffett states that the organfza- tion of the Tri-State League will cer- tainly take place in Chattanooga on Friday if Anniston and Rome will put in clubs, but it is not certain that these two cities will put clubs in the league. The Selma club will return home Sunday next and will play three games each with the Knoxville (Tenn.) and the Laurel (Miss.) teams. A request for games was also received today from the semi-professional team of Forrest. Miss.

MT. Haynes, Statement.


 Hugh Haynes of Soapstone was in the city yesterday and made "a state ment in reference to- the difficulty be- tween Brice Finch and himself as fol- lows:
 Tt is true that l have had some trouble with Brice Finch, but for one time In my life am in the right. Finch went up to where a lot or young negroes were engaged in working the road, drew his pistol on the negro overseer and ran twenty-seven negroes off who were working the road met him and asked him about 1t and he talked very ugly and accused me Of running one of his hands off, when the facts are he had done so himself. l did not strike him while he was on horseback, but as could not outrun a horse he got away.
 He threatened to blow my head on before I got home, and talked very ugly about my 16-year-old son when he was in Selma. The boy borrowed a pistol, a toy affair, and when Finch called him vile name on the road the boy jumped out of his wagon, when Finch shot at him three times before he could draw his little S2-calibre pistol He fired at Finch twice and then ran after him for hundred yards and then threw the little pistol at the fast retreating Finch.
 "As to a mob surrounding Tinchs s home, that is the veriest rot, which can be proven by a couple of representable men, who were in the house at the time that Finch alleges his residence was surrounded I did go to Benton to try to meet Finch in order to resent his shooting at my 16-year-old son. who has not long had off knee pants but all who know me will readily be- lieve that I am not the kind of man | to go a foes residence under cover oi darkness and try to assasinate him. "A warrant will be served on Finch for interference with hands in the law ful discharge of their duties, and all the facts will doubtless come out at the trial. When I first approached Finch had no idea of a difficulty was un-

 Marjory in her pink Champray oress' \ long white box tucked under one arm. ripped joyously up the lt.Ie flight of steps that led to her dress makers apartments. Her delicate blonde face looked very fair and love N under the quaint Poke bonnet Witn its bunch of blush roses on top anu the soft liberty ribbons that tied un- der her chin.
 A rich, vivid color had risen to her cheeks---a perfect match to the flowers in her hat-and enhancing, if possible, the clear sparkle In her blue eyes. Her lips were parted slightly, revealing just the edges or her milk-colored teeth
 She paused at the landing mo- ment for breath and then tapped Aacntlys on the oak panelled door.
 Mar5ory was a regular visitor al khe fashionable establishment and the sweet-faced little woman who was 1he proprietor always welcomed her with pleased smile; not so much on account of the big bill which was sure to follow, but because she enjoyed listening to the girls merry chatter, and loved to look at her pure, piquant race. full of refreshing animation.
 Tn response to her light tap, the E door was opened from within, and the young girl. like sudden sun beam, glided into the close little room with its inevitable litter of unfinished garments and bulky packages.
 She sank down in one of the straight hair-covered chairs, and began to un- tie the big twine cord that pound her box. rattling on gaily to the Quiet little woman who was busily occupied over her basting table. :.

A Rumored EstabIIshment.

It was stated on the streets here to- day that there was being organized in Selma a stock company with capital of about s25,000 to go into the under taking business. Whether there is any truth in the report could not be learned as no one could be found who was back of the movement.
 It was stated that the movement started a few nights ago in club in this city and that since then the idea of such an establishment has gained ground and that at present the stock company is being organized to go into the business.

wiu Enter Tri-stnte.

At a meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Selma Baseball Asso- citation, held at 6 o'clock this afternoon. 1t was decided that Selma should go into the Tri-State League. The direc- tors thought that the chances were bet ter for Selma to get in that league than into the Cotton States League. No Representative will be sent to the meet ing which will be held in Chattanooga Friday for the purpose of organizing that body, but F. H. Moffett, who has been the principal mover In the or eanization of the league, will be in- structed to represent Selma and to se- cure a franchise for this city.

pIoced Under Peace Bond.

Joe Turner and Vincent Hoff. two young white boys about IF years olo, were in Police Court this morning, ana each one was placed under a $500 peace bond It was stated in court that the boys were bad and they were placed under a peace bond to save what might prove a serious family disturbance. The case has been pending in the court TOT
 several days, and the evidence or
 great many ladies who live Tn the neighborhood on Washington Street
 was desired, but the ladies would not come into court. Yesterday afternoon
 Mayor Atkins visited the ladies In that
 part of the city and took their evi- dence and this morning placed the two lads under bond. It seems that young Turner for quite a while has been throwing rocks at the house occupied by the parents of young Hofr, and also at negro women as they passed on the street.
 On different occasions it was said that he badly hurt little boy who was | passing, and also threw rock at daughter of one of the neighbors and | injured her. Young Hoff, 1t was stated, used obscene language in the presence
 of ladies. The attorneys for both sides | said that the parents had done all that gentlemen could do to settle the mat ! ter out of the court, but it had been of
 no avail.
 Young Hoff had not been arrested but he was in court and Mayor Atkins ] had a warrant sworn out against hin 1 for dlsorderly conduct and he was
 placed under arrest. No fines were as
 sessed against the boys, they being pu under a peace bond for their good be- | havior in the future.

Long ana pnnni. pound over.

The cases against B. Long and B. Dannis charged with arson, were again called in police court this morn ing. All the evidence in the eases was | taken at the sitting of the court yes- terday morning, but Mayor Atkins held up his decision until this morning, as he said that he wanted to give the case some serious thought.
 This morning Mayor Atkins rendered his decision, which bound the two men | over to await the action of the grand jury. He said that in going over the evidence, he found that Messrs.. Long and Dannis had come out of thelr stores when he thought that they knew there was a fire there. and locked the stores and did not take the proper steps to turn in the fire alarm. He was not certain whether that constituted arson, but he thought that it would be best to bind them over to await the action of the grand jury. The bond was placed at $1,000 in each case.

London Cabmen Object.

Not for the first time is London promised the taxameter cab, which shall register the distance and settle the fare as indisputably as the sum you receive as interest on your money. Two new companies are about to put their motor cabs on the streets, and possibly the change from the horse to the engine will reconcile the driver to the automatic result. In most Ger man cities you may take a cab with security against over charge-even as a stranger But the London cabman some years ago drove the taxameter cab off the streets. the reformed drivers discarding the white hat, the badge of plain dealing, and returned to the ranks. The London cabman pre- lfszs the royalty system
