THE NEWS OF SELMA
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, May l9.
 No new developments came to light last night and today in the matter Of the alleged wrong -doings of Dave Shel- don, the young man who 1t is claimed for many months has been systemati- cally padding the pay roll of the Pea cock Iron Works. His many friends had no idea that his absence from this city was on account of any wrong doings of his and the revelation came to them as a great surprise this morn ing and one which they greatly de- plored.
 Sheldon came to Selma from Greens boro and is of a good family which is highly connected all over the State. While 1t was known that he was a heavy drinker he has never been seen to stagger on the streets and has always conducted himself as a gentle man. This heavy drinking, together with a close intimacy with woman Of the demi monde. is attributed by his friends to be the cause of the young mans padding of the pay rolls and ap- propriating money that did not belong to him.
 Every effort will be made to appre- hend Sheldon and if caught he Will be brought back and have to stand trial. Yesterday afternoon and last night many telegrams were dispatched in the hope that the young man would be located but so far no answer has been received. During the past week, before Sheldons shortage had been thoroughly investigated. the Peacock Iron Works received a letter from concern in Jackson. Tenn, to whom Sheldon had applied for a position and referred to them for a reference. Tele- grams were sent to this concern and the city authorities of Jackson, in the hopes that he would be located, but as yet no answer from there has been received.

ROW IN WEST END.
Negro Shot and Killed by George
 Whitehurat.


 After dispute over a trivial matter iu front of Sanders's store on May Street. West End. at 2:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon, George Whitenurs.' a negro, shot and fatally wounded William Cant. a 17year-old negro ooy' who died last night at 10 o'clock.
 After the shooting Whitehurst es- capped and gave the members or tle Montgomery police force a chase before they located him on the river bank in the western part of the city. White hurst had crawled up into the creVlce of a ditch formed by waterfioW lnto the river and refused to come out or his place of hiding when commanded to do so by Mounted Officers LaPrade and Bowling. He was finally brought out of the ditch by George Hubbard a negro, who volunteered to go and get him, He was taken bv the officers to the city prison where he was lodged In a cell charged with suspicion pending the outcome of Gants condition.
 The wounded negro was taken to St. Margaret's hospital for surgical atten- tion. A ball from a 3S cal!- bre pistol penetrated his stomach.
 The trouble between Whitehurst and Cant is said to have arisen over the rather noisy laughter of Cant and oth- CT boys near Whitehursts home where his wife was playing on an organ. She remonstrated with the boys for making so much noise, it Is said, and received tmpertinent answers from them. She told her husband and he went out to see what he could do. Some of the by islanders said that Whitehurst told Cant he would kill him if he didn't stop the noise and the boy answered him in defiant language and picked up a bottle Whitehurst went into his house and returned with his pistol which he immediately fired.
 Whitehurst was conveyed late in the afternoon to the County jail on a war rant sworn out by friends of Cant charging him with assault to murder. The charge was later changed to mur- der

The Ways of Premiere,

Queen Victoria once wrote to Lord
palmerSton, then premier of England,
expressing the wish that she could
speak from his place in the house OF
commons. palmerStOn replied: Wis
count Palmerston presents his humble
duties to your majesty and has had
the honor to receive your maiesty's
communication of Yesterday stating
what your majesty would have said if
your majesty had been in the house of
commons. NiScount PalmerSton may,
perhaps, be permitted to take the liber-
ty of saving that it is fortunate for
those from whose opinion her majesty
differs that your ma aieSty is not in the
house of commons, for they would have
to encounter Il formidable antagonist
in argument, although, on the other
hand, those whose opinions your majcS-
ty approves would have had the sup
port of powerful ally In debate"

direct way in dealing with women
One of them once attempted to get
certain piece of information from him.

then answered, "Oh, you darling"
