NEGRO PARTY ENDS
 IN FATAL QUARREL
Selma Negro Shoots Tow Others, Kill ing One and Badly Injur-
 ing the Second.

Selma, July 30-(Special.)-O the Ed Jones place across Jojes creek, about three miles from the city. occurred a fatal o'clock. All the parties concerned were negroes, the affair taking place at the end of a dance and pay party given in one of the negro houses on the place. Henry Howard, teamster for MT. Jones, who runs stall In the city market, did the shooting. It seems he had used MT. Jones' wagon to take two negro youths from the eastern portion of the city over to the dance. the boys having agreed to pay him for hauling them. After the dance, in which no doubt, the usual amount of liquor predominated, Howard asked the two boys for their fare, and they said they would pay 1t when they returned to the city. Words followed, and so far as can be learned Howard pulled his pistol and emptied 1t point blank at the two negroes. Three of the balls took effect in the breast of Henry Howser, and one went through the fieshy part of the neck of the other negro, whose name was not learned.
 Howard immediately left for parts un- known, and the wounded negro came to the city for medical attention and report ed the shooting. The family of the dead negro took charge of the remains and had them removed to the city.
 Wood Lee, who has been running a hack in Selma for many years, was sud- denly stricken with paralysis yesterday afternoon while hitching up his horses.
 
 midnieht last night the negro died. He was well known throughout the city and his death Is sincerely lamented by both whites and blacks

A Nation of Housekeepers

A favorite fling of the French at the
English has always been that the lat
ter are nation of shop keepers. An
English woman has now called Ameri-
cans "a nation of housekeepers." Dur
ing a recent visit to this country she
was struck by the fact that so many
American women OF means and refine
ment either "do their own work" or
actively superintend the domestic ar
rangements, taking pride in this
duty.
Our friend was surprised to learn
that "an American woman will spend
the forenoon i'm cooking, or busting, or
cleaning, then dress herself like a
duchess and sally forth to the meeting
of a fashionable club where she is to
read learned paper, like as not, or
else call a carriage and make a round
of social calls. And her standing does
not seem TO be impaired in the least by
the fact that during part of the day
she has done the work of menial, nor
has 1t affected her own personal at
tractiveness."
No other woman has done so much
as the American to emphasize the dig
nifty of labor.-Exchange.
