WILL PTOMIE CAUGHT
HIS BROTHERS EARLY CAPTURE
 IS PROBABLE.
Negroes for Whom Posses Engaged in Exciting Man Hunt Arc Now in Durancc vile-The News
 of Selma.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma April t5.
 Will Ptomie, the negro who tried to kill Prof. Claud Hardy atAPine Apple several weeks ago and for whom hunt by posses lasting more than week. is in jail at Waco. Tex. and Ed. Ptomie, implicated in the attempted murder. will probably be arrested by tomorrow.
 A telegram to the Selma Bureau of The Advertiser has verified the report printed in The Advertiser Thursday hind the bars in Texas. The-telegram was from Deputy Sheriff W. P. Dris- kill, who went to Waco from Wilcox County on learning that the two ne- groes were in Texas.
 Another telegram today from Deputy Driskill to The Advertisers correspon- dent says that Ed. Ptomie was then be- lieved to be en route to Waco. When he arrives there he will fall into the trap Deputy Driskill has laid for him. His arrest Is expected to take place at any time.
 Deputy Sheriff Driskill said in the telegram that he got his information that Ed Ptomie was bound for Waco in a message from the Sheriff at Dal- las, Tex. Ed Ptomie, 1t appears was In Dallas and when he surmised that the authorities were behind him he left for Waco to join his brother who has al- ready been captured. He left Dallas in time to avoid arrest.
 1t ia not known whether officers have gone from Wilcox County to get Will Ptomie, but 1t Is believed that Driskill will bring both negroes back with him if he succeeds in capturing the second brother.
 Neither is it known to whom the large rewards will go but from the !n- formation of The Advertiser corres- pondent 1t appears that Deputy Dris- kill and one or two others in Pine Ap- pls who apprehended the letter writ ten to a negro in that vicinity Ly one of the Ptomies. making known their whereabouts, will draw the rewards from the State and the citizens, which amounts to several hundred dollars. The citizens reward alone amounted two weeks ago to about $350. and the State offered reward of $200 for the capture of both and their delivery to Sheriff Albritton of Wilcox County.
 The location of the two desperadoes in Texas proves correct the theory of many persons during the time of the weeks man hunt in the outskirts Of Pine Apple and Schuster. As told In one of the accounts in The Advertiser by It's correspondent. who was at the scene, both negroes had received money amounting in total accounted for to more than $30 which was nearly sufficient to pay railroad fare for both to Texas.

ESTATE TO MAKE A
CLAIM TO POLICIES.
Judge T. M. Allen Had Large
Insurance
TRANsFERREoT TO OTHERS HERE
Heirs Will Made Claim to the Entire
Amount of Policies and Notice is
Given Companies Not to Make Pay
ment Otherwise.

The estate of the late Judge Thomas
M. Allen, of Americas, will lay claim
to the entire amount of the life insur-
ance issued to him during a long pc
riod of years preceding his death, and
which is now held by parties here to
whom it was transferred
The several companies have been
given formal notice not to make pay
ment to these assignees
The goodly amount of SIG, 900 is thus
involved, and the case promises to be
one cf interest not only in Americas
but in life insurance circles throughout
the entire state.
Hon. William A. Dodson will repre-
sent the Allen estate.
This action upon the part of heirs tc
thu estate was not unexpected to the
holders f the several policies upon his
life, as for several days such procedure
has been discussed among those here
thus having a financial interest in pol
icies on the deceased.
Claim for the insurance money i
based upon the Georgia law which
holt that no one can carry polio.
upon another unless the assignee is
relative, or the policy is issued to Sc
cure creditors debt.
Ard in this instance sucn condition
scarcely exist,
The best that the holders OF tbes
policies, representing $16, 900, can hop
for is the return Of the premiums the.
have paid, together with interest at III
rate of sewn per cent.
This amount, howe, e., il small il
comparison to the total for b Oh til
estate COL tends.
The estate makes It's ccnt0ntiOn II

procedure ID illegal, and those iajer
ested ca4 IT cover.

The action of the Allen estate in thu

will doubtless put an end to tradinj

sHEkELs FOR AMERlcus VETS
Heroes of Cuban War to Receive .
Stipend

Americas veterans" of the cruel
though bloodless war In Cuba are to
receive shekels from Uncle Sans fat
purse, and as Americus sent more than
hundred Of her patriotic sons into the
breach there will be considerable sum
coming their way ere long. The gov
ernme Mt is due the state of Georgia
$50, 900 on account of the enlistment of
troops during the Spanish Amer lc n
war. The government has this amount
ready to be paid out as soon as the
state files It's account in regular form.
The delay is occasioned by the fact
that the officers have lost track of some
of their men who are entitled to share
IN the disbursement of this sum, and
until these men can be accounted for
and showing made of the amounts
due them, there is little chance of
reaching a settlement with the depart
ment at Washington for some time to
come. The amount above referred to
is due the men from the time they were
enrolled to the time they were mustered
into servics or rejected, and includes
mileage to and from the homes of these
men to the enlistment station.

CLOSE TO 8 CENTS
GOES THE PRICE.
Sharp Advance Is Recorded
Finally.
rHREg-oUARTERs IS OFFERING
But Holders Want More For Their
BaIes-Advance This Week is Near
Iy 40 Points and Values are Still,
Going Higher.

Like Oyama's rush upon Tie Pass,
the forces of King Cotton made a rush
for the eight cents goal yesterday and
missed it only by quarter of a cent
And, like Oyama's veterans, they con-
tinue to hammer away aud wi / soon
take the position by assault.
Eight celts is the victory the Kings
forces yet expect to achieve.
And the advance of forty points, or
nearly a half cent, this week gives
them hope of success. They have held
out stoutly for the position aimed at,
and will take it in due time.
From 81 cents, the lowest price to
which values were forced, the mar ket
has gone up by degrees, slowly but
surely. Holders of spot cotton were
firm IN their demands for better prices,
and despite the frantic efforts of the
bears, 1t seems as though they will re
alizs their fondest dreams.
Yesterday spot cotton in Americue,
the finer grades, was quoted at Y cts.
This is a gain of one ard half cents,
or So 30 per bale, from the Lowest point
of the big slump.
Amercus cotton men believe that
prices will go to cents, even, within
few days. There may be slumps in
the interim, probably today, in view OF
the recent sharp advance and the TAX
ing of profits by spectators, but the
price is certain to go higher.
Whether it will go beyond cents
for this crop is an unknown problem,
but all feel quite sure that it will soon
touch that price.
There are some 5000 bales held in
Americas warehouses and cents may
bring out goodly portion cf this
stock, though holders have not yet
said so. All over the belt there are
large holdings of cotton, and eight
cents is certain to get portion of it.
at all events spot holders are feeling
better than for some time.
