Advertiser Bureau,


 There Is a likelihood that the law on the statute book of the city of Selma which says that there shall be no dig ging up of the streets or any excava- tions of any kinds during the summer months will be tested. To do such work during the summer months one must get permit from the committee of the council on hygiene and cemetery or from the board of health. This law was made with the intention and be- lief that it would stop the spread of disease during the months of June. July, August and September.
 For some time the Selma Lighting Company has had a large force of hands at work on Selma street laying new ten inch gas main from East Selma with the Intention of extending the main to the extreme limit of the city in West Selma. Tho work of digging up Selma street and laying the new main has been progressing rapidly and the pipes have been laid as far up as Green street. From Green street the main would only have to extend about fifteen blocks farther before 1t would have been completed and it is thought that the work could have reasonably been finished in about two months longer.
 A few days ago Mayor Atkins, ever looking out for the welfare of the city, sent word to the Lighting Com pany that the work of laying this main up Selma street would have to be stopped on the first of June. So today the force of hands which have been doing this work was laid off and the work has been stopped for a few days at least The stopping of the work will prove a source of great inconven- fence to the lighting company and an effort will be made by them to see if the law will hold.
 A few years ago during the summer months the same company by permis- sion of the board of health dug up the old main on Broad street and put a new one in as far down the street as the Union depot. For that reason 1t cannot see why the main down Selma street cannot just as we'll be dug up in the summer months as the one on Broad street was. It was stated to- day that the board of health held 8 special meeting a few days since and considered the matter of the main be- ing laid during the summer and raised no objections to its being completed. whether there Is any truth in this re- port Is not known.
 Through it's attorney, H. s. D. Mall lory, the Selma Lighting Company is looking into the legality of the ordi- nance on the statute book of the city. When MT. Mallory submits his opinion of the law to the management of the company they will be guided by it.. If Mir. Mallory decides that the law | will not hold 1t Is understood that the lighting company will immediately re- sume work of laying the main down Selma street and will complete it this summer. If he is of the opinion that | the law will hold, the company will not resume the laying of the main until 1t can secure the proper authority to do so during the summer months or it will wait until the coming of fall.

tSill in Trouble.
 G4aIl h Trouhla-


 in police circles as ''Chinch," is still in trouble. Yesterday morning he was fined $10 in police court on the charge of tresspassing after warning. He paid the fine and left the city hall. but few hours later was arrested on the charge of vagranoy. "Chinch," when it comes to paying street tax, claims that he is not old enough, but insists that he is twenty-one when 1t comes to playing pool in the negro pool room on Washington street.
 The charge against him yesterday morning of tresspassiug after warning was for his going in this pool room. Mayor Atkins warned him to keep out of 1t, but as soon as he was free '+Chinch" did not stop until he reached the pool rom. The case against him for vagrancy was called in police court this morning but was postponed until next Monday. But while he was in court Mayor Atkins had an additional warrant sworn out against "Chinch" for contempt of court and both of the cases will come up for a hearing on Monday.
 Three other cases for letting stock run at large were continued until the sitting of the court tomorrow morn ing.

Nothing in law to Prohibit

"Custom has made It almost univcr

the local court the other morning.. 1T
seems natural that It should be so.
Nevertheless. there is nothing in the
laws Of this country prohibiting man
taking another name. and no Legal
penalty IL attached to his doing so
There is always however a possibility
OF its being attended with inconven.
ience and perhaps loss to himself
There is a way by which a man may
change his name with the sanction OF
The law, and that is the only safe way.
but the law requires him to assign
scme good reason for the change. Men

Wishing 70 change their names. Some
times a man wishes to drop his right
nome because it is Of foreign and diff.
ficult for an American tongue TO pro-
nounce. This may injure him in busi.
ness, as there is such a thing as pref.
udice even in this free and enlightened
commonwealth. Or his name may have
in English an absurd or even vulgar
meaning and subject him to unpleasant
jckes, or It may associate him with
scme notorious criminal or be the
counterpart Of some name which his
tory has made infamous, or it may be
misspered and consequently mlspro-
nounced on his entry to this country.

Is a small piece Of gold leaf, which is
electrified by means Of very small
quantity OF radium salt. The gold leaf
bends away from the metal substance

it loses its electrical charge and then
springs back and is again electrified,
