The negroes say that they expect him to return any day.
 Hunter has not been seen since he went more than a week ago to Valley Creek to gamble with the negroes who have been in jail.

Fire Committee win be busy hearing the evidence In the case of the inef- f1ciency and incompetency of the police force and the allegations against Policemen Smith and White. Next Wednesday the Council in full will hear the evidence in the eases against Policemen Mosely and Davis and the fate of the two oricers will be voted on.
 There appears no doubt but that the prevailing opinion of the best people of the city Is decidedly in favor of rev. olutionizing the police force. and 1t Is highly probable that sentiment will be emphatically voiced next Wednesday night when the Council will have noth- ing else on hand but to look into police irregularities.
 Again today both, Selma newspapers commented on the alleged insult to the newspaper correspondent and the threats by Policeman Mosely that the correspondent would be run out of tho city. Both papers called on the Coun- ell to take immediate and drastic action if the investigation showed the charge to be true, and there is no doubt but that the Council appreciates the public seEtimentI

Webster's Small School Dietion-

Arithmetic. There were no such
books as a school reader, geog-
raphy, grammar, U. S. history
or algebra, neither did We have
tablets or lead pencils; the slate
and slate pencil being used ex-
clusively. Occasionally a boy
or girl would become far enough
advanced to read the biography
of some great man. There were
no steel or gold pens in use then.
The goose quill pen was used
entirely. The pupils would
furnish the quill, and the teacher
would make the pen, the teacher
being expected to keep a small
pocket knife called "pen knife
with which to make pens. Our
ink was made from red oak balls,
or sometimes we would go to our
mothers's blue dye pot and get
indigo blue ink. Webster's old
blue back speller was all right
for the schools in those days, if
his descendants did, as we are
told, build the Kansas City,
Springfield and Memphis Rail-
road with the profits from the
sale of that book and Webster's
other books.
There was very little wheat
raised in this country in early
days. Although the land seemed
to produce nearly twice as much
TO the acre then as now, the most
of the farmers had very hard
\and slow process of separating
wheat from the straw. Men
would 60 to the woods and cut
a hickory pole some ten feet long,
as large as a mans arm, and
about two feet from the large end
of this pole they would beat and
twist a short space of it until it
was timber. Then they would
lay a lot of wheat in a pile, on
so me rails or logs so as to keep
it off the ground, and use this
frail in beating the wheat ou'
from the straw. But the farmer
who had a lot horses, or if he
could borrow some horses, would
use horses feet to thresh the
wheat. They would clean off {
spot of ground, about thirty fee
in diameter, and make it perfec tly
round and level, then beat it very
hard and smooth with mauls o.
square ends of billets of wood
A post and rail fence would ther
be made around this yard, leav-
ing a gateway, of course, and th'
wheat hauled from the field as
needed, and, beginning on the
outer edge of the yard, one bundle
would be laid on the ground be
side another, until the circle o
the yard was made, putting tn,
heads of wheat towards the cente
of the yard. Then another row
would be laid around the sam,
way, except reversing the end o
the wheat and letting one bundle
lap into the end of another. Thi
would be continued until tn
yard was covered with wheat
except some six feet in the center
Then the sport would come TO
the boys, for the boys were
necessary factor during whea
threshing time. There would b
put from eight to twelve head y
horses in this yard on the wheat
and one or two boys would get OF
a horse each, with whips in hand
and drive around and around in
fast trot until the horses wer
tired, then all would stop and tn

AS a result of an explosion OF gas,
which had collected in chimney of the
Frederick Baker residence on Pasa-

tire north side of the house was wreck
ed, the chimney blown to pieces and
occupants of the house had remark
able escape from serious injury.
Probably the most remarkable fea-
ture Of the explosion was that Mrs.
Baker and her little niece, Ruth Ken
nedy, who were reclining on bed near
the chimney, were uninjured.
The explosion occurred when Miss
Margerie Baker lighted an instan-
taneous gas heater in the bath room,
the fire communicating to the gas in
the chimney.
Baker says the pilot light of the
heater became extinguished and escap-
ing gas filled the chimney. When Miss
Baker attempted to light it, the gas in
the chimney ignited and the explosion
was the result.
The house was damaged more than

Weeks Tour Of East

IT expect to remain in this church
indefinitely and end my days here in

a recent call to the pastorate of Trinity
church in Denver, but I have declined
it. as we'll as two other eastern calls
within one year"
These statements were made by Rev.
Robert Mcintyre, pastor of the First
Methodist church, who returned yester-
day morning from an eastern lecturing
tour.
Rev. DIR. Mcintyre was seen in his
study yesterday afternoon and ex-
pressed himself as having enjoyed a
delightful trip in the east, debarring
the extreme heat.
DR.. Mcintyre has been on lecturing
tour in the principal cities of Iowa,
Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska and Missouri.
He delivered three lectures a week for
five weeks on varied subjects before
Chautauqua assemblies.
Unique Honor
II went on my own responsibility"
said DR.. MyIntyre, land am the only
man from. this coast to have the honor
of delivering a series of lectures before
the Chatauqua assemblies in the eastern
states"
Regarding the conditions of the east
DR.. Mcintyre said that although the
season had been very hot, general pros
perity prevailed.
II was, of course, introduced every
where as the man from Los Angeles, :"
said the divine, as he arose from his
chair and walked leisurely about his
study, "and was confronted with
many inquiries about this city and sur
rounding country. 1t is almost beyond
comprehension the number of inquiries
made of Southern California. Very
many are turning their thoughts in this
direction with hopes of realizing the
benefits of this unsurpassed country
and climate"
DR.. Mcintyre will take up his pas
toral work at once, much invigorated
by his eastern trip.

BELIEVES BUSINESS MAN
WANTS TO MARRY HER
Pretty Mae Godfrey Exhibits Symp-
toms Of Failing Mentality and
Is Sent to Insane Ward

Laboring under the delusion that D.
H. Hart, proprietor of the Natick
hotel, is in love with her and has
promised to marry her, pretty 16-year-
old Mae Godfrey has harrassed Mr..
Hart until he was forced to secure a
warrant charging Miss Godfrey with
insanity. The girl was examined in
Captain Auble's office Friday night
and yesterday morning was sent to the
insane ward at the county hospital.
Living alone with her aged mother,
Mrs. Mary Godfrey, at the Narragan-
sett hotel, Miss Godfrey was COM
PEELED to seek employment four months
ago to support herself and mother. She
secured a position as waitress at the
Natick.
No symptom of mental debility was
exhibited by her until a week after
tained that letters were being shown
by the girl to other waitnesses, pur-
porting to have been written by Mr..
Hart, asking her to elope with him.
After several of these letters were
shown the girl showed several she had
written to Hart and this aroused sus-
picion. Investigation revealed that
she had forged the letters from Hart
to her and Hart had not written or
received one.
Hart was told of the affair and dis
missed the girl. For several weeks
nothing was heard from her, but about
two months ago she began to annoy
Hart by telephone calls. All sorts of
schemes and tricks were resorted to by
her to communicate with him. Letters
were written and messages were sent,
but no heed was given them until
Friday evening, when a nurse and
doctor dashed into the Natick hotel
and asked for G. A. Hart. Inquiry re-
vealed that Miss Godfrey had sent a
telephone call to each.
So many disagreeable experiences
had been endured by Mr. Hart that
he decided to have the girl taken into
custody Letters, when compared,
showed that the ones written by Miss
Godfrey to Hart and the ones supposed
to have been written by Hart to Miss
Godfrey were In the same handwriting.
