has, therefore, agreed on the succinct
statement that follows, which will
greatly clarity the situation.
The statement is timely review Of
the arguments for and against present

public mind. It shows what the mems

favor Of selling only such portion OF
the million-do bond issue as will,
with the addition of the surplus funds

This Negro Stole Turkey.

There is a negro in Selma who is trying to start a new fad among his own race. He Is tired of the worn-out gag about the black man and the chicken. Like the old woman in Bob Taylor's story. his preference is tur- key. Be a natural-born reacher," is his motto, and when you reach for
 Cornelius Johnson (no relation, be 1t known. to one Vanderbilt reached high for big game the other night. but there were too many "circumstances" surrounding the disappearance of Mrs. Simons's turkey and Cornelius soon found himself in the clutches of Mayor Atkins's court which does business ev- cry morning and particularly stren- uous business every Monday morning.
 But Cornelius made defense--a for midable defense 1t would nave been they were. By its verdict the court declared Cornelius, his brother and his twin sisters liars. The whole trouble was that they were not artful ones.
 The whole thing happened just like this: Mrs. Simons's turkey roasted in a high tree a few nights ago just over the stall where Cornelius milked COW every night. The next day the turkey in whole was not to be found. but feathers and the turkeys head lying near the tree indicated that the tur- key had gone the way all fat turkeys
 Now Cornelius says and his brother and twin sisters say that they--the twin sisters who hadn't seen their brother in fourteen years-tust hap pened to come to Selma that day and as luck would have it they brought a turkey to their brothers. besides chick

Jurors Mud bo on Time.

Judge Miller, presiding over the Cir cult Court now in session here, has gone on record as one of the most strenuous and at the same time one of the fairest Judges who ei>t sat on the bench in Selma.
 His rigid enforcement of the law to- ward jurors and witnesses has invoked the expression of opinion throughout this district and In many parts of the State ,~d he has been generally com Today when Circuit Court re-conven- ed he propounded the policy that will govern him in carrying on court in this district even more emphatically than
 "rhis court will not wait on witness es that come to Selma by train and that excuse from tardy witnesses will not be benGh -- and communities summoned to this court should come by rail the day prior if they cannot get here before o'clock in the morning. The same rule will ap- ply to jurors"
 which will govern attorneys. Counsel having motions or demur- rers to introduce must have them writ ten and ready when the cases are call have been employed only a short time before the cases are called, said he. late. He told the court he could have been there if be had been informed that court would be called earlier than II o'clock. He understood from the sher- fir that he need not be at the courtroom before II o'clock.
 Judge Miller told the tardy juror that hereafter the latter would not be let off with light fine. One dollar was juror.
 By getting early to work the turies were empanneled before II o'clock and several cases were called at that hour. One or two were laid over for the time being.
 The affidavit changing a negro named Lockett with assault and battery. was Quashed on motion of Attorney Reese. and the defendant was discharged A forfeiture against Lockett's bondsmen for his failure to appear at the fall term of court last year was sustained by Judge Miller and the amount placed' at $25.

Not Contagious.

A pretty teacher in country school
had profound dread of smallpox and
was most energetic in backing up the
efforts of the local board of health. 1t
came to her ears that the mother Of one
of her pupils was confined to the bed
with a mysterious disease, and she at
once jumped to the conclusion that 1t
was smallpox. She put the pupil
through rigid cross questioning but
without obtaining from her any informa-
ton as to the nature of the illness. She
then sent the child home with positive
instructions to find out the nature of the
disease and equally positive orders to re-
main at home should the malady prove
to be contagious.
Next morning the little girl appeared
among her classmates, the teacher
observing her exclaimed: "Jenny
Thompson, are you here again? hasn't
your mother got tho smallpox"
"If you please, ma'am," said Jenny,
tina mither says it's boy, but it's not
catchin' if you're careful. Modern

Her Knowledge of Chinese,

A young woman at watering place
last summer made reputation as pro-
found linguist in a rather odd manner.
She called one day at Chinese laundry,
where she had left a shirt waist, but it
could not be found, as there was no
entry in the book of hieroglyphs CORE
spending to her pink slip. After half
hours search the Chinaman found the
entry. A mistake had been made, the
entry crossed out and new set Of
hieroglyphs in tiny characters placed
below! She was told that the waist
would be Numbered Immediately and
she could get it the next day.
The next day the young woman called
for it, accompanied by three other young
women. At the seashore the excitement
of visit to the Chinese laundry Is not
to be despised. The Chinaman to whom
the pink slip was presented was not the
laundryman of the day before, and he
experienced the same difficulty in find
ing the identifying character, finally
saving "Not in book" The girl answer
ed calmly, 81 can find it," and the
Chinaman allowed her to take the book.
Turning the leaves until she came to
one that had an entry crossed out, with
another in tiny characters under it, she
handed it to the Chinaman. "There it
is," and, to his surprise he found it.
"You only lady know spik Chinese, "
he said. And the other girls looked
upon her with admiration.-Kansas

Hints for House Furnishing.

Do not make the drawing room appear
like a bric-a-brac shop. Have fair
showing of ornaments, but have them
all rare and beautiful, and spread out
that they may be appreciated by the
observer.
To have a pretty home avoid glaring
contrasts of color.
If the wall papers are figured, choose
plain carpets or draperies.
Avoid cheap reprints or poor pictures
of any sort.
See that bookcases have glass doors or
curtains to preserve the books.
Purchase few good articles of furni-
ture rather than host of cheap things,
which will neither look we'll nor wear
we'll after the first month.
Do not put several varieties of styles
in one apartment. That is, do not in
flict Victorian chairs upon Louis XVI
wall paper and combine empire sofas
and mission clocks.
Do not despise any old piece of furni-
ture. If they cannot be used now, they
may come into fashion again in the
future.
Avoid cheap sash curtains with hand
some inside curtains and vice versa.
Have general sitting room where
the entire family can congregate cozily
in the evening, and, If possible, have an
open fire and good reading lamps there,
and comfortable lounge In one corner.
Remember that the kitchen outfit Is
not the cheapest part of the furnishing.
If the carpets or rugs are too expen-
sive, buy plain ingrains, which come in
all colors and both wear forever and are
always in good taste.
Do not choose any conspicuous or
tiresome upholsteries If you do not ex-
pect to furnish for some time and you
will thus avoid much family discomfort.
Beware, above all. of trying to please
everybody in the house-it is useless
and unsatisfactory proceeding.
