ERA OF BIG THINGS.
Skill and Talent Command Greater
Rewards Than Ever in
Worlds History.

In these days the surgeon who is
master Of his science receives fees
which would have startled the surgeons
and the public so years ago. A fee Of
$4,000 Is not uncommon for an op-
GRAFTON which can be performed in
comparatively little time. OF course.
$4,000 is not the maximum fee.
There are cases, 1t is stated, in
which rs much as $4,000 has been
paid. When life is hanging by a
thread the question of fees is i'm
material. The average man will give
oil that he has. If required, to get a
new lease of life through the sur.
geon's skill. A famous throat spe.
cialist was once summoned from
London to treat the father Of the
present kaiser. He remained only q
few days after making a diagnosis.
He rendered no bill. but it is said
the German government gave him a
fee which represents half years
earnings Of the specialist who had
very large income from his profes.
sion. Even the literary man receives
large fees for his work. Mr.. John
Morley, it has been stated, was paid
$4,000 to write the Life of Glad.
stol1e." Certainly, great skill and
talent never commanded greater re-
wards than they do now. 1t is an era
of big things.

LIFE IN OCEAN.
Professor Of Cambridge Gng.) Uni
versity Tells Some New and
Interesting Facts.

]. Stanley Gardiner, of Cambridge
university, has been exploring the
Indian ocean and gives it as his opin.
ion that at one time there was land
connection between Ceylon and Mad.
agascar. But it is In describing the
wonders of the deep that his report
grows most interesting. "A very con.
siderable variety Of deep-sea fish was
brought up" he says. AT least half
the number we secured seemed quite
J, new specimens, and, I believe, are
not described in any textbook. Some
Df these had enormous eyes. some
only rudimentary eyes, the size of
pins head. while some had no
eyes at all.
"One of the most interesting dis
coveries we made was that floating
life is exceedingly abundant at all
depths down to about 1900 fathoms
in seas $500 fathoms deep. BY float
Ing life l mean animals which form
the food Of whales and deep-ocean
fish. and which up to the present
have been believed to live on or very
close to the surface. A variety OF
enormous sQuids was fished out as
well as jelly fish and gigantic. prawns
fully six inches long. Some of these
latter were blind, while others had
huge eyes, but nearly all Of them
had phosphorescent organs, which
would naturally be due to the fact
that they live at depth where al
most total darkness prevails.
"The blind varieties had enormous
3eelers, or tentacles, some of them
extending to twice the length OF
their own bodies. Some forms, such
as the water flea, which is only about
the size of q pins head in surface
water, we discovered six or ten times
that size in. 600 or 700 fathoms."

His PERPETUAL Office.

The old black auntie who looked
after Congressman Robertson, OF
Louisiana, in his babyhood is disposed
to be congratulatory at times. Not
long ago she said to him: '1'se proud
O. yo', Marse Sam. Deed I is, honey,
proud O de way yo' hol Office, jes
like yo' father" "Why, what office
did my father ever hold, auntie?'
asked Mr.. Robertson. "Marse Sam,''
said the old woman, 'is yo' done for
got dat? He was a candidate, you
paw was, New knew de time he
wasn't candidate; no, sub; always

A man can't be unusually polite
without being looked upon with sus-

When the real nature of a mans
business is in doubt it is often limited
that he is a gambler.
A woman is never satisfied with her
self until she has outdone her neigh

one Of four trees. A century ago De

to be, respectively. $500 and 3,240

AVERAGES OF CLUB.
Sam Apperious Leads In Batting and
 RaId


 Manager Durrett and his Climbers reached home on an early train yester- day morning from Mobile where they played three games with Reeds Cot ton States Leaguers. winning two and losing one by one run.
 During the six games with the Mobile team the Climbers have made ninety four hits and sixty-six runs while Mo bile has made nineteen hits and nine runs.
 Sam Apperious leads the team in bat ting with twelve hits in the six games. a batting average of 4S0. Schwartz and Wallace each have seven hits in the six games, but one more time at bat pulls Schwartz's average below that of Wallace. Mullaney has six hits, but the incident that pleases the fans most is the fact that Durrett is in the game for keeps, and got two bagger in his only game. The team batting average is .292. Appertous leads the fielding with eight chances. Dur rett having one assist and one putout. Dominick Mullaney really leads every thing with sixty chances, four of them assists. Schwartz has one error in twenty eight chances, Perry three er- TOTS in thirty-one chances. and Hilley two errors in twenty chances. Hausen has two errors in twenty-nine chances and McAleese one error in nineteen chances, the team fielding average be- ing .961. The average in full for the six Mobile games are:

 Prof. Dixie Anderson has announce cd that he will be fin the race for the legislature from Houston county. This makes two avowed candidates. pr. H. P. Calhoun of Cottonwood having all ready announced his willingness to serve the people in this capacity. It is probable that Col. C. L. McLendon will formally announce soon, making it an interesting three-cornered fight.
 It is learned that the Garbutt Lun1- Der Co. will move its immense plant from Georgia to this territory, and will locate either here or at Cottonwood. This big concern employs 500 men, and all of these will be brought with the mill. It is said that the company will also build railroad from here to Wilson's Mill. connecting with the line from that point to Cottonwood. which would give Dothan road through an unusually rich territory at present not adequately covered. One of the Gar butt brothers was in Dothan today. He was not very communicative con- corning the plans of his company, but through an intimate friend an Adver- tiser man learns that there is little or no doubt that arrangements will be perfected immediately for the proposed change.
 No new entries have been made in the interesting fight Tor the sheriff's office in this county. Four are in the race at present: N. B. Crawford, the present incumbent, "Chile" Murphy, Thomas w. Butler ard R. Kornegay. It is not believed, however. that this quartette will have the field to them selves, and additio, al announcements are daily expected by those who are keeping in touch with the situation. MT. Crawford. who has given an ex- cellent administration. will prove a very hard man for any of the other aspirants to defeat, although all of the four are we'll known and popular.

Twenty-one Acres fin Tobacco.

Through the efforts of Congressman Bowie twenty-one acres of Dallas county land will be devoted to the culture of tobacco this year. Near Minter station there will be planted sixteen and half acres and four and a half acres will be planted near Sum- merfeld. Both of these patches of tobacco will be planted and raised un- der the supervision of MT. Aver, a gov- ernment expert. MT. McNess, another government tobacco expert, will also closely watch the growth and if the experiment proves successful there Is but little doubt that next year many acres of Dallas county soil will be de- voted to the raising of tobacco.

COUNCIL OF SELMA
WILL HOLD AN IMPORTANT MEET
 ING TONIGHT.
Matter of Bond Issue Recently Author ixed by the Voters of the City
 Will Re Up for Com alteration.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, April 8. The regular monthly meeting of the City Council is scheduled to be held in the Council room at the City Hall to- morrow night. The meeting will be an important one and as many matters of public interest will come before 1t there is no doubt the full membership of the Council will attend.
 One of the most important matters to be considered will be the issuing of $150,000 of bonds with which to buy the waterworks system here or with which to erect a new system. The is- suing of the bonds was voted upon last Monday and the bonds won out by a vote of almost 10 to 1.
 Since the election Mayor Atkins and Clerk Toler have received many in quiries as to when these bonds will be put on sale. The bonds to be issued are considered good ones, and the firms in the North and West who are making inquiries about their sale are anxious to take the whole issue. Sealed bits will be opened about May 14th, when the is- sue will be sold
 Before the election on the bond issue there were many who thought that the city officials would find considerable difficulty in placing the issue. The many requests for information since the election shows that after all it will not be difficult task to place them and double the amount would be easily sold.
 The bonds will draw about per cent interest per annum and are considered a good investment. It Is very likely that several Selmians will make bids for about half of the bonds.
 Besides the question of the bond issue several other matters of interest will be considered.

Moore's plantation, about four miles north of the city early this morning. After shooting the woman the negro took one of his noighbor's mules and came to this city for a physician.
 The neighbor from whom he had borrowed the mule thought that George had stolen his animal and placed a young negro on another mule and sent him to Selma by a short cut. The young negro. as soon as he reached the city, rode to police headquarters and reported the matter. As soon as George Neal on the borrowed mule reached the city he was arrested
