Selma, September -(speeial)-Bruce
Hahn, prominent planter of Dallas coun-
ty living about eight miles south of the
city, had an exceedingly narrow escape
from death or permanent injury few
days ago Mr.. Hahn with his brother
conduct a large ginning establishment
and the brush in one of the gins failed
to work properly. Mr. Hahn lifted the
breast of the gin and forgetful of the
fast revolving saw put his hand into the
gin to remove some cotton lint. As he
did so the sharp teeth cut all four of his
fingers badly. As the saws came In con-
tact with his hand Mr. Hahn jumped
quickly back before the teeth could pull
his arm further into the voraoious Jaws
of the gin. As it was all four of his
fingers were badly lacerated and he will
carry his arm in a sling for some time.

boom. The number of residences going up

building on the corner of Alabama and
Lauderdale streets 1t will be the signal
for the erection of two and perhaps three
four or five story buildings in that vicin-
ity. Already Eliasberg & Bros. have had
plans drawn for five story building on
the corner diagonally across from the
government building A. X. Cawthon,

drawn for a three story building and o.

opposite the government building site has
Eve story office building planned.
