Wooed i'm a Hurry.

A romantic marriage ceremony was performed in the office of the Probate Judge of Dallas County this morning by Chief Clerk J. G. Chisholm The con- tracting parties were ". D. Woods of. this city, and Miss Addie Green of Col, umbus, Ga. The ceremony was witness ed by few of those around the court house, who extended tu the newly we'd ded couple happy congratulations
 The circumstances which led up to the consummation of the marriage Vnws this morning are rather out of the ordinary. Miss Green and other relatives came to Selma last night from Mtnter Station on the Pensacola branch of the Louisville and Nashville At that place they had been visiting reln- tives and intended to take the o'clock train over the Western Railway of Alabama for Montgomery. where they would change cars for Columbus. Ga.
 W. D. Woods Is trC night baggage agent at the union passenger station. and this morning when Miss Green and party reached the station to catch the early morning train over the Western, he met the young lady. In the con versation which followed, the young man told her that he was tired of llv- ing a single life. Tho lady to him expressed the same sentiments, and when he proposed marriage to her. fis proposition was accepted The con- sent of one Q: the male relatives of the woman was asked and this was granted.
 Wo )ds then took his bridc-t to-he over to his hnardipg house. while the rest of the party waited around the pas senger station and did not go on to Columbus as they had intended. Dur ing the morning Woods. with com panion went to the court house and procured the necessary licenses, aud la ter during tho morning, with his bride and her relatives, he returned to thc Probate office when the marriage ceremony was performed

Many people from the country throughout Central Alabama are talk ing advantage of the home seekers rate which the Southern Railway is giving and are going to Oklahoma and Indian Territory prospecting.

Immediately after Judge Miller had rendered his decision. attorneys for Judge Foster gave notice that they would take an appeal. As it is a pref erred case, the matter will be taken up by the Supreme Court of the State as soon as possible.
 The two factions in Wilcox County who are supporting the two candidates are very much stirred up over the ques- tion as to which one is entitled to the office of Probate Judge of the county. The decision rendered by Judge Miller was awaited with considerable interest by them yesterday, anu this ipterest in the ease will not wane until the S-u preme Court has definitely settled the matter.

life with such crude and sweeping

life with such crude and sweeping
congratulations as to include decent
men in the general condemnation
means the soaring of the public con-
science. There results a general atti-
tude either of cynical belief in and in
difference to public corruption or else
of distrustful inability to discrimi-
nate between the good and the bad.
Either attitude is fraught with untold
damage to the country as whole.
The fool who has not sense to dis
criminate between what is good and
what is bad is well-nigh as dangerous
as the man who does discriminate and
yet chooses the bad. There is nothing
more distressing to every good pa
triot, to every good American, than
the hard, scohing spirit which treats
the allegation of dishonesty in a pub
lie man as a cause for laughter. Such
laughter is worse than the cracking
of thorns under pot, for it denotes
not merely the vacant mind, but the
heart in which high emotions have
been choked before they could grow
to fruition.

ment stores of the large cities to the
detriment of your home merchants.
I will admit that a country pub
Usher may succeed in adding a few
names to his subscription list by club
bling with the cheap city weeklies the
first year he makes the experiment.
but there will be no permanent gain.
On the contrary, the country publisher
loses subscribers. In many cases
after the first year the new subscrib.
ers obtained by the clubbing combina-
ton drop the local paper and con
tinue to take the cheap city weekly,
which they can obtain for one-third
or one-fourth the cost of the home
publication. Think this matter over
and see whether you are helping your
self or the ''other fellow" by assisting
in extending the circulation of the
cheap city weeklies.
In conclusion I would urge you to
help the 'other fellow" when he is de-
serving of your help. Your own con-
science must decide who is worthy OF
your support. But there should be
reciprocity in this helping business.
When the helping is one sided it be-
comes decidedly monotonous. AS a
public spirited citizen it is your duty,
as it is the duty of all good citizens,
to help anything and everything that
will make for the upbuilding of the
community where your lot is cast. By
some your efforts will not be appre.
ciated. Ingratitude is one of the bas-
est and most common of sins on this
mundane sphere. But, if there is a
place of rewards and punishments be.
You'd the grave, surely the honest,
conscientious country newspaper
editor will receive what is coming to
him. And the ''other fellow''-
he may also get his just deserts.

Treat Labor and Capital Fairly.


We can no more and no less afford
to condone evil in the man of capital
than evil in the man of no capital.
The wealthy man who exults because
there is a failure of justice in the
effort to bring some trust magnate to
an account for his misdeeds is as bad,
and no worse than, the so-called la
Dor leader who DANGEROUSLY strives to
excite foul class feeling on behalf of
some other labor leader who is impli-
Gated in murder. One attitude is as
bad as the other. and no worse; in
each case the accused is entitled to
exact JUSTICE; and in neither case is
there need of action by others which
can be construed into an expression
of sympathy for crime.

tiers in Bourbon county. who for al
most half century has resided on the
same farm, is dead of old age The
deceased was a native of Connecticut.
born in that state 81 years ago. In
the latter part of the SOS he came to
Kansas. He was in the famous fight
with Gen. Prices regiment When
he was member of the board of coun-
ty commissioers he succeeded in de-
feating the old Humboldt railroad
bonds, amounting to 100000. The
bonds had been voted, printed and
signed, to be delivered when certain
amount of work had been done. A de-
mand was made upon him before the
work was completed for the bonds, and
while the other two members of the
board voted to deliver the bonds, Mr.
Chapman steadfastly refused to do so
and they were never delivered. AS is
known by everybody, the road was not
built. Mr. Chapman felt at that time
that it was an effort to steal the $780,
900, which would have been a burden
to the taxpayers for years and years
to come had he not succeeded in de-
feating the plan.

Some Dogs Are Lucky.

A big touring car rolled up to the
entrance of a roadside "hotel'' over in
Jersey one day lately with two men
en- the front seat and two women and
a beautiful cocker spaniel in the ton
neau. One of the men ordered some
drinks for the party, and as they sat
refreshing themselves, relates the New
York Press, the spaniel made 1t known
that he also was thirsty. He wants
a drink cooed one of the women.
well, how about it?" remarked the
man who was driving the machine to
the German waiter. Wait a minute %
replied that functionary, and he dis
appeared behind the swinging doors
leading to the barroom. Presently he
emerged carrying a tin drink shaker
filled with water. The cocker barked
his appreciation and scrambled up on
the seat nearest to the point where
the waiter was holding the tin vessel.
When the dog had finished drinking
one OF the women opened her purse
end handed the waiter a half dollar.
He made more out of that order than
his employer had for the other drinks.
Not so bad to be a waiter sometimes.
