Koch, one of the most prominent citizens of the city. and Sol Levy. young man, had both been arrested by United States author ities.

DETAILS OF DEBATE
GREAT PREPARATIONS FOR DIs-
 CUSHION AT SELMA.
Railroads VIII Grant Cheap Rates Into Selma To Hear pr. Cunningham And MP, Conner Speak
 On June IA.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau, Selma. June 1.
 All Of the arrangements which will be necessary for the joint
 debate in this city on June IA. between
 Conner and Cunningham have about been completed. The debeate will be held on the evening of that day at the Academy of Music and no admission price or reserved seats will be held for anyone and the first who goes to the theatre will get the choice seats. This morning Chairman Rountree aud Secretary Mel of the Dallas Coun- ty Democratic Executive Committee
 decided that the court room at the
 court house would not be near large
 enough to hold the crowd which would
 want to hear these two distin guished
 candidates for Governor discuss the
 questions of interest which are in-
 volved in the campaign. Under those conditions they appointed J. H. Lump
 kin and J. Hooper Adams as com mittee or two to see the management of the Academy of Music and for them to perfect and conclude all arrange ments for the debate to bs held at that place.
 From all indications it seems that the two candidates for Governor will address one of the largest audiences in
 
 portunity of facing in the entire cam paign Arrangements, It Is understood, have been completed for the running of a special train on the Myrtlewood branch of the Louisville and Nashville into Selma on that night This train will bring over to the debate large number of pr. Cunningham's friends from Marengo county. Secretary Mel Is also in receipt of letter from Mont
 gomery asking him if he thought that an extra train could be run from the Capital City on that afternoon so as
 to give a number of the citizens of that city chance to hear the debate With out having to spend the entire day In Selma.
 Secretary Mel also received let
 ter today from Chairman Richardson
 of the Southeaetern Passenger Asso- ciation In which he acknowledged the receipt of the letter asking for reduced rates over the railroad within radius of fifty miles of this city. The letter
 said that the matter had been referred to the different lines running into Sell ma and 1t is thought that rates will be granted by all of the lines.
 Those who have the matter of the debate in hand thinks that 1t will be opened and closed by MT. Conner, as In
 the last debate Dr. Cunningham opened and closed The committee extends to
 the ladies of the country surroundins
 Selma a cordial invitation to attend the
 discussion and seats will be provided
 for all of them and they will be made
 as comfortable as possible.
 Upon the stage of tho theatre besides the speakers there will be arranged
 about fifty or sixty chairs for the &C., commodation of the prominent citizens
 of Selma and from the State at large who may be here on that occasion. While no selection has yet been made 1t is very probable that both of the sneakers will be introduced to the au- dience by Hon. H. s. D. Mallory.
