Selma, May 7.-(Special)-It is almost "a
certainty that John II. BanlShead of the
Sixth congressional district will become
q candidate for alternate senator under
the plan of the democratic executive COM

Will Possibly Be Considered Soon
After Rate Bill Is Disposed OF.

Washington, May Especial -Senator
Willard will try to get the canal bill be-
fore the Senate as soon as the railroad
bill is disposed of. The committee will
probably be ready to report the bill by
Friday, when William Nelson Cromwell
completes his argument. The present
form of the bill is said to be very explicit
in preventing a multiplicity of officers and
prohibiting the employment of a special
counsel for the canal or Panama railroad
affairs Such bill. IL 1t became law,
would rule against the connection of Mr..
Cromwell with canal affairs.

IS PLEASED WITH
WORK OF MEETING
Clerk GunneIs Returns from
Conference of Education
A GOOD JOKE ON FOLK
An Interesting Dispensary Case Is Be-
fore the Supreme Court From But
Ter county-New Equip
ment for Frisco.
A GOOD JOKE ON FOLK

Montgomery, May 7.-(Special.) Harry
c. Gunnells, chief clerk of the state SUI
perintendent of education, is deeply i'm
pressed with the tenor of the meeting of
educators and others. composing the con-
ference for education in the south, which
was held at Lexington, KY, last week
1t was gathered with ease that every
southern state is developing the idea of
caring for its own educational affairs,
and more is being done in the way of
self help along this line than had been
hoped by many SO soon. All the states
OF the south are waking up to the needs
of the children and are making better
provision for them in the rural districts
as we'll as the more enlightened
branches.
Mr. Gunnels tells couple of real good
stories of his trip. He was in college
with Governor Folk of Missouri. and they
were quite happy at Lexington to renew
their old acquaintance. After having seen
Mr.. Gunnels the governor was in the re-
ceiving line at one of the receptions.
Along those presented was Mrs. Gunnels,
who was being escorted at the time by
Prof. Joel c. DuBose of Birmingham. a
member of the official staff of the State
university. you are the wife of Harry
Gunnels" said the genial executive of
Missouri. II am very, very glad to meet
you" He did not catch the name of her
escort seemingly and jumped at an awk-
ward conclusion. "And this is Mr.. Gun
nells' father he said, slapping Professor
DuBose on the shoulder. 'He is just like
you" The crowd moved along and the
mistake was not discovered, and another
good joke has been credited to the desire
of man to say something nice at the
right time.
Mr.. Gunnells said that the address of
Governor Folk on the child labor and
compulsory education idea was very i'm
pressive and he was praised by many
for the way he handled the situation. He
was one of the most popular speakers
of the session. Another speech that at
tracted much attention was that of Mr.
l. w. Hill, Alabama superintendent, and
for which he received many expressions of
commentator.
The other good story is upon Mr.. Hill,
or the Lexington newspapers, it is hard to
tell which. Among the attractions was a
male quartet which sang several selec-
tions from time to time. The papers got
the idea that the big red-headed leader
was Mr. HILL as they looked very much
alike, and they had several compliment
tary notices of the good singing of "Su-
perintendent Hill of Alabama and his
male quartette."

NO BOND ELECTION
HELD IN BESSEMER
FAILURE OF MANAGERS TO AR
RIVE MAGISTRATES ITS BEING
CALLED oFF--MovING PICTURES
BEGIN SHOWING.

Bessemer, May 7--(Special)-The school
bond election had to be called off today on
account of the failure of the managers
to put in an appearance. AT O'Clock this
morning J. f. Rogers, one of the man.
ayers, and Returning Officer W. p Gum
were at the polls to do their duty but
no other officials arrived by o'clock and
the election was on.
A number of citizens who had come
to cast their ballots were compelled to go
away disappointed.
1t is understood that Mayor Sullivan
and the other managers purposely absent
ed themselves when they saw the trend
affairs were taking. 1t is practically
sure that the issue would have failed
at this time, and had it done so, it would
be two years before it could be brought
to a vote again. When the unsettled
political conditions has smoothed down.
and time has been given in which to bring
the righteousness of the cause more thor
oughly before the people, it is thought
that the issue may stand better chance
of success.
Notes and Personals.
The moving picture show which is being
given for the benefit of the Bessemer

in its commodious tent on the vacant
lot opposite the city hall tonight. The two

Interesting Case.

An interesting case to be argued before
the supreme court this week is one in
volving the question of a dispensary at
Georgiana, in Butler county. BY law dis
pensaries may be conducted in incor-
porated towns of the county, and this
town has had one Lately. however, a
dispenser has had to be put in on ac-
count of vacancy, and the probate judge
refused as the law provided, to certify
the names of three men to the board of
revenue from which he should be Sc
lected Madamus proceedings were
brought to compel him to do so, but the
case went off on demurrers before Circuit
Judge j. C. Richardson. and has come up
to the supreme court for hearing.
There has hardly been one of these dis
pensary laws that has not had to stand
the test of every fight that can be brought
on them, and they are getting into trouble
all the time. However. in many cases
they have stood the test, and even the
enemies of the plan have to admit that
they do two things, reduce the amount
of actual drinking and produce great
deal of revenue. 1t becomes every day
more certain that the dispensary will be
somewhat of an issue in the present cam
paign.

Had to Walk Many Miles.


About o'clock yesterday morning there
came walking into the union passenger
station some seven or eight erstwhile
passengers on the Southern's tram from
Birminsham Leading the van was Or.
A. l.. Andrews of this city, who Is "a
delegate to the general conference now
i'm session in Birmingham and who mad
come to Selma to fill his pulpit sunday.
Many of the passengers carried their
suit cases and satchels and they wore that
wearied look which might be expected
after a tramp of about three miles along
side a railroad track.
The necessity for the long tramp was
To avoid a wait of many hours for the
main line to be cleared of a freight wreck
that had occurred shortly before the
Messenger train from Birmingham reach
ed the scene. Fourteen cars had gone off
the track about a mile above the coal
shute and it was not the work of few
minutes to get them on again. The pas
seugers, those who had not taken n
sleeper expecting to arrive in Selma at
o'clock, decided to foot 1t into the city
rather than wait for the wreck to be
cleared.

THE DIAMOND THIEF
HAS BEEN CAPTURED
NEGRO MAN CAUGHT AT Gle
BuRNE TRYING TO SELL MRS.
TURNER'S JEWELRY.

Deputy Constable Conrad Perry has
been in communication today with
officials at Cleburne regarding a negro
captured there, suspected Of being the
one who grabbed a handbag from Mrs.
G. H. Turner of this city, containing
her diamonds, valued at several hun
dred dollars.
The negro is now awaiting the ar
rival Of Mr.. Perry, and that officer will
go to Cleburne on the first train.
The descriptions Of the jewelry tally
with those articles stolen, and with it
was recovered a pocket handkerchief
with Mrs. Turner's initials on it,
pair of eyeglasses, etc. These articles
were in the handbag stolen.
The negro offered a local jeweler at
Cleburne about S4OO worth of dia-
monds for $40, and the jeweler con-
cluded at once they were stolen, and
notified officers who made the arrest
and took charge of the jewelry.
The prisoner gives his name as Win
Hale, and says his home is at Mar
shall, Texas. He refuses to discuss
the subject as to where he got the
diamonds and other articles taken
from him
