SUMNER CONCERTS
MIR. DEAL TRYING TO ARRANGE
FOR SERIES OF BAND
CONCERTS.
Would Give Two n Week I'm Business
Part Of the City During the
Summer Months. f.,s

Mr.. VIM. Deal is circulating a pc
titlon among the business men to
raise a fund for a series of band con-
ctrts to be held down in the business
part OF the city during the summer
months, beginning the first OF June,
and is getting many slgners.
Mr.. Deal proposes to give two
concerts a week, and his efforts
should meet with success. The peo-
pie now days need diversions and a
series of band concerts would prove
about as popular as any thing that
could be suggested. especially with
those people who have not the time
nor the money to spend to go to the
park and summer theater.

THE CARPENTERS STRIKE.
Remains In Conditions Which Have
Existed for several Days.

From indications the striking un-
ion carpenters have won their battle
against the bosses for an increased
scale of wages. and while several
principal bosses are still holding out,
the strikers are sanguine and the lat
ter will come around within a few
days.
Some of the biggest contractors in
the city held out against the strik-
ers. Several smaller fry" signed up
as soon as the wage scale was pre-
sented. This gave the strikers en-
couragement and they refused to
compromise in anyway. Monday the
bosses met and delivered an ultima
tum effective Wednesday saying that
open shops would be run in event
the strikers did not come to terms.
No reply was made. as far as is
known, and two of tho biggest con-
tractors the next day signed. This
practically broke the lockout and the
strikers expect to have the signature
of all bosses before the week is out.
Those contractors who are suppos-
ed to be running open shops are not
working any men today, 1t is said.
They are Davis & Dunlap. Rouse,
Karnes. Byrd. Ross, Gardner and
Coleman.

The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce's, medicines greatly enhances the medi- cnal properties which it extracts and holds fin solution much better than alco- hol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being a valuable 1emulcent, nutritive antiseptic and anti ferment. It adds greatly. to the efficacy of the Black Cherrybar Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queens root, con tained in rGolden Medical Discovery in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recom- mended by standard medical authorities. In all cases where there is wasting away of flesh, loss of appetite, With weak stomach, as in the early stages or consumption, there can be no doubt that glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Queens root and Black Cherrybark in promoting digestion and building up the flesh and strength, controlling the cough and bringing about healthy condihon of the whole system. Of course, It must not be expected to work miracles. It VIII not cure consumption except in its earlier stages. It will cure very severe, obstln- ate. chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn- zeal troubles ard chronic sore throat with hoarseness. In acute coughs It IS not so effective.

 Strike-breakers Leave.
 Two imported machnists, sent here to work in the Southern railways shops in place of the strikers, left the city at noon today.

 Preparing for the Fair.
 Selma expects to have the biggest fair in it's history beginning with next Tues day. The grounds are in excellent con diton, and everything will be in read- ness.

The Parker Amusement company, now furnishing the shows for the pike in Montgomery, will furnish the shows for the Selma midway, and this itself will be quite an attraction.

Slater of the Selma freight bureau has been notified that the railroad commission of Alabama has set November for hearing on a matter of rates which the railroads have not put into effect, as ordered by the commits sion. AIr. Slater will go before the commission and present the matter in be- half of Selma.
