PEOPLE WORRIED
 OVER EARTHQUAKE
A LARGE STRIP OF GROUND IN MARENGo IS GRADUALLY SINK INo-sUPPosED TO BE RESULT OF REGENT EARTHQUAKE.

Selma, May 24.-(Speclal.) )-It was learn- ed here today that there is much con cern among the people in the country around Myrtlewood over what is believed to be one of the results of the earth quake shock which that thriving place experienced early last Saturday morning. It will be remembered that about o clock last Saturday morning the people Of that place were awakened by the rocking of the houses in which they were sleeping and that day after they had gotten out about their various occupations they compared notes and came to the con clusion that it was a termor of the earth which had awakened them from their sleep
 The tremor was not confined to Myrtle wood alone, but it was also felt about the same time in the morning at Gates five miles this side of Myrtlewood There the shock was also distinctly felt and was thought to have lasted for about half a minute.
 Since the shock of the earth was felt at Myrtlewood last Saturday morning the people of that place had about got ten over the excitement and were set ting down to their usual peaceful and quiet life. But yesterday this quiet was broken when a well known planter of Marengo county came into Myrtlewood and made a report to the citizens which they had never dreamed of having oe- cured.
 The veracity of this gentleman IS sald to be unquestionable and what he report ed is believed by all the citizens Of Myrtlewood. When he arrived at that place yesterday afternoon he reported the fact that strip of ground about hfty feet wide and a half mile in length had sunken in at least fifteen feet since the earthquake.
 This strip of ground is about four or five miles from Myrtlewood and is on the river. It Is also on the road which leads to the ferry and has sunk in so badly that people are unable to reach the ferry on that road and it Is causing the country people great deal of incon- venience.
 The people of Myrtlewood are divided as to the cause of this depression of the strip of land. Some of them think that it was caused by the earthquake shock last Saturday morning, while others think that the sinking in of this big patch Of ground was what caused the houses to tremble at Myrtlewood. But the latter theory would appear to be wrong as the settling of this piece Of ground would hardly have caused the earth to tremble at Gates, five miles away.

 Morning-order of
 Today.
GREETINGS ARE SENT

| Greenville, s. C., May 4.-What was 1 considered a substantial victory for pr. 1 W. E. Caldwell in the heresy charged against him, even though it was by the | close margin Of one vote, was received 1 here in the morning session of the South ern Presbyterian general assembly today with a strong expression of approval l The appointment of a special committee | of five members, headed by pr. J. w. l Stagg, to consider the items in the vote of the commission to vote Ito sustain in part" is not regarded as likely to af- feet the result This committee was un-
 able today to formulate it's report. The assembly at the afternoon session directed the sending to the general as sembly of the Presbyterian church in Des Moines the following telegram: Greetings: We regret your impression that we have charged your home mis- sion board or its officers with making or authorizing financial inducements to churches to change ecclesiastical reIa- tions. We did not mean to make such charges. We had hoped impartial investl- gation might be made of statements that 1t had been done by workers in the field
 and if found true, remedy suggested"
 A majority and a minority report from
 the committee on closer relations and the
 articles of agreement were read An ef-
 fort to postpone discussion of the entire
 subject until the next general assembly
 was voted down. The majority report
 favoring the articles of agreement was
 presented by pr. A. l.. McElway, chair
 man of the special committed; the mi
 nority report was given by Dr. Eugene
 Daniel. The matter was taken up only in
 a preliminary way today, and was made
 the special order for 10 o'clock tomorrow
 morning.

Plan Will Be Contested.

New York, May 24-The World tomor- row will say that the naturalization plan for the Equitable Life Insurance society worked out by Grover Cleveland, Paul Morton and others will be contested in the courts by minority stockholders of the company The contest, the paper asserts, will be based upon the constitutional ity of section 52 of the insurance law as passed by the last state legislature. This section was passed to permit the mutual ization of the Equitable. It also provides that the majority of stockholders may amend the charter of the company the paper asserts and adds that the min orfty stockholders feel the legislature had no right to deprive minority stockhold- CTS of their vested rights.

ADAMS TO MAKE RACE.
Three Suits Filed In Piper Mine Ex
 pIoson Affair.

Centreville. May a-(Speclal. )-Many Bibb county friends of S. NJ Adams of Clanton, Ala, are gratif1ed that he has fully decided to make the race for tho office of commissioner Of agriculture of Alabama. Judge Adams was born and raised in Bibb county and perhaps no man has ever had stronger friends than he For many years he was prominent in politics In Alabama and twice repre- scented Bibb county in the state legisla- ture and was at one time probate judge of Chiffon county. He will no doubt prove a strong candidate for the position he seeks.
 Three more suits, for thirty thousand dollars each were filed in the circuit court here on yesterday by the administrator of persons who were killed in the un- fortunate mine explosion at Piper this county a few months since.
 A representative of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company is In Centreville arranging for establishing a local telephone exchange.

Tennyson's Many Loves.

From Harper's Weekly.
 m discussing little oddities and pe- culiarities in connection with the works of various writers, and more especially poets, an official of the Con- gressional library recently said:
 "I was talking with a publisher not long ago about a new edition of Ten nyson's poems which he proposes to bring out. He showed me sample of the type which he intended to have cast for the edition, and I asked: Have you given an order for an addi- tional lot of Is and v's?'
 Why, no; why should I?' he asked.
 Because you will have to have them I told him. The word Hove" occurs so many times in Tennyson's poems that the usual percentage of Is and v's is far short of the number re- quired.'
