FIVE WEEKS UNTIL
 DALLAS ELECTION Candidates for Office Keeping
 Things Warm TELEPHONES TO LOWNDES New Line to Selma Will Soon Be Com pleted, Opening Up Important
 Field-other News of
 Selma.
TELEPHONES TO L0WNDES

Selma, February 19,-(Special )-Dallas's political pot will soon be boiling in earn est It is only five weeks from today when the ballots will be cast for county off cers including members of the legislature. It is for the latter places that considerable interest is evinced. it being the intention of the voters to know beforehand what they may expect from their representa- tives It is likely that all of the candi- dates will let their positions be known before many days elapse and then the fight will be on in earnest. There are at present six candidates announced for the legislature. These are not allowing any grass to grow under their feet but are building their fences as strongly as pos sible.
 The principal political contest in the coming election, however, promises to center around the selection of county commissioner from the west district. The candidate must reside in his district but is voted for by the entire county In this particular district there are three candi- dates. the incumbent not being candi- date for reelection. One of the candi- dates comes from the northern part of the district, one from the middle and one from the southern, so 1t would seem that there will be about an even break in the distrYet itself, the successful candidate to be one who gets the most votes else where. There is more than mere pref erence for candidates appearing in the fight and those who delve in political matters are looking for deep politics be- fore the election is over.
 Small Blaze.
 Today about noon an alarm of fire called the department to the home of John I. Hawke on Church street The flames were extlnguished with not great deal of loss.
 >. New Telephone Connection.
 Selma will soon have telephone connec- ton with Pleasant Hill and from that point into Lowndes county. The new line is within four miles of the city and is expected to reach here not later than the last of this week. Selma is in close touch with all its outlying territory and with better roads and the free delivery on rural routes it would turn the tide of emigration back to the country from the city.
 Personal and General.
 Ben H. Liddon of Florida, represent ing the Indian Territory Land and Emi- grafton company, of Spira, Indian Terri tory, Is in the city with a force of men working this section for the sale of gov ernment town sites in the territory.

Farley Resigns.

Louis B. Farley, cashier of the Mer- chants and Planters-Farley National bank, voluntarily resigned today at a called session of the directors held in the office of President Hall. He will re- main a member of the directors, how ever, at the earnest solicitation of the other members of the board. No successor has been elected to his place and very likely none will be for some time.
 The directors were reluctant to accept the retirement from the position by Cashier Farley and so expressed them selves. He was urged to remain in the service, and assured of the entire and perfect confidence of his associates. When he insisted, though, on going out. the board with regret acquiesced and passed a resolution of confidence and sorrow at his determination.
 Mr. Farley is we'll known all over the state and in banking circles of the south. He was president of the Alabama Ban kers' association In 1904 and delegate at the same time to the American Ban kers' association.
 A committee of directors was appointed to draw up suitable resolutions of regret at the resignation of Mir. Farley.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
The Removal of the Obelisk From
Egypt by the Americans.


Egypt by the Americana.
"Nothing ever told to illustrate the
Friendship of Russians for Americans
will strike more responsive chord in
this country than the story Of the ac-
ton of Il russian admiral at Alexan-
ilria. in Egypt, when Lieutenant Com
Wander Gorringe, L. S. n, was about
to ship the obelisk now in Central
park, New York city to the United
States" said an old diplomatic official.
The English and French in Egypt
didn't want the western world to have
an obelisk, and court intrigue soon
persuaded the khedive to rescind his
gift. Gorrnge had only a few men
with him. but he met the vacillation of
the khedive by erecting stockade
around the monolith and raising high
above it the stars and stripes.
"Mobs of Egyptians, melted by en-
vious French or English, continued to
harass the handful of Americans. AS
the time for lowering the obelisk
drew near their patriotic feeling reach
ed climax, and Gorringe began to
fear some sort of violence which might
damage the stone and prevent its ship
ment AS we all know, 1t was placed
OH trunnionS like Il cannon, turned
over on its side and lowered to the
ground, after which it was rolled on
cannon balls to the waters edge and
showed into the hold Of the DessOug,
the bow plates of which had been re-
moved as she lay In dry dock.
I'm the harbor was Russian squad
ron. The admiral n few days before
the time set for lowering the obelisk
sent Commander Gorringe polite
note saying he was much interested in
his novel engineering feat and would
be pleased if he could be permitted to
witness it, Gorringe returned a cOur-
teous invitation to the admiral and his
staff and thought nothing more about
it, He WAS concerned rather about
what the excited Egyptian mob might
do when it came face to face with the
prospect OF losing its historical treas
ure
"At daybreak on the appointed day
boats containing 400 Russians put of
from the squadron of the white ear
and formed Il hollow square about the
obclsk. Within were the Americans
and the admiral Outside surged the
Egyptian mob, held back by the bris
Ting Russian Dayonets. When the
obelsk was ready q corner of the
square opened and the huge stone start
ed seaward Oh its journey to the Unit
ed States. Next day the Russian adj
miral sent another polite note to Com
manGcr Gorringe thanking him for his
courtesy IN permitting him to view the
lowering Of the o1elisk. which. he said,
he had very much enjoyed. New

Anstruther. rorturing himself with
vain imaglningS as To what she must
have thought Of him, nearly went mad.
He could hardly sleep. The man grew
nervous, irritable. until even the colo
mel noticed it and recommended a trip
home. As consequence Anstruther
now stood in Lady Cheynemore's draw
ing room and, Indifferent to what be-
came of him, waited to ask Honoria
DCrWCntwatcr to be his wife. After
all he had always known Honorla
Probably they would get on as well as
most married couples. And the dad
would be pleased.
There was Il sudden ripple Of talk at
his side. Here is the next. What
you have not met her yet: My dear,
she is the beauty this season. Just
wait and you will see"
Anstruther listened with his tolerant
smile. He must try to reach Honoria.
But as he stirred all at once the lights
We're lowered, and he perforce. halted
Well. he could wait until the tableau
was over. A faint curiosity. too, was
awakened by what he caught from his
neighbors. Who was this new beauty l.?
And then he started violently. From
the piano came u few bars Of prelude
oddly familiar. The curtain rose. and
the picture stood revealed. In the
quick murmur of applause Anstruthers
sharp exclamation escaped unnoticed.
There, infolded in long, ciinging dra-
peries, her lovely hair unbound, one
arm thrown negligently up behind the
small head rested his lady, huge sill
yer crescent seeming to bear her
through limitless space. Her face was
lifted. Her eyes gazed wistfully into
the distance
Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are
you roving:" sang the famous soprano,
but Anstruther hardly heard. His
breath was coming with difficulty; his
heart was pounding. 50 she had not
forgotten. Lady Moon. oh, Lady Moon!
As the curtain dropped he turned to
the man next him, whom luckily he
CHANGED to have met.
Tit is Miss Wharton, is 1t not!"
he asked, and as the other nodded
quick gratitude welled up within him.
Thank heaven, he was not too late!
Wont you take me back" he de-
manded. 1T is all right" in answer to
a Look Of surprise. We've are Old
friends | used to know her In India,
and-and there is something / ought to
tell her.

A Terrible Scene.

Strohschneider, the famous aeronaut,
astonished the natives of Stockerau,
near Vienna, by carrying q young bar
rister OH his back along tight rope
eighty meters in length fixed to the
church steeple. A few days later fam
ing posters appeared on the walls an
nouncing that Strohschneider would eff

Herr Pramper, the popular landlord Of
the White Rose.
Notwithstanding the fact that the po-
lice had forbidden the landlord, who
has a large family, from taking part in
the performance mine host entered the
inclosure at the appointed time, to the
no snail delight OF the assembled null
titude. At given signal the balloon
rose IN the air, Strohschneider and the
landlord sitting on the trapeze beneath.
Some of the spectators declare that the
latter turned as pale rs sheet during
his upward flight, though be did not
fail to wave his hat to the crowd. Aft
err reaching dizzy height the two bah
loonists were observed to quarrel and
actually came to blows. All at once the
landlord plunged headlong into space.
A shout of horror arose from the spec

expected to find Pramper lying with
broken limbs. What was their aston
ishment at discovering not n corpse,
but lay figure dressed in one of the
landlords suits The manikin was
conveyed to Stockerau in triumph.

ConkIinE and Thurman:

Senator Roscoe Conkling was once
addressing the senate in an fmpassion-
ed manner and seemed to direct his re-
marks to Senator Thurman. At length
the latter got irritated.

he roared, expect me to answer him
every time he turns to me-"
For n moment Mr.. Conkllng hesitat-

ORIGIN of Two Tavern Terms.

The term entire so often seen over
inns and tavcrns in England and not
always understood by the passersby,
Is said to have first been used about
1922. Prior TO that date the malt liq-
uors in general use were ale, beer and
"twopenny." 1t was usual for tavern
customers to call for pint OF tankard
of half and half-that is, half ale and
half beer, half ale and half twopenny,
or half beer and half twopenny. In
course Of time it became customary TO
call for tankard Of three threads"
meaning third Of ale, beer and two
penny. To save publicans the trouble
and waste Of turning three taps for
one pint of liquor Il brewer named Har-
wood conceived the idea of making q
beverage which should unite the fla
vors of all three drinks. He called his
production entire" or "entire butt
beer" AS 1t was considered suitable
for porters and other working people,
It is said to have obtained the further
name of "portcr"-London News.

lie Was Insane.

A representative from New York EN-
JOYS nothing better than to recount a
story which, he declares, he had from
an official in the pension bureau. One
day. SO the tale runs, the bureau was
in receipt of an extraordinary commu-
nication from the west. In which the
writer, among other things, made this
astounding statement;
81 am now drawing a pension OF $50
a month. Recently the Lord has pros
pered me; SO, being convinced that !
am not entitled Of right to this money,
l desire that my name be stricken off
the roll"
As soon as the bureau recovered in
Il measure from this staggering intel
ligence an investigation was set on
foot. The examiner in the field re-
ported as follows:
II have the honor to inform you that
the person who desired that the name
be stricken from the pension Toll IS
now in an insane asylum In this plaza

WANTED TO CUT
POLICE FUND
LUCAS STARTLES BOARD LAST
EVENING BY INTRODUCING MO-
TON TO CUT POLICE FUND.

The most startling thing that came
out at last evenings session of the
Board of Supervisors was the resolu-
ton introduced by Supervisor Lucas to
the effect that the Sheriff be notified
to cut down the expenses of the Police
Department to $1,000 from $500 they
are receiving at present. The motion
however was lost as it found no Sec
ond.
For some time over the resolution a
war of words waged fast and furious.
Moore took up the cudsel in defence
of the department and he welded it
to such effect that Lucas was forced to
retreat and content himself with an
amended resolution that the sheriff be
consulted and if possible have the ex-
penses cut.
This is not a political move" said
Mr.. Lucas. II really believe that we
should cut down expenses in all of the
departments for in five months we are
pau with this job, and we have to be
square with the world at that time or
be personally responsible. want it
fixed"
The supervisors were all present last
evening with the exception of Mr., Cox,

top dressing of about inches should
be put over the coral. The material
for such, and of very good quality, is
obtainable in the natural quarries
about 10th avenue.
AS this Department has not enough
funds to work on an elaborate scale
on that road, l think it would be ad-
visable if bids We're called, and have
the work outside of safeguarding, such
as hauling material, spreading and
rolling, be done by contract, with the
clause inserted that the payment for
the work performed be extended for
about months. In this way, the work
can be completed in about 2 or

cations, so as to commence work at
