 About the close of our Fair, Police Chief Walters of Selma, came to Mont gomery and held a conference with Chief Taylor, in which he was advised on the most important points of the system used by Chief Taylor in arrest as ans sstnf e rid of that large haul made by the Montgom- cry police during the Fair at Vandi- yer Park, were shown to Chief Wal that the Selma chief might know them If he ever saw them again The pre- caution came in handy, for I notice that the Selma police, last Monday. ar rested two of these same crooks and made them take the flrst train out of the Central City.

 If Selma goes through it's Fair with out an epidemic of pickpockets and rob berries. Chief Taylor should be thanked, in large measure, for it..

 "Partisan feeling runs high: Of course, Higdon and his friends are technically bolters, as they refused to abide by the decision of the party ma thers in their hats about the streets as a sign of defiance. and some of the best Democrats in the county are Higdon supporters. They have marked every Democrat who speaks for Stiles, and if Hirdon is successful, there will be a new political alignment in the coun- ty"
