NEGRO BADLY CARVED UP

Selma, December 24-(Special )-The frequent conflict and clashing between the two Salvation Army corps. in this city kins, who had been called on to act as arbitrator, rendered his decision in favor of the Salvation Army as against the American Salvation Army. The latter or ganization has accepted the decision of the mayor and will capitulate at once.
 The American Army has been in Selma only few months and there has been not only considerable rivalry but much feeling. The older organization charged that the new corners reaped where they sowed; that contributions intended for them were paid to the new army. This, the latter denied. It was evident that there was room for only one such organi- zation and the mayor had the heads of both armies before him a few days ago when an armistice was declared and the matter left in the hands of his honor
 A Negro Carved.
 John Harris, a negro, made his way with difficulty to his home in the east ern portion of the city Tn the early morn- ing shours and managed to get medical attention. He had wound on the head from a blow with bottle and razor cuts on his head, back and arm. Harris says six negroes jumped on him and badly beat him up. It is suspected that he was in a Christmas craps game and in the row that ensued he received the injuries which on a less hardy man would have likely been fatal.
 Railroad Surveyors.
 The presence of Louisville and Nash vile surveyor corps in the section con tnues to cause all manner of specua- tion. The corps has been in the vicinity of Sardis, about nine miles from the city on the south side of the river. They have also been north of the city and the hope is so dominant here that a connect ing link will be built between the min eral fields and Selma. joining the line to Pensacola, that whenever surveying party appears rumors become rife that the road is to be built. The Louisville and Nashville is erecting a round house and small repair shop in this city. The turn table that is being put in is to be the most modern pattern. Two hundred piles are to be driven for a foundation and 10000 bricks and 200 barrels of ce- ment are to be used in its construction.

ASK FOR RECEIVER.
Affairs of the Quinn Furnace Company
 To Be Adjusted.

Gadsden, December 2.-(Special.)-At a meeting of the creditors of the Quinn Furnace company, held in this city yes- terday. it was decided that it would be best to place the affairs of the company in the hands of a receiver in order that a settlement might be effected and the creditors paid.
 It has been apparent for some time that the company was laboring under difficulties in trying to finance the oper- ation of the plant and the creditors have finally gotten together for united action and no doubt a receivership will be asked for without delay. The plant is owned by parties in St. Louis.
 It is probable that the creditors will ask the federal court to appoint Guy R. Johnson as receiver for the company. He in turn will instruct Superintendent Mar shal to put the plant in operation and work up the material which is now on hand.
