EmilioSPlacencia, of the Insane Hos pital at Tuscaloosa, is to all appear ances keeping up with the other in- mates of that place who have desired an early release from the institution. The authority of Mayor Teague is the official instrument which he is trying to use in the successful issuance of his plans.
 Several weeks ago Placencia passed through Montgomery, borrowed from an obiiging party sufficient money to carry him to his destination, left with his beneficiary his suit case and was for a time forgotten. A short while after this a letter in Italian was ad- dressed to the mayor. and in the com munication the city's chief executive was requested to send to the petition ger, Placencia himself, the same sult case which had been left in this city.
 After days of seach, thes possessions of the Italian were found ana for warded as desired. The mayor thought

that the Italian had taken up his resi- dence in the university town, as vol untary resident of that place, not an asylum inmate Accordingly, the inci- dent was forgotten.
 But there was a reawakening yes terday. This time the letter was in English. and to the following effect: namely, that the chief executive write to pr. Searcy, have the petitioner. Pa cencia. released from confinement and that sufficient money be forwarded him with which he could again come to Montgomery to take up a permanent residence. The, letter snlacked greatly of a favor being conferred, the donor being Pacencia, the recipient Mayor Teague.
 "Of course" said the mayor, in dis cussing the Italians letter, T like the 1910 movement and the 100000" and he shook his head
 Accordingly. he referred the letter to Hon. Gaston Gunter.

Alleging that the City Council had treated them unjustly in placing what is looked upon as a .prohibitory license on the vending of fruit from wagons. committee of fruit peddlers called upon Mayor Teague yesterday and re- quested that steps be taken to have the increased license section revoked.
 The committee made argument to the Chief Executive that the receipts from such vending were entirely too small to admit of further peddling from the wagons emphatica1ly stating that the most prosperous and successful ped- dlers of fruit were fortunate in clos ing the year with $10o above the cnr- rent expenses.
 In its session several weeks ago, at which the license schedule for the com ing fiscal year was revised, the city fathers placed a license of $100 upon all peddlers of fruit from wagons. The claAm was made that such vendors crippled to too great an extent the

Selma, Aug. 26.
 In answer to a call signed by Hon. H. s. D. Mallory and W. T. Atkins, quite a number of the Sunday School workers of Selma gathered at the Young Mems Christian Association Sunday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by President W. T. Att ktns of the Dallas County Sunday School Association, and every sunday School in the city was represented ex- cept two, which had not received mo- tice of the meeting.
 President Atkins in explaining the object of the meeting, commented upon the liberality of Dallas county at the last Sunday School convention held in Birmingham and at which $250 was subscribed by the county to support the work. He said that in addition to this amount that 1t was desired to raise between $60 and $75 to carry on the work of taking the Sunday School census of the county, during the month of October.
 TO secure a committee to take charge of a house to house canvas of the county was necessary and this amount would be used in supplying the neces- sarv stationery. Of this amount, ne stated. that the city schools would very likely raise $50 leaving the other s25 to be raised by the county scnooIs. The suggestions or Presloent AeAIns III were agreed upon. Then Rev. E. w.. Patton, president of the city district, was made permanent chairman or the meeting. Miss Esther TarelI' secre- tarvl and treasurer, and Miss Edith Rice primary and statistical secretary, of fife county association. acted as sec- retaries.
 Secretary G. Frank Warner. of the Young Mems Christian Association, or fered that building as headquarters for the different committees. This offer will be accepted and the headquarters will be established there.
 During the meeting it was decided that the executive committee should be increased to a membership or eWo from each Sunday School. The execu- tive committee to provide Tor a can vass of the county was as follows:
 First Presbyterian Church-Mrs. E.. H. Hobbs and F. P. Gary.

Postal Resumes Service.
 After silence of nearly two weeks the instruments in the local office of the Postal Telegraph Company began to click this morning. Manager ". W. Sheppard, of the Postal office in Mont gomery, came to Selma Sunday and this morning relieved Manager Peace and took charge of the office and be- gan getting through such business as he could. The messages sent by Mir. Sheppard this morning were the first that have been sent from the Selma office since the operators went out two weeks ago. During this period Man ager Peace has been clearing up the work in the office and receiving such telegrams as senders were willing to leave subject to indefinite delay.
 Although both offices of the tele- graph companies are open for business now, neither one of them are having a rush as the public appear unwilling to run the risk of having their messages delayed Before the strike each of- flee sent out and received at least a hundred messages a day, but the vol tune of business now Is not near that great. The operators out on the strike are still confident that they will win out.
