Of the Arctic and Antarctic ocean a
gigantic effort will be made to devise
some means of conducting the polar

polar seas is OF as much moment as the

Nile Assuming that Mars is inhabited
by beings as intelligent as ourselves.

 Florence.

Trouble to Secure Jury in Court aA
 Florence.
 Florence, March 27-(Special. )--In the Criminal Court today the entire day was occupied in securing jury for the Shelton murder trial and from the number of peremptory challenges exercised by both the State and the defense 1t Is evident that the case will be stubbornly contested.
 Hon Paul Hodges is acting as special solicitor, and he is assisted by Judge E. B. Almon of Tuscumbia, who pre- sided as judge of the first two trials Hon. George P. Jones will conduct the defense unaided.
 Shelton is fortified for his ordeal by the presence of his sweetheart, young woman whose acquaintance he has made since his incarceration.
 Jesse Williams, the young white man who shot and killed a negro boy. Lossie Woods, on March 16 was given his preliminary hearing this afternoon before Justices J. D. Weeden and c. W. Lenmy. The States witnesses, several negro boys who were eye wit nesses to the shooting. told a straight story which was not shaken upon cross examination. They testified that Woods had passed the defendant. who was standing on the side of the road. He was accosted by Williams and lock- ed back, still walking forward. when the fatal shot was fired.
 williams was put on the stand and swore that the negro was threaten ing him with brick and the -hot was fired in self defense. After hearins his testimony the court remanded Will Hams to jail without bond.
