An Old Negro Dead.

This morning at his humble home off Lamar street occurred the death of Uncle" Tom Chapman, an old negro widely known in Selma. He was about 95 years of age and owned from child hood by the Chapmans in Limestone county, the grandfather of the father of the late Mrs. Edward W. Pettus. It is Pettus when she was but a girl and that he went with her to Pickens county, where she married General Pettus, after wards coming to this country, to Ca haba and then to Selma. where he has lived ever since. During the war he folks" and his loyalty in those trying times has gained for him ever since the never dying affection of this people. He peddled fruit and ground peas around the city for half century and was hardly ever known to really barter any of his goods. Everybody helped himself to an apple, peach of a pear or hand full of "goobers" and Uncle Tom asked for a nickle or dime or a quarter when ever he wanted it and seldom failed to get it. His daughter, Caroline, now about sixty years old has been a maid in the Pettus family since she was born. The funeral will take place tomorrow and will be attended by number of whites, who love the old man and want to pay a mark of respect to the memory of q good negro.

Inasmuch as it seems impossible for the coun- cil to get man to hold this place any length of time, the News would suggest that that body pass an ordinance allowing the voters to fill the place at the annual mu- nucipal elections. Possibly in this way we could get a man who would stay with the job.

MT. Vivion says that with twelve hundred dollars the lane through the Newman place can be graded and covered with crushed stone so that 1t will be good for many years, and that if one half of this amount can be raised by subscription, that it is probable that the county judge will pay one half out of the funds col lected for road purposes.

RENEW PENSION BILL
FOR i. S. LIFE-SAYERS

Senator FRYE has introduced once
more the bill TO increase the efficiency
OF the life-saving service. For years
the life-saving service has been pound
ing at the gates OF the Capitol and in
sisting on having something like a
square deal from the Government. One
session after another has refused to do
anything. but this session. the advo-
Gates Of legislation are going to make
a strong effort TO get something done
and hope 20 succeed.
The conditions In the life-saving serv-
ice are serious and have been for sew
eral years. owing to the failure OF Con-
gress TO do anything to relieve the
situation. 1t has been shown that ow-
ing 10 the low pay and the lack OF any
inducements to remain in the service,
there was a continual exodus OF num-
bers of the best men. and that IL was
impossible to fiji the vacancies with
competent recruits. To overcome the
difficulty il was suggested that a re-
urement system should be provided, and
this is the feature OF the bin intro
duced by Senator Frye. II allows mem
bers OF the service. after thirty years
TO retire on three-fnurths pay.
One OF the difflcIlties that has al
ways stood In the way of doing any
thing 20 better conditions ia the life
saving service is the prejudice Of Con-
gress against the beginning Of a civil
pension list.
