It seems, however, that they would have us so regarded in order to accomplish their purpose to frustrate the court that is now trying the issues involved in the litigation ov- CT the rates.

Ever since the strike began. business has been very quiet in telegraph cir cles in Selma. The operators who went out on the strike have either left Selma or are working for the rail roads.
 The operators here are confident that they will win out, and that in very while the strike will be declared ofr.
 The Postal office has not received or accepted a message during the past ten received by that office through the mails, but otherwise there has been nothing doing" .
 The business of the Western Union here Is being handled by Manager Hull, who Is working long hours. But while Ghat office Is handling all the business it can, telegraphing out of Selma Is not near as great as 1t was before the strike was declared.

to regard us as criminals, and these stirrers of strife, will find that their attitude will be strongly resented by all self-respecting railroad men and their friends as we'll as by all other thoughtful people.
 Tt will be a great outrage if we are set upon and arrested like felons and thugs Imprisoned in filthy jails. hum Hated and treated as criminals. while we are peacefully pursuing our daily vacations, as the United States Court says we have the right to do. in order that the Company may be forced into following the example of somo of the other roads.
 While we are not lawyers and cam not pass upon and decide the knotty questions of law involved in this mat ter. about which so many lawyers seem to differ. at the same time we are not criminals. nor do I think we are worse than the average working man in other walks of life; and these enemies of the peace of the State, win find to their chagrin. that the working man appre- ciates the attitude they would put him in and resents it with all his might"

ton on his place on the outskirts of the city. and says he expects to raise at least twenty bales, and possibly twenty-five from it. The cotton. he says. was planted April 26.
 These two bales of cotton, the first of the present year, are later than the first bales in number of years. and are indicative of the general lateness of the crop. 1t is believed however, there will be considerable cotton pick ing by the 1st of September.
 The statement was made, in connec- tion with the sale of the bale of cot ton from the plantation of Mir. Fain, that T. R. Cain is manager of the Southern Cotton oil Company. The statement should have been that the Alabama Cotton oil Company, of which MT. Cain is assistant secretary and assistant treasurer, had ginned the bale.
