 Selma, Nov. g.
 After a session of about two hours this morning the United States Court adjourned 1unti, Monday morning st 10 o'clock. The session of the court was busy one. and three cases were clear ed from the docket.
 When the court eonvenes Monday morning the regular docket will be taken uD again and 1t is likely that the term of court will adjourn before the end of the week. There are not many Cases left on the docket of the court and 1t is thought that several of these will be postponed until a future session of the court.
 Two or three cases were continued this morning until the next term of the court The cases tried today were whiskey cases. One of them was against negro, Bob Johnson. from Old Town, Dallas County. The ease against him was dismissed by the jury for lack of evidence.
 A second case for violating the whis- key law was against a negro named Presley from Wilcox County. The negro is a cripple. both of his legs hav- ing been cut on. He was dismissed without being present ih court. The negro has been confined to the county jail for some weeks and as 1t was not thought that his case would be called this morning he was not brought to tn . court. But after the session of the court began the case against the negro was called and disposed of before he was broueht into court
 A third case for violating the whis- key law was also against a negro. For the lack of evidence this case was also dismissed. @

MIR. WHITE DETERMINED.
Perry Representative Will Not Attend
 Legfalature Session.


 Marion, Nov. 9-(SpeciaI. )-Repre- sentative George F. White still holds to his determination not to attend the present session of the Legislature.
 T think" remarked MT. White, 'inas much as the farmers cannot sell their cotton, and many will not be able to pay taxes when they fall due January 1, that the State ought not to require them to pay interest on taxes. This would be only just and equitable re- lief"
 MT. White expresses his belief that the Legislature will enact State prohi- bition. He does not favor a constitu- ticnal measure and does net believe the people would support 1t when a cam vass is made and 1t might react against statutory prohibition.
 Cotton receipts will not average fif- teen bales day. Business is at a standstiIl though there does Qot seem to exist the slightest oppression.
 Farmers say there are not being crowded by their creditors. and the creditors say they know the cotton is in the hands of the planters and are awaiting a time of patience for money matters to ease up.

BROWNSVILLE INVESTIGATION
Senate Committee Continues Hearing
Of Witnesses.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The hearing
on the Brownsville affair, In which
negro members of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry were alleged to have 'shot up"
the town, was resumed before the sem
ate committee on military affairs dur
ing the day. A large map Of the Fort
Brown barracks and of the town had
been placed upon ts<s w~iis "a -taAe
committee room during the night and
was carefully studied by the senators
before the business OF the day began.
The session began with former Ser
geant Harris of Company d still on
the stand and under sharp fire of
cross-questioning by Senator Warner.
The witness believed the firing on
the night of the Brownsville affray
had come principally from Winches-
tiers and six-shooters, because, he said,
he was familiar with the sounds of
various makes of weapons and that
he heard no firing from Springfields,
with which the Twenty-fifth was
equipped.

FIERCE SNOW STORM RAGING
ALL ALONG THE NORTH At
LANTIc COAST.
TRAFFIC is GENERALLY interrupted
DRIFTS SIX FEET HIGH COVER
CAR TRACKS ON STREETS
OF NEW YORK.

New York, Feb. 6.-For more than
twenty-four hours New York has been
fast In the grip Of fierce northeast
lnow storm Ten inches OF snow fell
in the twenty-four hours ending at s
a. m, equalling the snowfall within
my similar period for several years.
In Broadway and all the avenues and
cross streets containing surface car
lines the snow was piled six feet high
between the car tracks and the side
walks, but by hard work with snow
plows and shovels most of the surface
lines were kept In operation, though
at snail's pace.
Through trains and suburban locals
On nearly all the railroads running
into New York suffered severely from
the snow. Although schedules were
badly disarranged the trains were
forced through the drifts, arriving at
their terminals in New York and Jer-
sey City from fifteen minutes to an
hour or more behind their schedule.
The snow was driven by strong
wind, which in the suburban districts
piled the snow onto the tracks into
big drifts, delaying trains until the
snowplows arrived.
Traffic in the harbor moved very
slowly.
Laborers clearing the snow from the
sidewalk on Fifth avenue between
Seventy-fifth and Seventy-sixth streets
uncovered the body OF young man
who apparently had committed sui
eide during the storm. There was a
bullet wound in the temple and by
the mans side was revolver with
one chamber empty.
