 Selma Feb, 16.

Selma, Feb. l6.
 With the naming of the date for the holding of the city primaries yes terday afternoon by the DemocFsl slio s City Executive Committee, interest mas been renewed in the approaching cleo tior This interest resulted in quite numher of announcements being made last night.
 The struggle in the city primary now saenos aa if if will be centered around a -paying and thankless of1ee' tnat of President of the City Council. But while the oflce Is non-payins one 1t is considered stepping-stone to tne office of Mayor of the city. There gre now three candidates in the race TOT this office and each one has a strong following. .Ao
 Two of the announcements for the office of President of the Council were made last sight. John w. Marsnall a member of the Council from the Tnlrd Ward. announced for this place sew eral weeks ago and for while IL was thought that he would have no oppo- sition. but this developed ourlns tns mast week. w L. Quinn, a memDeI of the Council from the Fifth ward last night announced for this position and the friends of Louis Benish,a mem- her of the Council frem the second Ward have announced his eandldacy for the place. ,.
 Each one of the three candidates Tor the position of President of the Councii will make that body good presiding or fcers. Each one of them has a large number of friends and the struggle TOT the position will be an interesting one to the voters of the city who are oacA- ing their favorites fin the race.

 Hsmtsviiie. Feb. 1s. (Special)--A large numbers of planters and cattle men who desire to have the govern ments work of tick eradication resum- cd in this county has started move ment to have the Democratic Execu- tive Committee of Madison county ar range for stock law election to be held when the primary Is held in May so that precincts that have no stock laws can vote on the proposi- ton. yes or no.
 The tick work was begun here last year and after fair progress had been made 1t was stopped by the state law which requires that a greater portion of the area of counties be under a stock law in order to have the work continued. If the work is resumed, the federal quarantine line will be low- cred to the Tennessee river and thou sands of dollars will be saved to the stockmen of this county. The line is now only eighteen miles north of here, yet 1t keeps Madison county beef at least two cents pound lower than 1t would be worth in the markeW were it not for the quarantine restrictions.

A LONG DRINK.
The Way Fast Running Locomotive
Scoops Up Water.

SSSSFo- W f9aSi
Some of the great transcontinental
engines take on 5000 gallons, or 245
barrels, of water to be turned into
steam for the next run Of two. hours, or
about sixty miles. But such q vast
amount Of water is burden, and new
supplies are desired oftener: 1t is a
loss Of time to stop and let such vast
quantities come aboard through pipe;
hence some way of taking water while
rushing at full speed is desirable. 1t
has been found. How?
IF you make scoop Of your hand
and swing it swiftly, the hollow side
forward, into water some of it will
be likely to squirt up your sleeve. That
is natures hint. Follow it Up. Find a
level place in the road and put down
an iron trough four inches deep, four
teen inches wide and one-eighth of a
mile long. The engine comes rushing
along and, having passed the end, drops
a. scoop into this trough. There is a
general splutter Of water, but tre-
mendous stream rushes up the sleeve
Of the dropped hand and pours into the
water tank. When it is full the fire.
man raises the scoop or it glides up
the slope at the far end Of the trough,
and the engine IS watered for the next

"Not many people know how to pet

York cab or delivery wagon, rub his
eyelids. Next to that form of cndear-

regarding the walters, the music, the
ventilation and a hundred and one
other things q casual visitor would
fail to appreciate.
For instance, at one restaurant only
single portions are served for one per-
son. 1t another, where the cooking Is
equally good, half portions, nearly or
quite as large as the single portions OF
other places, are served for one per-
son. There was j little dispute at
we'll known hotel over a mistake in an
order Of trout and chicken that made
q difference Of several dollars on
check for q rather simple dinner for
two. It was settled ''out Of court" as
it were, and quite aGreeably, but hotel
managers regret and try to avoid these
mistakes, especially when the customer
is q regular visitor, for they know he
never forgets the details Of his eating
and is SLOW to forgive an error.
Another peculiarly Of diners is as to
the location of tables. Some persons
cling 10 one table and feel aggrieyed
when they find anotler in their favor-
ite seat. Restaurant proprietors have
tried to understand this peculiarly OF
their patrons, but have to admit they
fail to explain it-st. Louis Republic.

a Iardx Act of Justice.

Marriages between English actresses
and men Of a high social position be-
gan in the eighteenth century, If no
earlier. There was Lavinia Fenton,
the Polly Peachum Of Gays "Beggars
OPERA" who became Duchess of Boil
ton; there was Miss Farren, who mar
ried Lord Derby; also Miss Brunton
became Lady Craven not long before
Lord Thurlow married Miss Bolton.
Earliest Of the list, though. comes the
Earl of Peterborough, who married
Anastasia Robinson, the singer, and
kept the marriage secret until few
days before his death in St James
palace when he assembled his relatives
and friends and publicly acknowledged
the woman Ito whom he owed the
best and happiest hours Of his life"

ARCTIC TEMPERATURES.
Zero Weather Is Regarded as Mild and
Agreeable


According to eminent arctic explor-
ers, physical sensations are relative,
and the mere enumeration Of so many
degrees Of heat or cold gives no idea
of their effect upon the system.
One explorer states that he should
have. frozen at home in England in a
temperature that he found very COM
Portable indeed in Lapland, with his
solid diet Of meat and butter and his
garments Of reindeer.
The following is a correct scale of
the physical effects Of cold, calculated
for the latitude Of 65 to 70 degrees
north:
Fifteen degrees above Zero--unpleaS-
antly warm.
Zero-mild and agreeable.
Ten degrees below zero-pleasantly
fresh and bracing.
Twenty degrees below zero-sharp.
but not severely cold. One must keep
ores fingers and toes in motion and
rub ones nose occasionally.
Thirty degrees below zero-very cold.
Particular care must be taken Of the
nose and eXtremities. Plenry Of the

Forty degrees below zero--intensely
cold. One must keep awake ut all haZ-
