Rumors md . Petition.

Rumors nnd Petition.
 There were quite a niimber of rumors afioat today on the streets in regard to the appointing of q new postmaster for the Selma office. One of these ru- mors were that Mrs. M. Nj. Force, the postmaster, had resigned, another that she had been removed and third that Judge George Fl. Craig would be ap- pointed postmaster in the p,ace of Mrs. Force. .st
 There Is not believed to be the least truth in the first two runiors. Mrs. Force this morning stated that she had not resigned but. that some months ago she had intimated that at the expfra- tioa of her present term of office she would not be a candidate for reappoint- . ment. s- ts.
 She said that she had been postmas+ ter of the office for twenty-two years. and during that time had served the people of the city to the best of her ability. Her term of office holds Tor two years longer. .:fssa
 Tn regards to the rumor that she was to be removed, Mrs. Force stated that she had heard nothing, whatever of 1t. If such instructions had been issued by the Postofiice Department she had not been notified of it.
 On the other hand It Is claimed that there is truth in the reports and that Judge Craig will be appointed post master. ea ss
 Judge Craig this morning circulated petition which was nnmerously sign ed and which asked the department to appoint him postmaster of Selma if Republican was to be chosen to fill the office. No Democratic aspirants for the postmastership of Selma circulated pe- titions today. s.., ,.,t7
 That the postofice runors caused n izens of Selma became more evident this afternoon. At 3 o'clock W. T. Att kins filled out a petition which was ad- dressed to President Roosevelt and asked him to let Mrs. Force remain in ofice until her present term expires or until she tenders her resignation.
 During the afternoon this petition was signed by several hundred citi- Zens and more will sign 1t tomorrow. The petition will be sent to the Pres ident as soon as possible.
