REACHESAGREEMENT'
ABOUT LIGHTS FOR CITIZENS OF
 SELMA.
The Agreement fs only Tentstive But Wfn Probably Re Confirmed By City Council Monday
 --Nesvr of Selma.

Selma. Sept. 12-(Specia)--Tent tive agreement which has been reach ed between the committee from the Commercial and Industrial Association and the Selma Lighting Company and which was arrived at Friday night, was learned this afternoon.
 The agreement will probably be con firrned by the. City Council at the meeting of that body which will be held Monday night. The committee from the Commercial and Industrial Association composed of F. F. Ullman and J. B. Ellis ana c. A. Patterson, Chairman of the Council Committee. have been working with the Selma Lighting Company for several months past to get cheaper rates for consum- CTS of electricity. The committee has had many conferences with the man agement of the Selma Lighting Com pany and propositions and counter propositions have been made and sent to the home office of the company at Philadelphia but no agreement was reached until at the meeting which was held Friday night
 The rates which were agreed upon by the conference will mean a saving of about thirty per cent to probably eighty-five per cent of the consumers in the city. If the sch edule is accept ed by the City Council the rates and charges will be based upon the length of time which the lights are burned and not upon the consumption of the electricity. The committee are of the opinion that the concession which has been made by the Lighting Company. Is big one and that they have won great victory for the consumers of electricity in the city.
 Eugene Robins, Jr., of the Commit tee of the Commercial and Industrial Association which for the past week has been conferring with vice president J. ". Dewberry of the Birmingham and Gulf Railway and Navigation Com pany late this afternoon received a telegram from MT. Dewberry stating he would be with the people of Selma Monday. It Is supposed that MT. Dew berry Is coming to Selma for the pur- pose of going before the meeting of the City Council on that night with the committee of the Commercial and In- dustrial Association and the committee from the Selma Wholesale Grocer As- sociation and the council meeting will personally explain the proposition which he made to the meeting of the Commercial and Industrial Association last Thursday night to build a ware house depot and wharf upon the city lot on Franklin and Bow Streets, if the franchise or lease Is granted per- petual, or for a great number of years. It is believed by the business inter- ests of the city that Mir. Dewberry's proposition will be accepted by the city council

GIVES UP LIGHT PLANT.
Chicago Will Go Out of Electric
Illumination Business.

Chicago, May 21.-The city of Chi
cago is going out of the electric light
ing business. City Electrician Carroll
is now engaged in winding up the en-
terprise and within a month the
municipality will have retired as a
producer of electricity. The retirement
probably will be permanent.
In the future the city will purchase
ell the current required for the NUM-
cipal electric lighting system from the
sanitary district.
The city's steam plants are being
turned into distributing stations for
the drainage canal current, which the
council has contracted to purchase at
SIS horsepower. In this way the city
will be enabled to light the streets at
a great reduction from the cost in the
past.
At present 5,203 city lights are being
operated with canal current, leaving
3171 operated from the city plants,
which will be transformed into distrib-
uting stations in the next month. The
city also will open within few days a
Transforming station in which the ca
nal current will be distributed directly
from the canal feed wires. Several
other Transforming stations are to be
established this year and the city then
will purchase all the current possible
to use within the limitation of extern
sion imposed by the city council.

AGED SUITOR BURIED.
HUNT FOR MURDERER
Died From Blow on Head,
Decides Jury-CorpSe
Tied to Sapling.

DOVER, Del. July 1.-THE body Of
aged suitor William Williams. the sixty
four-year-oid farmer OF Marydel, who
was lynched by outraged neighbors, be-
cause he intended to marry thirteen
year-old Elizabeth Walls. was buried
today IN Camden, near here. a great
crowd Of morbidly curious persons fol-
lowed the remains to the Odd Fellows
cemetery
Following an investigation by the
coroner's jury a verdict was returned
that Williams was killed by a blow
on the head by some person unknown.
The dead mans three sons and two
daughters were not present at the in
quest
The authorities of Queen Anne county,
Md, as well as those of Delaware have
Started a searching investigation to dis
cover by whose hands williams died.
II had 0een practically established that
the aged sutton was killed elsewhere
than where the body was found
The sapling on which it hung loosely
by a slack rope was not such as
suicide would have chosen, and it is be-
lieved that the body was brought there
after death in an effort to hide the
crime.
