For some time there has been a re- port that Dallas County had withdrawn it's support from the Society of United Charities. This is one of the oldest and best known charity organizations in the county, and during the life of the society 1t has been doing a great and noble work among the poor and needy Of the city and county.
 Tn an Interview today. Probate Judge P. H. Pitts said that the county had not withdrawn it's support from the or ganization; the impression had gone abroad that the county withdrew its appropriation on account of a misun- derstanding with the management of the society, but that this impression was an error and does an injustice both to the society of United Charities and to the County Court of Revenues.
 He said that every cent which the county appropriated to the society was accounted to the county by the society and that the money was used in the most conservative and economical way possible.

Advertiser Bureau. Selma. Jan. i4. Mrs E. A. BuhIer a wefl-known wo- man of Selma, was seriously and prob ably fatally injured by a runaway
 horse on Alabama Street near Wash ington. about g o'clock this morning. Her skull was fractured on the left side and on account of her age there are grave doubts if she will recover from the injuries.
 As was her custom. Mrs. Buhler came down town this morning to do her daily marketing and was passing up the south side of Alabama Street In front of hardware store at the cor ner of Washington Street, when pair of horses came running down the side walk. Mrs. Buhler is quite deaf and before she heard or saw the runaway animals. she was knocked down. She was thrown against one of the iron posts on the outer edge of the side walk and the blow fractured her skull She sustained other injuries.
 The injured woman was picked up and surgeon was quickly summoned. Later she was taken to her home on Washington Street. where surgeons made a second examination.
 The pair of horses which knocked down and injr~od Mrs. Buhler were being hitched to a buggy in Meyers livery stable th.s morning when they bolted They ran out of side door on the Franklin Street side of the sta ble and turned south to Alabama Street. where they took the sidewalk on the south side and ran up Alabama Street across Washington on to Broad.
 Besides injuring Mrs. Buhler. they knocked show case from a street stand, and in their mad run. several other persons narrowly escaped being injured. A small boy. who was a few steps behind Mrs. Buhler, when she was knocked down, was struck by the horses and knocked to the sidewalk, but he did not sustain any injuries and got up crying and ran home.
 The horses were stopped when they reached Broad Street.
