Selma May 18.-(Special 1.-The count ing of the state ticket is occupying un- usually long time in Dallas. At midnight there are still number of ballots to be called off in the various city wards. In the third ward the inspectors got tired of their job and adjourned until tomorrow. In the fifth ward the count was complete and resulted in Bryan receiving 91 and Johnson 42 and the accredited Bryan delegates receiving a shade less. In the second ward Bryan received 199 and Johnson 115.
 The votes from the country beats heard from give Bryan a large majority Old Town precinct cast 62 solid votes for Bryan. It is a conservative estimate to place Bryans vote at two to one in Dal- las and his delegates only few votes behind. Heflin will probably lead the vote in Dallas with Tomlinson second.
 For elector ONeal will lead with PuSh a close second and Rountree hundreds be- hind.
 There seems to have been a concerted Simpson and Mayfield vote cast through out te county and city, although Judges Aston and Chiffon appear to have re- ceived a fair vote. Lusk will get less than 300. He received 31 votes in the sec ond ward, which polled S14 votes. In cer- tain country precincts where appointees of the administration formerly lived solid votes were cast for Lusk. In the second ward Mayfield received 221 votes and Simpson PA. Aston received fl, Bilbro 15 and Chiffon S6.

Eufaula, May 1S.-(Special.)-The much discussed matter of a proposed electric railway to traverse a section between this city, nd Opelika is fast assuming propor- tions that are deeply gratifying to the cit izens. Judson c. Chapman, vice president of the company, spent Saturday in the city, when he was busily engaged inter viewing the business men and looking over the proposed survey in the city. He did not hesitate to make known his plans and further assured the citizens that the line would be built and that at no distant day. He stated that an engineer would reach the city perhaps next week and that rails would arrive within about ten days to begin the actual work of construction from this end of the line. At the same time he said work would begin in Opelika coming this way. Mir Chapman said he thought the line would be in operation by January next While the citizens have not been asked to contribute anything yet, it is known that the stock will be for sale when it will no doubt be expected that they will purchase largely of it. It is known that MT. Chapman is backed by a good strong company and he stated that he had met with 1attering encouragement all along the lire. He was very emphatic ill his assurance that the line would most surely be built.
 The city is fast filling with visitors from all sections of the surrounding country, who will be in attendance upon the Chau- tauqua exercises. A number of brilliant social functions are on the boards for the week, among which will be a grand ger nan, rendered by the young men Tues uay evening.
