Defense of Canned Products.

That foods properly canned do not deteriorate with age was a statement made al dinner of oanners in Chica- go few days ago. "Suprose a custom or desired a can of corn on February 22, 1920" said one of the speakers. and was given corn canned in 1909 It would be rejected with a demand for something fresher.' and, although he 1909 article would be found as fresh as that of 1920 it would be lost. At a recent banquet in London canned fruit taken from the ruins of Pompeii was found to be fresh and fine. There should be law to compel the canning of all products in such manner that they would keep for ages"

Telegraph Letters.

A novelty in correspondence, re- gently inaugurated by the French post office department, has met with such success that it might be tried all over
 he world. This is the teegraphic 'etter. The hours between D. m. and a. m. are not busy ones for the Trench telegraphic lines. So the postal authorities decided to turn these hours to some use. Therefore, if one misses the post for provincial town in France to-day one can at the rate of 100 words for 20 cents have the letter elegraphed and delivered by the first post next morning. The scheme is very simple and is working admirably in Paris.

TeIearaphers' Cramp.

An interesting feature of telegraph CTS cramp is that certain letters are nearly always the stumbling block The most frequent are "C" and "Y"- that is, the code signals used for these letters. When a sender begins to be conscious" about so common a letter as "C," his case soon becomes a hope less one. Another form of cramp at tacks the receiver of the message. It takes the form of inability to write fast enough to take down message quickly transmitted. This is easily un- derstood when it is remembered that a receiver often has to write continuously to code dictation, so to speak, for hours at time. The strain is enor- ous and leads fairly commonly to what is practically a form of nervous break down.

TIMES ISSUES SPECIAL
By R. E. L, NEIL,

Selma, March 15.-(Speeial. Evidently the once famous Mole St. Nicholas news paper correspondent has moved his base of operations to Selma during the high waters that have been prevalent on the Alabama river. Saturday and Sunday some wild stories of happenings around this city were sent out. One was to the effect that three negroes had been washed away at Kings Bend about nine miles below Selma. If any such acci- dent happened negroes living in the bend who were in Selma Sunday afternoon knew nothing of it. nor can any con- frmation of the story be found today. Another report had it that the opera tives of the Estelle Cotton Mill at Fair land were moving out of their houses and seeking higher ground The truth is that the Estelle Cotton mill has been shut down for nearly year and there are only three families in Fairland. and the place is much higher than Selma, bluf preventing Valley creek from ever spreading in that direction. An other report had it that the Standard Oil company had abandoned their plant and that many industries had shut down The water is five or six feet away from the Standard Oil companys place and not a single industry has been compelled to close down on account of the flood
 Selmians have refused to be panic stricken by the high waters and with the exception of the Grasell Chemical company whose warehouse was reached by the waters Sunday, no monetary loss has been sustained. Yesterday Dr. A. w. Cawthon rendered the city the use of all the vacant houses of the Cawthon and Estelle Cotton mills for those who would have to move out of their homes in the eastern portion of the city, but with the cheering news that came this morning 1t will hardly be necessary for many people to move.
 The Selma Times issued a Monday edi- ton this morning telling the people that the danger of a repetition of the flood

It now seems that there Was no man washed over the big dam at Tsllassee. nor any wrecking of the wagon bridge a few miles above the city, as .authentically' reported.

It is not fact that two men were drowned on the Scott place near the city. though there was A story to that effect that seemed to have all the earmarlxs of truth. Reports of animals being left to starve on hlsh ground are not worth the breath they took to relate them.
 The Tallassee report was the most exciting. It has varied features One was that two men were seen frantically way ing their arms for aid as they swept to death over the artificial Niagara, ana another that there was lone occupant of the boat who went to his doom asleep and possibly drunk. James Cox ana J.. w. Dobbs, who came here Monday say there was no man lost nor boat, and that the only thing that could have started such a report was the fact that ten days ago, before the water got hlgn, mart of an old bateau floated from It's mud bank home after long abandon ment, and was sent over the dam
