Tuscumbia. Jan. 2s.-tspeciai. )--In- terest in the case of Charles Smith ip progress at Columbus, Miss, the living principal in the tragedy at Artesia. Miss, in which E. A. Laurent. sof Wash : valie. was shot and killed, is probably as comparatively intense in ruscum- : bia and the eastern portion of Colbert County, as at Columbus where the triai is being held.
 There are three reasons for this in- terest. First, the man who fired the fatal shots is son of . former resi- dent of Colbert County, John smith, who resided for many years near Leighton. ten miles east of Tuscumbia, and who is related to the Kings. Bands and Delonys, the best and most prom inent and influential people or this section.
 John D. Delony. President of the Tuscumbia Bank and Trust Company, Is a nrst cousin of Smith. the lstter's father and the formers mother being brother and sister. The second reason is that Miss Leta King. has been brought into prominence in the case. Miss King is also closely connected with the same well known families. She is the only daughter of W. O.

 Miss King spent several months In ruscumbia two years ago, when she came with her mother to this city tn place the latter under the care of a Xspecialist. She remained constantly with her mother, for whom she showed the strongest love and devotion. The latter recently died.
 While in Tuscumbia. Miss King was the recipient of much social attention, and moved In the best circles.

She Is a granddaughter oi Joel Carter. one of the weaithtest citi- zens and business men of Nashville The Mrs. Steenson alluded to in the trial of Smith at Columbus. is said to be a first cousin of Miss Kings father, W. c.

SELMA IS HEALTHY
REGISTER OF VITAL STATISTICS
 MAKES REPORT.
fne R<uort of Dr. Skinner fer the Year 1908 shows Thst Just
 Ferty-ciGhf Waite
 Deaths Occurred.

se,na Ian. 2s.--(Special.) )--The an- nual report of pr. I. C. Skinner, reg lstrar of vital statistics for Selma. which has just been compiled for the year of 1908 and which was made pub lie today. shows that Selma Is most healthy place and 1t Is also doubtful if nny other city in the South, the same size can make as good a. showing as this city did during the past year.
 while the report of the health of shs city for the past year Is considered exceptionally good by the physicians who practice here, it is considered but q little better than what similar re- ports during past years have been.
 Every physician Of the city is proud of the report and 1t is understood that ehe attention of the Commercial and industrial Association will be called 10 1t ct the meeting of that organization next Tuesday night by some one of the Dhysicians. This may result in the Commercial and Industrial Association advertising 1t and calling attention or Inc pubiic to the heaithful conditions and low rate of mortality here.
 The report of pr. Skinner for the wear 1908. shows that just forty-eignt white deaths occurred in Selma during that year. Figuring on basis of white population of 5000 the ratio is sU0. ana WutCi lb ~ While forty-eight white deaths are credited to have occurred here during the past year, this number could be re- uucod still lower as far as deaths of actual residents of Selma, to about forty-two or forty-four. Several of the white deaths which are accounted for fin the report of pr. Skinner, were not residents of Selma but were brought here from the surrounding country for medical treatment and their deaths oc- cured in some of the local infirm- aries.
 The mortality rate among the ne- groes of the city are considered almost as good as that of the white popula- eion. The hygienic condition in those parts of the city where the negroes live, Is not as good as it should be but sven under these unfavorable condi- Hons. the death rate among the negro population is not considered large. pr. EkinaeFs report shows that during the kear 1908 there occurred in Selma 124 begro deaths. The negro population of belna Is figured at about 10000 and shis gives a death per centage among bhem of .0124. Figuring Selma with . Population of 1S,000 and with the com bined death of both whites and me- Sroes. only 172 for the past year, the patio per thousand is 1909.
 Another strange feature about the report compiled by Dr. Skinner for the past year is the number of births Ir Selma The total number of bIrthl Turing the year is exactly the same al Shere were deaths. 172.. But in tht humber of births, the whites lead ths hegroes. there being born during tht kear 1908, ninety white children an( hghty-two negroes
