 MT J. B. Fort, of Blalock passed through Selma yesterday on his way to Montgomery to attend the Safe and Sane convention bearing a petition signed by pricipally eve ry voter In three precincts MT. Fort gave The Selma Times copy of the petition and the idgnatures.

 In Bells precinct two out of three voters signed the document
 The names of these voters. together with their occupation, may be found in this office,
 This indicates slightly how the straws are pointing. Reports from other parts of the county are to the effect that the amend ment will be badly defeated in old Dallas

The statement sent out from Berlin that dogs and horses are largely be- ing slaughtered for food in the Ger man Empire. and that under govern ment inspection and supervision, has rather @ queer sound. to those who are accustomed to look on the Ger mans as a thoroughly self-supporting people, as well as provident people. The report doesn't seem to fit the Teutons.

Polar Proof,

bNVdHUHW 1NBWs-
 It Is worthy of notice that 1t Is be- ginning to be said that Peary hasn't as much evidence as Cook has that he reached the pole-that Cook had two Eskimos with him when he reached the end of his journey. while Peary had only one. It has been pointed out that Eskimos' testimony Isn't worth much, but If 1t Is worth anything al all, that of two Eskimos Is worth more than that of one. As a matter of fact as to whether either reached the pole depends upon the word of each, since the Eskimos with them didn't know when the pole was reache6 at all eX- cept as they were told. They are not scientists and hadn't the means of de- termining their position. Therefore, the outcome of this Cook-Peary con troversy depends largely upon the word of each of the explorers, unless Peary has proofs of which the world knows as yet nothing that Cooks state ment Is untrue

 Mobile, Ala. Sept. 14. 1909. Editor The Advertiser:
 The "old reliable" Advertiser always advocates Democratic principles and institutions and I am glad to see 1t opposing the prohibition, con- stitutional amendment.
 I am 6 lifelong prohibitionist, and for nineteen years I have not touched an intoxicant of any kind, but I am strongly opposed to this iniquitous and unnec essary amendment, and hope to see the people of Alabama rise in their might and majesty and overwhelming ly defeat it. It is in contradiction to the fundamental principles of Democ- racy and is a very expensive political experiment for the f-aggrandize- ment of a few politicians.

OFFICERS
Commercial Club Has Annual
Election of Officers
Quarles Retires

The annual election of officers Of
the Commercial Club of Roundup
was held at the regular meeting of
that body held Tuesday evening
that being the first meeting Of the
year. President Quarles was nom
mated for reelection as it is general
y conceded that he has been of in
estimable value to the club in get
ting ii over the shoals which new
organization of this kind has to
contend with, but declined to ac-
cept the honor for another year.
basing his resignation Oh the ground
that a change in the head Of the
club would be for its betterment.
In retiring from the presidency Mr..
Quarles reviewed the good work the
club has accomplished in its short
existence, showed where, with the
same hearty cooperation which has
marked its course in the past, many
more needed improvements can be
brought about, and thanked the
members in a happy strain for the
cordial treatment accorded h i m
during his term of office. Mr.. .Quares'
administration of the affairs of the
club have been universally salts
factory, and it goes without saying
that the business men appreciate at
its true worth his labors in behalf
OF the welfare of the city.
+. a. Appleman was unanimous
~ elected to fill the chair the en-
suing year. In accepting the pre-
sidency the newly elected incumbent
paid il fine tribute to the retiring
chairman and complimented him
highly upon the manner in which
he has conducted the affairs of his
office. He outlined the policy of the
club for the coming year and pro-
missed to do all within his power to
further the interests of Roundup.
l.. Il. Carroll succeeded himself
as secretary by the unanimous vote
OF the club. Mr.. Carroll has held
this office since the inception of the
club, and his performance of the
duties of that office which are some
what arduous and rainstaking, have
been so satisfactory that the club
would not stand for his refusing to
accept the same position for another
year. A good deal of the credit for
the work accomplished by the club
is due Mr.. Carroll.
c. r. Cheney succeeds himself as
treasurer.
J. c. Lehman. $. NJ. johnson

elected for the ensuing year.

Selfish interests will be brought

is expected that the bill will pass

Messrs. Quarles and Carroll will
stay in Helent for several weeks
and will use every effort in seeing

Attorney VIM. J. jameson has
completed the census OF Roundup

Monday Of this week he went to
Lewistown to present his report to
the county commissioners, the tax
ing Of the census being one Of the

Altho the census taken by Mr..

WILL ASK FOR
new COUNTY
Quarles and Carroll Go to Helena
to Show Legislature the Why
and Wherefore

w. X. Quarles and L. r. Carroll
left yesterday morning for Helena
where they will have a bill drafted
and presented to the state legisla-
ture, which is now in session, pro-
viding for the formation of the new
county Of Musselshell, which is to
be composed Of portions Of Yellow
stone and Fergus.
There are several other division
propositions to come up before the
present session of the Legislature.
but 1t is safe to say that none of
these are as meritorious as the one
Roundup is interested in. The big
counties Of Montana, which are as
large as.and many larger than, most
eastern states, must be divided with
the development of the country.
and it is hardly fair to expect the
great Musselshell country, traversed
by a great continental railroad, and
which is rapidly being settled up,
to long continue under the present
arrangement. It is retarding the
development and growth of the
country to keep up the unwieldy
size Of the counties of this state and
especially is this the case in the
Musselshell valley where it requires
considerable time and expense to
travel to the county seats. 1t is
impossible to properly administer
this section and provide for local
Improvements such as roads, bridg-
es, etc. with the county seat 1872
miles away by rail.
The following figures, which are
not exaggerated. show conclusively
that the new county would be in no
danger of going into bankruptcy or
working undue hardships on the
people OF this section in the matter
OF taxation.

erty in the proposed county of

MRS CAROLINE WILCOX.

The death of Mrs Caroline L. Will- COX, who passed away On July 26, was very sudden and very calm. She seemed to be feeling as well as usual on retiring at night. Soon after she was heard to be breathing with difficulty and on entering her room she was found in deaths clasp. The coroner decided she had had shock which passed through the heart, causing her death. She was S9 years old and leaves three sons and two daughters who deeply mourn her loss. She was ready to go and meet her Saviour. She was patiently wait ing His call. Let us trust she is rest ing in Jesus arms and has met all the friends that have passed on be- fore her. She was buried at Bulls Bridge, beside her husband, who on- ly went little while before and is awaiting her. We trust the Lord has received them both into his Kingdom.
