Selma, Aug -(SpeciaD-Within the next year there may be erected in Selma a handsome Cotton Exchange ries in height and which will cost in the neighborhood of S6O,0o0.
 The movement for the erection of the Cotton Exchange building was started this afternoon and results from the contention which the cotton men of the city have engaged in during the past week for more adequate and con- venient quarters for the exchange.
 During the coming year the ex- change will be continued in the pres ent quarters on Water street. The present quarters were retained by vote of the members in the meeting hich was held Monday afternoon.
 The movement for the erection of cotton exchange Building In which would be located offices for the cotton men was started this afternoon in the exchange by Major " B. Atkins. The suggestion was made and Major At kins started the movement by posting upon one of the blackboards that he would take $2,OOo of stock in the build ing.
 Considerable interest was at once taken in the project by those at the exchange and in fe minutes near ly every member present agreed to take from $500 to $1,O0O stock in the building. The movement found favor among the majority of the cotton men of the city and all of them are wiE- ing to take stock in the building and believe that 1t would prove paying investment.
 Within the next few days 1t is be- lieved that some organized plan will be Sdopted and that the movement for

There are many women in this world handsome in features, perfect in form. graceful of movement and brilliant or mind, who keep in the background just because they have thin. colorless and iHsterless hair.
 Such condition causes vexation; it is annoying and even distressing. es- pecially when other women seem to be blessed with an abundance of lux urfant and captivating hair
 In Paris they understand things about the hair that we do not know in this country It was Parisian. Dr. Sabourand. who discovered that thin hair and dandruff are caused by mi- crobe.
 It is the famous preparation, Paris ian Sage. that kills the dandrun mt- crobe; 1t is Parisian Sage that will make women's hair grow luxuriant; that win turn dull lifeless looking hair into delightfully."- lustrous and beautiful hair in a few days

 Parisian Sage is a delightfully."- pleas ant hair dressing and invigorator; 1t is not sticky or greasy. It should be used freely in summer as 1t keeps the scalp clean and cool and free from un- pleasant odors.

Barbour Man Elected to schoiarship in
 Mobile.
 Eufaula, Aug. 24.--tSpecial) )--The County Board of Revenue met at the court house here yesterday and in ad- dition to much routine work in the matter of regulating taxes elected w. O. Norton for the scholarship at the medical college in Mobile.
 At the last meeting held in Clayton the Board failed to agree between pr. Blair and Dr. Norton and finally ad- journed to again take up the matter and 1t was not until after a number of ballots were had yesterday that any decision was reached.
 The matter of working the public roads was also further discussed and resulted in the postponement of any definite action until the next meeting.
 It Is evident from expressions gained from the different members that the gangs and teams will be restored about the middle of September. Whatever may be the state of affairs as regards the working of the public roads 1t is safe to say that Barbour can lay claim to as good public bridges as any coun- ty in the State.
 s. J. Caraway, the superintendent has given his personal attention to them and they are regarded perfectly safe and sound in all sections of 1t. In many localities where the roads were becoming in too bad condition resi- dent citizens along the routes have turned out and worked them and with the exception of but few sections they are in fairly good shape.
 The coming in of the new cotton crop seems to have stimulated all the business men with renewed energy and already increased activity is noticed in trade circles in mercantile lines The city is usually thronged with out of town visitors every day and the streets are presenting a fall like appearance.
 John D. Martin a prominent citizen of Dothan, has reached the city and will be joined by his wife here Septem- Der 1, where they will reside.

to make the long. wooden clicks which for
three centuries have been called Dutch
clocks" The peasant families living
along the edges of the Black Forest
sought to shorten the hours OF the long
winter evenings by carving the beautiful
wooden cases. There is a story that
often when one Of these clocks would
strike eight the hour would only be the
third. but the people of Holland under
stood their own striking devices. This
clock management will not seem more
queer than the plan used in Trinity Col
lege, Dublin. There the clock was for
and all university examinations and pro-
ceedings regulated by it, y legend SAYS
that the college time was changed in con-
sequence of the death of a student who
was killed in an effort to cross the rail-
ings of the fence having been too late
for admission by the gate
Inc era of modern clockmaking is
marked by the invention of a reliable
steel spring which can be made cheap
enough to be placed in the least expensive
for this accomplishment Connecticut
where cheap steel springs We're first
made, may he called the "home of the
modern clock" From the workshop of
Eli Terry, who in 1900 made the first
modern American clock. hundreds of
clock and watch factories have sprung
into existence, and even now Connecticut
is the center of the industry in this coun-
try The movements of our cary clocks
were entirely of wood, and later of brass
nodded in casts. Soon. however, Alneri-
can manufacturers introduced "A system
of cutting the different parts of the
mechanism out of sheet brass with die
instead of casting. This gave greater
accuracy to the timepieces. In our own
country the manufacturers were the first
to make all of the parts of the clock by
machinery. hence the Yankee clocks soon
became the cheapest in the world At
present the output of the factories in the
United States amounts to thousands a
year. Some are elaborate and master
pieces of their kinds, while others are of
the inexpensive variety wanted only for
use.
In every American household there is
at least one clock, and more often sew

people of today would lose part of the
energy, for what is more of spur to the
Indifferent schoolboy than the striking
of the clock? What is more important
in this workaday world than the keep
ing of correct time to properly apportion
the minutes and hours to the crowding
duties of life and to inspire punctuality.
