 Scientific men of today believe in the great strength of charcoal for the cure of human ills. Too much of 1t cannot harm one. The system craves it just like an animal needs and craves salt every so often.

 Memphis Asphalt and Paving Go.
 The passage Monday night of the ordi- nances asked for by the Selma Street and Suburban Railway company and the putting up by the company of a forfeit of 5000 that it would do all things in the paving line demanded by the city, re- moved the one obstacle to the realization of paved streets, and the telegram given above was received today by Selmians with much joy.
 Already there is prospect of one or more residence streets being paved, applica- tions having been filed with the mayor by property owners to take up the question of paving Lapsley street. Lauderdale and Selma streets are likely to have in applications also.
 Baseball for Selma.
 The fans of this city are sitting up and taking notice to a considerable de- gree in the matter of baseball. There is a good chance for Selma to get in the Cotton States league, and if the new owners of the Selma Street and Suburban Railway company will put up a park and do their share toward the franchise it is most likely that Selma will have league ball again.
 Much Building Going On.

The three-story Harmony Club build inS opposite the Selma Times office, has almost the walls up, and a large force is employed rushing the building.

John L. Cary, aged SS years father of R. G. Cary. agent here for the Frisco, died suddenly on Saturday morning at the home of his son in Jasper He was a highly esteemed citizen, and In many respects a remarkable man. Mr Cary was native of North Carolina, a graduate of the old historic LaGrange college, that once flourish ed near Rus sellville. Those who knew him best ad- mired him most; and speak of him as a man of wide information and profound learning. He was true to his convic- tions of duty and led long and useful life.
 Deceased is survived by a large fami- ly of useful sons and daughters which fact was a glorious benediction at his dying hour. These are R. G. Cary, J. R. Cary and Mrs. P. H. Horton of Jas per, J.. G. Cary of Jackson Tenn,; D. O. N. Cary of Talladgea, w. H. Cary of St. Louis and Mrs J. B. Robertson of Ybor City, Fla.
 One of the visitors to Jasper yester- day was Master William Riley Day. Master William is a native of Walker county He will be years old next May. His weight is 103, and his waist measure 43 inches. He Is a well formed bright boy and gives promise of big" future.
 The Walker County Teachers asso- citation will meet in Jasper on Saturday next and will carry out an interesting programme. This association is ac- complaining great good for the edu- catlonal interests of Walker. Prof. T. J. York of Dora is president and Prof. H. G. Bowling of Jasper, secretary
 The wideawake and progressive farm CTS of Walker-and there are many such--are making preparations for vigorous intensive farming this year. Many of them will apply the William son method of corn planting and cul- ture and many will follow the advice of the government experts and state agricultural department in all things Walker is going to become one of the most productive agricultural counties in the state.
 The coal operators of Walker are still complaining of an inactive mar ket-the demand being far below nor maj for this season of the year. Con sequently only few of the mines are running full time. About three days of the week is said to be the averag ge. It is predicted and hoped that there will soon be an improvement of this con dition which is working a hardship mutually upon the operator. the miner and the community which depends so largely upon the sale of coal. It is estimated that about half the trade of Jasper is supported by the coal mines, the other half by agriculture and lumber mills.
