Selma News Notes.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The rainy weather continues and
crops are in a critical condition. Since
May Goth we have had only few days
that the lard has not been too wet to
plow and grass has such a stronghold
that it looks like some fclds will have
to be abandoned. Our "oldest inhab-
itent' does not remember ever hav-
ing seen such a long siege of wet
weather at this season of the year.
Notwithstanding the wet weather
great many peas have been sown on
stubble land, but Oh account of con-
tinued rains those that are up do not
look as we'll as they ought.
Our roads are in wretched condi.
ton, whether owing to defective road
laws or the want Of properly carrying
them out, this aeponent sayeth not. I
would suggest to our worthy supervi-
sor that he make trip to white Rock
and from there to Spring Hill road,
cross said road, and at the first fork
take either the Kennerly or the Lew
is' Ferry road and go as far down the
former as Shady Grove road, and then
back via ]. J. Kesler's to Spring Hill
road. He will be very apt to find
that in some instances, at least, ad-
vertising does not pay. Those roads
are all important highways and, in
my Judgment, need immediate atten-
ton. They have not been worked
this year.
MIR. John Kesler, who has been sick
a long time, is up and about, but is
not able to do any work. The neigh
bors have helped him some in plant
ing and working his crop. H.

Preaching vs.. Practice.

against him. 1t is understood ts--~
they secured the compromises by pay.
ing to the prosecutors the mon y that
Richardson had obtained by b for-
geries.
Richardson now praises the Lord.
falling to give his relatives any credit
for getting him out of jail, anc -.
nounces that he will devote the y
mainder of his life to the 'service CT
the Master"
He says he is going to 60 to preach
ing, but says nothing about going "
work to honestly earn enough money
to pay back to his relatives the money
they have had to pay out because of
his forgeries.
It will seem to old-fashioned people,
who look at things in common-sense
way, that Richardson sjust about the
last man that should be allowed to
preach the gospel.
He is calculated to do a great deal
of harm. There are people who will
be encouraged in wrong doing. in
stead of kept from it, by the spectacle
of known forger preaching from the
pulpits without having made restitu-
ton for his sins, and without having
suffered punishment for them. They
will argue that if the Lord took care Of
Richardson, He would also take care
of them if they should acquire money
by the unlawful use Of other peoples
names.
This is a free country, and under
our constitution man is allowed to
practice and preach any sort Of religion
that may happen to suit his fancy.
But dishonest people should be pun
ished, and when they are allowed to
20 free through the influence of friends
or relatives they should not be al
lowed to set themselves up as guides
for others. To put such people to
preaching will bring religion of any
kind into disrepute.
Richardson, as preacher of the
gospel, would do much harm, but as a
man honestly acknowledging past
mistakes and honestly trying to make
restitution for them, he would COM
mand the utmost, respect and would
do a great deal of good.-Anderson

FARMER KILLS FARMER.

Athens, Ga., June 24.-J. F. Booth,
we'll known farmer, living three
miles from Statham. was shot and
killed yesterday by B. A. Boyd, an
other farmer living short distance
from him. The two had been at outs
for some time and had not spoken.
Monday they had some words over
Boyd's COWS getting in Booths crops.
Yesterday the two men met in front
of Booths house, and the difficulty
was renewed.
Each side has different version as
to who was the aggressor and as to
the number of shots fired. Several
shots were fired by both men; only
one took effect and that one passed
through the bowels of Booth, who
fell in his tracks.
Boyd's little son and Booths young
daughter were nearby at the time Of
the shooting.

will pay corporation taxes and also
district taxes according to the opinions
of those who favor extension but those
who oppose coming into the corpora

that the county will continue to have
