BOLD THIEVES ROB
 BIG SELMA STORE
Enter Tissier Hardware While
 Large Light Burns
LEAVE OBSCENE NOTE
Cahaba Cotton MiII Resumes Work. Senator Johnston and O'NeaI to Speak Thursday Night.
 Geers Wants to Come

Selma, October 25.-(Special.)-D the early hours of this morning thieves entered the store of the Tissier Hard ware company on Broad street and took about s75 in cash and many articles of value.
 The store occupied by the Tissier Hard- ware company extends from Broad street through to Washington street. The en- trance into the store was effected through the Washington street door, and the bur glary was one of the boldest that has been committed here in several months.
 For some weeks past workmen have been engaged in putting in new front to the Broad street entrance of the store. Since then there has been burned in the store every night four or five big arc lights. With these lights burning bright ly the thieves this morning worked at their leisure and from the stock care- fully selected only articles of value.
 Some trouble was experienced by them with the tools they worked with, and going to the department of the store where locks and other repair work is done they cut the wire netting around the department and entered and sharp ened their tools upon a grindsone, after which they resumed their opera tions.
 An effort was made by the burglars to enter the large safe in the office of the store, but they did not succeed. One of the burglars visited the private desk of c. G. Tissier and in which he found sev- eral dollars. He then sat down and wrote MT. Tissier a very insulting note. which was couched in most obscene language There were taken about 10 of the finest pistols in stock. Many valuable and high-priqed knives and other goods of value were taken by the burglars. The robbery was discovered this morning when the store was opened and the po- lice department was immediately noti- fled.

srALLINGs SENDS OUT LETTER DE- NYING CALUMNIOUs STATEMENTS SPREAD OVER STATE REGARDING
 DEMOCRATIC STANDARD BEARER

Col. Emmet O'Neal reached Birming-
 ham last night and will spend today in
 the city. He did not care to discuss the
 speech of Joseph o. Thompson of last
 Friday night, but stated that he would
 deal with Mir. Thompson sufficiently in
 his speech at Selma tomorrow.
 Campaign Manager Jesse Stallings of
 the democratic forces Is mailing over the
 state a letter in which he finally refutes
 the charges brought against Col. Emmet
 O'Neal, gives history of his life and pays tribute to his high moral stand ard and habits of sobriety. Among other things the letter says:
 .'The campaign committee, while real izing that MT. ONeaPs character needs
 no defense at their handssis of the opin- ion. however, that the time has come
 when these falsehoods and islanders should be refuted. lest thousands of good.

 the record of MT. O'Neal. First, he is
 the son of a famous Confederate general
 and distinguished governor of this state,
 graduate with high honor of the Uni-
 versity of Alabama. Second, MT. O'Near S
 political record has been an enviable one.
 "He was member of the constitu- tional convention of 1so1 an elector in the Eighth (his own) congressional district in 1884; elector for the state-at-large in 1892: United States district attorney for the Northern district of Alabama from 1893 to 1S97 member of the state execu- tive committee from the state-at-large from 1897 to 1902: member of the state executive committee from 1880 continu- ouscly for 20 years; delegate to the na- tionai convention in 1904; an elector on the democratic ticket from the state- at-large and president of the cleo toral college in 1908; and also president of the State Bar association.
 "It will thus be seen that he has been honored from his early manhood by his county, his congressional district, his state and by Grover Cleveland. Presl- dent of the United States Men who know him and his integrity, his moral life and his exalted ideals, have always esteemed, admired and trusted him most.
