NEGRO NARROWLY
 ESCAPES VIOLENCE

Selma, February 19-(Special.)- )-F'rank Griffin. & negro with criminal record, narrowly escaped summary punishment in broad daylight in the heart of the busi- ness district this afternoon. He had mortgaged two mules to lsaacson x Marks, advancing merchants, and did not have the stock. He was arrested and car ried to Justice of the Peace Berrys oi- flee. on Water street, the windows .of which open out on the roofs of buildings on the bluff of the river.
 Constable Fulford turned the negro over to his deputy, MT. Suttles, and at a mo- ment when only the two, the negro ana Mr. Suttles, were in the office the negro picked up an iron bolt about two feet long and an inch In diameter and oealt the officer several blows on the head, hand and arm. He then jumped through the window, carrying the sash with him, leaped across a six-foot alleyway be- tween the roofs, jumped to a somewhat lower shed and then jumped 15 feet to the river bank.
 The officer regained consciousness as the negro was going out of the window and fired at him, but did not hit him. As the negro ran along the rear of the build- inas and came up at the approach of the bridge. Bridgekeeper Bowline caught him and carried him back to the steps leading i'm to the iustices office. Here the negro swore he would not go up the steps again. and about that time the deputy came down the stairs, bleeding profusely from his wounds.
 large crowd gathered and had the ne- gro persisted longer in refusing to go up the steps or had Deputy Sheriff Cherry been a little later in reaching him 1t Is likely that he would have been seriously dealt with, for the crowd was becoming angered.
 The officer had two fingers on his hand broken and sustained several serious cuts about the head. The negro had served a six-mopths term in the coal mines for attempted criminal assault on one of his color about two years ago, and had not long been back home.

Eight convictions, six acquittals, 10 cases withdrawn and 13 nolle pressed; percent age of convictions. 80. This number of cases should be disposed of in at least two days in any court that dispatches any business at all, thus taking two days of the circuit solicitors time from his duties as assistant solicitor of the criminal court of this county.

mer Governor Jelks was largely mini mixed by the failure to have from either a statement of reasons for so doing. In a word. it appears that the Mallory cam paign has been baking at the start. either Intentionally or because of condi- tions they cannot avoid. However, there is promise of all the intensity needed by the end of the coming week.
 Can't Stop old Issue
 There is no question about the domi- nance of the recently defeated prohibition amendment as an issue in the fight. O'Neal is largely known as the man who spoke about the state against it; Mallory as one of the men who fought for 1t. There is hardly a man who talks about the race that does not ring in this fea- ture of the controversy. It is running into county, aye, into judicial politics, one man in the Third circuit announc- ing for judge on the O'Neal platform. Many county contests are lined up, the candidates taking it that there is an issue and they must meet 1t. Hence, 1t is amendment and anti-amendment almost to the extent that it was in the race that resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the amendment

this county show that from January 1, 1905 to January. 1910. there has been paid out the sum of s2700 for extra solicitors to try cases in the criminal court; this does not include the salaries of the two assistant solicitors; the county solicitor certifying that it was necessary to ad- minister justice and carry on the busi- ness of said court
 beg leave to inquire where was the circuit solicitor when this money col lected from the taxpayers of Jefferson county was being paid out for extra solic- itors?
 Some people say this office is sinecure. Do these facts justify this conclusion?
 If I am elected by the voters of Jef- ferson county as their circuit solicitor I will do my duty as the law requires and save the people this money paid out for extra solicitors If I don't I invite any taxpayer to bring impeachment pro- ceedings before the grand jury against me for neglect of duty.
