OLD NEGRO HOME
 BURNS IN SELMA The Aged Inmates Bravely
 Fight Flames ALL ARE RESCUED Though High Wind Was Blowing the Main Building Was Saved
 and the Loss Was Only
 About $2000
ALL ARE RESCUED

Selma, March 24.-(Special. 1.-Two houses occupied by negro inmates at the County Old Folks home, three miles northeast of Selma, were destroyed by fire about 12 o'clock today. The main building of the institution, which is occupied by white patients, was in no way damaged by the fire, although 1t was first reported here that all of the buildings had been de- stroyed.
 All of the negro occupants of the negro wards were rescued from the burning building before they were injured. The fire originated in the witchen to the negro wards and quickly spread to an adjoin- ing building in which there were numbers of aged negro men and women. At the time high wind was blowing in the d. occupied by the white patients, and but for hard work it would have been de- stroyed also.
 Under direction of Superintendent Mitchell the aged inmates of the institu- ton, both white and black, assisted by neighbors who hurried to their rescue, fought the flames and the fire was finally confined to the two houses destroyed. The news that the institution was on fire was phoned to the county officials here and immediately a number of citizens left in buggies and automobiles to lend such assistance as they could. The negro wards will be rebuilt by Dallas county as soon as possible The damage Is esti- mated at about $20O0, which is partly cov- cred by insurance.

DISAGREE OVER
 DEPOT CHANGES

Stevenson. March 24.-(Special)-A slight misunderstanding has arisen be- tween the Business Mems association and the town council. It grew out of the withdrawal of suit summoning of flcials of the Southern railroad to ap- pear before the railroad commission at Montgomery on March for the better ment of conditions at the waiting room here and to cut the crossing at the passenger depot.
 It is alleged that the town council withdrew the complaint against rne Southern railroad with the mere un- derstanding that the requests would be granted. and proposed to do the same for the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis under like circumstances.
 This Is said to have been done without the knowledge of P. H. Woodall, w. w. Sanders and Dr. J. w. Boggess, who had been invited by Mayor J. K. Shofner to cooperate with the council of the town sociation was in favor of pushing both suits vigorously, until the desired im- provements became certainty.

ported it to Policeman Smith.
Some peculiar circumstances about
the fire were unearthed by the inves-
legations of Policeman Fentori, wh1
was patrolling Main street near Pres
ton bridge when he was attracted by
the blaze. Miss r. VI. Jackson, man :
ager of the stamp store. stated thai
she had the box placed in the lane
about noon, expecting an expressznan
to take it away, and that it was tight
ly nailed up with no loose excelsior
around. But when Policeman Fenton
reached the fire he found that the box
was ripped open on one side and the
excelsior was scattered up the lane TO-
wards Hill street. He was also told
by a resident in one of the adjoining
houses that she heard a sound like
tearing boards and the voices of two
or three men shortly before the alarm
was struck in.
Along Hill street Policeman Fenton
found no excelsior, but on Elm street
on the south side from Hill street to
the corner of Cliff there was q trail OF
freshly scattered excelsior. This neigh
borllood is one that the police say has
always produced a goodly number OF
sportive and misci1ievously inclined
boys and young men who. perhaps
could tell something of how the fire
started.
