hours. You could actually see the wind he stated. Scarce food and other conveniences were being bravely faced by his family which was sharing its roof with another family whose home was destroyed. His paper was printing in West Palm Beach. Perdido Beach sustained damage just being learned of in a letter from Mrs.

Jack Williams, daughter of Arthur Williams of this city. She writes that when the storm threatened Charlie Maas and his wife of Selma and four men from Birmingham were stopping at the small hotel which she and her husband operate at Perdido. The party heard of the storm and urged the Williams to go into Pensacola, but they went instead to the home of George Cunningham, a former Sel-mai for whose safety much unease-iess has been expressed, and there Mr. and Mrs. Williams stayed until the storm was over.

Their home was damaged, and the bluff caved in leading to their beach. None of their boats were lost, due to Mr. Williams efforts. Clinging to shrubs and trees, he managed to get about during the wind and make them fast. The Cunninghams lost heavily in pecan grove and their wharf.

Water came nearly to their home. No one was injured at the Beach. Trees were badly damaged also. The Red Cross call for funds to send help Into the Florida disaster area deserved instant response and it is believed that this city will be able to forward its desired quota of 500' to help carry forward the tre-mendqus job of rehabilitation and relief shouldered by the Red Cross. A letter received Saturday from Mrs.

Charles Stewart of Memphis, daughter of Mrs. F. F. Wise of this city, who went thru the storm at Miami emphasizes the wonderful manner in which the Red Cross has taken over Its responsibilities. She stated that ambulances with relief workers, doctors and nurses are constantly to be seen in the street; that the system is marvelous with which wounded, homeless and dis- tressed persons are being cared for, and that preventive measures to keep down outbreaks of disease are being effectively handled also.

Dallas County can let out by private contract the maintenance of her highways under a plan tried out successfully in other sections and excellent results, in the opin-ton of Julien Smith, member of the Dallas County Board of Revenue, end head of highway building activities voiced to a Times-Journal presentative Saturday The question of road maintenance goes hand in hand with the constant demand from all classes of Dallas County citizens for more connecting roads and increased facilities for reaching Selma from points In the county now badly handicapped by lack of improved roads, and the issue is constantly before the Board of Revenue. At the same time, the matter of financing the road building and maintenance programs has come in for a share of attention at the hands of Judge W. M. Vaughn, head of the Board of Revenue, who points to the fact that the County has from all sources for roads the sum of 65,250. This year $30,000 has been spent on building roads and the proposed program will bring this sum up to $4 5,000 before the close of the fiscal year.

How to obtain the best results the countys expenditures is a question which Mr. Smith believes be solved in part by leasing to private contractors the maintenance work which is necessary to keep the roads, once built, in good condition Deterioration of roads under the system now in use reaches large figures annually and it is recognized that a change must be made to insure better results. Mr. Smith believes that a system art' Roger V. Babcock, in a deat defying act which is billed as looping the loop and flying the flume' a feat never before attempted by any cyclist.

May 1 not plead for the doing away with the hideous and disastrous mulberry trees all over the city? asks a woman who signs herself "Resident. She continues, The back yards, vacant lots and alley-ways are alive with them and as a plumbing bill maker and a destroyer of shrubs and plants, they take the galm.

LONDON, Sept. 25. CAP) Experienced polar hunters doff their hats to Miss Louise A. 3oyd of San Rafael, who has returned to London after a six weeks trip into the arctic. Ti Miss Boyd belongs the distinction of having been the first woman to set foot upon desolate Franz Josef Land, to which she made the voyage on Roald Amundsen's old supply shi) Hobby.

With Miss Boyd were Miss Janet Coleman of Francisco and Count and Countess Rivada-via, friends of King Alfonsc of Spain. From the 80th degree northern latitude, Miss Boyd returned with the pelts of 29 polar bears, six of which she shot in one day. This it is considered, is enough to turn envious any arctic hunter. Sitting in the drawing room of a west end hotel, the slim American girl, clad in modish knee-length dress of black georgette, told the Associated Press a story of arctic exploits which would do credit to any male big game hunter. Miss Boyd chartered the Hobby to carry her game shooting party of four into the ice fields beyond Spitzbergen.

The Hobby sailed from Trom-oc July 29. The vessel kept a northeasterly course between Spitzbergen and Nova Zembla in the ice filled sea where shipping rarely penetrates. Fogs, Ice, Storms Fogs, ice and storms alternated until August 15, when land was first sighted. It was Bell Island, one of the Franz Josef group. The Hobby nosed her way through leads in the In Nightingale Sound until at 80 degrees 26 minutes the vessel was forced by an arctic ice barrier to turn back.

The Hobby then skirted Prince Georges Land and the party made a landing at Cape Flora, where a large stone marked the sojourn of an earlier Italian geodetic survey expedition. The islands here, said Miss Boyd, with their dome-shaped glacier covered mountains, were in remarkable contrast to Spitzbergens jagged peaks. But even here the brief arctic summer brings forth vegetation. In sheltered spots were plenty of white and yellow flowers blooming and the islands were positively alive with gulls. There was no sign of any other life.

Nothing remained of the huts erected thirty years ago by the Jackson-Rarms-wortix expedition. Our best shooting was between the 7Sth and 79th degrees. There I got eleven out of a total of 29 bears. Count Rivadavia shot a giant, weighing more than one thousand pounds. Mine only averaged 800 pounds.

Miss Boyd told modestly of her achievement in killing an infuriated bear at a range of forty yards. It was a lucky shot in the throat, she said, but I had a narrow escape. Bears move at an incredibly fast pace once they are charging over the ice, and the great thing for a person to do is to keep cool. The party captured five cubs alive. Count Rivadavia will present one of them to King Alfonso.

The others will be given to a continental menagerie. Seals were scarce. Only three came under the guns of the party. A few whales uan be worked out by which the up-4 Fair and festival, Oct. 5-9.

the Interstate Commerce Commis sion at the hearing to be held a( Washington October 19 involving) freight rates from Mississippi an Ohio River points to this plaoe, Me ridlan and Mobile. Selma has won first blood in the controversy and hopes to get a favorable order 1 the final hearing. The discrimination in freight rates to this city are showxj to be discriminatory and flagiantl unjust. An expense account will be raised to carry on the fight before the conn mission at Washington. Morgan Richards has been retained to re present Selma in the hearing.

Th following explanatory letter is be jf ing sent out by the Selma Cham ber of Commerce: Dear Sir: The Chamber of Commerce ha a complaint against the various rail roads, in which it is alleged that thf rates on all commodities from point located on the Ohio and Mississipp Rivers and beyond are unreasonably per se. and prejudicial to Selma anq preferential to Mobile and Meridian The examiner has recommended to the Commission that the prejudices be removed in so far as Meridian is concerned, but has failed to male similar recommendations as to Mo4 bile. He also failed to find that thi rates now in effect to Selma ard unreasonable and we are endeavor! ing to show the Commission thal there is just as much preeference ix to Selma are unreasonable, using thl rates which the commission itself haj established to Meridian and Mobil! as. our guide. To fight a case of this natur requires the expenditure of some thing over $1,000.00, but it will meal an enormous saving to Selma am Selma territory.

It is hard to esti mate just what the success of thi case would mean to the business in terests of Selma. However, it ii safe to say that it will run into bii money, and is of such important that it would even justify the ex penditure of that much money any individual merchant. However there are a number of merchant affected just as you are and are will ing to share the expense with yot The oral argument will be give in Washington October 19th, and wi hope that we can convince the Com mission that the entire cause fo compalint should be removed. confidently believe that we will ao complish this, but It will requi concerted effort to do so.

Contracts, signed in the early summer for Babcocks appearance here this fall, secured him for Selma in the face of streneous efforts to inveigle him into a western engagement which would have carried too far away to return to this section in time for the Festival. His bookings now embrace showings at several state fairs thru the south and in the middle west where he is popular on a number of fair circuits. Manager T.

P. Littlejohn has secured also Capt. Charles E. Cole, champion high diver of the world, who will dive twice daily during the Central Alabama Fall Fair and Festival from the top of a ladder 100 feet high. Capt Cole startled crowds in Selma the past fall with his spectacular feats in high diving and he is returning here by popular demand as his act was one of the most sensational of the free acts presented on the streets of the city during the 1925 Fall Fair and Festival.
