SELMA PEOPLE SCARED. * ■ Seven Cases Occasion Exodus From City —Reported That Special is Coining The people of Selma are veiy badly frightened over the seven cases of yellow fever there. About seventy came up over the South ern from there yesterday. Probably a dozen stopped here. The others trans ferred to the Georgia division of the Southern, and continued on to Nashville, Knoxville, Washington and various other points north. A rumor was freely circulated over the city yesterday asternoon and last night that a special left at 1 o’clock p. m., with 200 or 300 refugees for this city. The railroad authorities vigorously denied that any special had left Selma bound for Rome. At a late hour it had not arrived here, but more refugees are expected to arrive today, even should the story of an extra be untrue. Several members of the council heard the rumors about tbe train, and called on Mayor King. They favored holding a meeting at once to act upon quarantin ing, but it was decided not to do so. Midnight Reports. A dispatch from Se’.ma at midnight says that seven cases of yellow fever have developed there, and that many people will leave in the morning foT Rome.
