SELMA PEOPLE MEET Petition Governor of Alabama to Raise Quarantine Against Stlmi, WANT TO GO HOME NEXT MONDAY Also Draft Strong Resolutions Thanking City Authorities and Romans For Their Hospitable Reception. The Selma people now its Rome are anxious to return home. They believe that there is not the slightest danger from yellow fever, and may seriously doubt if there was ever a case there. A meeting was held in the Armstrong parlors yesterday morning to discuss the situation. Two committees were ap pointed, one to draft resolutions of thanks to Rome for its hospitable recep tion of the refugees, and the other to draw up a petition to the governor of Alabama asking that the quarantine be raised so that they can return horn. The following are the resolutions of thanks to Rome, which were unanimously adopted by the meeting of Selma citizens. Whereas: We are denied refuge in our own state, and on account of the yellow fever outbreak are compelled to seek homes within the bounds of a sistei state in compliance with the rigorous quaran tine regulatiens of the state of Alabama, and Whereas: The mayor and city council as well as the citizens of Rome, have ex tended to us a cordial welcome, and have accorded to us that hospitality which is characteristic of most southern communi ties; Therefore, be it resolved: That we tender to the mayor, members of the city council and all citizens of Rome this expression of our gratitude and heartfelt appreciation of their kind ness at a time when the doors of our own state were closed against us, Mrs. Maby F. Knight. Mrs. Francis Higgin. Mrs, Dr. R. A. Rush. M. W. Walker. J. Brislin. Ed A. Niel. Committee. No trains run into Selma now nnder the quarantine regulations, and all citi zens leaving the state cannot return un der ten days, and must show a clean health bill then. By the petition to Gov. Johnstone, they hope to have the quarantine raised so that the Southern can carry them into the city. Many wish to return Monday next, and if their request is granted a special will take them down. There are probably 150 Selma people in Rome now, as every train brings a number who went on though to Nashville last Sunday and Monday. Quite a party arrived last night, and it is likely that many more will come in today. The following petition will be mailed to Gov. Johnstone at Birmingham this morning. Resolved: That we the undersigned refugees from Selma, Ala., having cause to believe that yellow fever does not now exist in that city, all suspicious cases having been discharged, and no new cases developed, do hereby respect fully petition his Ex-cellency Gov. Jos. T. Johnson to raise his state quarantine against the city of Selma, on and after Monday, Nov. Ist, provided no new cases develop by said date. R, A. Rush, R. H. McFoddin, F. M. Donnor, J. O.

PROSPEROUS ROME. More Activity and Bustle Here Than Anywhere in the Country. Mr. J. B. Marvin, who has just re cently returned from a trip north talks interestingly of the business ac tivity of Rome as compared with other places. After spending several days at the Convention of American Street Railway Association at Niagara Falls. Mr. Marvin weat to New York City to confer with Mr. Cunningham, presi dent of the Rome Street Railway. “Mr. Cunningham expressed him self as being very well pleased with the success of the extension to Mob ley park. It is his wish, and mine, to put on several new cars in the spring. If we find we can do so, and it is more than probable now, it will give us greater facilities for handling large crowds. The trouble now is when we have large crowds to handle at any point on the line, we have to center our cars for awhile at this point, and take them all off of tbe other branches This, of course, is an inconvenience, but I hope will be all right in the spring. “The old slow horse cars are still in use in many of tbe busiest streets of New York, and also in Washington. I told friends in both places that I woo d go beck to Rome and jump on a modern car propelled by electricity. The streets of New York are fearfully torn up, and it is not much pleasuee to be there now. “I just want to tell you one thing. When I got off here and saw the busy streets thronged with people, and the general air of bustle, it made me feel good. Rome has more genuine and solid evidences of prosperity than any place I visited while away. It is the best city of its size in tbe United States today.” COTTON off ten points. The Market Broke Badly Yesterday—l 4 Pointe For Two Days. The cotton market closed ten points lower yestereay than Thursday’s close. Thursday’s market closed four points shy, making the total decline for two days fourteen points. The hopeful tendency of the first day or so of the present week, and the steady rise of a few points was wiped out. and the week shows a lossage of several points. It would be a matter of diffi culty to predict what a day will bring forth. The local receipts continue quite heavy, with street prices prevailing at for middlings. Farmers are beginning to hold back as much as possible, though many are forced to sell on account of maturing ob - ligations. It is a fact that Rome pays tbe very top of the market in spite of the efforts of a.few surrounding towns to injure this city’s business. The farmer will get just as good, if not better, prices for his cot ton here, as any place in North Georgia Arnold’s Bromo-Celery. The greatest remedy of the 19th century for headaches, lOcts.
