SELMA MAY PLAY HERE
LEM BAILEY TRYING TO MAKE
 ARRANGEMENTS.
The Central City Team Beats Bir- mingham by snappy Fielding, Shutting on Two Runs
 at Home Plate.

According to a statement made by Lem Bailey. the star pitcher of the Selma team. who was here yesterday. Mont. gomery is likely to have series of league baseball games before the Sum mer is over.
 Owing to the poor attendance in Selma. the management of the team is thinking of transferring part of the series to Montgomery. if there Is any demand for the sport here. Bailey says he has seen representatives of the Street Railway Company and after looking after other arrangements he says the outlook is
 The Selma team has not been playing as good ball as 1t did several weeks ago. Nevertheless 1t Is good team and the Southern League 1t includes Baker. Cribbens and Bailey. The team seems to have been playing in bad luck and not having the support or the nome rooters, rooters siIl go cut and root good end hard, Montgomery Is likely to have some good ball games, as there is excellent ma terial in the Selma team.
 Birmingham. July 1s-(Special.)-Selma broke the spell and won game of ball today by the close score of ? to l. The first Birmingham man up tshort Stop Moss) scored, but he was also the last one of the locals to cross the home plate He got a base on balls. took second on Cribbenss error and scored on LarocQue's SinRl6k AIteT that the btTIntuBndut H1ch had several apparently good chances to score. but failed to do so. due to their own poor base-running and the snappy field work of the visitors at critical junctures, two Birmingham men being put out at the home plate. Selma never got a man to second base until the fourth inning. Then Cribbens singled. got second on Weaver's grounder to first and out after Mcfarland had gone out on a ny to short. and scored on stouch's single. No more runs were made until the eighth when Busch. Selma's kid third baseman, hit beautiful single over the second basemans head. Baker tried to sacri- flee, Larocque got the bali and he and Baker collided on the first base line. Meanwhile Busch was running for third. Larocque threw wild to third and Busch scored. Both pitchers did good work. ai- though Baker was wild in the early part of the, game. The Selma men played we'll. taking desperate chances in the field. which accounts for their five errors, but only one error on each side figured In a run. Eight hundred people saw the game.

RAINS IN LAUDERDALE.
Crops Not as Badly Damaged as
 First Thought.

Florence, July 19.-(Special. l=-Good rains fell in the city and throughout the sur rounding country. Corn is damaged some, but the loss will not be as heavy as nrst thought. Early corn has suffered more than late corn. The cotton crop has not been hurt but rather helped, by the dry weather as the plant is free from weeds and has a good. healthy. growth.
 The city ,s advertising the sale of the second lot of Sao.0O0 twenty-year sewer bonds, known as 5's The first twenty thousand brought a good premium. The sewers are partly completed and will soon be in operation over the most con- gested part of the city.
 Several persons have been active for the past month taking oil and gas leases in the county and about 900 acres have been put under lease. John A. Pirtie and other experts have been here and are inn pressed with the fact that oil exists ana say that the indications are fattering for finding oil. Several companies composed of local and foreign capital will be or ganized in the next few days.

IMPORTANT DECISION
COTTON MILL BUILDINGS FIX
 EMITTED FROM TAXATION.
Residences of the Operatives Do Not Come Within Provision of the Code Preventing Collection n.
 of Taxes. tj elf ,oI' q

Birmingham, July 19.-(Special.)- )-The Jefferson County Board of Revenue. sit- ting as a Board of Equalization has de- cided that the buildings owned by cotton do not come within the provision of the section of the code which exempts cotton mills from taxation. This Is a decision of considerable importance, as It anects and great interest will attach to the case until 10 Is finally decided by the Supreme Court. before which tribunal It is almost sure to go. The decision was Avondale Cotton Mills. Back. Tax Com. missioner B. A. Thompson. after careful consideration of the matter decided that the houses occupied by the mill nanos s exempt from taxation and. in order to test the matter. he assessed the houses arnesed to the Avondale plant at $lOoo When the case came before Lne-beaffd .sa tea Cotton Mill Company, resisted the assess ment very vigorously. claiming that the houses come under that section wnlch reads "and the buildings, plants, ma ances, proper or necessary for the prac- tical or necessary operation Of such mllis or factories" shall be exempt, etc. The board. however. sustained MT. Thompson and the assessment was fixed at $10.0o0. MT. Conner claims that the houses Tor the operatives are necessary 10 the op- eration of tho mills and that the code contemplates these houses in the term "buildings" On the other hand, the Tax Commissioner asserts that the term buildings" as used by the code refers to the buildings which are part of the plant and are necessary to It's operation. such as warehouses. off ,es, etc. and that it does not refer to the dwellings occupied by operatives. It Is claimed that a cotton mill can be operated just hs well by persons who live in houses rented from private parties as by hands resid- ing in houses owned by the mill. Both sides have taken an appeal in this case and it will be heard by the Circuit Court and will probably be taken to the Su- preme Court.

An Attempted Assassination.

Flora, Ind, July 1s.-About l o'clock this morning a would-be assassin at tempted to take the life of Thomas Col lins, night marshal. by firing shot at him. There is considerable feeling here against Collins, as it is alleged that he exercises too much authority for an off cer of his-iimited rank. Recently he is- sued an order to arrest the first person found smoking a cigarette inside the cor porate limits. This aroused much ill., feeling against him and 1t Is the supposi- ton that enemies are plotting to get him out of the way.
