Talking of Baseball.

Nothing daunted by the discouraging defeat of last season, 1t looks now as if the baseball enthusiasts were going tc tackle another league team. but 1t will be nearer home than the last cities that composed the league, and the long jumps between the cities will thus be avoided and a consequent great saving in railroad fare.
 Among baseball men there the follow ing cities are said to be talking about forming a league: Selma. Birmingham, Macon. Mobile. Montgomery. Columbus, and two or three other cities, not yet decided on. These cities are comparative ly close together and if an agreement can be reached between them to go into a league some fine ball will be given the respective cities the coming season. The scheme is yet in embryo state, but several baseball enthusiasts in Birming- ham, Selma and Montgomery are at work on the scheme and it is more than likely that something will come out of it.
 Colonel Ff M. Abbott and Superinten dent W. R. Hall of the Selma Street and Surbuban Railway are ready to encour- age the organization of the league. If they go into 1t the park across the river will be abandoned and a grand stand and enclosure will be erected near the Golf Links at Elkdale Park. This would be a fine thing for the street railway and 1t Is thought that more people will ride out to Elkdale to see a game of ball than would walk across the river for the same pur- pose. At any rate the above gentlemen are willing to furnish the grounds and do their share in other ways toward get ting baseball on a paying basis in this city. In the next thirty or sixty days some definite developments may take place that will please Selma baseballists immensely

To Speak in Autauga.

Tomorrow Hon. B, F. Wilson will speak at Mulberry in Autauga County at Il o'clock in the morning and that night at Statesville. In both places he will tell the people why they should vote for the ratification of the new Constitution. These two places are within the zone of Burns of Burnsville and he will be there to tell the people that MT. Wilson Is talk ing gospel truth. MT. Burns will de- liver speeches. at both appointments, or rather, talk, as he prefers to call 1t. And whenever John F. Burns talks to his nearby neighbors they always listen. The news that reaches Selma from the part of Autauga that adJoins Dallas is. that the cause of ratification is rapidly gaining ground and when the election rolls around Autauga will be found in the rati- fication column.
 In Dallas it has not been necessary to make a speech for the ratification of the new Constitution. It is true that the management the Street Fair had Governor Jelks and Colonel Brandon here to deliver speeches, but, so far as con- verting any body in Dallas was concerned. it was not necessary, for 95 per cent of the white men of this county are for rati- fication and have been all the time.
 Among the colored population there Is no talk of voting against the ratification of the new Constitution that your repre- sentative can hear of. None of poodle negroes have been feeling around for a take out" to march the coons up to the polls to vote for ratification and to all ap- pearances they are perfectly oblivious to the fact that the most important election in Alabama during the past quarter of a century is only a week off. If the negro population of other parts of Alabama is taking no more interest in the election than the colored people are here. not over 10000 negroes in Alabama will go to the polls Tuesday and register their votes against ratification. The indications are now that they will absolutely refrain from voting Of course there maybe change between now and November nth.

STALLINGs AND HEFLIN.
The Man from Butler Goes Against
 the Chambers Buzz-Saw.

Clayton, Nov. 6.-(SpeciaI) I)-Messrs J F. Stallings and J. T. Hef1in met in joint debate here Monday. Mir. Stallings dic- tated the division of time giving to him self one hour in opening, to MT. Hefiin' s one hour and a half following. and to himself half hour to close. He made no argument; he stated that Senator Pugh helped frame the present Constitu- tion which was not like an old suit of clothes to be put on and off at will; he gave it as his opinion that the new in- strument was unconstitutional and quoted ex-Governor Oates, Senator Morgan ana similar views and asked why these gentle men were not working for the ratification of the new Constitution. He stated that the extension of the terms of sherins ana Senators was done in the interest of cer- tain parties for United States Senate. One side of the court house was packed with negroes who frequently groaned and grunted their applause Of MT. Stalhngs, and almost to a man left the hall when he finished speaking.
 Mr. Hef1in followed in fine speech in which he set forth clearly and loglcaliy the necessity and the exDediency of a new Constitution. He said the old suit of clothes referred to by Mir. Stallings did not fit now because the niggers were standing out like so many great knots and bumps on the body polite but that these bumps would be knocked off next Monday-that a new suit had been or dered and would be here on the llth inst. He answered the question Of MT. Stall- ings as to where Senator Morgan ana eX- Governor Oates stand and showed the fal lacy of the implied assertion they were opposed to ratification.
 The verdict of the large audience pres ent was that 1t was a Waterloo for Stall- ings and indeed the latter seemed to rec ognize it as such ;as he refused to divide time with Hefiin at Abbeville. saying, that General Shelly had instructed him not to do so.
 Mir TTefiin spoke at Louisville to fine crowd yesterday morning and at Clio that afternoon
