If by proper selection of food one can feel strong and fresh at the end of a day work. it is worth while to know the kind of food that will produce th.e result.

better than it had been at any time since the immense debt of six hundred and odd thousand dollars was placed upon Selma in reconstruction days. That debt has been decreased fully one half. and is being made less at the rate of 900 per annum. while the interest on the outstanding debt is be- ing promptly met at\ maturity. It cannot be, therefore, that the bonds for the new city building do not sell on account of the financial condition of the city, for according to the Clerks report. Selma is in a good condition, and is getting in "a better condition each year.

WILL BE NO BUILDING.
It Seems That No One WantssSelma's
 Bonds.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, June 1.
 The City Council of Selma sometime ago, left it to a vote of the taxpayers of the city. as to whether the city should be bonded for $25,000 in order to erect a new city hall, fire compa- nies' apartments, etc. The vote was very small, but the members of the legislature passed the bill, as prepared by the Mayor. On account of the bonds being exempt from County and State taxation, Governor Sanford ve- toed the bill. Mayor Mcleod had the objectionable features of the bill amended and in that condition it passed the legislature and was signed by the Governor.
 The plans for the new city building have been agreed on, and advertise ments were inserted in the local papers as per requirements of the act. asking for bids on the bonds. Only one bid was received, and the requirements of the bid were such that the city could not accept. One firm wrote letter to the authorities saying that they could place the bonds if they were made mortgage bonds on the building, but of course the city could not entertain for one moment a proposition 10 put q mortgage on one of its pRblic build ings, even if the provisions of the act had allowed the city council to do SO.
 New bids will be advertised for, but from present. indications the second call will not meet with any more sue cess than the first. Brokers who deal in municipal and other bonds claim that there is no provision in the act allowing the Debt Commissioners to re- tire the bonds. and on that account in- vestors do not care to put their money in the bonds.
 It is more than likely, therefore, that the new city buildings will not be built until the next Legislature can objectionable points.
 Clerk Stewart, in his annual report before the new Council, stated that the financial condition of the city was

Rain Does Great Damage.

As the reports from the terrific rain and wind storm of Friday morning come in. 1t is found that great dam age has been done. The rain amount ed almost to water spot over large area of territory and land has beep greatly damaged. One man informs your correspondent that on compara- lively level land gullies have been washed a foot deep and several yards wide, and that the growing crops and the rich top soil were swept away before the floods. No news about the damage done by the floods has been received from the hill country north of Selma, but if the level lands to the south and west have been so badly damaged, the results must be some- thing appalling where the torrents rushed down the steep hillsides.

 The baseball fans are little de- pressed about Selma's losing major ity of the games played, but all hope to send in a better report next week, when Shreveport comes here to cross bats with the Senators. A great many of those who keep posted on baseball matters say that Bailey and one or two others on the team, cannot play ball we'll till the mercury gets up in the neighborhood of 90, and that later in the season the Senators may be ex- pected to pull toward the top of the calendar. Tn Selma. where all take so ruch interest in the popular game, the fans hope that these predictions will prove true, and that Selma may yet win the laurels that an enthusiastic constituency hope for the Senators.
