THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
DISCUSSED BY A PROMINENT
 SELMA MERCHANT.
He Does Not Believe That Disaster is in Store for the Men Who Advance Supplies
 to Planters.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau. Selma, Jan. L
 for 1so2 to representative of The Ad- vertiser vest e.day, a prominent water Street business man said: ..%~ There is plenty of business to. doa If the nerve to let his money out. A great many men think this is going to be. an awfully hard year to do business. but l do not think so It is the year following stable that dread. Last year the corn crop was very short in this section and the farmers are going to Ahave to buy about half the grain that they will need they are going to economize from the very start and do without a great many things they would otherwise buy if they had their cribs full of corn. For in stLnce, the laborers on the plantation will not buy as many buggies to go to meetin' in. as they would if the times were flush. and all hands will curtail ex- penses in 8 dozen different articles that they would like to have, but which they dull. :, crop win be made on a closer basis than tion of the corn that will have to be pur- chased to feed the stock on. If a good corn crop Is made this year and fair cotton crop. this country will be on it's of this country if failure Is made? That I am not figuring on. If ws make a failure in corn and cotton both, of course this country will be in a bad fix. But I do not figure. on two bad crops succeeding each other. Of course such a thing Is possible. but It is hardly prob able.
 "It is going to take some nerve to do an advancing business this year, but the planters must be helped. The man who does 1t will reap rich reward If the have to take his chances on the farmers paying him back in the years to come As for me, I am going in and help the planters, for their prosperity and suc- cess means the growth progress and development of this agricultural section of Alabama Let him fail for several years and the mercantile interest of our city and section will suffer. There Is nothing for business men to do but to back up the planters as they have here tofore been doing and trust to their ward. tsss
 But I am sorry for the negro tenants this time of year. They have scarcely anything with which to feed their fami- lies. and many of them will have to tunrn their stock back to the advance merchants or let them starve. 1t Will be a blessing to all concerned when winter is over and the money to make the next crop commences to be turned loose. Things will loosen up very ma terially then. and the song of the ne- gro plowman and the crack of the whip will ring out as of old. It is a good always look on the bright side of all uuestiOns'

BUFFALO, y. Y, Aug. 5.-The second
day of the Grand Circuit was rather tame
Direct Hal and The Roman repeated their
wins of earlier in the season, both getting
their races easily. The only excitement
came in the first heat of the PA pace,
when there a collision on the first
turn, the drivers of King Charles and
Grasshopper being unseated. Grasshopper
made the circuit of the track without a
driver, but King Charles was stopped.
Cooper who drove the former, was not
hurt, but Maloney, the owner Of King
Charles, got a black eye and badly skin
ned cheek. The judges ruled that as the
collision seemed unavoidable, all horses
would start in the other heats. Maloney
got up behind King Charles and in the
third heat made a plucky drive, getting
second place and third money in the race.
Direct Hal had the pole and was always
in front in the 2:24 pace. Geers not being
compelled to reduce his horses record to
win. The Roman drew sixth position in
the PTS trot but went through the horses
and won easily. Both were heavy favorites,
Direct Hal at $50. against SIS for the field,
and The Roman at $50 against $40.
The 2:30 pace was also decided in straight
heats. being a procession in each instance.
Gold Brick was held at $50 to $11 in the
pooling. Summaries:
