Hso Deal in Cement Lands.

F. A. Saylor today coorroborated the statement that the Great Southern Port land Cement Company of which he IS vice-president had purchased for 4oOOO the rights to dig rock and manufacture cement on the plantation of Hon. J. F. Milhous in West Dallas. A manufacto- ry with a capacity of 2.0Oo barrels day is to be constructed at once, and 600 men are to be employed in the plant.
 In speaking of the outlook for the in- dustry Mir Saylor said that he expected to see Selma the center of the greatest cement-producinE territory in the world.
 The lands which MT. Saylor and his company have control of are situated on the Bogue Chitto Creek near Orrville and comprise 1,9O0 acres. Upon them and. if is said, upon contiguous lands. are the richest deposits of cement rock ever dis covered. The deposits lie in belt several miles in width and stretching from Mont gomery County, Ala, to Columbus. Miss.
 Negotiations for the Milhous property have been discussed for some time but the deal has just been made. By its agreements MT. Milhous receives $40.00O for "digging rights on his 1.20O acres. He does not lose his homestead and will not move his residence unless operations necessitate 1t.
 The beginning of the cement industry in Dallas County Is of course of great pith and moment to Selma and this city will probably be largely the beneficiary of the Great Southern's factory. This city will be naturally the spending place for the 600 workmen who will be employed in the factory. And. which is of more im- portance, it is more than possible that Selma will as MT. Saylor said today. be- come the center of the greatest cement territory in the world.
 The Great Southern Portland Cement Company has the following officers. all of whom, except MT. Saylor of Rome, Ga, live in Boston:
 E. J. Hoag, president W. R. Batchel- der, treasurer; Joseph E. Whitney, secre- tary; B. F. A. Saylor. first vice-president; F. D. Sanbord. second vice-president.
 When asked for an opinion upon the cement industry in the South, Mfr. Saylor said
 "The northen cement companies in Michigan and Pennsylvania are fighting southern interests in cement on account of magnesia in the rock deposits There is magnesia in the rock, bue we have It upon the most eminent authority of the United States Geological Survey that magnesia is an inert substance and that 1t has no affect upon the active principles of Portland cement.
 "These northern factories naturally cry down the southern product but we can out do them in point of freights and everything else and they are scared.
 Alabama has more resources for the production of Portland cement than any other State In the Union and under cheaper processes of manufacture. When these northern factories claim that they have an article that contains less mag nesia than ours we refer them to the United States Geological survey as an authority-that magnesia is only an inert substance. that the active substances of cement are silica, aluminium, and lime"
 Mir. Saylor left today for Rome and will return in two weks.

New Cotton Compress.

The Selma Warehouse and Compress Company announces it will construct a new cotton compress for use next season. It will cost between s9O.0O0 and s4O,OOO and will increase the total capacity of the company's plant to 1,6Oo bales a day.
 The new press will be located on the company's property in East Selma and will! be Of the latest pattern. Its exact plans have not yet been selected.
 The companys officers were led to the conclusion that another press wss needed by the increase of cotton receipts this year. The number of bales pressed to date is 29,0OO against 19,o00 last year and the press has been unable to do all the work demanded.

Cour of Revenues.

The Court of Revenues of Dallas coun- ty met this morning and transacted rou- tine business without taking up the new road law which will receive considera- ton tomorrow morning. The chief work of to-day was the passing of bills against the county.
 One question which has been puzzle to citizens of the county was brought out this was a peculiarly in tne itemized statement of disbursements by the county as published in the newspa- pers of recent date. It was evidently the purpose of the court to cut down the cost of laying before the public the bud get. and thus in several instances 1t was unintentionally and erroneously repre- scented that members of the court had been paid $16 a day for their services. whereas the per diem allowed by law is M.
