NEWS OF CENTRAL CITY
INTEREST IN COMING ALABAMA
 RIVER CONVENTION.
Long Dry Spell Has Demonstrated the Necessity of Deepening the ChanneI-McLe0d to De-
 liver Address.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Nov. 8.
 The chief topic of interest to Selma merchants, just now, is the convention to be held in Montgomery November II, in the interest of improving the Ala bama River
 The long dry spell of this summer and the consequent low water in the river has been detrimental in no small degree to the business interests of the city and especially so to wholesale busi- ness.
 The Commercial and Industrial Asso- citation has appointed committee of fifteen from its membership, to attend the convention, to add their influence to the movement for better water traf- flee facilities. Ex-Mayor A. l.. Mo Leod, has consented to deliver an ad- dress before the convention upon the subject assigned the Selma delegation. which Is: The development of the cotton trade on the Alabama River" MT. Mcleod Is recognized as an erudite scholar. and impressive speaker. and the Selma delegation expects something good from him.
 In conversation with The Advertiser correspondent this morning, J. Foote Hooper. president of the Commercial and Industrial Association, stated, that his Association was putting forth every effort to gather all the data possible, to further the interests of river improve ment.
 l ne IoiloW1nB IS the committee Wntch will represent Selma:
 W. R. Peacock, chairman; V. B. At kins, E. Lamar. J. P. Schuh, H. Elias berg, B. J. Schuster. Robert Coleman, A. l.. Mcleod. J. B. Ellis c. H. Rettew, A. W. Cawthon, D. c. Melvin, E. F. Ullman, L. M. Hooper. F. M Stillwell The many friends of John c. O'Rourke, chief clerk in the Southern Railway freight office here, were sur prsied today, when 1t became rumored that he had resigned his position effec- tive November IS.
 Mir. O'Rourke is a brother of Dan ORourke, commercial agent of the Att lanta and West Point Railroad. and has been in the service of the Southern for number of years. and has held his present position for about a year. He has not yet decided what business he will enter but. in all probability will associate himself with Selma commer- cial firm.
 The Street Fair which has been holding forth here this week, has been practically paralySed the past two days on account of the incessant rain. The crop of dust which has been pro- pagating, without interruption. for the past three months. has given place to mud, which is as abundant as the poli- tical family of the same name in Mary land.

.Uncie Josh, at the BiIou

A good sized audience saw the first performance of Uncle Josh Spruceby," the Bijou Theatre last night. and ap- peared to enjoy the entertainment.
 The play is the same in It's leading details as the traditional rural drama companies since time immemorial and which never seems to tire the theatre going public. The scenes are. of course, laid in the New England coun- York city where. as you must know without being told, that a daughter of the lead. has been lured by a heartless wretch
 Thirteen people, headed by David B Kennedy in the title role, compose the company presenting Uncle Josh"
 The work of MT. Kennedy was good and was naturally more finished than that of any of the other members of
 Sara Treadwell as Nancy, the daugh- ter of Uncle Josh Is pretty, but she was guilty last night of declaiming break into "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight" wifh slight effort Miss Treadwell could improve her method.
 The other members held up their re- spective ends of the performance in good style.
 The specialties introduced during the progress of the performance were of average merit and pleased.
 The company carries a good orches- tra, the members of which serve to draw crowds during the day by parad- ing the streets as comical brass
 Uncle Josh spruceby'' is not misrep- resented. It is just what 1t pretends to be and 1t is an entertainment that appeals to large class of theatre-go- CTS.
 The play will be repeated tonight and again tomorrow matinee and night.

FOOTBALL TOMORROW
ONLY ONE BIG GAME IS NOW
 SCHEDULED.
Alabama and Georgia VIII Play at rus caloosa-Post-season Contest Between Vanderbilt and
 Auburn is Assured.

Few football games of importance will be played on Southern gridirons tomorrow. A number of the colleges having off Saturdays. preparatory 10 the big battles of November l2.
 In fact there is only one game Tn Dixie land, which promises to De SUD bornly contested. This game VIII pc played at Tuscaloosa and the UniVer- stiles of Alabama and Georgia will De the oontending colleges.
 Both institutions have unusuaiiy strong teams this season and both are undoubtedly anxious for victory. Ala bama will strive her mightiest to do 70 the University of the rival State what Auburn did to the Tech School Of Geor- gia- Georgia will want to play her fiercest to draw line on the probable outcome of its Thanksgiving Day con- fest at Macon.
 There is no decisive line to be drawn between the strength of the two teams. Georgia will outweigh Alabama put Georgia has a team practically Of nov ices. while Alabama has number Of veterans in their lineup. Georgia has a Harvard coach. Alabama has a Yale coach and Yale football Is superior to the Harvard tactics.
 Clemson defeated Alabama by three touchdowns and defeated Georgia by two touchdowns, but Alabama has made wonderful strides since the Clem- son battle. Taking everything into consideration, 1t would be far from sur prising to see Alabama down their IT. vals to the tune of one or two touch- downs.
 Burks, Alabama's great half back. has been out of the game for week, but he is expected to appear on the gridiron tomorrow afternoon.
 The post-season game between Van derbiit and Auburn seems assured. Both teams are anxious for the battle and nothing remains but to choose the date and place. Atlanta, Birmingham and Nashville are all pulling hard for the contest and Atlanta seems the choice up to date.
 Should Auburn win their Alabama and Georgia games. the contest would undoubtedly be one of the greatest games in the history of Southern foot ball.
