IT was particularly struck with the SIM

To one accustomed to viewing the pomp
and ceremony which surround the rulers

notable In the entire lack of ostentation
in the Roosevelt family. I was surprised
at Mr.. Roosevelt's habit of inviting to

SELMA IS GOING
AHEAD VERY FAST
Prominent Man of Black Belt
Metropolis Talk
SELMA'S STRONG POSITION
F. M. Abbott Tells of Prosperity in His
sectlon-Farmers Have Diversi-
fled Their Crops and Are
Now Independent.
SELMA'S STRONG POSITION

f. M. Abbott of Selma, was in Birm-
ingham for a short time yesterday and
in talking of his city and section said;
Selma is improving every day, bound
ing a head as never before in her history.
You know we have already one OF the
strongest and most compact cities in
the south. We have men of brains and of
financial strength. whose minds are fill
ed with community pride, and who are
ever active for the advancement and
general welfare of the city and for the
section surrounding us.
Center of Black Belt.
Selma is in the real center OF the
great black belt This expression no
longer has a racial or political meaning
but pertains to the black lands which
produce so abundantly of cotton corn,
the small grains. sugar cane and hay
and these are sustaining the people and
annually adding to their wealth. OF
course lust now our planters are suffer-
ing disappointment at the slump in the
cotton market but they will pull through
all right. They have diversified their
crops and are quite independent.
"Our great river is our safeguard
| from a transportation point of view. 1t is
q great feeder to Selma, giving us
commanding position as a trade center.
Our river trade is immense. The one thing
mostly desired by Selma at this time is
a short and direct railroad to Birming-
ham through the Cahaba valley touching
the great coal and iron fields.
Railroads can dump their products
on boats at Selma every day in the year
and float the freight to the Mobile
docks"
Wide Awake Man.
Mr. Abbott is one of the wide awake
| prosperous men from the north, who
| came south some years ago and located
| at Selma, where he has proven himself
| a most potent factor 4 the development
of that section. He has the management
! OF the electric street car system of his
city and is largely interested In subur-
ban growth. He is reaching out for
"Greater Selma" and has made marked
progress along that line
He is also interested in agricultural ad-
vancement, and is the possessor OF a
fancy farm, where ho is demonstrating
the adaptability of soil and climate to
INTENSE" farming, to fruit growing cat
tie and poultry raising.

Old Man for Superintendent

aomery County.

Montgomery, December Z (speciaD.-
Judge ]. M. Carmichael, president Of the
state convict board, is quietly conducting
an investigation of all the contractors
who worked convicts on Thanksgiving
day. and failed to provide them with
something special in the way of dinner.
It is reported that one of the offending
contractors came to Montgomery since
the publication of President Carmichaers
remarks about working convicts on
Thanksgiving day and received very cold
comfort Nothing is learned from the
convict department, however
Over against the failure of some con-
Wet hiring firms to provide extras on
Thanksgiving is the action of some who
wished to fully obey the letter and the
spirit of the law. From one of these,
President Carmichael has received the
following, to him, very cheering letter:
..Hon. ]. NJ. Carmichael Montgomery,
Alabama.
Dear Sir: I notice In your report to
the governor that some contractors for
greed of money, worked their convicts
on Thanksgiving day. This was not the
case with us-we gave them that day as
the law requires and a good dinner. 1
notice also from calendar for December,
1904, that Christmas comes on Sunday.
The convicts are entitled to all Sundays,
and 1 am going to knock my convicts off
from work Friday night, and give them
lot {,,l- |,
are entitled to this, as they have given
me a good years work. The following
will be the menu for their Christmas
dinner. Fresh pork, chicken, rice, peas,
turnip greens, beans, corn bread, flour
bread, cakes, bananas, apples, oranges,
nuts, candy. raisins and cigars, and
twenty-five cents each in cash. Also q
small dram with your consent"
The letter pleased President Carmichael
so much. he sent at once the following
reply:
Dear sir: I have just received your
note in relation to Thanksgiving Day,
and to what you propose to do on Christ
mas Day and Sunday. l knew you were
not guilty of disergarding the law, for
If you have ever been, since we have had
any connection with you, did not know
1t. 1 very much appreciate your letter. In
fact, l would not take $25 for 1t this
morning, because 1t gives me additional
evidence Of the fact that we are dealing
with a man who has a kind heart and
can sympathize with the unfortunate,
and without consulting you, 1 am going
to allow 1t to be published. l am with
holding, however, your name. Now, in re-
spect to the DRAM will consider that
later. In everything else you are right,
and you have my best wishes for happy
Christmas, and for success in your bus
mess"
