SNOW HILL FIRM
 HAS SAFE ROBBED Big Cement Plant to Go Up
 Near Selma HAS LARGE DAILY CAPACITY Selma Cotton Market Was DemOralzed Yesterday By the Bureau Report
 and Subsequent Decline.
 Farmers Win Hold On.
HAS LARGE DAILY CAPACITY

Selma, December 3.--(Speeial)- )-Informa- tion reached the city this morning of the robbery of the safe of the firm of R. o. Simpson X Sons at Snow HiIl in Wilcox county The firm is one of the largest in that section, and while the amount of money secured was not given there is req son to believe that not a small amount was. secured.
 Sheriff Blackwell was asked to send the Dallas county dogs, and they were sent down on the morning train in charge of Deputy Sheriff Townsend. A telegram re- ceived after the dogs had started stated that rain had fallen and it was not thought they would be able to get any trail
 The safe was blown open and wrecked and the burglars are thought to have been adopts in their business. A close look out is being kept for them.
 The Cement Plant.
 c. M. Atehison, president of the cement company which has purchased the proper ty of J. r. Milhous. near orrville, au- thorlzes the statement that at an early date work will begin on erecting the plant which will bc located within twenty miles of Selma. The capacity of .he plant will be 100 barrels a day and over 200 men will be employed.
 The company has been organized under the laws of Maine and has an authorized capital of $2 O000O0. Further particulars of the enterprise will be given out later.
 The Cotton Situation.
 The bureau report and the subsequent decline in the price of cotton demoraliz- ed the cotton market in Selma today. There are over 10000 bales of cotton be- ing held here and the offers from the buyers of 71s cents was spurned. Those who are compelled to have money will probably sell their cotton but the ma jority of the farmers who still have any of the staple will hold 1t until a bet ter price prevails.
 There has been received in Selma since September 1, so, 726 bales of cotton against 64567 up to the same date last year, Over 100000 bales are confidently looked for this season in Selma.
