Western Repadring Side Tracks.
Country Reapinig Benefit.

The country mercha uts around Sel- ma are reaping great tsenefit from the establishment of a branch of the Gulf Refining Company in this city. Since the establishment of a branch office here by the Gulf Refining Company, the Standard Oil Company hhs begun de- livering oil by wagon t0 the country merchants in the vicinity of this city. It is stated that 1t is running delivery wagons as far out as twenty-five miles from the city and delivering oil to the country stores.
 The delivery of oil overi such large territory by the Standard oil Company saved for the country merchants quite a neat sum each month, Before the es- tablishment gof the office of the Gulf Refining Company here, the country merchants in the territory surrounding g this city had to have their oil shippel to them and pay the freight.
 There is no rate war on the price of oil between the two companies. the only rivalry seeming to ibe the amount of territory over which oil .an be de- livered to those who want to pur- chase it.

TO BUILD CEMENT PLANT.
SUBSCRIPTION BOOKS WILL BE
 OPENED IN SELMA.
CStise.s Have Conference With Sem ator Morgan and Decide to Form Corporation With Large Capf-
 fal to Make Cement.
Advertiser Bureau,

"a Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Oct. 19.
 Books of subscription for the form- ing of a cement company will be open ed here within the next few days and all who want to invest will be given an opportunity to do so. The opening of the books of subscription for the forming of cement company was the outcome of conference held by sev- eral citizens a few days ago with Sem ator Morgan.
 At this conference, Senator Morgan told of the vast possibilities that he thought in store for this section of the State in the way of manufacturing cement. No country in the world is as rich in cement resources as Ala~ bama, he said, and the supply of the natural deposit is inexhaustible and affords great opportunities to citizens.
 Senator Morgan told the conference that the time for taking advantage or the opportunities that nature had given to the people of the State was ripe. The only cement plant in the State Is operated by English capital and it has proven a paying investment. ce- ment expert was present at the con- ference of citizens, and he backed up the assertions nude by Senator Nor gan.
 A few months atyo an attempt to or-
  made, but for some reason the matter fell through. Money will be subscribed liberally, as the poeople of this city have great faith in the cement possi- bilities of Alabama. The corporation will be the Miona Cement Company, with $1,o00, ,000 or S2,000,000 capital. The plant will be located at Epps Sta tion, which is the hes,rt of one of the richest cement veins i'm the State.
