MOSBY OFF TO MOBILE
OLD CAVALRY HEADER ON A 20.
 LITICAL MISSION.
It fs Believed That He Is InvestigRting the Standing of Government 0aiieialn for President
 Roosevelt.

Colonel John s. Mosby, the famous Confederate onieer who has been in Montgomery several days on B private mission for the Department of Justice. left yesterday morning for Mobile He will return to Montgomery Saturday.
 Government officials in Montgomery believe that Colonel Mosby came to Alabama as the personal agent of President Roosevelt to secure infor- nation for the guidance of the Presi- dent in making appointments in this State. The old cavalry officer Is a warm friend of President Roosevelt and 1t is said that his advice and recommendation will have great infu- ence with the President in Southern appointments.
 It is common gossip in official cir- cles that Colonel Mosby has gone to Mobile to make a quiet investigation of the charges which have been pre- ferred against Major w. F. Tebbetts, Collector nf the Port. The term of Major Tebbetts expired on December 19 and he is making a determined fight for his reappointment. The collector is persona non srata with the Presi- dents Alabama referees. Charles H. Scott. of Montgomery and J. o. Thomp- son of Birmingham. National Commit teeman and State chaIrRaan. respec- lively. of the Republican Party. More over. there are several applicants for the Mobile collectorshIp and these will also be investigated by Colonel Mosby, so the story goes.
 Colonel Mosby spent ali of this week In Montgomery except for trips made to Jacksonville and Brewton. where there is complaint about postmasters and where contests are on. He went to these places quietly and 1t 1s sup posed that he secured interesting inc formation for his chief in Washington.
 The visit to Montgomery of Colonel Mosby caused much speculation on the part of Federal oficeholders. They he- lieYe that the representative of the President was here chiefly to inquire into the capabllity of District Attor- ney Warren s. Reese and United States Marshal L. J. Bryan. These offices are two of the plums that are to he distributed by the President early in next wear and some of the knowing ones think that Mir. Reese and Captain Bryan are on the anxious bench.
 Whatever the mission of Colonel Mosby. he has kept quiet tongue and few. If any. of the office holders know what he has accomplished.

Editor Hunter h sslma.


 John s Hunter. editor of The Will cox Progressive Era of Camden, spent today in the city on business. He will return to Camden Friday morning.
 Editor Hunter, who Is one of the most progressive citizens in Wilcox County, says that the growth of Cam den and of the smaller towns and com- munIties of that County is nothing short of marvellous. Camden, he says. will soon be the size of Selma and will claim as much attention from the Ju- dietary of the State as this city is now claiming. While a great many Of the people in that County are holding their cotton, according to Editor Hunter. there are great many who lave dis posed of their production of tne sea- son and so far have not complained so much of the low price. Tn most eases the planters of that section are in such good financial positions that they don't miss so much the lack of cotton money.

CAMPAIGN WARNS UP

 MUNICIPAL CONTEST.

 Re UnoppOsed.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau. Selma. Feb. ]. Contrary to expectations of 8 few weeks ago, the municipal campaign Is growing interesting. Candidates have been announcing every day the past week and from present indications the weeks will show that nearly every can- didate with the exception of Mayor V. B. Atkins and Chief of Police Walters will be opposed. including the members of the City Council.
 So far, the incumbents in the ofices Of Mayor. Chief Of Police, Tax collec tor, City Physician, Market Clerk and City Sexton are unopposed but the de- velopments of the next few days are uncertain, and it is supposed that there will be opposition in most of those of- fices.
 Bamberger win probably run for Councilman from the First Ward.
 Most of the city officials are candi- dates for reelection. H. H. Stewart, City Clerk. refuses another term. and 1t Is generally conceded that Ben T.. Toler, who announced few days ago, will succeed him, although it is be- Ileved that he will have opposition.
 This morning the following announc- ed their candidacy for Te-electioni George K. cothFan, for Market Clerk: W. E. callen, for Tax Collector, and Robert Pfeiffer, for City Sexton. Walter Shafer. City, Attorney, will announce in few days for re-elect ton to that office. He will be opposed by Robert c. Young and BilIups Gayle, and possibly others. Mir shafer has been City Attorney several years, and while officially serving the city, has made many friends. Undoubtedly he has made the most active City Attor- ney Selma has ever had. The men opposing him are popular. and 1t now appears that the race for the oflee of City Attorney will be the most inter- esting of the campaign.
