Selma, July l2.
 Selmians generally are greatly pleas ed at the prospects of a company peine organized in this city tomorrow night for the purpose of manufacturing Fort land cement. That at some future date this city will be a great cement centre no one doubts. and there is no cause for doubt to be entertained by the most skeptcal.
 One of the richest beds of cement de- posit In the world Is within few miles of this city. and 1t appears to be in unlimited quantities. This Is the cement deposit on the land Of J. W. Milhous on Saltmarsh Creek. near orr. vile. about fourteen miles west Of Selma. It was the intention of num- Der of Boston capitalists to erect large plant for the purpose of manu- featuring cement on Mir. Mtlhouss place. but for some reason the deal between the capitalists and the owner of the land was never arranged.
 Besides the cement deposit on the plantation of Mir. Milhous. there are number of other cement beds close to the Alabama River near this city. The suppl yof the crude rock from which to make Portland cement Is almost in- exhaustible. and for that reason at some future day this city should be g great cement market.
 Many of the business men of this city are certain that the meeting which has been called by A. c. Parrish. president of the City National Bank, and which will be held at the Hotel Albert to- morrow evening at 6 o'clock. will result In the organization of a company with sufficient capital. MT. Parrish has the reputation of being a worker and not talker, and the business men and citizens of Selma who have money have the greatest confidence in him.
 If the necessary amount of money cannot be raised in this city 1t is be- lieved on account of his standing in the financial world that MT. Parrish will have no trouble in inducing foreign capital to take stock. It Is firmly be- lieved that the company will be organ ized, and as cement can no doubt be manufactured cheaper i'll Alabama than probably any other place in the coun- try 1t will prove a good investment for those who have idle capital.
 Philip Stones Arrest.
 Philip Stone, a young man aDout Zo years old, was arrested at [ o'clock this evening on a warrant sworn out by Chief of Police Walters charging him with grand larceny.
 The warrant was made at the insti- gation of a wholesale grocer on Water Street. It Is claimed that Stone, who works for the commission brokerage firm of Howard and Kornegay. in checking out a carload of meat to Water Street firm came up short sev- eral hundred pounds. The charge up- on which he was arrested. 1t Is stated by those who appear to know. is not the young mans first offense and he may probably be prosecuted on other charges.
 While it was thought by many that Stone was living beyond his salary. he was considered a model young man end he was never seen in bar room or known to have gambled. although he dressed well and was quite promi- nent In younger social circles l.. D. kynard, retail grocer on Washington Street, was also arrested for receiving stolen property tonight, 1t being stated that Stone had sold to him some of the meat that Is missing. It Is also stated that warrants have been sworn out against two other re- tail grocers on the same charge but the police force would not tell who they were tonight until the warrants l had been served
 The charge against Stone and his ar- rest came as a great surprise to his many friends. The young man Is the main support of a widowed mother and his alleged wrong-doing is greatly de- 1 plored.
