Advertiser Bureau. Selma. Nov 2i~ Politics are beginnfug to be talked again in selma. The next election to be held here will be for the purpose of filling the different local offices and while the election is being talked of, it is probable the, campaign win not open in earnest until after the holi- days are oyer, when the voters will have time to discuss the different phrases which vii arise.
 The general election for the differ ent eIty officials will take place May 1. The primary. when the candidates for the different offices will he nominated. will be held in March, or April, as 1t Is the general desire to have snort campaign.
 Although the primaries are a long ways on, few avowed candidates are ct work. These candidates are out for the smaller offices and are putting in their time advocating the support nf voters.
 A few months ago it looked as though the payoraiity would be the warm proposition in the election. Then 1t was rumored e number of prominent SeImians would contest for cd since then, and now the point of Interest will center in some other city dface. For the past two terms Mayer V. E. Atkins has held the office of mayor. He has made capable ana efficient executive. dv IS a business man and his two terms of office have been business Administrations. A hoxseuuence. Selma Is in better finan- eial condition now than In many years. In many other ways Mayor Att kins' administration has reflected credit upon the city.
 The voters nave watched the admin tstrations Hurmount almost impossible obstacles in matters that have proven Of vital importance.
 The most important question of re- cent years that has come to the peo- pio of Selma has been that of the pur- chase of the erection of the eityse own water plant. Backed by council com posed of men of ability the citizens have seen Mayor Atkins engineer this matter, until now It is only a question of few months before the city will be the actual owner of the present plant. or will start work upon new plant

The administration at present, Is working upon an equally important matter. in the paving of the streets, and there Is little doubt that by the time the primaries arrive. tho voters will see the work started upon the two principal thoroughfares of the city
 During the past week many appeals have been made to Mayor Atkins to stand for the third term. The local papers have endorsed these appeals, and his administrations. As Mayor, many of his actions have often been harshly criticised by citizens. But with all criticisms, it Is the general verdict he has made a competent executive, and for that reason. he IS being urged for the third term.
 There is little doubt that pressure 50 great will be brought to bear upon the Mayor that he will be forced to consent to stand for the third term. If he consens to stand, 1t is doubtful that he will have opposition. His strength is growing daily
 while the office of Mayor has been the principal feature of political gos- sip the other city officers lave come in for their share. For nearly every city ofice, 1t Is understood, there will be two or more candidates, and the race for these offices promises to prove more interesting.
