 KINs TODAY.

 System.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau.
 Selma, May 13.
 Tomorrow at noon. at the office of Mayor Atkins. on Water street. the bids for the water works bonds Will be opened. The bond issue Is for $150.- 900, and 1t is understood that quite 8 number of bids have been received. These bonds are to be issued for the purpose of purchasing or construct ing a water works plant and will pear interest at the rate of five per cent: per annum, payable semi-annually. ana will run for twenty years.
 There will be proviso in the issue of bonds which gives the city the right to retire them in numerical order aIIer three years from the date of issue. The bids will be for the entire issue or any part thereof and certined check for ten per cent of the amount pio for must accompany the nio. Ihe bonds coupons will be secured oy mortgage on the plant to De purchaseu or constructed and will be exempt from all taxation.
 The regular monthly meeting of the City Council Is also scheduled to pc held tomorrow night. this meeting nerhaps, Mayor Atkins will make report of the bids opened. If the bids received meet the requirements set forth, Mayor Atkins will prooaoly rec commend that the DOuuS pC Sc'N' N'AN recommendation will very hkely pc rat flied by the Council
 Then there will follow the next steps in the matter of the city owning It's own water pant. A tender to the own CT. of the present water works sys- tenn will be made. The city authort- ties have had the plant examined thor oughly by an expert hydrauilc ensF neer and know about it's proper valua-
 
 hut the committee of the City Council which has been working upon the pur- chase or erection of a water plant noes nto think that the entire amounI | of bonds will have to be issued TO build and equip a new water system TOT the city.
 When the election on the bond issue was held a few months ago the ma iority voted in favor of the issue. Citl- zens. as a general rule, think that It Is right that Selma should own its own water system. and think there IS no doubt but what it will prove a wise move if politics do not get mixed up in its management. The committee which has the matter in hand believes that it has provided against this. by having the management placed Tn 'tfie hands of a commission, similar to the sinking fund commission, which now has charge of paying off the pack m debtedness of the city.
 What will be the outcome of the or : fer for the purchase of the present plant is only matter of conJecture' There are some members of the com mittee of the Council who think that there will be some haggling with the owners of the present plant about the price and that finally the city will be. come the owner It Is thought that IT the city erects pant most of the GUS toners of the present system will oe- come customers Of the city system as soon as 1t is finished.

Never Been . PINyel

 l Probably the youngest umpire in pro- | fessional ball is Umpire Buckley, who worked the Birmingham games at Athletic Park and also the Montgom- | cry games in Birmingham when the
 Durrett trouble occurred. While he
 was badly off on balls and strikes that
 Malarky pitched against Sallee still on the whole he made a favorable impress quick and as game as can be, and his average work shows an evident desire Ito be impartial. From his home town l-Rochester. N. Y.-four well Known
 umpires came-Bill Carpenter. the best umpire ever in the Southern League. and now in the National League. Bill
 Kline also in the National 'Silk' iO'Laughiin the famous American League umpire, and Pfenninger now in lthis league. He Is 23 years of age and linstinctively "a gentleman. Before leaving Montgomery the following in Iterview was had with him:
 When I was IS, I started on corner tlots in Rochester. N. Y., and from lthere went to umpiring college ball, and also many contests between rival Independent clubs and in the season of I1905. Mir Farrell See of the National Association signed me on his staff and 1 I. made good. In the season of 1906, II intended going in the Eastern League and was already to sign when Bill Cor lpenter advised me to come South and l so I signed with Judge Kavanaugh, and since doing so am more than pleased with my present berth. and l like the South better than I expected.
