 Selma. March f.
 Hon. R. H. Mangum. Secretary of the Central Alabama Fair Associa- ton, and H. M. Smith, member of the Board of Directors of the same as- sociation, returned this morning from Nashville. Tenn. where they went to attend meeting of the Southern Fair Circuit. The meeting was well at tended and considerable business was transacted at the session. The south ern Fair Circuit is composed of cities in Alabama. Georgie, Tennessee and Kentucky. While 1t is not definitely known as yet, it Is very probable that the date for the holding of the fair in this city will be the<last week of October.
 Beyond doubt the most important business transacted at the meeting was a provision for the extensive ad- vertising of the fairs of the circuit and In that way attract a large number of horses whose owners will enter them in the races It was agreed to offer stakes for two and three year old trotters and pacers, entries for the same being about $40o which will be closed May 2. Purses are to be of 2.21 class and the entries for these will also be closed May 2. The miHi- mum for purses. were fixed at $25o.
 Besides the trotters and pacers purses will also be offered for a mum Der of running races The matter of having horse shows at night was also taken up at the meeting and as this feature Of the fairs proved a drawing card last fall there is but little doubt that again this fall they will be a regular feature.
 The Central Alabama Fair Associa- ton have already begun to make prep arations for the fair that will be held t.a 4l.f nff fn h. fufr fC year will be larger and better and will be advertised more extensively and there is no doubt that a much Iarzer crowd will attend.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Elizabeth Times,
The members of the city council
are to be complimented upon their
unanimous passage of a resolution
declaring against the adoption of a
pending legislative bill providing
councilmanic salaries of $500 in cit
les the size of Elizabeth. 1t was a
sensible and, wlthal, a graceful ac-
ton, for it relieved the Board of
Trade of any embarrassment that
might have been involved in that
body's consideration of the same
matter. Councils action settled the
question for the time being, as far as
Elizabeth is concerned. The mem
bers of council by no means intended
to convey the idea that they regard
ed a stipend of half a thousand per
annum as beneath their notice, but
that they did feel, in view Of the To-
cal demand for the strictest econo-
my, the payment of an unnecessary
$4,000 additional by the city would

mand that the men elected to legisla-
tive positions represent them and not
the corporations. Well may they be
frightened, but the opportunity is
still open for them to get under cover.
There is the Roosevelt spirit in ma
tional affairs and the Colby spirit in
state politics. These men are standing
with the people against the corpora
tons and trusts. Wise is he who
heeds the handwriting on the wall.

constitute a burden which the aver
age taxpayer would not support with
a great deal of satisfaction. The al
dermen looked at the salary bill
from the viewpoint of the citizens
at large, and it did not take them
long TO come to the conclusion that
the application of the provisions of
such q measure would be decidedly
unpopular here in Elizabeth.
in acting as they have, our coun-
cilmen have shown a spirit that re-
fleets great credit upon themselves
and, also, the community which they
represent. We're this spirit shown
everywhere and at all times, our
cities would certainly be much better
governed. This is the spirit which
always sacrifices private or political
advantage to the common good. I'm
fortunately, its existence is not al
ways apparent; in some cities, in
fact, such civic generosity hardly
ever. manifests itself.
