More Willing to subscribe.

A typograohica error in The Adver- ttser this morning made story state that two prominent and wealthy citi- gems had signified their willingness to subscribe $50 each towards Selma s getting a franchise and team in the Cotton States League next summer. It should have been stated that these two citizens expressed a willingness to subscribe $500 each towards such an undertaking.
 The movement towards securing a franchise in that league for this city next summer met with the hearty ap7 proval of all lovers of the game here today.
 During the day a number of other citizens expressed a willingness to give various amounts towards such an undertaking and 1t now seems that the question of securing a franchise in the Cotton States League wih not lack financial backing.

PREPARE FOR FAIR
CENTRAL ALABAMA ASSOCIATION

Expected that Exposition to Be Opened in October win Be a Pronounced
 Success fn Every
Advertiser Bureau.


 Selma. Aug. IS. The work at the fair grounds. where the second annual exhibition of the Central Alabama Fair Association will be held during the week beginning oc- tober S0th, is progressing rapidly. Many improvements are being made, and by the time the date for the throwing open the gates arrives. everything will be in readiness for gala week. One of the many improvements being made is the enlarging of the grand stand The stand Is being extended. and an addition built which will seat 500. With this addition, the grand-stand will comfortably seat at least 2,000 persons. The fair was such a success last fall 1t is ex- pected that during the coming exhibi- ton the grand-stand will be crowded every afternoon and night
 The grand-stand for coiored people has been moved a little to the west from where 1t formerly stood. It Is also being made more comfortable.
 c.he anticipated Judges stand across the track has been torn down. In its place new and more modern stand vii. be erected just in front of the grand stand. This new stand will be built so that it will not interfere with the view.
 Many additional stalls for the hous- ing of live stock will be erected be- tween now and the opening of the fair. From al; counties of i = section the enicers of the Fair Association are re- ceiv.ne letters asking about live stock and agriculture exhibits. and the indi- cations are that there will be twice as many exhibits this fall as there were during the fair held here last year. Another flight of stairs to the second floor of the agriculture hall will be added. A new fence is also being put around the grounds and other neces- sary improvements will be made. Within the next few days many thousand catalogues containing list of the premiums offered will be mailed. The catalogues this year have been gotten up in a most attractive style. w. c. Agee. Superintendent of the Mer- chants Department. has received many letters from manufacturing concerns asking for space in that department of the fair, and this branch of the fair this fall promises to be much larger than 1t was last year.
 The horse show promises to be a much more attractive feature. For the horse show there will be built large tan bark arena and many large arc flights will be used to make it as bright as artificial lights can make It. Par- ticular attention will be paid to the races which will be held each after noon. As running races are more pop. ular than trotting or pacing races, q | larger number of those on the pro. gram each afternoon will be of the running variety.
