HARD CASH AT THE WHARF

Selma, October s.-(special)-Three OF four industrial enterprises are likely to be established In Selma before the new year rolls around. For some time the Commercial and Industrial association of Selma was but a name Two years ago. through the energetic action of number of the young business men of the city the association was put upon firm foun- dation and great results have already been achieved for Selma. Lately the scope of the association has been widened. a com potent secretary having been secured who devotes his entire time to the affairs of the city. The results of his efforts are beginning to be felt. Already a stave factory is practically assured and 1t Is believed the latter will be followed by a basket factory.
 The latest enterprise, however, Is a fer tilizer factory. There have been rumors abroad of the establishments of large plant at an early date. In connection with the latter is reported a proposition that was made to the city council at It's meet ing last night. It was not stated to the meeting that the proposition had any, thing to do with the proposed fertilizer factory, but there Is room for the belief that it did. For some time the city of Selma has endeavored to have some one erect a union slaughter house. the prop erty to be owned by the city at the end of len years. It was intimated at the council meeting last night that if the city did not require the slaughter house to be 1,.txv ct- ton would be submitted which it was thought would be agreeable to the city This has led to the conclusion that the same people who expect to put up the fertilizer plant win build the slaughter house so as to use the blood, hair, bones, etc, of the animals. The city claims that the slaughter house itself would be a paying investment. Over six hundred anil mals are slaughtered every month and the fees would make ample revenue.
