Golfers to Play IomorroU
 For the Cody Coli Cup.

Owing to the miserable weather of the past few months 1t has been im- possible to have the new eighteen-hole golf links at the Country Club ready in time to play the Christmas handicap on tomorrow. It was the intention to have this handicap initiate the new course. but 1t will be played tomorrow on the, old nine-ho ole links:
 The bad weather of last Christmas prevented the playing of th.s tourna- ment. and the cup that was offered by the club then will be played for tomor- row. Dr. Olin Kirkland. who won the Cody Thanksgiving Cup. will be pen alized six points. His handicap in the Thanksgiving tournament was thirty, and tomorrow 1t will be twenty-four. Judge William H. Thomas, who was tied for second place with pr. George A Dennis. will have handicap to- morrow of seventeen instead of twenty as on Thanksgiving Day. pr. Dennis will have a penalty of five points to- morrow. his handicap being twenty five instead of thirty. There is a great Country Club in reRard to winning the Christmas handicap and after this year the cup will be given by some member of the club. The entries for tomorrow's tournament are:

sun Working h Rock.


 Percy Dawson, manager of the Me- Williams oil. Gas and Mineral Com pany, which Is boring a well at McWil- Hams Station, Wilcox County, for oil was visitor to Selma today. MT. Daw- son said the boring of the well was still going on but that the work was pro- gressing slowly.
 While boring about ten weeks ago the drill encountered hard bed of rock of iron pyrite formation. Since then the work of drilling the we'll has progress ed slowly. Mir. Dawson says the drill has gone eighty feet through this bod of iron pyrite and there is no way of telling how much thicker this forma- ton is. Several times in drilling through this rock, small veins of petro- leum have been struck and it over flowed to the surface. This leads those who are boring the we'll to believe that oil in paying quantities will be encount- cred after the rock has been passed.
 Mir. Dawson said today that during the past few weeks he has given con- siderable time to the study; of log books of wells which have been bored throughout the South. In very few instances he has found where rock as thick as the one in the McWilliams we'll has been encountered. The well has now been bored to depth of near ly 500 feet.

 Selma. Dec. 23.
 In the once of Referee in Bankrupt cy W. J. Campbell this morning a meet ing of the creditors of the Gary-Ke nedy Company was held. Thts com pany was thrown into involuntary bankruptcy about two months ago.
 The meeting of the creditors was not very lengthy one and shortly after the session convened the meeting ad- journed until Monday, January 30.
 The adjournment of the meeting of the creditors was for the purpose of allowing further time for investiga- tion. It seems that the Gary Kennedy Grocery Company made an effort to settle it's indebtedness at the rate of 2s cents on the dollar. Some of the creditors thought they should receive more and asked for time in which to make an investigation.
 Tho liabilities of the Gary-Ker nedy Grocery Company have been placed at about $215.0o0. The assets of the con- cern. 1t is estimated. are t75.ooo.
