 Selma. Feb. 21

Selma, Feb. 21.
 Visitors to Selma from McWflliains, Wilcox county, say that the euthusi- asm of the residents of that locality over the prospective discovery of oil and natural gas isas not abated the least bit within the past few weeks. |. Every citizen of that locality is con- fident that oil will be found in pay ing quantities when the first well has been sunk.
 Today 1t was learned that recently some of the citizens of that communi- ty went to the oil fields at Jennings. La. and secured the services of an oil expert. With this expert they return ed to Wilcox county. The expert spent several days around McWilliams. examining the oil prospect, and 1t is stated that the report he made was most encouraging to the people who had brought him there.
 Upon the report of this expert prep arations for the sinking of tho first well in this new oil territory has been started. The company recently formed, 1t Is said, has entered into contract for the boring of the first we'll and the actual work of sinking this well will be started within the next two weeks or as soon n5 the necessary machinery can be shipped.
 Those who will be interested in the sinking of the first we'll are going to spend considerable money to see if oil and natural gas can be found in that neighborhood in paying qualities. If 1t can be, they will have fortune within their grasp. but If it cannot they will be out only few hundred dollars. But in their minds they do not doubt that both oil and gas sufii- cient to pay them for their trouble will be discovered.

Baseball Prospects

1t looks as if there will be no base- ball in Selma during the coming sum mer months. No interest is being taken in the game. and although the city has chance of getting Into the new Alabama Tennessee League which will be formed in Anniston next Sum day no effort is making to get fran chise in that organization.
 The meeting will probably be held In Anniston Sunday as scheduled and although Selma has been asked to send a representative this city will not be represented when the new league is formed. No one appears to care whether there will be baseball here during the summer or not and there is a strong indication that the only baseball which the citizens will en- joy will be that of reading about games played in other cities.
