Some of the best men of the city, it is now understood, will enter the race for the office. aAd that from now until the election is held politics will be lively in Selma.
 So far two prominent Selmians, Hon. Watkins M. Vaughn and E. Carlisle Jones are being spoken of as candi- dates Both of them are well known attorneys and each has large follow ing. While these two are the only ones mentioned at present in connection with the office of mayor. 1t is estimated that before the campaigns progresses very far that the names of several other prominent citizens will be mentioned in connection with that office,
 The we'll informed in affairs political, assert that there will not be less than four candidates for the office of mayor. The other two candidates are not known at present as they have not signified their intention of making the race, but friends of several are doing all that they can to bring out several well known citizens.
 Tle question OI city -FSCOfuSF ID also being very generally discussed To the list of three candidates who have been mentioned for that office a fourth candidate was made known last night, this being, Hon. E. S. Starr. The people of the city seem to be even- Iy divided upon the matter of the city having a recorder. Many seem to think that there is no necessity for the office and that the mayor can preside over the police court in the future as that official has been doing in the past.
 During the past week it was general ly believed that the recorder for the police cor.t would be elected at the meeting of the city council which is to be held tomorrow night. But now it is believed that this election will not take place tomorrow night and that 1t will be postponed for a month, at least before 1t is held, if 1t Is finally decided to fill the office which Is de- clared by some to be necessary.
