and Others. The Anti Meeting.

"
/ Since the last issue of The Re-
corder the campaign for and
against prohibition has been on
in earnest and it is safe to say
childthat every..man, woman and
have had a word to say about the
question that is being voted upon

for the cause of prohibition
could be heard at almost any
place, but the principal occasions
were Sunday afternoon and last
night, when DR.. Kilgo and Mrs.
Curtis, addressed the voters of
the town and county. =..
A large crowd of men and
women filled the Academy Sum-
day afternoon to hear DIR. John
G. Kilgo, and his speech was all
that the admirers of him had
expected. sa<
Monday afternoon about one
thousand women and children
met at Trinity Methodist church
and watched up Main street,
which made a very imposing |
spectacle.
Last night at Parrish ware
house it was estimated that five
thousand or more men women
and children were present at the
final rally. Music was furnished
by the Third Regiment Band,
of Raleigh, and the principal
was Mrs. Mamie Curtis. |
Other short speeches were made
by local speakers and the large
crowd che sred each utterance in i
favor Of their cause.
THE ANTI MEETING. i
The final meeting of the Anti
Prohibition forces was held at |
the Academy of Music last night. |
Music was furnished for this oc-
casion by a portion of the Third

NEW CENSUS TODAY
ENUMERATORs WILL. BEGIN NEW
 COUNT.
Board Has. Asked People to Co-PPerete , ln Making of m Accurate and
 Full Count.

Today the school census win begin. s S. Higgins. who Is actively in charge of the work. being assisted by four men The city wiIls be divided by Perry Street. two men to each side: Mr Higgins will make up the reports as the work is brought in
 The taking of the censds must be finished by Sept IS. and. therefore. the city commissioners have asked that every assistance be given the men on the work.
 The reported shortage of nearly a thousand pupils from the list taken last year would mean arloss of several thousand dollars from the State ap- propriation and for this reason the work Is being done over. @
 Of the total amount available for the. educationa work $7S.0O0. the city contributes $6O.00O; so the loss nf. say. $5.000 from the State appropriation would reduce the outside help to a paltry $13,000.
 With many families moving into the city from all parts of the state. the fewer and fewer, and the seen Increase last year in the number of school chill dren. the idea of more than 300 being counted out Is absurd.
 The men taking the census are paid according to the, names. verified, they bring in. and the authorities are at q loss to find a reason tor the first rec ported loss. The work of the present men is going to be watched with in- terest. and that the result will show an increase in the number of educable children instead of a decrease ill moi come as surprise.

Elmer Bliss yesterday put c first crimp in any hope the, Memphii may have had for winning the pennant In this seasons race.

As a matter of fact. however very little ineonveni- ence and transferring was done in view of the large job of tearing up the street and paving 1t with asphalt. The great trouble has been at the switch where tho great number of patrons of the Cloverdale. line have had to walk block and where in all probability they will have to walk the same block for another week
 The paving work on Hull Street has progressed very favorably. The city and the paving company arc hurrytnE to have one-half of the street paved from South to Fielder Street so that it can be opened to the public on that half while Che other half Is being done. There remains now only two blocks and half of this big stretch to be done.

MEETING IS CALLED

 NfRht--Ncyvs of the Central

Selma, Aug. 2s.-(Special.) .)--The com mittee on Hygiene of the city council which is composed of councilmen F. c. Jones. R H. Burhtt and J. W. Mar shall. through Mayor V B. Atkins, has issued call to the property owners of the northern part of the city to as- semble in mass meeting at the city hall Wednesday night. August 26.
 The meeting has been called for the purpose of. considering and discussing the question of the, putting in of large and long sewer through the northern part Of selma. 5s.s
 The putting la of this sewer will not only prove benefcial to the health of the large number of residents of that section. but will also prove beneficial, to the health of every resident. The city proposes to run this sewer down First avenue from about Green street to Valley creek. a distance of nearly a mile j The section of the city which will be traversed by the sewer is very popu- 'l66s and City Engineer Smith has fig- ured that it can De put in at cost of about $Io to each house abutting on the sewer.
 Besides the large number of people who live in that part of the city the new sewer will prove of great benefit to the recently erected Selma Military Institute and also 10 the two negro colleges the Payne University and the Selma University.
 The citizens meeting will be for the purpose of getting the property own CTS and residents of that section 10 express their views upon this. import ant improvement which the city is about to begin. IL is not believed that any opposition will be developed at the meeting against putting in the sewer as all of the property owners and resi- dents know that 1t will be beneficial to them
 The expense to the property owners will be very little as each one will be taxed about sl0 and which they will be given two years to pay.

In catching a baseball dropped from the ton of the Washington monument, Charles Street, of the Washington club. did as much work as he would have performed in lifting an eighty pound weight two feet. theoretically consid- cred The figures would be slightly reduced by the resistance of the air to the downward progress of the ball. a factor which has not been. allowed for On the, same basis. the impact of the sphere in his glove was equivalent to that of a seventeen pound. weight drop ped from a height of 10 feet.i
 The velocity of the ball when it reached him was. neglecting the air re- sistance, ISs feet per second. or about 12s miles per hour and the apparent size of the rapidly descending sphere was slightly greater than that Of fui grown mosquitos
