ARTILLERY COMPANY
SELMA BATTERY CHANGES ITS -.. STATUS. "A
Order of Adjutnnt General Graves Converts Battery c Into sea- Coast Company B Capt. W. Fl. LOngcrier to be
 fn Command.

An order went forth Tuesday from the office of Adjutant General Bibb Graves converting Battery c. Field Artillery. Alabama National Guard, located In Selma. into a seacoast com will probably remain intact and will conform to the tactics as laid down for seacoast services
 The action of General Graves was due to his being unable to make ar engagements with the War Depart ment at Washington for the full equipment of the Selma artillery bat tery as such. The War Department was willing, however to furnish all coast company of artillery and these towns were agreeable. Hence. the order of the Adjutant General.
 The conversion makes two seacoast companies of artillery at taehed to the Alabama National Guard. Only a few months ago the Mobile battery was charged by order of the Adjutant General into such an organization and has been known ever since as Company A. The Selma organization has been designated as Company B, Seacoast Artillery.
 The most modern equipment in the gift of the War Department will be sent to the new company at Selma and it is understood that the new or der will coincide pretty well with the wishes of the men formerly compps- ing Battery c. The commanding of ficer of the new company will be Captain W. II. Longcrier, the com mander of the old Battery c.
 This order leaves now but two field batteries of artillery in the militia of the State. They are Batteries B, of

The property has been called the most beautiful lot in Montgomery.
 The Grand Lodge of Alabama will pay $19,000 for the lot, which has for some months been owned by ]. c. Haas the well-known business man of Montgomery. A fine old brick ante bellum home sits upon 1t, but this will be torn down when the Grand Lodge starts to building. The building for many years was the home of Judge J. B. Gaston. Probate Judge of Mont gomery County. A year ago the place was sold by Judge Gaston to MT. Haas and Judge Gaston purchased a beauti- full home at Cloverdale.
 The lot in question Is opposite the Dexter Avenue ethodist Church. It Is one block east of the Federal Build ing and The Advertiser office. The lot is 80 feet wide facing Dexter Avenue and 115 feet deep, running south on McDonough Street. It Is six feet above the sidewalk of Dexter Avenue.
 The two-storied brick building on it was erected in the decade before the war. It was for many years the home of Stephen E. Hutchins, a we'll known druggist of Montgomery. It later passed into the possession of Judge Gaston and was one of the noted homes of the city.
 The purchase price of $19.000 in many cities would have been consid- cred high figure. but in recent years Dexter Avenue property has greatly advanced in value. The original price made by the Committee on Ways and Means from the Grand Lodge was much higher. The committee looked at the lot longingly. The committee men were convinced that that particu- lar lot was the best lot in the whole State of Alabama for the building of the Pythian Temple. but the price. to them, appeared too high. Action on the purchase was postponed. The committee, as much as it wanted the lot. did not want to pay too high price for 1t. For three months ,he deal hung fire. Some reduction was made in the price of the lot.
 The committee met Monday in 4Lont- gomery to consider the situation again. All day long the conference was on. After dark an agreement was reached.
 During yesterday the preliminary contracts were drawn up by J. Lee Holloway, representing the Grand Lodge. and Dowdell & Joseph, repre- senting the seller. It was all settled then. The Pythlan Temple was to be locatd on the lot which had so im- pressed the committee.
 It was announced by members of the committee that the active work of building the Temple would hardly be- gin before next Fall.
 Tn selecting the lot. the committee was actuated by the feeling that the

Granted a Patent.


 A. H. Doyle and A. K. Cawthon of Selma have been given the patent rights on an invention which will probably secure for them good re- turns. The patent is a device for reducing the number of men to the strlnglng of telegraph and telephone wires. As wires are strung now a man is neces- sary at the reel to keep the wire from becoming tangled. The device which the Selmians have patented is a reel with an automatic brake. This brake holds the reel when the wire that is being strung is slack and when the wire is pulled by the man sn the pole the brake is released and the reel turns. .-. ri E.s5t..-

FARMING IN DALLAS
BEANS AND PEARS YIELD GOOD
 RETURNS.
NIessrs. Woods, Ellis and Parrish Dern- onstrate What New Crops Will DO--News of the Central
 City.

Selma. Act. 13.-(SpeciaL)-Th suc- cess of three selnaians in growing diff ferent kinds of crops is generally discussed.
 As an experiment T. B. Woods In August planted an acre of ground in snap beans. These beans have now matured. This is the second crop that he has raised this year. From the two crops of snap beans upon this acre MT. Woods has realized more than If two crops of cotton had been raised and half of the last crop of beans has not heen gathered.
 The raising of tive crops of snap beans by MT. Woods was an experi- ment but he intends to put more land in beans next year and he expects to make three crops instead of two. He says that the beans are easy to raise and there Is a ready market for them.
 The other example of prosperous farming in the county is that of rais- ing oceans. Ten years ago ]. B. E1- lis and A. c. Parrish planted twen- ty acre tract of land near Orrville in pecan trees. Since then cotton has a1- so been raised upon this land each year. During the ten years that the pecan trees have been growing they have cost Messrs. Parrish and Ellis just si.000.
 The first crop from these trees will be gathered this fall and it is esti- mated that each tree will bear a bushel of oceans this year. which will total at least 1000 bushels and which will average forty pounds to the bush el. At the lowest estimate the pe- cans will sell at fifteen cents per pound and the crop will amount to about $6.000.
 The yield from the pecan trees will increase as they grow older and the pecan grove will prove. a big money making crop for a number of years.
