BUSINESS MEN ENCOURAGED OVER
 SITUATION.
Prospects For The Fall Trade Are Very Gooa--Ofher News
 of The Central
 City.
Advertiser Bursau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma. July IS.
 Ins business interests of Selma are well pleased with the prospects for the coming Tall and winter. The business men believe that the trade this fall will be greater than 1t has been for several years past, and all are making preparations for the handling of a large volume of business,
 Upon every hand this roseate view of the future is being takcn by men who are in business.
 The indications for a prosperous fall trade and return to prosperity was never brighter in Central Ala karna. Every branch of business has improved considerably during the past few weeks and people find no difficulty in getting employment.
 The only place in the city that does not show any indications of the re- turn of prosperity is at the shops of the Southern Railway.
 At these shops only a small force of men are at v crk. There has been persistent rumors for some weeks past that the full force of skilled mechanics would soon be put back to work at the shops, but as yet this runnor is without foundation. A similar rumor has been afioat also as regards to the restoring of some of the trains on the Southern Railway which were pulled or some months ago. But this latter rumor, like the one regarding the put ting back to work the men at the shops Is unconfrmed.
 The indications throughout Central Alabama for good cotton crop is pro- nounced most favorable. From all parts of the county the reports come that the cotton prospects are much better than usual. In some sections though the crop needs rain. but other wise the weather conditions have been most favorable.
 The positive location here Of two fertilizer mixing mills and third con- cern seeking location. has also help ed to brighten the future prospects of selma Other small industries. which are being sought by the Commercial and Industrial Association. may also locate and erect plants here during the coming winter months.
 Another indication of the bright fu- ture before the city is that of the building boom which Is now on here. In every part of the city the noise of the hammer and saw can be heard, for there is being built everywhere a large number of cottages and residences.
 Tn the business part ofNthe city there is being completed the handsome three story Cawthou building on Alabama Street. while just half block below the Cawthon building a large number of men are at work upon the Federal building. 't'

JOUSY LIKE OLD
TIME KNIGHTS
X. of G. Team Defeats Elks in
Hard Fought Game.
Sweet Charity Benefited by Baseball
Game at League Park Nester-
day Afternoon.
WINNING RUN MADE IN NINTH

Like knights of Old the Knights OF
Columbus baseball team conquered
the Elks yesterday afternoon, with a
|score of s to Z, but the game was
only won after the hardest kind OF
playing. At four different times the
game was a tie, and this kept the
crowd on edge throughout the con-
test. and to cap 1t of the Elks worked
"a man on third sack during the ninth
inning, but three men went down,
and left the last straw on base.
The game was a good one for am
ateur teams. although no record was
kept of the boobies in handling hot
grounders. Both teams were weak
in the back stopping work, because
the two players who handled the big
nit yesterday do not pose as back
stop artists. The throwing to second
station was woefully weak. and good
runners walked to second and spurted
TO third at will. The outfielders OF
both teams played too far back, as
though all OF the batters were slug
gers. As a result the outfelders
reached most of their flies on bounce
and this made hits against the
pitcher.
For the Elks the bright star was
Robertson, whose work at short was
fast. accurate and clever, and at the
bat he knocked out three clean hits
out of four times at the pan. Sutton
pitched a good game, and IL ever a
pitcher deserved to win. II was he
His curves were good and besides fine
headwork, he made several stops OF
lnfield balls. Barringer on second
base also did splendid work, and he
slapped his NIT on apparently safe
drives with ease. In the X. of c. line
up Donovan put up a nice game will
the stick, while o. Hofiich and T. Ho
fitch could always be relied upon tC
start something in the batting line
Flanagan on first sack scooped EN-
out of the dust and scraped 'em from
the sky with his mitted hand. Theo
bold retired as pitcher In the third
inning owing to an injured arm, anS
he was succeeded by T. Honich. Botl
twirlers we're on their edge.
The hair raising finish came in tn
final round with the score a tie. TIT
X. of C.'s were at bat first and Dono
van was given a ticket TO first station

He swiped second, and Flanagan hit
to left for two bags, as Donovan
raced home with the winning count.
The other batters were outs and the
Elks came in with bruised horns, and
started in to make II tie, at least.
Goodman was soaked in the ribs and
he trotted to first Robertson adj
vanced him to second on a neat sac
rlfice. Head hit to Flanagan, and
Goodman was sacrificed to third base.
Wolff came to bat and after fouling
several times, hit a measley one TO
the infield and was out.
The game was played for the bene-
1T of the Home of the Friendless and
about 800 people were out.
