 This game with tue Selma aggregs- ton has been looked forward to for some time.s as Physicei Director Hallou of the Selma r. M. C. A says he has one of the fastest teams in the State. He says that he has light team, q team very similar to that which represeDted the Columbus Ga, Y. M. c: 4. on the floor last yeat, and one which will be .caunted upon to give any team ip the state a good battle. Selma did not play many games last year. but the games played found the Selma boys always on the winning side. The. team has been worked into shape for this game with Montgomery and the Selma rooters confidently expect the team to return home, vic- tors over the team which will repre- sent Montgomery in the Southern league.
 The local Y. M. C. A. will have a team which will probably be the fast est in the South this year. The team was green one last season and ct that was able. to run third among the teams of this section of the country and with the year of added experiences there should not be anything In the South to. even touch the team.

RULES NOT FOR
C0UNC|LMEN

E. w. M. Newman, E717 Indiana
av., was caught sprinkling by
hand at 10 a. m. one day since the
new sprinkling rules went into eff
feet. He went down to the city
hall to square himself and to ex-
plain that he had not heard of the
new rule arbitrarily made by the
board of public works.
Seeing Councilman Baldwin
there he tried to. explain his
plight, but Baldwin couldn't seem
to hear him.
Later this gentleman and an
other saw an automatic sprinkler
running at 4:45 p. m. at Council
man Baldwin's residence near
Washington and Fourth. 1t is
claimed that the sprinkler has been
running regardless of rules there
for three days.
Being a councilman appears to
be almost as prolific of favoritism
and illegal discrimination as own
ing White City site.

ONE MOTHER GA We BIRTH TO SO
LONG BEFORE ROOSEVELTS TIME

Perhaps you are one of those
folks who believe with Pres. Roose-
welt in anti-race suicide.
Perhaps, being married, you
have practiced as you preach, and
you have three or four Riddles at
home.
Oh. they are a great care! Well
worth 1t, you and your other half
agree, but-gee, it's a lot of work
and worry to raise a family of
four or five or seven children!
Now, then, hold your breath
what do you think of a woman
who bore rs children in 20 years,
including four pairs of twins? Her
name was Berry and she lived in
London in 1865.
How about a countrywoman of
hers who had Is boys, then Is
girls?
Or Lady Elphinstone, another
daughter Of Britain, and a mother
of 36. Only q of them grew up,
but Helen Urquhart of Cromarty
castle, Scotland, raised all her SO
to mature age. Many of the rs
boys became men of distinction,
and all the II girls married and
had large families.
Consider Donahg O'Carroll and
his wife, who reared 80 sons, and
when the youngest was big
enough, presented the outfit, fully
mounted and accoutered as troop
of cavalry to the earl of Ormonde.
And still these are not the big
gest families. Munseys Scrap
Book, which has delved deeply
into birth statistics, tells in an ar
ticle about Thos. Greenhill, sur
geon, who, in 1898, obtained a
special coat of arms from the
Heralds college on the ground that
he was the seventh son and thirty
ninth child of one father and
mother. Nicholas Hooker, who
died in Wales In 1887, was the
forty-first child of his parents, and
had q children. Dionora Saliva
tt, an Italian noblewoman of sew
eral centuries ago, bore So chill
dren-one set of sevtuplets, all of
rest triplets save one child.
But the worlds record-that
belongs to Feodor Wassiliev, a
Russian peasant. His first wife

and the Independent scavengers.
The council will referee. Indica-
lions are that Supt. A. w. Merritt
of the crematory department will
be put upon the griddle by certain
of the councilmen who have per-
sonally investigated the charges of
the independents, who claim that
the city cleaning as conducted I'M
der Merritt is done In an unsan-
itary manner and at higher prices
than charged when the indepen-
dents were in the field
Supt. Merritt will reply to the
charges with affidavits of residents
who will disprove all of the asser-
tons of the Independents. Mer-
rift will not say just who have
signed the affidavits or divulge
their contents.
An ordinance prohibiting private
scavengers and leaving the crema.
tory without opposition for bust.
ness Is before the council now.
Wednesday night has been espe.
cially set aside to scrap out the
differences.
