 Selma. Dec. 1.--fSpecial. )--Dr. c. E. Neson, of Manila. Philippine Islands spent Tuesday in Selma. and while here Inspected several sites for the erection thereon of an evaporated cream fac tory
 pr. Neson was formerly connected with the United States Government in the Philippine Islands. He speaks well of the rapid growth of the islands and of what a great benefit they will eventually be to the United States. He said that there was not a dairy on tke Philippine Islands and that the inhab- ftants have depended upon the other countries of the world for the evapo- rated cream which they have been us- ing for several years past. Since the passage of the recent tariff bill. he said. the duty upon evaporated cream to the Philippine Islands had been raised so high that only the manufacturers in the United States could ship 1t there and that this country was not manu- featuring enough of the cream at pres ent to supply the demand
 Dr. Neson is now on his way, back to the Philippine Islands. but before sailing Is making a tour through the Southern States for the purpose of in- teresting capitalists In the manufac- ture of evaporated cream. Such facto- ries he said should be located in sec tfons where only the richest grass grows, and where there are number of dairies. He was we'll pleased with the conditions of these things in and around Selma and stated that some of the finest grass he had ever seen was growing in this section.
 The Selma neighborhood. he thought would be an ideal place for the loca- tion of such factory. While in Sell ma pr. Neson was shown several To- cations for such plants as he is inter- ested in by real estate men. and ex- pressed himeslf as being pleased with the locations. It is thought that he has interested a number of Northern capitalists in the manufacture of evap- orated cream and that on his tour through the South he win select loca- tfons for several such plants.
 Dr. Neson thought that the comple- tion of the Panama Canal in the next few years would greatly facilitate the shipping of the product of these facto- ries to the Philippine Islands. With the completion of the canal he was of the opinion that the number of such factories in the South would increase as the demand for their product would continue to Increase each year.
 While in Selma DrI Neson interested 6 number of citizens in the manufac- ture of evaporated cream. Those in- terested may within the next few days take some action in the matter of form ing company and starting a plant in Selma for It's manufacture.
 Fifth Attempt to Wreck Train.
 The fifth attempt to wreck a train on the Southern Railway at Brantley switch, six miles north of Selma. was made last night As in the previous attempt 1t was unsuccessful.
 The four trains which previous at- tempts have been made to wreck have all been passenger trains from Rome and from Birmingham coming into Selma. Last night the attempt was made to wreck freight train The train was coming to Selma late, and when Brantley's switch was reached the engineer discovered that the switch there had been changed and he was running into the siding.
 The train was quickly slowed down of cars which were on the side track.
 Since the first attempt several months ago detectives of the railroad have been unable to fasten the crime upon anyone but are hopeful that they will eventually capture the ones who have been trying to wreck the trains.
