Selma, July 21.-(Special.)-T COM
mercial organizations of Montgomery are
working to secure an afternoon schedule
over the Western Railway of Alabama
between that place and Selma and have
taken the matter up with J. p. Billups,
general passenger manager of the West
ern Railway of Alabama. In their efforts
to secure such schedule between Mont
gomery and Selma the commercial organi-
cations of that city will no doubt receive
the cooperation of the commercial Or
ganization and the influence of the busi-
ness men of Selma.
Such schedule, 1t is believed, Will
prove more beneficial to this city than 1t
would to Montgomery. For that reason
Selma hopes that Montgomery will be
able to have new train put on between
the two cities: The management OF the
Western Railway of Alabama is at pres
ent investigating the motor car railway
service with view of putting on such
schedule between Montgomery and Sell
ma. Definite decision regarding this
schedule, it is believed, will be made
shortly. a
Such schedule would not only prove
OF great benefit to Selmians but would
also be taken advantage of by the farm
ers living along the road and the majority
of whom are friendly to this city.

With the change to be made in the
city government. adding somewhat to
the expense of its maintenance, 1t is
probable that the present council before
retiring will take action to lower the
salary of the mayor. This official now
receives $1,000 a year, and as ne will
have fewer duties under the new code
and will not be called upon to attend the
meetings of the council, 1t is thought
wise to take something from his salary
to provide salary for the president OF
the board of aldermen without going
deeper into the city Golfers than Is abso-
lutely necessary So far there are only
two announcements for mayor and three
for aldermen, although of the latter
there are to be eight. and the primary
election is only three weeks away.

Wants Small Farms

There is likelihood that several large
tracts of farming lands near Selma will
soon change hands, and instead of their
being operated as one large farm, they
will be cut up into small ones which will
be worked by white farmers.
While in the west recently citizen of
Selma became acquainted with the agent
of western syndicate who was return
ing north from Florida, where he had
purchased large tracts of land which had
been cut up into small farms and sold to
western farmers. The Selmian interest
ed the western agent by telling him there
were several large tracts of land near
Selma which would prove most desirable
for such farms.
The agent of the western syndicate
promised to visit Selma as soon as pos
sible, and when he comes 1t is believed
that he will purchase some of the farm
lands of Dallas county. The business
men of Selma and the majority of the
land owners would like to see the farms
of the county settled by white farmers
instead of the shiftless negro farmers.
