SELMA BUSINESS
 MEN ARE WILLING Want New Road Built Into
 Birmingham District MEET NEXT WEDNESDAY Subscriptions to Project Expected to Reach $5O,O0O--George Walton Dies
 In Augusta-AIiss Smith
 E Entertains
 
MEET NEXT WEDNESDAY

Selma, June 2.-(Special. )-There is lit. tie doubt in the minds of the progressive business men of Selma that work of building the railroad up the old Cahaba valley survey from this city to the Br- mingham district will have been started and we'll under way before another year has passed
 The business men of the city are en- thusiastic over the probability of the building of this road. They know that 1t means the future of Selma and for that reason have awakened to the fact that it is a necessity in the upbuilding and the future growth of the city. With the building of the road there would be located here many new industries, both large and small and which would help every business.
 The first step toward the building of this road will be taken at the citizens meeting, which will be held at the Acad- emy of Music next Wednesday night At that meeting there will be presented a petition asking for subscriptions for that purpose It is believed that during the meeting about $5o,Ooo will be subscribed toward the project.
 Several of the business men of the city, who see the importance of having such road, have stated their willingness to contribute toward 1t from 5000 to $5000. Every business man of the city sees the importance of building the road and with Birmingham capital also interested in the project there is little doubt bu. that all of the money necessary for it's building can be readily raised.
 The petition which will be presented to the citizens meeting will ask that the money which will be subscribed be paid in after five miles of the road has been built. The survey passes through a sec ton of the country rich in timber iron, coal marble and granite and would mean the opening up of an undeveloped sec ton of the state and the completion of the road would not only mean the growth of this city, but the development of a virgin section of the state.
 If the Louisville and Nashville railroad should buy the line after it has been completed 1t would mean a saving of a haul of 29 miles for that system from the Birmingham district to tidewater at Pensacola. Selma is awakened to the fact that the road must be built and there Is little doubt but that the movement started will end with the building of the road.

 The confession of child under IA can not be held as testimony of such child in the courts, if it is on trial for an alleged offense. This is the holding of the su- preme court in the case of Monroe Hamp- ton, negro boy of F, under sentence of two years in Lauderdale county for burglary. The contention that the boy should have been exempt on the ground that alleged offense was committed be- fore the amendment of the juvenile court act was not accepted. Reversal was be- cause of conviction by the confession.

GIVES PROMISE OF
WARM, FAIR WEATHER

If the old superstition OF the Scotch
holds good. Richmond will enjoy
warm and fair weather for forty
days. Friday was ST Winthin's day
and the ancient belief was that the
weather Of this day would be contin-
uous for six weeks.
Though the weather continues hot.
the heat is not nearly as oppressive
as 1t has been. The backbone of the
great torrid wave which gripped this
vicinity for nearly two weeks has
been broken. About l o'clock Friday
the official thermometer of the wealth
err bureau registered IS degrees. The
forecast for Friday evening is show
ers, accompanied by electrical storms.
This bids fair to further cool the
city.
Not only is July 15 st. Swinthins
day, but it also marks the halfway
point Of summer.

CLARENCE MORRIS
Gets HIS RELEASE
White Man Convicted of Per
jury is Set Free by Judge


Clarence Morris, the white man who
was convicted of perjury at the pres
ent term of Henrico circuit court,
WAS brought back into court Friday
and Judge Scott set aside the verdict
giving the man his release.
Morris was originally charged with
breaking into freight car In Gooch-
land county. He was first given a
hearing here before q magistrate and
on the stand testified that he was
not guilty, Following the trial he
confessed to officers that he had
broken into the car.
He was tried in Goochland for the
offense and acquitted and was then
brought here on warrant charging
him with perjury. Several days ago
the Jury found him guilty and he
was sentenced to sixty days In Jail.
The judge released him Friday on
the grounds that he was acquitted OF
the charge In which IL was claimed
he committed perjury. Morris had
already been in Jail four months
awaiting trial on the charge.
