Decatur Is Without Newspaper

Decatur. June Especial )-Deca- tur Is, perhaps, the largest town in the United States without a newspa- per of any kind being published within It's limits. The Decatur News, one of not been published for over a month, and the office has been closed. w. M. Grubbs, the editor and proprietor of the News, is talking of leaving Deca- tur for other fields In the meantime he is trying to sell the News, but up to this time has failed to do so. It seems that no one is anxious to embark in the newspaper business in Decatur, on account of so many newspaper failures here during the past years.

ROAD UP CAHABA
 SEEMS ASSURED New York Capital Said To Be
 Available
SELMA MEN INTERESTED
Baseball Season in Selma Will Open Tomorrow-Selma Lads Enjoy ing Camp Life Near
 Sardis

Selma June 13.-(Special.) )-The c prospect for the building o&Gte 'elma Mineral railroad up the sur of the old Cahaba valley to the Birz Eham district grows brighter with. 4the"pass- ing of each day and if there has been any doubt in the mind of the aver age Selma business man during tho past few days that the road would not be built this doubt has been dis pelled.
 If Selma moneyed men with the help of citizens along the route of the pro posed road do not built it, the road will be built by New York money This fact was made public here to- day by a business man who. for sev- eral weeks past, has been in cores pondence with a sch ool boy friend who is at present a member of a large banking concern in New York. which nromotes railroads and manufacturing g industries.
 The question of the building of the railroad up the old Cahaba valley sur yey to the Birmingham district was taken up several weeks ago by the  who is in a position to finance even n larger railroad. A number of let ters have been exchanged by the two friends and some weeks ago the Sel- ma man gathered up the surveys and prospectus of the road and forwarded them to his friends.
 A letter received Sunday states that the question of building the road had been taken up with several New York capitalists; that they had gone over the data which had been forwarded them, and were interested in the mat fer. representative of the New York capitalists will come to Selma in the next week or so. the letter further stated, and this representative will go over the route of the proposed road and make rough figures as to the cost of building.
 If the conference, which is to be held here during the week with local capital and representatives of capital in neighboring cities, does not take advantage of the opportunity offered them of building the railroad it is very certain that New York money will build the road. The Selmians who have interested themselves in the building of the road will very likely join with the New Workers and show that they are in earnest and secure large block of stock.

The blind are given attention in Jefferson county, where they not only have some books, but system of readings from books not printed in the raised letters. Both Dr. Owen and Dr. Manning are greatly pleased at the ability to get the books out in short time The department has been ready for some time, the only thing being out was sufficiency of books. The government circulates the books free of postage. | It is also understood that movement | for readers in all the state libraries will | be made in a short time. This plan IS | for some one to volunteer to give an hour day to reading, at which time the | blind gather and are thus educated and | instructed In the literature that has not | been prepared in the raised letters This | latter idea, however, is part of the work | of the local libraries, where reading rooms 1 and circulation is kept up for the town or city readers. But every encouragement | will be given it by the director of the department and the officers of the schools for the blind of both colors.
