SELMA RACE TRACK
 ID CHANGE HANDS
Believed the Purchase Was Made for Central Ala
 bama Fair

Selma, December 30.-(Special)-Th Selma race track, which for years has been known as one of the best mile tracks throughout the south, will change hands on Monday.
 In the office of Probate Judge r. H. Pitts of Dallas county this morning there was filed for record deed from Gertrude F.. Abbott widow of F. M. Abbott de- ceased, conveying to James B. Ellis, Will liam c. Ward and Victor B. Atkins of Selma as trustees, the tract of land in the northern part of the city known as the Selma Driving park. While no state ment is made, it is believed that the park was purchased by the trustees for the Central Alabama Fair association, and that it will be made the permanent home of that organization.
 The tract of land embraces a number of acres of land. Upon 1t is also located all of the buildings belonging to the Central Alabama Fair association, and where for years past the annual fairs of that association have been held It is understood that shortly there will be made number of Improvements about tIe pidCe.
 In years gone by the Selma Driving park was one of the best known race courses in the south. It was popular training resort for the fast pacers and trotters of the grand circuit during the winter months Over the track some of the fastest horses of former grand circuit meetings have gone their fastest miles, and during one Winter and spring nearly 1900 racers spent the cold months on the track.
 A year or so ago the veteran grand circuit driver, Ed Geers, tried to buy the track. For some reason, though, the deal did not go through. Under the man. agement of the new owners it is believed that there will be made some extensive improvements to the track, and that it will be placed in first class condition and a large number of new stables erect ed, and that an effort will be made to make the park again the popular training grounds for the great stables that enter campaigners in the grand circuit meets each summer.

 Good Roads Bonds

It was announced yesterday that S1l0,000 worth of good roads bonds of Perry county had been purchased here by Otto Marx x Co. The bonds bear per cent interest. Mr..

 "The men with money realize that the farmers are the backbone of this country and are eager to assist in betteripg the roads" said MT. Marx, and where the market might be some what dull on other propositions, there Is no trouble in getting a good price for bonds for the improvement of roads. The general tendency in many counties. am told is to better the roads by is. suing road bonds.'

CITY LICENSE TAX INCREASES SS6,185 License Collector J. J. Bog
 gan Makes Report THE TOTAL IS $4s4,S76.6S Liquor License Amounted to $69,- SO1.43 and It Is Believed This
 License Next Year Will
 Make Another Increase

The annual report of J. J. Boggan. H. cense collector for the year, 1911, was communicated to Culpepper Exum, presi- dent of the city commission, at the close of business yesterday. An increase of $s6, ,1S5.4S over 1910 is shown in the amount collected.
 The total license tax collected according to the report was $434,S766s included in which amount is s69, 1.43 liquor tax which was given the city by county officials during September.
 For 1910 the tax collected was $34S 1.25 which does not include any revenue from whiskey. For 1912 it is expected that MT. Boggan will be able to show further increases by reason of the long term liquor licenses to be issued in Birming- ham. During 1911 the business men OF Birmingham supported the city govern ment to the extent of s25OO6 75, while the corporations came next in line with a do- nation of $96,000 even. This year will perhaps be the last of corporation taxes as well as automobiles and motorcycle taxes, which netted the city no less than s9951.5 during 1911.
 Considering that at the height of the busy season all assistants were taken from Collector Boggan and the work left to be done by him alone, the report is a fine one and will no doubt invoke the warmest comment of President Exum when he returns to the city.
 The full report, with a comparative monthly table for 1911 and 1910, is as fol- lows:

PRESIDENT STOPS
 IN PHILADELPHIA Attends Dedication of New Wanamaker Building SEES LIBERTY BELL
Holds Reception in Office of Phila- delphia Public Ledger, Where He Meets Entire Staff-Visits
 Independence Hall

Philadelphia. December 3o.-President Taft on his way to attend the peace dinner in New York tonight spent three hours in Philadelphia this afternoon, and during that time made an address dedicating the new building of John Wanamaker; held a reception In the office of the Philadelphia Public Ledger and visited Independence hall, where he reverendly laid his hand on the old liberty bell.
 The President spent more than two hours in the Wanamaker establishment where the dedication exercises were held in the presence of thousands of persons. At the conclusion of the ex- ercises the President held reception. He then went to the Public Ledger offices where he met George w. Ochs, editor and publisher, and the entire staff on that newspaper. The reception was held in the offices once used by the late George W. Childs and was visited by Presidents Hays and Cleve- land.
 While in the Ledger offices the Pres ident expressed a wish to visit Inde- pendence hall. across the street, re- marking that he had not been at the cradle of liberty since way back in the seventies. Thanked by John Wana- maker and MT. Ochs, the President pro- ceeded to the old building. MT. Taft first entered the room where the declar- ation of independence was signed and placed his name in the visitors book. After taking a look at the portraits of the forefathers hung about the walls and the quaint, colonial furniture in the room, he stood at the glass case enclosing the historic bell. The old guard on duty raised the case and the President laid his ungloved hand on the old, cracked relic, an honor which the guardian of the bell gives to no visitors.
 The President then hurried to the railroad station and left for New York at 4:07 p. m
