Selma, May 27.-(special )-Arrange- ments have been completed by which tho Selma Military institute will soon pass under the control of the Alabama Presby- terian synod. a move which was prac- tically decided at a recent meeting of the synod.
 Dr. W. c. Clark of Livingston, chairman of the board of trustees of the Presby- terian College for Men at Anniston. reached Selma yesterday and spent the afternoon in conference with various par ties connected with the institute discuss ing the preparations for placing it under synodical control. The school has here tofore been under the jurisdiction of the Mobile and Tuscaloosa, preshyteries. un- der the control of the synod, however, 1t is thought the school can be advanced much more rapidly and have greater scope than it can under the preshytery.
 pr. Clark will deliver the baecalaureate sermon at the opening of the commence ment exercises of the institute at the Broad Street Presbyterian church to- morrow morning.

GREENV|LLE: MAN
 |NVENTS 4 MOWER

Greenville, May 27.-( Especial Jon Monday, Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, com missioner of agriculture; Capt. J. c. Cheney, and Messrs. B. G. Betty. w. W. Eyster and Spangler will arrive here on the morning train to witness the new mower now in operation neal here. They will be met by commit tee from the Commercial club here and taken out to the field by O. A. Lane and T. W. Peagler and R. E. Peagler in automobiles.
 The object for this visit is to ob- serve the mower invented by Mr. B. H. Rouse, one of the largest farmers of the county. This mower is so made that 1t is possible to raise a crop of oats and cotton on the same land and in gathering the oats the young cot ton Is not injured in the least. Mir Rouse has been at work on this ma chine for several years and this is the first year that it has ever been oper- ated, and it is an unqualified success.
 Although until this time there have been two crops raised on the same land at the same time and in this part OI the country cotton and corn were raised at the same time or corn and peas, the old laborious method of re- moving the peas or the corn by hand had to be resorted to as there was no machine that could manage them. Mr. Rouse worked at this one, however and has at last made a success. He has one-horse farm that he has planted with oats and cotton, the cotton in rows with the oats scattered between, and five or six of the large farmers in the county have estimated that there will be not less than 20 bushels to the acre. This will more than feed the horse and pay the wages of the plowhand and still leaves the cotton crop untouched.
 Experts who have seen MT. Rouse's say that it will practically revolutionize the planting methods and will enable the farmer to market much greater profit on his land. The ma chine was practically constructed here in Greenville as none of the big mower and harvester plants made anything like it. It is on the order of a mower with a short knife, about four feet long.
