Lord Tomlinson had made poor

PLANT IS ALMOST
 ASSURED SELMA Believed S250,0OO Packing House Will Be Built
 This Year

Selma. March 6.-(SpeciaD. There ap- pears to be little question now but before the end of the present year there will be in the course of construction here a pack ing plant, which, when completed will have cost between s25o.oO0 and s3OoOoo and which will revoutonize the animal in- dustry in the central part of the state
 Decisive steps which will ultimately re- suit in the building of this packing plant for Selma was taken at a meeting of the Selma Chamber of Commerce held Tues day night. The meeting was attended by a large number of the business men of the city and everyone expressed himself as being in favor of the establishment of such an Industry here.
 Several of the business men present who in a way had investigated the uues- ton of packing plant for Selma since it was agitated some weeks ago told of their private investigations. These r.- ports only tended to enthuse the other members of the organization present for they showed such plant could be oper- ated at good profit and that its opera tion would not only prove paying to tine stockholders but would prove beneficial to the rural citizens throughout the ter rtory.
 r. NJ Stillwell, well known business man of the city, who has been one of the foremost agitators of packing plant for Selma, was appointed committee or ore to visit similar plants at different points in the south and to subsequently, report his investigations at a meeting which IS to De held shortly. Mr. Stllwel will leave on his trip of investigation during the coming week and after his return to Sci ma the matter of financing the venture will start and there is nc doubt but a strong company will be organized and that work of the plant will soon start

 AS to whether or rot a series of joint debates will be arranged is un known. Moody headquarters announced thls afternoon that it's candidate was in a receptive mood. MT clarksop stated, however, that such pressure will be brought to bear that the two candidates will be found face to face on the stump of the. district before many days have passed"
 As matter of fact MT. Roberts wrote: MT. Clarkson stated, however, that joint debates were a consideration for the future On account of an err TOT in the mechanical department Mr. Clarkson was represented as saving that which the writer beliA ed to be the general sentiment in the district, name ly, such pressure will be brought to bear that the two candidates will be found face to face on the stump of the district before many days have passed. |"
