OAKLEY AGREES WITH GOV.
 O'NEAL ON CONVICT MATTER

following interview:
 There Is not, has not, and will not, be any friction or difference of opinion between the governor and myself in the ultimate conclusions to be arrived of the state convict department. When 1t comes to the final analysis he is the real head and so long as l am his first lieutenant in that department 1t will be conducted in absolute har mony with his views and policies
 The state is entitled to the best price it can get for it's labor where the conditions and locations are suit able for It's proper care and employ ment. The governor is rightly op- posed to the working of state, con victs at a price less than free labor commands and l am thoroughly con- Vinced that the state should provide employment for it's convicts rather than put them in direct competition with free labor by contracting them for less price on the same character of work
 present Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company controversy, which, I predict, when properly threshed out from an un- biased viewpoint, will be fairly and equitably adjusted to both the state and without having done any violence to the real working man or competing corporations. without further undue un- necessary publicity and agitation which can have no good effect for the states interests"

SELMA WORK|NGF0 A PACKING PLANT
Practically Certain New In- dustry Will Be Obtained
SERVICE IS IMPROVED
Louisville and Nashville Place Pull mans on Trains to FlOmatOn. Elated Over Outcome of
 Southeastern Meeting

Selma, February 1s.-(pecial)-It is practically a certainty now that before the end of the present year there will be established in Selma, a packing plant which will prove as beneficial to the rural citizens of this part of the state as to the stockholders in the concern.
 Since the agitation for the establish- ment of packing plant in Selma at a recent meeting of the members of the Selma Chamber of Commerce the move ment has grown and well defined steps toward the organization of a company for that purpose is expected to be taken within the next week or two. A num- Der of the most influential business men of the city are interested in the project and there is no question but the ideas of the projectors will be realized.
 Beginning Saturday the Louisville and Nashville railroad established a Pullman parlor car service on it's morning and night trains from Selma and Flomaton. With this service the Louisville and Nashville will have the best trains en- tering Selma, as other roads entering the city have only chair car Pullmans.
 Since it has been opertaing trains into Selma the Louisville and Nashville has given little attention to the passenger business from this section to the north, east and west. But the road is now after this business and with it's progressiveness is putting into Selma the best train that the present patronage will sustain.

 Local baseball circles are elated over the outcome of the meeting of the South eastern league which was held at the University club in Birmingham Thursday night.
 Among the fans of the city there is some comment about Decatur quitting the circuit, but at the same time those fans agree that either Ensley or Bes- semer would strengthen the compact lit- tie baseball organization. A club so near Birmingham will increase the prestige of the circuit. It would also mean better attendance and an elevation of the game as well as money in the pockets of the magnatesf
 When the practice season starts rhe Selma fans will witness in the try out for position George Sparks, Henry Chan cey. George Webber Chastant, Howell. McAllister, Vasterline and about 10 other recruits. Among this bunch of recruits there will be a number-of good men be- sides the secrets which will try for the pitching staff of the Selma club.

He protested his nno- cence to the officers, and while admitting that he had been at the store, declared 1t was after the fire was discovered and that he assisted in putting it out.

MARION WILL HAVE NEW BANK BUILDING

 Banks of Uniontown and Marion have shown some rivalry as to where the money for the good roads shall be de- posted. The board of commissioners voted the Repositories. But Treasurer Barker overruled their action and will distribute same among all banks of the county.
