SELMA HOPES TO SEE
CAHABA ROAD BUILT.
Men in New York Interest
ing Themselves in FL
nancing New Line

Selma, April 24.-(special) There is lit
tie doubt but during the next few days
some definite announcement from New
York Selma will be made regarding
the building of the proposed railroad
from this city up the Cahaba valley to
the Birmingham district. The building
of this projected road would mean
great deal to the future growth of Selma
and every resident of the city is anxious
to see the construction work on the road
start.
While no announcement has yet been
made regarding the building of this prof.
ected road to the mineral fields of the
Birmingham district, 1t is generally un-
derstood in Selma that Ernest Lamar
and L. M. Hooper, two well known bus
mess men of Selma, are now In New
York for the purpose of financing the
building of the road or the selling OF
the franchise to company which viii
build it. The two Selma business men
have been in New York for the past
two or three weeks.
Messrs. Lamar and associates who have
the project of building the proposed rail
road from Selma to the Birmingham dis
trict were granted valuable terminal
rights of way by the city of Selma sew
eral years ago, which they were to have
and hold IL certain amount OF work
upon the road had been done by certain
time. These terminal rights of way in
Selma will be forfeited within the next
few months II some work upon the build
ing of the road has not been accom-
plished.
They have been working upon the build
ing of this road from Selma to the Bir-
minsham district during the past few
years. They have secured rights of way
for practically every mile and two sur
veys have also been made for the line
through Dallas, Bibb and jefferson coun-
ties. There is little doubt but the road
will eventually be built and that when
put into operation will haul an immense
amount of tonnage.
1t is believed that the building of the
proposed road would mean the establish
ment in Selma of a number of large In
dustrial plants and that with barge line
down the Alabama river In connection
coal and iron would be shipped to all
ports of the world much cheaper than at
present There are a number Selmians
who are willing to put large amounts of
money into the line. but so far sufficient
capital has net been secured.

If the Secretary of the Navy is a

Open Policy
Speaking for the new administra-
tion at Washington, let me say it has
no policy of concealment 1t appeals
not to any group or class. but to the
whole people of America and 1t real
lies that it will win their approval
only as 1T carries out it's pledges and
meets the Just needs of all the people
who oppose privilege and demand only
a fair chance. 1t invites criticism in ali
that it does. 1t wishes to have the
searchlight of publicity turned on all
its acts
Grasty's Speech
Charles II. Grasty described the AS
sociated Press position in the field of
journalism, referring to the mistaken
impression, which he described as very
general, that the Associated Press is "a
lnoney-making corporation and eX-
planning it's cooperative membership
cf newspapers gathering and distribu-
ting news at maximum efficiency and
minimum cost The association pre-
vents news gathering from being con-
trolled by private and commercial
ownership, he declared, and hai
devoted themselves to maintain
ing this organization. There had never
been, in the speakers opinion, a finer
example of public spirit than had been
shown by these trustees of the COM
mon interest of journalism.
In closing Mr.. Grasty pointed out
The world wide influences of publicity
particularly as shown in Japan where
the printing press had made known the
arts of peace and war. and an Oriental
people had adopted them in single
generation. "What we of the white race
have given them without money ard
without price" said the speaker, may
at some future time raise up against
us an enemy in little yellow race, the
males of which are scarcely five feet
high and weigh scarcely hundred
pounds but as fighters on land and
sea are as good as we are, man fol
man. There Is but one big difference
between this whirlwind-like develop
ment and the slow processes of hun
dreds of years in the days of Greece
and Rome, when civilization had to be
personally conducted in its march west
| ward and that difference is the print
| Ing press and the associated influences
| of steam and electricity"
