 tenn This Year

Selma, March 4.-(Special.) )-In his ad- dress to the business inen of Selma at the banquet which was rendered him at the Hotel Albert Tuesday night, President Fairfax Harrison of the Southern rail- way promised Selma something from that system within the year.
 While Improvements by the Southern railway were promised in yelled way, it is generally believed ir railroad circles here that within the next few months there will be made some extensive inn provements at the shops of the system here. For some months past there has been talk among the employees of the shops as to contemplated Improvements, and it is believed that President Harrison had reference to that work when he made his address here Tuesday night
 While nothing definite was stated by Mir. Harrison in his address, it is also be- iieved that he alluded to the rumored train which is to be soon inaugurated between Birmingham and Mobile by Sel- ma Semians were very favorably inn pressed with President Harrison and be- lieve that as rapidly as possible he will build up and improve that system. s.

.RUSHTON UNDECIDED
 AS ID HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE SHORT TERM
Believed He Will Make Def mite Announcement at Greenville Next
 Friday
By l., S. RETTY

Montgomery, March 4.-(SpeeiaL) Ray RUshton of Montgomery, one of the lead ing lawyers of this section of the state, has not vet determined whether he will run for the short senatorial term MT. Rushton returned today from Birming- ham, where he went to attend the meet ing of the state executive committee.
 The prominent Montgomery attorney de- clared this afternoon that he is being strongly urged to make the race, indicat- ing that a large number of his friends in north Alabama and in all parts of the state are using their efforts to draw him into the primary. The people of Mont gomery are practically unanimous in their demand for him 10 make the race.
 Mr. Rushton will probably decide with in the next day or two. Next Friday he goes to Greenville to deliver a speech in the interests of Oscar Underwood, and it is thought to be more than likely that he will make his announcement on that day.
 Another probable candidate for the short term is Frank P. Glass of Birmingham. MT Glass was in Montgomery today and htld d COHititlltS Nllll tue RONtIHOl. Ile left on the night train for the Magic City. He declared to friends at the depot that he would make mp his mind tomor- TOW. It is not thought that Mr Glass will run.
 The only announced candidate is Capt Frank s. White of Birmingham, who de- clared for the short term several weeks ago.
 Captain White was also in Montgomery today, having come down from Birmng- ham to represent the state in the trial of James G. Oakley, alleged embezzler of state funds.
 Indications point to the fact That the race for the short term will probably be between Ray Rushton and Captain White, both of whom are prominently known throughout the state.

is some very pretty jockeyng for

that Mr.. Hardwick's announcement
had been seized upon by certain anti

tending to show that the senior

closer to the Senator than anybody

Damming all small streams to
produce lakes from which the water
will evaporate is the cure suggested
for hot winds that are an annual
menace to the crops of North Dakota.
George Leonard. Of New Salem. be-
lieves that is the solution of the
problem. Even where there are no
streams, he would place dams instead
of culverts under graded roads to
nol0 the ram water until 1t would
evaporate naturally. These pools
would result in a rapid growth of
trees, which would also be valuable
for the same purpose. He scouts
the idea that sucn pools might cause
epidemics of sickness or myriads of
mosquitoes. and claims that the
volume of water could easily be con-
trolled SO that it would not damage
the roadways or food more land
than it was desired to flood. by put
ting small overflow culverts at the
top of the maximum height at which
water was desired. In this way the
water from the spring-snow thaws
