SELMA

Selma, February 1.-(special.) )-Wiu the Selma city council take up the matter of placing a tax on all whisky shipped into the city? This is the question in which every Seimian is interested since the announcement that Birmingham and Mobile were planning that move. Mem bers of the city coucil will not make statement, and it Is understood that they are waiting to see if the movement will prove legal. It is pointed out that tax of % cents on each package of wet goods shipped into Selma would amount to con- siderably over slOO each week, more than enough to give Selma money to handle her charity fund and the proposed system of paygrounds.
 Officials of the express company state that something like 15o packages of whis- ky are averaged each day here. and it is pointed out also that the additional cost would not in the least tighten the shipments.
 pr. John Mccormack of Mobile is in Selma for the purpose ot arranging final details for the Scottish Rite reunion here February and s. when class of 25 will be put through the degrees from the fourth to eighteenth. The degree team, composed of members in Mobile, will come to Selma for the ceremonial and the two days will be filled with interest to all Masonry.

Hubbard Bros & Co.'S Letter

New York, February 1.-(Special) )-Wid fluctuations in Liverpool today were quite an evidence of better market, as were the same kind of fluctuations in the early part of January. Indications that the market had gone about as high as it would at that time. During the past month those fluctuations were remembered as marking the high point, and from a market point of view created very bear ish feeling. This temper has not been modified by the ease with which several large short lines were covered today on 8 slight advance because the market is imbued with the idea that a large acre. age will be planted unless some drastic measures are taken. The buying toda 7 was based on the idea that the decline had gone far enough until more was known of this idea. as the buying by spinners had left the short interest here and abroad in an unenviable position,

Avery's Letter

The strength in the stock market today was big factor in the cotton market The stock market usually gets the news first and there seemed to be a better Indertone which might have come from better news politically or again it might simply have been short covering. From whatever source it came it was there
 The cotton market, while it was strong CT than for sometime past, it was said the shorts were able to cover in the neighborhood of 25,0O0 bales with great deal ease This is the only feature of todays rally that did not look particular ly good to me. In other words, if the market was technically heavily short. it would seem that this short covering should have caused a sharper advance. There are many cross currents In the market at present, however, that are hard to figure out and today's market may be no criterion of technical condi- tions.
 The decline in New Orleans spots of 19 points caused some weakness for a time which was quickly recovered when it was explained that these quotations represented sales on the basis of yester- days decline and after hours transac- tions
 Believe we should at least have a more two-sided market. for the time being any way, with the chances in favor of continuing to improve rather than retrograde. c. F. AVERY.

urday afternoon, beginning at 2.45
O'Clock, on Ely's field, New Hope.
That is, they are going to head
two punches of "Hasbeens" in the
baseball world, and what Mayor
Ledger expects h s councilmanic
bunch to do Burgess Oblinger's bor-
ough fathers is too sad to think
about, while Burgess Oblinger has
the score already figured out within
dozen or fifteen runs.
Just because New Hope "swatted"
Lambertville all over a ten acre
field on the Fourth is the basis for
each of the leaders, expectations, so
it is hoped that there will be good
crowd out to see the council
men properly licked"

when there will be no chance to dis

There's no charge at the gate, but
a game between New Hope and the
Eighth Ward Social club, of Tren-
ton, will follow, and it's likely that
the boys will pass a hat around later
to collect some loose change with
which to pay the visitors expenses
and while nickels and dimes will be
duly accepted. five and ten dollar
bills will ginger up the New Hopers
until they will beat all creation next
time.

Cairo, Egypt, the ancient city of
Bagdad, and the Desert of Sahara;
story of Eastern mysticism, of
temples and mosques; of plots and
counter-plots; an intensely exciting
narration of how a precious prayer
rug was stolen from the innermost
recesses of a sacred Mosque and how
it imperilled the lives of two men
and a beautiful young woman is, in
brief, the resume of Harold Mac
Grath's most popular novel The
Carpet From Bagdad."
There is a strong love story run

ium by which lives are saved and
fortunes retained.
