CHAMBERS COUNTS s7 NEW COURT HOUSE
A Splendid New and Modern Structure A Monument to the Thrift of
 Her People.

Lafayette, June H-(SpeciaD-No county in the state boasts of a handsomer or more imposing court house than Chambers County, the best county in East Alabama. That she has been able to secure so great a necessity, and at moderate cost, Is due largely to the splendid business man. agement of that stalwart young son of Alabama-Judge A. J. Driver, Jr., who has administered the affairs of the county most judiciously since he entered office. To those who had seen the old time build ing which adorned the center of the square, there was not needed any argu- ment to show why a new and modern building was needed. A more dilapidated house, where it was supposed that justice was administered, would have been hard to find. It was indeed an eye-sore to the people.
 The question of new court house for the county was first preached some years ago by a grand jury. From time to time the same question was agitated by pre- siding judges, the Sun, and even some of the daily papers. There were those who opposed the enterprise for reasons satis- factory to themselves, but not convincing

When the present county officers took charge of affairs they began at once to agitate and advocate and finally the contracts were let and the people saw the old "owl roost' razed to the ground. The walls of the new building went up and when at last it was complete the most dubious ones seemed delighted that it was so. But still there were voices that crooked Some claimed that a heavy extra tax would be levied to pay for the pleasure of having a comfortable court house. Not so Judge A. J. Driver, himself a first class business man who had been successful in the man. agement of his own affairs, had also so managed the affairs of the county that the county commissioners, at their last sit pie that the same rate--40 cents per hun dred-would be levied for all purposes, in- cluding that of the building of the new court house, and today Chambers is the proud possessor of as handsome and as commodious a county building as any peo- pie would desire. It is monument to the business administration and an honor to the people of the county.

Accumulation of Wealth

Tn the midst of such temptations to acquire wealth without regard to the means of its acquisition, the seductiveness of an ambition that seeks it's qualification without reference to the cost in honor and the good of country surrounded by civ ilization, in which might often conquers right, and the path of wealth and ambi- tion is the way to glory, there is nothing that can nerve the soul for heroic en- deavor to stand fast by its ideals of right eousness and truth, to stake its very life upon its conception of duty, except the vision of the young servant of the prophet, the vision of God, regnant, omnipotent, controlling, though unseen, the destinies of individuals and nations.
 When the sensual, the carnal, the sell fish, the devilish, seem dominant in the world, and they will seem so over and over again in your experience; when you are tempted to say q have cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in inno- cency;" when you go out and behold its mountains of diffciluties filled with the enemies of all that is purest and noblest in human endeavor, then, oh. then. may God open your eyes to see also for the defence of the cause of justice and truth, the horses and chariots of the Lord God omnipotent, who reigneth forever and ever forever and ever.

Miss Macarthur, who was spared by
the murderer, is the only one able tc
give anything resembling coherent
account of the tragedy. She says that
Morrison came to her room, and
awakening her from her sleep, said
that he had killed all the family but
little Russell and herself. and that he
would kill Russell, but spare her. He
then grasped Russell, who was in bed
with her, and butchered him with an
AZ. Morrison then rushed from the
house, saying that he was going to
shoot himself. The girl, frenzied by
the horrible sight of the murder OF
her little brother, staggered into the
other rooms of the house to find that
Morrison had killed four other mem
bers of the family with the ak. Three

Men turned out and set out on the
trail of the murderer. He was found
during the evening bleeding from q
wound in the chest, which he said he
had inflicted with a gun after leaving
the Macarthur house.
There appears to be an utter alb.
sence of motive for the act of Nor
rison, who was considered quiet

old and was born in Glasgow, and
came to this country about eight
years ago. The only logical theory is

+, The significant feature OF the large
immigration of farmers in the older
states to the wheat regions of Mime
sofa and North Dakota is that the
large estates and acreage of farms, of
which SO much was said few years

actual farmers in tracts of 500 acres.
Some of these large farms contained
from $4,000 to 10000 acres. The infer
