TAKING DISPOSITIONS.

estville.-Senator A. J. McLau-
rim and Hon. G. H. Alexander were
here recently taking dispositions con-
corning the removal of the court
house. The former is employed by
the non-removal faction and the lat
ter by the side favoring removal.
Since the Gulf and Ship Island
Rilroad was built through this Simp-
SOM county, place on that road,
Edna, was selected for the court
house. An election was held and the
majority of the vote polled was in
favor of removal The Board of Su-
pervisors advertised for bids, but
competing points ON the Gulf and
Ship Island road claimed it was lille
gal, Edna being further from the CEN
ter of the county than the present
site, and filed an injunction. The
matter is now in court and a trial
will come up before Judge Conn this
week

The pending controversy between the

End how much IF earth. Tho rock is much

exposed to the air and elements, gradu-
ally crumbles. disintegrates, and in time
becomes earth. Just at what stage it
ceases to be rock and becomes earth, may
be matter of dispute. The contractors
are paid much more for moving rock per
cubic yard, than for moving earth, and

1t transpires that the Duke and Duchess
of Cornwall and York had a somewhat
tempestuous homeward voyage, their
steam yacht, the Ophir having run into
an iceberg and narrowly escaped a dis
aster. The gale which was prevailing
when they arrived necesstated a radical
change IN the programme of ceremonies
to be carried out in celebration of their
return to England. In view of the fact
that a bitter controversy is reported to
have been generated between Sir Wifrid
general of Canada, it IS evident that the
royal pair did not find their entire path
way strewn with roses, although they
were everywhere greeted with intense en-
thusiasm.
