SHELBY COUNTY'S
 NEW COURT HOUSE Litigation Over Its Removal from CoIumbiana to Calera
 Causes Discussion

Columbiana. April s.-(Special)-The court house was crowded last night to listen to discussion with reference to its removal from Columbiana to Calera- MT. Dryer of Talladega spoke in favor Of Columbiana and A. Latardy and w. L. Martin of Montgomery argued for Cale- ra. Readers of the Age-Herald will re- call this agitation of the removal of the court house.
 Several days ago the new county com missioners appointed by the Legislature advertised for bids for thirty year gold bonds for the purpose of building new courthouse and jail at Calera. Judge A P. Longshore and the board of commits sioners from Columbiana brought an ac- tion in the Circuit Court 10 oust said commissioners and prohibit the sale or said bonds, and procured from Judge Mill Ter of the City Court of Talladega, rule requiring the commissioners to ap- pear at the next term of the Circuit Court of Shelby County, which meets in September, and show by what right or authority they are proceeding, in the meanwhile temporarily enjoining them rom 1SSulnB UT Sciiiu5 Soio DoiieS SA NNS charging any of the functions authorized by said act
 The defendants filed a motion to quash the writ on the grounds that it was issued without authority of law, but the judge refused the motion at this term of court and also refused to hear the case on its merits. An appeal from this decision will be taken to the Supreme Court and a lively fight Is anticipated, as Columbiana has been the county seat for nearly half a century.
 Major John W. Pitts has been confined to his room for several days on account of granulated eyes.
 J. P. Christian of Shelby, who has been i'll for several days, is improving.
 Two convicts, Joe Davenport and Tom Horton escaped from the county jail at Columbiana last week.
 Improvements are in evidence on all sides Six new brick store houses have been constructed in the past year. A ney cotton factory is proposed and 1t is expected to be in operation by the next crop.
 Columbiana is enjoying a prosperous season The banks and hotels are thriving and the citizens seem prosperous.
 Dr. H. c. McAdams of Shelby is in town. The attendance of farmers at court is smaller than ever known, due to the fine weather in the country Court has now been in session over two weeks
 Mrs. Alex Averett and daughter of Shelby are visiting Mrs. Averett's son in Birmingham.

NEW DEPARTURE IN MAsTs.
The Herreshoffs' Defender to Have
 Hollow Spruce Spars.

From. the Springfield Republican.
 The Herreshoffs are making a new de- parture this year, inasmuch as some of the upper spars of their cup defender will be of hollow wood. Three of these iden- tical spars are in course of construction Three topsail yards are from 40 to 60 feet long. The round spar is abou. 50 feet long and is practically completed. Spar No. ? Is undergoing the process of having the diameters accurately proved up. The long, square sticlA Is also for a topsail spar In the first work of rounding. The great advantages of these hollow spruce spars are that they are built by pe- culiar method. While being practically of the same liameter as If of solid wood. they are from 50 to 60 per cent lighter, as well as much stiffer and equally strong. Such saving of weight aloft is of enor- nous benefit, greatly increasing yachts stability, hence materially adding to the speed.
 The sheels of the spars will vary from three-fourths of an inch to one and one half inches in thickness, and are built in two longitudinal pieces, square on the outsides, each of which is grooved out, every precaution being taken to keep the interiors absolutely true in cycle and taper. The four edges of the cylinders are then cemented together. after which the same expert care Is exercised in rounding off and trueing up the outsides, so that the shell is vigorously kept to its true tapering thicknes sthroughout. A highly important factor toward the success of these spars Is the cement or glue for join ing the two longitudinal pieces, as we'll as another hardening and stiffening prep aration used on the inside of the cylin- ders. J. G. Fraser. after many years of experimenting, perfected a composition known to himself only, and which he claims is the only thing of its kind em- bracing all the requirements for hollow wood spars. Not only is the cement ab- solutely waterproof. but is imperishable in all climates. and Is not affected by the twisting and bending strains to which a yachts spars are subjected. This ce- ment to all intents and purposes. be- comes part of the wood itself, and to such an extent that it Is often impossible. without an exceedingly close examination, to find the seams 1t joins
 Till quite a short while ago hollow spars were not attempted on anything much larger than a canoe or slxiff but the pres ent date finds them on most of the suc- cessful racing yachts. not only in Ameri- ca but in Europe. result principally due to J.
