COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL
WHAT ONE MANS DETERMINA- TON BROUGHT FORTH.
outwitted His opponents-In a Few Hours the Records and Property of Baldwin County Were
 Transferred.
Correspondence of The Louisville cour-

QCorrespondence of The Louisville Cour- ier-Journal.
 Bay Minette, Ala. Oct. A-For the past few months the traveller on the Louisville and Nashville road, passing through the town of Bay Minette, in Southern Alaba- ma. has doubtless been surprised to see in that little town one of the finest court houses in the South. It is a magnificent pressed brick building, trimmed in gran- ite, and is of the most modern and ap- proved architecture.
 Baldwin county is the largest county in the State of Alabama, having an area of 1,620 square miles. or a little larger than the State of Rhode Island. but it is sparsely settled. The county seat Is (or was until few days ago) located at the town of Daphne. on Mobile Bay, in the southern part of the county. making it a two-days journey for the north-ene Baldwiners to get to the county seat. At intervals. for many years, one question of removing the county seat was dis cussed, but it always met with such strong opposition from the people in the southern end of the county, and especially the Daphne crowd, that it was abandon ed.

The latest received letter from this most solitary man is dat ed October z, 1900. No ship has been at Herschcl Island for two winters. and the missionarys white neighbors are at Peel River, 250 miles away.

Enter MT. Hand.

A few years ago MT. J. D. Hand moved into Baldwin county from North Alaba- ma He had few thousand dollars and a surplus of energy and perseverance. He engaged in the timber business on big scale and made money fast He invested in timber lands and soon owned many thousand acres around the town of Bay Minette. About a year ago. when the question of the removal of the county seat was agitated again, he announced to the people that if they really wanted the court house removed to Bay Minette that he would remove it, and from that hour the fun began. Hand had never failed in any proposition he had under taken .and it was said, not only by the opposition. but by many of his friends, that he had at last met his Waterloo.

GREAT CONTEST COMING. Georgia Alabama Football Game
 Excites Much Interest.

The splendid showing Auburn made against North Carolina Monday has rais- ed football enthusiasm to a high pitch in Montgomery and the indications are that the Tuscaloosa-Georgiag game Satur- day will pull out a very large crowd.
 Both teams are in fine condition and they are about the most evenly matched of any of the Southern teams. The grid iron at the ball park could not be in bet ter shape and the cold. crisp weather of this week will make 1t even faster than i. was in the Auburn-Vanderbi game.
 The game that Auburn played North Carolina Monday was something marvel ous and shows what a tower of strength Matt Sloan is to that team. North Caro- lima has not only been defeating every thing in the South with the greatest ease but rolling up big score. To the amaze ment of even the most enthusiastic friends of the college Auburn succeeded in keeping the Tarheels from getting over their line and time after time hurled them back for big gains.

Fight in Legislature.

The fight began in the Legislature and was hard and bitter. Had 1t not been for "Nervie' Armstrong, Hands chief sup porter, the proposition would certainly have been defeated Armstrong was on the ground night and day. from start to finish, and the bill finally passed and was approved on February 5, 1901 The bill authorized the building of court house at Bay Minette, and created a Board of Commissioners to remove the furniture and fixtures from the court house and jail at Daphne upon the com. pletion of the buildings at Bay Minette.

A New German School of Theology

Independent.
 A new school of liberal theological thought that is not satisfied with the com promising views of the more or less or thodox views of the old Ritschl school. of which Rattan, Harnack and few others are the leadin gexponents, has been mak- ing it's influence felt in Germany. Its leader is a new, brilliant young docent, Professor Dr. E. Troetsch of the Univer- sity of Heidelberg. only 35 years of age.
 He is the chief representative of the school of younger Ritschlians. who see in the new science of religion swissen- schaft" (science religion) the panacea for all the theological ills of the age. This school no longer recognizes the unique character of Christianity, but after the manner of Kuenen. sees in Christianity instead one of the greatest or indeed the greatest of the religions of the world. nothing less, but also nothing more. The absoluteness or sui generis claim of Christianity is accordingly discarded at least in fact if not in theory
 One of the fruits of this scheme has been the proposition to abolish the theo- logical faculties at the universities as dis tinctively Christian faculties and to make them merely religious" faculties in which the merits and the demerits of all the leading religions could be scientifical- ly discussed and measured

Both Sides Uncertain.

Both sides were uncertain, but the Daphne crowd seemed to be in the best spirits. Sheriff Bryan especially delighted in telling witnesses and litigants that court would convene at Daphne; that he was custodian of the records and would hold them until the Supreme Court told him to turn them over.
 About noon on October Il a negro boy. named Richardson. was arrested at Do- live, a little town near Bay Minctte, charged with an attempt at criminal as- sault. He was immediately taken before the grand jury, and in default of bail, ordered him to jail at Daphne The news of this proceeding came to Hand in his office and at the same time Colonel Dob- son handed to him a written notice that the court house was complete. Han6 stepped to the telephone and called up his foreman at the mills and told him to have hundred of his best men and fifty good teams to report for duty at his of flee at o'clock to act as guards for the negro boy and to conduct him tc jail. to come equippel and provisioned to stay on the road. and at Daphne a week if necessary.

SALMON WAS roo STRONG.
A Good Story Told on John Brown.
 the Famous Servant

The visit of the King to Balmoral re- calls a story of John Brown which is told among the country folks up there. and which has never. perhaps, seen print It is to this effect: John was a great agnler. and one day had a fine salmon on his line when there came message from the castle desiring his presence at once. Queen Victoria was going for her usual afternoon drive. and 1t was Johns duty to attend her sitting in the rumble of the carriage. His zeal as an angler and his loyalty as a servant had now tug of war. 'Tell Her Majesty that I'll be there quickly" he said, but the salmon was strong and could not be landed. Another and more urgent message reached him. Tell Her Majesty said John. that I have a sal mon on, but I'll be there in a few min utes." Still the salmon held out, and a third and imperative command arrived '"Ten Her Majesty" shouted John, that it's impossible for me to leave without the salmon" Nor did he. It's a good story, but infinitely better when you hear 1t told as 1t always Is. in the Doric of Deeside.

Injunction Secured.

The Daphne citizens secured an injunc- tion. thereby blocking the sale of county bonds but this did not disturb Hand in of the committee and told them to go ahead with the bull ling. An architect named Smith of Montgombery drew the plans. and Colonel Dobson took the con- tract. with an agreement to have the buildings completed by October 15. The corner stone was laid on the 4th of July, and from that time on the work was rushed day and night, the object being to have the court house ready for occupancy for the October term of court on October 2S. As the limit drew near the race be- came more exciting The Daphne people would have to occupy the new court house as a dwelling. Time was precious, some of the material was delayed. Arm strong was sent up the road to find and hurry 1t up, and he did. He brought it in hitched to a limited passenger train al the rate of sixty miles an hour.

The Frightened Friar of Pisa.

Edith King Swain, who has ascended more famous heights than any other wo- man in the world perhaps tells a most amusing incident in an article about Some Famous Ascents Have Made" in The Ladies' Home Journal. She was far up in the famous leaning tower at Pisa, and. bending over a balcony, she let fall top torpedo to test her ability to estimate the exact height of the structure by Galileo's method.
 Choosing a time when I was alone on the tower" she writes, and no one was in sight below, l dropped the torpedo, watch in hand. At this instant a friar came hurrying around a corner, and by direct chance his shaven crown passed directly below me just in time to be struck by the falling torpedo, which ex- ploded with appalling effect. do not know what the poor man thought, per haps that it was the crack of doom. He was fearfully upset and so was I. The torpedo was too small to do more than frighten him. but his amazement on look ing up and seeing me peering down al him in open mouthed horror, like a gar goyle come to life, was eXcrutiatingly lu- dicrous. I forgot to time the report.

HOW 70 TELL DELFT.
DfRereaces Between Real and 1mi-
tstion Are Marked.

tstion Are Marked.
Color is the most important consider
alton in deciding whether or not alleg-
ed delft is genuine. Blue delft must
not be too blue to be real. The natural
color of the ware is pure white. Its
texture is of hardness greatly resem-
bling porcelain. The only thing In delft
that is legitimatcly blue is the design
or figures. These are Of a deep indigo
tint, the production of which Is one OF
the secrets Of Holland.
For more than two centuries potters
all over the world have striven to imi-
tate delft and have failed. The latest
attempts have been made in Bonn, Ger
many. Real delft is as different from
the Bonn product as silk is from satin.
In the first place Bonn delftware Is
soft and not unlike majolica. A slight
chip in the glaze reveals its claylike
texture. Then, too, the ware itself ls
blue, which Is an objectionable fault
The coloring of the design seems to
have spread over its entire surface.
Divergences in portraits and pictures
are one of the distinguishing marks Of
real delft. 1t is all painted by hand.
No machine ever comes in contact with
It. Bonn delft is in striking contrast.
Absolute uniformity is obtained by the
use of stencils and machine made out
lines.
Contrary to the belief Of some COL
lectors, there Is no intrinsic merit in old
delft. The kind that comes from the
potteries today is quite as fine and
more beautiful in design than its prede-
