THE JACKSON LANDS
IN CovINGToN COUNTY PUR-
 CHASED BY SYNDICATE.
Tract Comprises 144,oo0 Acres of Timber Lands-50, 900 Acres Purchased From Government
 for $10o,ooo Years Ago.

A special from Salisbury. Md, under date of May s. says: r,s.a.z.-
 By a transaction just closed here 4 two-thirds interest in the Jackson Lum- Der Company of Lockhard. Ala, has been sold to Edward s. Crossett and J. w.. Watzek of Davenport, La.. and Charles W. Gales of Ford, Ark. The price paid was on the basis of a million and half dollars for the entire stock of the com pany. A new company will be formed to operate the plant which comprises lih0cV acres of timber land in Covington Coun- ty. Alabama.
 The Salisbury special recalls the Ia nous land purchase made in this city by former Governor Jackson of Maryland Many years ago while the government was selling public lands at N. an acre tscy ernor Jackson became interested in the timber lands of Alabama, ie came to Montgomery and entered in trade with the late Thomas J. Scott who was the governments land agent in this city for the purchase of 5000 acres of gov ernment land in Covington County. For this land Governor Jackson paid on the spot $100,000 in cash. The tract which he bought extended across the State line Into Florida. It was adjacent to other land that he had purchased from private parties.
 At that time it was reported that Gov ernor Jackson intended building raii- road from Luverne to enhance the value of his lumber land and to improve the territory about his land in other ways. The years went by and this was never done. The disposal of the property to new people means, no doubt, that delayed Improvements in that section will be made.

AMICABLY ADJUSTED.
Differences Existing Between Dlosm-
 fontein and County.

fontein and County.
 The threatened danger of the rupture between the municipality of Bloemfontein and the county government of Montgom- cry has passed away, and there will be no law suits. Warren D. Brown, associate member of the Board of Revenue; Capt. John c. Finley, County Attorney. and J. M Garrett. County Engineer went out yesterday to Three-Mile Branch. on whose bank the town of Bloemfontein stands, or. rather. is to stand, and inspected the bridge which was the point of dispute between the two corporations.
 The county officials were met there by Mayor Hal T. Walker of the soon-to-be thriving city. and an amicable adjustment of the differences were agreed upon. The contractors who are at work on the Bloemfontein Park gave a bond to pro- tect. the county from any loss that might be incurred by the work which they arc doing.
 It had been reported to the county au- thorities some of the bridge timber on the county bridge over the Three-Mile Branch was being taken away and put on the dam of the lake now being made in the proposed park. The reports were found to be exaggerated. and the chief danger was from the overflow of the lake on the public road The contractors agreed to make bond for the indemnifica- tion of the county for all possible losses. All of which renders impossible the once prospective, long and costly litigation be- tween the two governments. The work on the park will be pushed and the coun- ty authorities will give the contractors all the encouragement that they can.
 The county officials were surprised at the work that was being done. Consid- erable money is being spent on the park, they say, and they believe that first class resort will be made at the Three Mile Branch, It Is further stated that the material for the extension of the High land Park Line of the Montgomery Street Railway Company will be received in the next few days. and that work on the ex- tension will begin next week.
