SITE FOR A COURT HOUSE.
Commissioners of Tuscaloosa County
Discuss Matter,

Commissioners of Tuscaloosa County
Discuss Matter.
Tuscaloosa Oct 1S-(Special. )-Since 1t
| has been decided by the County Commits
| sioners to erect a new court house, 1t is
the opinion of many that the lot on which
the present building is located which is
| 92x132 feet, is insufficient for the new
building which has been proposed.
Mr.. James H. Fits. President of the
City National Bank. and one of Tusca-
loosa's most progressive citizens, appear
ed before the Commissioners yesterday
and made a strong appeal for a change
in the location. He stated in the begin
ming that he had no personal interest in
the matter, save for the welfare of the
town. Mr.. Fitts's idea is to secure the
lot on Seventh Street and Greensboro
Avenue, adjoining the present building
which is the property of DR.. John Lit
tie This lot is 132x162 feet, and DR.. Lit
tie has agreed to exchange it for the lot
on which the court house is situated and
will pay 5000 additional. Mr.. Fits fur
thermore stated that If still more room
was necessary that the lot to the east of
the Little properly could be secured from
Cap. H. p. Walker for $4,000, thus Civ
ing ample space.
He stated that If this plan did not meet
with the approval of the Board, that the
two lots could be purchased by the coun-
ty and retain the one on which the court
house stands and with necessary i'm
provements on the present building, it
could be rented for offices and give the
county good income.
Both of these suggestions will be we'll
considered by the Commissioners before
any definite step is taken.

the Tuscaloosa Female College last even

Musical Director Selected.

The committee appointed by
the board of regents to select a
director of music to fill that chair
at the O. A. c., has chosen Mr..
Mordaunt Goodnough of this
city. Delay in selecting An in
structor in this department, has
been due to efforts on the part of
the committee to secure person
competent to teach both vocal
and instrumental music. Find
ing this impossible, the commit
tee made haste to secure Mr..
Goodnough for the instrumental
department. An instructor in
vocal music will be added later.
The committees selection will be
highly popular in this city. Mr..
Goodnough has proved his fitness
for the position, and he has the
confidence of his pupils and the
community.
A course of music, covering a
period of four years, will be es-
tablished and students will be
graduated from this department.
Credit will be given pupils for
work in music the same as that
in other studies. Graduates will
be brought up to a performance
of the works of Mozart, Weber
and the lighter sonatas of Beetho-
ven.

Burned to the Ground.

-
Early Saturday morning the
farm house on what is known to
old-timers as the Prior Scott
place took fire and burned to the
ground. The place is now the
property of James Hays, and he
had it rented to James Gray.
Just how the place caught fire is
not known, but it is supposed to
have resulted from a defective
flue.
Just what loss Mr.. Gray suffer-
ed is not known, but it is relia-
bly, reported that he was heavily
damaged Notwithstanding the
fact that some few articles of fur
niture and other effects were
saved. The house was valued at
81, 200 or 81, 500 and was built a
number of years ago by John
Huffman. It was better than the
average farm house.
When Mr.. Hays heard of the
fire it is reported that he accepted
the news in his characteristic
manner and, for perhaps the first
time in his life, his favorite ex-
muttered On this occa-
sion, was appropriate. At first
he was certain that there was no
insurance on the building and ar
gued the matter with his wife.
When she thought of looking up
some policies they held he told
her to save herself the trouble, as
he very we'll knew that the in
surance that had been placed on
the house some time ago had
been allowed to lapse. Mrs.
Hays, however, had the last say,
and hunted through their papers,
which resulted in her finding
that they held an insurance poll
cy on the house for ST, 900, is
sued by an old line company.

beaten and are decidedly laughable and
intensely interesting as Beach & Bowers
have called to their assistance an array
of talent that places their company in

boys are young, active and up to date
and seem untiring in their efforts to

There Is Luck.

/ There are people who claim
| there is no such thing as luck.
| On the other hand, we find those
who pin their faith to the decla-
ration that there is only bad luck
those who declare ia favor OF
the proposition are scarce. It is
believed that ]. Fl. Harris, of
this city, will tell you that he
has faith il the theory of good
luck.
Some time ago, while passing
along the street near the Farra &
Allen building, he chanced to
look in the grass a1ong the side
walk and saw something that
looked valuable. He gathered
up the object, together with some
grass, leaves, mud, etc., and took
his handful of debris to the store
and washed it out. When he
got through at the pump he had
"cleaned up' a FIVE dollar bill.
During the past summer Mr..
Harris went down to California
for his health and to visit a
brother who lives in Oakland.
One day as the two of them pass
ed along the street Mr.. Harris
saw a lady's purse lying on the
walk, and thinking perhaps it
was there as a practical joke,
kicked it. His brother and some
bystanders took the same view of
it, and the loiterers viewed the
scene with every show of anuse-
ment. After kicking the purse
and passing it, Mr.. Harris told
his brother he believed he would
return and pick it up, which he
did. On opening it he found
that it contained a 1ady's gold
watch and chain. diamond ring,
and a brooch. Although every
effort was made to find the party
who had lost the purse, it proved
unavailing.
While in Oakland a fellow en-
tered the place of business of Mr..
Harris brother, offering lottery
tickets for sale. One or two par
ties who were present purchased
ascent tickets, but Mr.. Harris
at first declined. After some
persuasion, he was induced to
take a ticket, ''just for the fun of
the thing This ticket drew
500. Mr.. Harris kept the 500,
but left the purse and its con-
tents with his brother when he
came home. The wonder is that
Mr.. Harris does not go to Oak
land to reside-for him it is a
lucky spot.
The foregoing is what may be
termed the 'lucky' side of the
proposition. Now for the. mega
tive: In the not too remote past,
Gene Simpson, who clerks for
F. /. Miller of this city, dropped
a quarter of a dollar on the floor.
It rolled under the safe. Gene
secured sharp stick and tried to
punch the quarter out of its place
of seclusion. Lying prone upon
the floor, he prodded long and
vigorously, but was only able to
unearth a 5-cent piece. This is
the unlucky side-now say there
is no such thing as LUCK, good or
bad. -,
