a STRONG LAW FIRM.

Hon. j. Manly Foster and Hon.
W. B. Oliver, of Tuscaloosa, and
Hon. Samuel L. Cox, of Carroll
ton, Ala, have formed a cODart-
nership for the practice of law
with offices in Pickensville and
CarrolIton. Both Mr.. Oliver and
Mr.. Cox are we'll known in Co.
lumbus, and their many friends
here will read with much interest
the following laudatory comment
on the new firm, which ap-
peared in a recent issue of the
Carrollton West Alabamian:

will be seen the card of a new
firm of lawyers for the practice in
Pickens and Tuscaloosa counties.

self two of the ablest lawyers of
West Alabama, in the persons of
Hons. j. Manly Foster and Will
liam B. Oliver, of Tuscaloosa,
Ala.
''Mr. Foster, the senior mem
ber of the new firm, has quite a
reputation as court and jury
lawyer, and is a man of affairs in
the state. He was a member of
the late constitutional convention,
and was considered one of the
strongest lawyers in the conven-
ton. He and Mr.. Oliver, un-
der the firm name of Foster &
Oliver, have probably as good a
practice as any lawyers in the
state.
"Of Mr.. Oliver, who is our cir
cult solicitor, we hardly think it
is necessary for the Alabamian to
say anything, as every man in
the county who has seen him in
the court house can testify to his
ability, and as a matter of fact he
is one of the best solicitors the
circuit has ever had. Mr.. Oliver
is man of fine judgment and le-
gal ability, and it is safe to say
that he will push and protect the
interests of the clients and of his
firm in the same positive and
capable manner that he does that
of the state.

The decision of the lower court
was, however, reversed by the
supreme court and a new trial
ordered. Judge Sykes, in the
matter of the new trial granted a

EIGHTEENTH SESSION.

The eighteenth annual session
of the Industrial Institute and
College opens next Wednesday
and the grounds and buildings OF
the institution present a busy
scene, with the large force of la
borers who are working hard to
complete the new buildings which
are now in course Of construction.
1t is hardly likely, however, that
either the industrial hall or the
laundry vii be completed by next
Wednesday, as work on both
buildings has been delayed on
account of the failure Of different
kinds of material To arrive
promptly, and on account of the
scarcity Of labor. Building Oper-
atoms in all parts of the south
have been very extensive during
the past summer, and as a con
sequence, brick, structural iron,
lime and other component parts
of a building have been very
scarce, while, for the same rea-
son, bricklayers and carpenters
have been at premium. TAX
ing all these things into consider
alton, Contractor McClanahan
has made good progress on the
buildings, and their completion
will not be very long delayed.
In the executive offices of the /
institution there is never any
idleness. As soon as one session |
closes President Kincannon and |
Secretary Waddell begin to pre-
pare for the next, though of |
course as the opening of the
school approaches the cores

and just now they are extremely
busy. Secretary Waddell in

number of applicants this year

tons seem to point to a highly
prosperous session.

WILL ERECT
BRICK BUILDING.
NEGRO SCHOOL HOUSE
WILL BE HaNDSOMEaND
CO M MODIOUS.
Lindamood & Pickett Sc
cure Contract for
it's Erection.

For some time past the city
council has been debating as tC
whether it would be best TO use
brick or wood in the construction
of the new negro school house,
which is soon to be erected, but
the question was definitely set
tied last Tuesday night, when il
was decided to erect a brick
structure. Bids were invited on
both brick and frame buildings,
and it was found that there was
comparatively little difference in
the cost of the different materials,
and as a brick building will not
only be far handsomer in appear
ance, but will be much more dur
able, it was deemed advisable to
erect a structure of that class.
While there were numerous
bids for the erection of a frame
building, only two which contem-
plated the use of brick were sub
mitted. One of these was from
Mr.. J. W. Stansell, who proposed
to do the work for 81 ,027.O0, and
and the other from Messrs. Lin
damood G Puckett, who offered
to do the same work for sc, $4,000.
The bid of Messrs. Linda
mood & Puckett being the lowest
and best, the contract for the
erection of the building was
awarded to them. They are to
complete the work within four
months from the date of the sign
ing of the contract, with a for
feiture of fifteen dollars for each
das thereafter that the building
remains unfinished.
A committee of citizens resid-
ing in the neighborhood wherein
it is proposed to locate the negro
school house came before the
council and asked that the loca-
ton be changed, giving as rea-
sons therefor that the negro chill
dren, in going to and from school,
would be compelled to pass along
road, which is one of the |
thoroughfares of the |
city, and would come in direct |
contact with the white children
who attend Franklin academy.
The petitioners were represented
oy Judge Newman Cayce, who
presented the above argumests in
4 clear, lucid and forceful man.
1er. At the conclusion of Judge
Jayce's remarks DR.. John A.
Brown, who is a resident and
holder of the neighbor-
hood in question, stated to the
council that so far as he was able
@ Judge, there are no serious OBJ
ections to placing the school
house on the lot which was origi-
lally purchased for that purpose,
md to which the petitioners OBJ
ected. After some discussion,
lction on the petition was finally
until some future
Meeting of the council.
The contrac: for certain repairs
m the interior of Franklin acad-
my was awarded to Mr.. j. w.
'tansel, who is to receive $1,000
or the work, and have same
by Sept. 22nd.
