The County Has Just Erected Mag nificent Building.
 The magnificent new Court House just erected by the County .of Dallas. Is one of the handsomest temples of justice in the State. The officers have just moved Into 1t and are delighted with their new quarters. The architects were Messrs. w. Chamberlain X Company of Knox vile, Tenn. and the style of architecture used 'n the plans of the building was mostly composite. though there Is distinct tracing of Doric, Gothic and Greek styles discernabie while the dome of the building is som swhat on the order of dome on mosque, and the upper front of the structure is artistlcally finished and decorated with Mosaic tIling. The building Is three stories hgh and is built of pressed brick with ornamental stone work. The outside appaara1ce of the new Court House is handsome and presents a very attractive appearance while the dn- side is nicely finished and is equipped with. all of tho modern conveniences which are so necessary to building of this kind to make 1t complete in all of It's details. The ground floor. which is a half cellar and which rises about ten feet above the pavement will be fitted up with furnaces that will heat the building dur ing the winter and the rest of the floor will be used as a storage place. The second floor will be devoted entirely to the offices for the different county off, cials. The entire half of the south side
 
 Street, will be used as the Probate Of- flee. This room Is large and airy and is furnished with all the latest office fur niture and fiXings.
 The north side of the second floor is devoted to the offices of the other county officials and like that of the Probate Of- flee. they will be equipped with the latest office furniture. The walls of all the rooms are artistically frescoed and they all present handsome appearance. The third floor of the building has but two rooms, the larger one having a floor spa e of about 4ox20 feet and will be used as a court room. This room Is in keeping with the rest of the building and has been equipped with handsome furniture At the north end of the room is the judges desk while to the west Is the prisoners box and on the right or east side of the room Is the jury box. This room is very large and has been fur nished with a large number of chairs to accommodate the spectators and witness es which will assemble in the room when court Is in session The smaller room

DALLAS COUNTY.

 Dallas is one of the leading counties of the State. and is in the midst of the
 The county was formed in ISIS, and named after Mir. Alexander J. Dallas of Pennsylvania. Lying in the very hea-t of the great Cotton Belt, and enjoying to the fullest all the favorable conditions belonging to this famous section. Dallas stands in the van of the counties be- longing to the great commonwealth or Alabama. It has an area of sSo square miles.

As 1t IS becoming more populous it is being more and more devoted to agricultural pur- suits. Cotton and corn are found to do we'll in that section. North Dallas IS elevated and is we'll adapted to farming and stock-raising. The. soils upon the table-lands are red and gray. Passing the hill country, toward the center. we reach the sandy lands, which prevail for considerable distance, broken only Dy the streams which traverse 1t in several directions. In the western portion of the county is the famous canebrake region. which, for fayorableness of surface ana productiveness of soil, can not be eM- celled. Lower down, upon the western border, Is found variable soils and a va riety of forest growth and field vege- tation.

Selma is yroud of the fact that it is the home of Senator Edmund W. Pettus. the old war horse'' of the Alabama De- mocracy. and one of the States most highly horored and greatly beloved citi- zens. In war and in peace he has made Q record of which any man might well be proud, and which is worthy the iml- tation of every young man in Alabama. He fought for his country and for his State, and in every conflict he was at the front, whether of arms or In the po- litical arena When the reconstruction pe- service and took prominent part in shak- ing off the yoke of oppression and of bringing us back to condition of pros an office seeker and outside of his profes- sion never held any office of political nature, until called from private life to the present high and exalted station, he at first gained distinction and was ac- corded rank rarely accorded to new members of that great and august body and he has sustained it from the begin ming. going steadily forward until today no Senator on either side wields greater or more potent influence, while in his own State he Is loved and honored as few men have ever been before him. ana his wise counsel and sturdy. unerring judgment Is still sought after and foi- lowed by his people. The Senator's term expires on the 4th of next March, and unless all signs fail he will not only Do honored with a return, because of the custom, but because he has deserved It, and if he is to have opposition, which has not yet been made known, the man who has the temerity and boldness to put himself in his way will meet with a more crushing defeat than was ever ac- corded to any one in the political history of the State, And in the light and re- collection of very recent events in Ala )ama that is saying a great deal.
 The Senator is a hard worker, and the following Is told of him as characteristic of his daily routine at the National Cap ital:

enough to report that the charges could be substantiated. but he added the rec markable recommendation that nothing be done as it would only involve a num- Der of other high officers. And nothing was done. In view of his recommenda- tions in the Metcalf case the men who brought the Philippine atrocities to light are wondering what Crowder will suggest in the present instance.
 There appears to be no doubt as to the correctness of the charges made by Prl- vate Wier agalnst Lieutenant Arnold. They have all the mint marks of hon. esty. They were contained in {. private letter home and were probably never n- tended for publicity in that form Had Wier attempted to write an article for publication, in seeking to embellish 1t he would probably have lost the strength of ths plain. unvarnished narrative ta his uncle. in which he has shown Arnold and his Sergeant Edwards. two fiends worthy to rank with Tarquemada. He shows that they not only submitted their helpless prisoners to the water cure, beat them while down with rattans, rubbed the skin and flesh off their shins with rough sticks, hung them up by the thumbs and neck until nearly dead. and finally tore the skin from the quivering flesh by slow Arnold. who has been away from his post on leave, has been ordered back, and one of the possibilities of Cr5wde-'s visit may be a belated court martial.
 War Department Smoked Out.
 The Democrats appear to have at last succeeded in smoking out the War De- partment. In fact almost all of their at- tacks at this session of Congress have been directed at that branch of the Gov ernment under the supervision of Secre- tary Root. His personality had as much to do with this undoubtedly as anything else. It was his action in coming out Immediately after the Thurber scandal and attempting to justify it. that ed more than anything else to lose the fight for Cuban reciprocity and caused Roos.- welt to receive the worst turn down that has been sustained by any Republican President in recent times. He has con- ducted his office with an autocracy that no other Cabinet officer has assumed.
 InasmIch as General Alger had fol- love- sderent course with such disast- p U to himself. the members of
 ess were willing for a while to hu- lsnor Mir Root especially as the lovable personality of President Mckinley acted as s counter irritant. The fact that President Mckinley wanted him went long way in his favor. But MT. Roosevelt traits of the late President. He is in- clined to be as blunt in his way as Nil. Root.
 Senators Are Sore.

Steamer Elizabeth Goes ON the Docks.

The steamer Elizabeth was hauled
on the Manchester docks this morn
ing for repairs, the boat having
slightly damaged her hull by finding
low water in the fifth pool of the
Monongahela river. Rivermen are
of the opinion that all sidewheel
boats will have to tie up, in face of
the fact that the Monongahela river
is slackwatered. The lowness of the
river in a measure is attributed to
the rottenness of some of the dams,
which are unable to hold the water,
as it is constantly being drained
away. No rain has fallen to replen-
ish the stream. An effort is being
made to charter boat to take the
Elizabeth's place. The Gertrude
will continue in the trade for the in
dependent line for the present. The
Elizabeth will be on the docks only
for day or two. What is needed
is hard rain to put more water in
to the Monongehela. Heavy rain
just now would be the greatest
benefit to the entire valley.
