agreement reached as to the division of
the state for the holding of United States
courts, was read with a great deal of in

to be framed by Congressman Clayton.
which is to provide for the holding of
a United States court in Selma, will be
pushed as rapidly as possible as the con-
tact has been awarded for the erection
of the government building in this city.
and 1t Is hoped to have the appropriation
doubled owing to the fact that court
room will have to be provided. The plans
drawn for the rostoffice building provides
for walls thick enough to permit of an
other story being added, and 1t is OBJ
vious that a great deal of trouble and
expense could he saved If the court is
