 The immediate and primary secret of the towns great musical prominence lies In its possession of one of the most superior institutions for the education of women ever developed In the south Converse College, the delight ans glory of the Festival.

COURT HOUSE FIGHT
TROUBLE CAUSED OVER LOCATION
 IN CLAY COUNTY.
Linevf1Ie Cftixeas Present Petition ta Governor to Have Building Re- moved from Ashland--Latter
 Place Now Erecting Structure.

The old court house fight between Ashland and Lineyiile has been reopen ed, and there is plenty of trouble up in Clay county The Lineville peo" pie are demanding a court house elec- tion, and dissension is growing in Clay.
 The representatives of Lineville have filed with the Governor a petition ask ing the chief executive to order an election on the question of moving the court house from the old town of Ash land to the new town of Lineyille The petition professes to be signed by q majority of the registered voters or Clay county. It Is up to the opposition to show the petition Is not signed by a majority of the registered voters, and that it therefore does not fully comply with the law.
 Governor Jeiks has notified the op- position to the petition. which in this case, is made up of the friends Of Ash land. He has notified them that the petition has been filed, that they make copy of the names attached to It. and make a showing that there are not enough on the petition if they can.
 Special interest is lent to the fight by reason of the fact that hand some new court house Is now under process of construction at Ashland. The corner stone to this building was laid some time ago by Lieutenant Gov ernor R. M Cunningham, and work on the new building has gone merriiy on. For the Ashland people were ex- pectIng some sort of fight from their neiRhbors over at Lineville. Already considerable feeling has been reused on the court house fight, and # has cut a figure in all the politics in the county.
 Clay county has shown rapid de- velopment in recent years, and 1t is today one of the most prosperous ag- ricultuFal counties in the State. The financial independence of the farmers of the county surprises all visitors to Claw LineyilIe has grown more rap idly than any town in the county ana it now feels in position to challenge it's older neighbor, Ashland. to fight to the finish.
