GENEVA COUNTY
 HAS SCR|MMAGE Geneva and Samson Both Want the New COun-
 ty Courthouse

Montgomery, February 2L-(Special)- A scrimmage that bids fair to be of big dimensions is being shaped up in Geneva county over the rebuilding of the county courthouse if gossip that can be heard in this city is to be credited. It is de- clared that the town of Samson, in Ge- neva county. is making strenuous eff fort to become the county seat. over the head of the town of Geneva, which has heretofore held that honor
 Last week the courthouse at Geneva caught fire and burned to the ground, entailing loss ol about $25,oo0, fully covered by insurance In order to re- place the building at once it Is under stood that the Geneva county commis- soneis are already holding sessions and considering plans. They are said to be leaning on the side of the town of Ge- ncva, which is the present county seat.
 Before a change in the county seat can be effected an election is required to be held in that particular county From what can be gathered, it is under- stood that the Samson advocates are laying plans to have such an election held. The Geneva townsmen are equally as enthusiastic to forbid the election
 It is further said that Samson is get ting ready to enjoin the county from rebuilding the courthouse at Geneva un- til an election can be held. Samson peo- pie are repS rted as declaring that their town is lara than Geneva, while they also add thaA it is more accessible and more centrally located.

HEAVY RAINS IN
 NORTH ALABAMA The Tennessee Is Rising and the Low Lands Are
 Covered

Decatur, February 27-(SpeciaD-Thc Tennessee river is rising today as re- suit of heavy general rains which fell yesterday and last night throughout this part of the state. Creeks are badly swollen and all low lands are covered with water.
 These rains have greatly interfered with farm. work in this part of the state. This is the time of year when farmers are usually busy breaking their lands for spring oats, cotton and corn. The rains will greatly retard spring blowing.
 A residence on Sixth avenue, New De- catur, belonging to David R. Lindsay, and occupied by Richard Sparkman, was totally destroyed by fire last night The loss was about $20OO, partially in- sured. MT. Sparkman was at home alone at the time, his wife being out of town on a visit It is thought that the fire was caused either by rats or by an electric wire, as there had been no fife in the house since last Saturday.
