BIG TIMBER DEAL IN
TUSCALOOSA COUNTY
Tract Of Over $4,000 Acres
Changes Hands
PRICE ABOUT $50 ACRE
Preparations for Shipment of Coal to
New Orleans Pushed-Mystery
Concerns Disappearance
of Driver
PRICE ABOUT $50 ACRE

Tuscaloosa February S.--(Speciai. )-One
OF the largest deals ever made In Tus-
caloosa county was completed when Liv-
ingston Moore and associates Of River
Falls purchased the timber tract lying
between North river and the Warrior
river, known as the Joyce tract. This
tract consists of over 1900 acres of long
leaf yellow pine and the price for same
was about $50 per acre.
This is the largest single body of vir-
gin long leaf pine in this section of the
state and has never been developed be-
cause of lack of transportation facilities.
The natural outlet for this timber Is
down Yellow Creek to the Warrior river
and several surveys have been made along
that line in the past. An engineering
party has been at work in that vicinity
recently, but 1t has not been given out
whether It was the Louisville and Nash
Vile or Mobile and Ohio, both of which
have branch lines to Holt.
J. H. Bernhard, managing director Of
the Alabama and New Orleans Trans
porta ton company, is in Tuscaloosa this
week. pushing the preparations for the
shipment Of coal to New Orleans. This
company is building a large tipple, coal
washing. and loading station at the south
bend of the Warrior river about 10 miles
above Tuscaloosa.

Gentlemen of the General AS.

that I regret the fact that there
is a fight between two of your

give Winthrop College about
100000. The president of the
South Carolina College wen
North, and I am told that Mr..
Ansel has in his possession a
statement signed by the presi-
dent of the South Carolina Col
lege, that if the Peabody Fund
trustees would give to the South
Carolina College a certain amount
Of that money: that he, as presi-
dent of the South Caroli,4a Col
lege, would agree and consent
for the remainder Of that money
to go to the education Of free
negroes. l have tried to get a
copy'of that report, and have not
succeeded: out | have the word
of Prof. D. B. Johnson. the able
and distinguished president of
Winthrop, that that is true. And,
if it is true, certainly the presi-
dent of the South Carolina Col
iege has no place in the educa-
tional department of South Car
olina. If he would rather take
that money to educate negroes
than to give it to the white girls
Of South Carolina, he certainly
has no place during my admins
tration in any department Of the
government, or, particularly, the
educational department of the
State. You can get the informa-

Chicago, Nov. 2s.-Recent obstinate
tone in What and corn and provisions
should continue. Oats bears are less
confident. December delivery day
comes Monday next. There is no corn
TO deliver worthy the mention. De
cember wheat longs appear to have
liquidated December oats may be
actually oversold now. While hog
prices are reduced the real governing
statistics in provisions continue to pro-
vide bullish ideas The Jan. 1 report
on cellar supplies should be another
bear disappointment. We advise the
purchase OF May corn and May wheat
against a probable December rise.
Wheat cables are of Il. This suggests
an easier tone in early session. Liver
pool however, is a buyer and our
prices Of wheat are due to hold these
levels. Kansas state report on 1913

II is high time for some kind OF
