CULLMAN BOASTS OF
100000 BUILDING.
Contractors Lose $4,000 on
Courthouse, Almost Ready :
for Occupancy
By HOP

cullinan. October .-(special)-Dob-
son &c Free. contractors. who are build
ing the Cullman county court house, an
nounced today that the building will be
turned over to the county authorities by
December l. The county of Cullman will
have a 100000 courthouse. which has
cost them but $4,000, and is paid for.
The loss by the contractors was contri-
buted by unusual conditions; first ex-
elusive white labor which cost them al
most twice as much as negro labor usual
~ costs. And the further fact that all
material used from sand up had to be
shipped None of it was furnished To-
cally. Judge Dan. w. Speake. who made
an inspection of the building today. said
it was the best courthouse in Alabama,
so far as he knew.
c. e. Murray of Decherd, Tenn has
leased 10 acres in the north end of the
town and will open up a stave mill. and
stock yards. The Commercial club of
Cullman has taken up the matter of ex-
tending the present temporary side track
and making it permanent for the mill
use, with Superintendent Brooks of the
Louisville and Nashville. Favorable ac-
tion will make a speedy opening of the
mill.
Congressman Burnett. the Little
Giant of the House, is in the city fore
stalling any attempt of other candidates
to swerve the voters.
The statement in The Age Herald on
Monday that the Cullman wells had Civ
en- out is incorrect. says Mayor Robert-
son. Nothing is wrong except the ma
chnery, which is being repaired as
promptly as possible. The wells are
fun of water, one of them never having
been used at ALL sr aa.

VIRGINIA BROOKS
TO WRITE NOVEL
Militant West Hammondite
to Add Another to Her
Accomplishments.

Virginia Brooks, who has seen
enough service 20 entitle her to the ap-
pellations of reformer, humanitarian,
politician and lecturer. is about to add
another distinction to herself-that of
becoming an author.
Any one who knows the initiative OF
the young woman sees nothing very
startling in the announcement that she
is to write novel. There is no ques-
tion about her capabilfty. She enjoyed
an excellent education in the fine arts,
but best of all, she has ideas of her
awn and can express them in forcefuI
language.
It is understood that some of the
West Hammond situations as she found
them in her militant career there. are
to be reflected to some extent in the
Forthcoming novel Whether any OF
he characters will represent herself re-
mains to be seen. Irasmuch as her ac-
tivities have been largely along sociol-
ogical lines, it is taken for granted
that her book VIII be along these lines,
too. It's publication is awaited with
interest.

thing that had considerable weight
with the members of the board in ar
riving at their decision is the fact that
a number of Scherzer bridges are al
ready In operation in the district and
all giving satisfaction. The Holman

to let the contract for the work at the
March meeting of the board. In case
this is done the firm receiving the con-
tract should be able. with any kind of
fair luck to complete the job this year.
