 any county in the state, as is shown by the statemet of the outgoing county com
 missioners In fact, Tuscaloosa is prob ably in the best shape of any county in the state from the amount of money on hand and the outstanding indebtedness on
 bonds. All of the good roads of the county have been paid for, as the county built them, and there is now a nice sur plus in the treasury as shown in the statement made by Judge Brandon to the incoming board of revenue. The statement follows: We are turning over to you from the county treasurer to the credit of general fund, $74,550.90 credit of road fund, $7S83.04; credit of bond inter est fund, $S5236; credit of confederate soldiers fund. $9.23; special tax, s7651.
 The growth of Tuscaloosa can be seen in as short time as few months and that there is unity in the community
 that speaks volumes was the substance of a short address of Hon. Frank Gamble, formerly of Jasper, but now of the inter state commerce commission, with head quarters in Tuscaloosa, at the meeting of the Rotary club yesterday MT Gam ble was the only visiting guest at the meeting. Secretary Edmondson made a report of his recent visit to Washington. MT. B. B. Cooper, the retiring clerk of the circuit court was the host to the members of the Tuscaloosa Bar aSsocia- tfon at the Busy Bee cafe, and many fe- | lictations and good wishes were ex- tended At the conclusion of the meet | ing yon motion of Judge Van de Graaff
 and by rising vote of the bar associa- tion, Mr. Cooper was elected an honorary member for life as token of the high esteem and love in which he is held.
 The hearing of the case of the Tusca- loosa Board of Trade before9-Examiner Gibson of the interstate commerce com mission, which started last Wednesday, ] has been completed, and all of the visit ing railroad men and attorneys have left for their homes. Following the close of the testimony introduced by the rail- roads, two witnesses were introduced by the Board of Trade. MT. George Lit tie, assistant engineer in charge of the
 local office of the United States govern ment testified as to the traffic on the Warrior river, introducing the records Ithat have been made by the government. This was in rebuttal of the testimony in troduced by Dr. Dulaney of the Louisville and Nashville and other witnesses of the carriers. Following MT. Little, MT. Owen Meredith. agent of the local steam boat line was introduced and testified as
 to the freight that arrives and departs
 on the steamboats from Tuscaloosa. The

He had heard of few such, but now they seemed to have multiplied terribly in number Cora was facing the same fight Nor was there anything he could do to shield her from the onslaught of the furies which were so certain to ravage her with their tortures and which might even destroy her.
 He went back to her room on some pretext and found her as he had left quietly sewing. She smiled as he came in. How could she be so much at peace, joyful even, in a quiet profound way! Could she know what was before her? Of course. she knew. And yet she could look up and smile quizzcally at him. He felt awe in the presence of such cour- age. His fears for her did not diminish, but her smile of courage gave him something of the temper wft6 which to await the inevitable.
 Was it worth the great chance? Noth- ing on earth could make up to him the loss of her. There, the vague and yet so expressing weight of the unknown to- morrow for Cora was haunting him again.
 Cora looked up at him between stitches at the downy bit of material she was shaping into a ludicrously small sleeve. She knew what was going on in David s mind She felt an inexplicable sense of protection both coming from him and still more due from her. She knew so infinitely more than he at this moment. though what it was she knew she could not tell Only she was conscious of an nstinctive mother wisdom that told her just what was troubling the big child before her and just how to dspel the phantom

 There's a popular song from a comic opera now going the rounds the refrain of which is:

 A little bug got me long time ago; yes, 1t was movie pug ana what more a Frank Keenan bug.
 As long ago as when this splendid ac- tor played in Belasco's wonderful produc- ton of "The Girl of the Golden West" with Blanche Bates in the title role, l have been a Frank Keenan bug.
 If you remember, Frank Keenen created the part of the sheriff and so convinc- ing and so appealing was his art, so realistic the type of western sheriff that his creative genius portrayed, that the great Puccini, on a visit to this country after seeing MT. Belasco's play, asked to write an opera using the play as a libretto, which he did, MT. Amato play ing the part Frank Keenan created.
 Ever since then the Frank Keenan bug has been in evidence in my theatrical mind, plainly nominating him as one of the most capable actors, both on the le- gitfmate stage, and the screen that l have ever seen.
