OIDLANDMARK TORN DOWN

Tuscaloosa, July 26.-(Special)-one of the ancient landmarks of historic Tuscaloosa was obliterated this morn ing when the last vestige of the old state bank at Tuscaloosa was de- stroved. Some weeks ago the State Bank building, in later years used oy | H Fitts as residence. was re- moved to make room for a garage. and now the banking house of J. H. Fltts S, Co, next door, has been demolished in the same general scheme of fn1- provement. "a
 When J. IT. Fitts bought the old State Bank building in 1868 and con verted it into residence the vault was removed and MT. Fitts hired sonle small boys Tom K. and Henry Jones' Festus Fitts, w. F. Fitts, Sr. Sew ana Ed Leach and Sam and Joe Pegues, TO clean inc mortar off the old bricks that formed the State bank vault. Then this excellent material, which had saferuarded so many millions, was used in building the vault in the bank ing house of J. H. tFitts & co, aoJa

 Today the last of the old vault was demolished and thus passes the last visible evidence of chapter in tae history of the state of Alabama wheh Tuscaloosa was in her glory and the capital of the rich young common wealth. The Fitts banking house was finally merged into the City Nationa'

SHIPPING LUMBER BY WATER

Tuscaloosa, July (Special)-Durins next week the Henderson Lumber com. pany will ship from it's immense sawmill a few miles above Tuscaloosa, 200900 feet of prime long leaf pine for export through Mobile, and indications are that about p per cent of the future output of the mill will be export stuff and will be shipped down the Warrior river on barges to be put aboard ship at Mobile. It is said that the Henderson people own the largest untouched area of pine yet available in Alabama, and have rail- road some 15 miles in length reaching out into this territory and bringing logs to the west bank of the Warrior The&nnill is located on the east bank and stheelogs are carried across from the cars on an aerial railway. s5tst<sf
 The finished product is loaded on baRes not 500 feet from the mil1,ss car ried~down to Mobile at a rate whichis said to save the shippers about 50. cents to SIPS a thousand. and loadeds from barge into the holds of vessels.
 Much activity is being manifested in lumber circles, and there is a brisk demand for export stuff. A large portion of this will be shipped via the Warrior, and it is said that if more equipment was available the movement would be considerably increased in volume.
 The Warrior river now affords an out
 
 tion, and the development in saw milling along the river for many miles is not able, small new mills are being erected and preparations being made for others. The numerous creeks and tributaries of the river are also being utilized.
 According to men who claim to be post ed on the situation the development dis cernable from the river and along the banks of the Warrior itself does not begin 10 measure the real work that is being done. On the larger creeks there are small mills being erected, and the lum- Der will be brought to the Warrior on light-draft flatboats and there trans ferred to the big barges; and in some in- stances the lumber is being hauled from the hinterland by team to the water way. There is said to be considerable activity as regards gum of all varieties, and other hardwoods, until lately rather inaccessible, but which now can be got ten out without much difficulty AS soon as crops are laid by and larger supply of labor is available the work will take on a greater impetus.
