BIG DECREASE IN
MARCH REALTY SALES
MUCH MORE BUSINESS TRANS
ACTED IN MARCH, 1920, THAN
IN MONTH JUST ENDED.

(From Saturdays Daily Herald)
During the first two months of the
present year, real estate transfers in
the county declined more than mil
lion and One-half dollars under the
sales for the corresponding months
of 1920, and figures just compiled in
the Office of County Court Clerk Lips
comb, show that the sales for March,
1921, were far behind those of the cor
responding month of 1920. According
to the figures, realty transfers in
March, 1920, amounted to $244,43O,
while those for the month just ended
amount to $177,34O, or a difference of
$4,000 for the month. In March of
1920 several big auction sales of real
ty were held in the county, whereas
this year there have been no auctions,
accounting for the difference.

he could not resist the opportunity to
run out and spend the day with his

Mr.. Cason is optimistic over the bus
mess situation. He Is intimate with
the forces that know the nations con-
ditions and needs and he believes that
business will soon be ON the upgrade.
1T is a mistake, however" he said,
'for the people of America to think
that they can prosper without Europe
for they cannot. The nations of the
world are too intimately related to
each other in their business needs
and whenever conditions are such
that our old time trade with Europe
can be restored there will be a mar

eral prosperity will again be the por-

THE crux of our problem is the
fact that the worldwide interlacing

" iS''' ''Nes ~ SD'''J ''Si"''''
Bert Dedman has returned from
trip to Alabama, where he, has been
for the purpose of arousing interest in
the proposed Northern Alabama Ten
nessee baseball league Mr.. Dedman
is almost confident that the league will
be formed within the next two or three
weeks. Three towns, Columbia, Tenn,
Sheffield and Huntsville, Ala, have
already singned articles of agreement
and announced readiness to post for
felt money amounting to $1,000. One
more team is now needed to complete
the four club circuit, and baseball en-
thusiasts of the twin cities of Tlbany-
Decatur, Ala, have been interested in,
and arc now working upon the propo-
stion to enter into the league.

officers elected and the schedule for
the season worked out,
Gordon Cowie, local promoter, this
morning said to a representative OF
The Herald that he is more hopeful
of securing league ball now than he
has been at any time in the past.
The proposed four club circuit is. a
compact one, and the jumps between
towns will be short, cutting down the
travelling expense, which has caused
the death of more baseball leagues
than any other one thing.
1t is realized that the proposed en-,
trance of Columbia into the Cotton
States League with teams in Florida
and Mississippi would not have been
feasible on account of the enormously
increased expense of travel.
1t is believed that within the next
week something definite will be known
as to whether Columbia will play or
ganized ball this season or not.

AkNUL MARRIAGES
1EASIER THAN DIVORCE
AS RESULT GRAND JURY IN SAN

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-Di.
troublesome mates, are becoming i'm
fashionable in San Francisco, accord
ing to Superior Judge e. p, Shortall.
Annulments are proving less cum.
bersome and qucker-in fact quicker
than Reno. AS result the grand jury
is going to look into things a bit.
Persons who desire to travel their
paths singly after failing to pull prop
erly in double harness, have discoy-
cred, Shortall says, that they can
bring a suit for annulment, alleging
the other member of the partnership
had previous mate from whom there
was no legal divorce. The case is
tried and often, by agreement or on ac-
count of being unable to produce evil
dence it goes uncontested The mar
riage is annulled.
The minute the annulment is en-
tered both parties are free to marry
again, without the formality of wait
ing year.
But what interests the court is why
there have been no prosecutions for
bigamy growing out of the many an
nulments granted on the grounds of
bigamous marriage. Annulments have
averaged as high as seven a day for
a week during the last six months,
court records show.
