ilisOn at Centre Point Had Been
 Empty Since 1905.

Centre Point, April 6.-The jail building here, which has stood vacant and unused since the county seat was moved to Nashville in February, 1905, is being torn down by the present owners
 The jail was erected in the spring of 1899. The late John A. Hughes was the commissioner appointed by the County Court to have the building g erected and Storm & Reddin were the contractors. The late Rufus D. Neal was the county judge and S2,500 was appropriated to pay for the building. 1t was wooden structure 20x30 feet, but there were several thousand feet of lumber in it. There were three rooms, the largest containing a steel cell for the more desperate criminals. Thirty-six kegs of old-fashoned wrought-iron nails were used in it's construction
 Two men were hanged on scaffolds built adjoining the jail. Miller Davis was hanged for the murder of Callie Dollerhide, convicted in this county on a change of venue from Sevier county, and Lathe Hembre was hanged for the murder Of man named Mills in Polk county, the case being trans ferred to this county from Polk.
 A young man named Kelly, who was confined in the jail on the charge Of killing his brother with baseball bat, committed suicide on the night before the day set for the examining trial, by hanging himself with a sus- bender.
 While it was a wooden structure, it was built in such way that there were very few escapes from it. X

4. POCKET OF OIL

Nashville, April 7-Quite greaS deal of excitement was occasioned in this section this week by the strikinc of a pocket of oil in a water well bel ing drilled in the yard of Frank SchodE ley The we'll had been drilled to depth of 440 feet, when the driller nos ticed a thick, black fluid on the slusS Dit, bubbles coming from the well and bursting on the pit. An examination Of the fluid proved it to be live oil with heavy gas content. The well was only a three-inch hole and thd driller was afraid to proceed with his light machinery and shut down foj some time. Later, however, the wei was drilled deeper and the oil pocket cut off, oil drillers who rushed to the scene thinking it safe to proceed. | is the belief of the oil drillers whr visited the well that a pool exists at [ greater depth.

You cant learn an old dog new tricks" is an old saying, and may do very well when applied strictly to dogs, but there is room for argument there. It certainly is not the right Kind Of dope to feed to people. The man who believes that he cannot learn any new thing was simply a fool from tae beginning, or he has allowed his brain to petrify. Edison and host cf other old men are leading the world ia new fields of every kind. The hu- nan mind is thing that broadens with use and human experience If we get into a rut and refuse to accept or learn anything new, it IS because we have simply accepted an old gag as gospel. The opportunity schools have amply proven that the adult who has never learned to read, makes much more rapid progress than does the child. And why shouldn't he?

PATTERSON PLEASED
BY PEACEFUL OUTCOME
Commission Glad Birmingham
Traction Issues Settled

The Alabama public service COM
mission is pleased at the get-together
spirit which has been shown by mem
bers of the Birmingham city council,
and officials of the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company,
and which has resulted in the settle
ment recently reached between the
two parties, and In all probability
will take favorable action when the
settlement is presented to it for au-
thority to carry out the terms, de-
clared A. G. Patterson, Albany and
Decatur, president Of the public SER
vice commission, in discussing the
issue Thursday night.
Mr.. Patterson said that no formal
petition had been presented to the
commission as yet, and, therefore, he
could make no definite statement as
to what step should be taken, but
that he could see no reason why au-
thority to act in the matter should
not be granted.
TT is always the attitude of the
public service commission to look
with favor on any matter which is
conductive to the best interests of
both parties involved. From press
reports which have published the
utility settlement, it looks as though
everything had been concluded sat
isfactorilN and therefore the public
service commission will do all in it's
power to get the final details of the
controversy finished"

SAVINGS ASSOCIATION
INCREASES CAPITAL;
GOES TO $25,000,00
Security Company Began
Business In 1906 With
$25,00O-Dixon Head

The Security Savings and Loan as
ISOLATION, first to act under the
change in the law lifting the limit of
capitalization of building and loan
associations, voted Thursday to in
crease it's capital from 100000 to
$4,000, 900. This will enable the com-
pany to respond in a greater degree
to the unprecedented demand for
financing homo building and acquisi-
ton.
Outstanding item of operations for
first four months of the year was
the financing of 1873 homes involving
$279,000. This is at an annual rate OF
sS27 900. The increase of business for
the period was more than 100 per cent
over last year, owing to the activity
in acquisition of homes through the
building and loan process.
The security company was organ
lied In 1906 with a capital of $4,000.
1t now has assets of s1,250,000. F. w.
Dixon, organizer and president at the
beginning, is still president.
The company, like other Birming-
ham building and loan associations.
had used up it's authorized capital
in the financing of homes and in
IL operations were to keep pace with
BirminghamS remarkable home
building record.
The new authorized capital will be
used in proportion to the continuity
of the demand for home building
financed through building and loan
associations. Rapid absorption of the
added capital of building and loan
associations is indicated by the
enormous increase in such operations
and the growing use of the building
and loan association both as an in
"a
investment and loan ends caring for
one another.
