sioner should establish a uniform width country roads, and straighten them out so as to avoid future law suits. He says all roads should be laid out under the supervision or sanction of the state com missioner and a record be kept of the survey so as to make the title to abutting land clear. MT. Moore says many law suits have arisen from the slip-shod way of running roads anywhere over any body's land whenever near cut Is de- sired. He thinks all public roads should be uniform and as straight as the cir cumstances permit.
 It Is probable that the matter of state commissioner of highways or public roads will be brought before the good roads convention, and bill may be framed and presented to the next Legislature.
 
 Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company.
 Engineer Erwin of the good roads train came in just as the conference was end- ing and said the machinery wss ready to proceed the minute the rain ceased.
 When all is ready for beginning the road building photographs will be taken of the present road and when 1t is com pleted others will be taken for com parison.
 Ine gOOQ TOduS convention VIII meet tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in Seals hall and delegates are expected from every town in North Alabama. Promi- nent men from all sections have accepted invitations to address the convention on the subject of good roads and the meet ing will probably continue until the end of the week. The sessions will be limit ed to one hour-from 10 to II O o'clock-and the visitors will then go to the roadside and watch the actual work.
 RAIN WILL NOT t,si
 HURT EXPERIMENT.
 MT. Eldridge, who is an expert on the composition of various soils, believes the rain will not hinder the work to a great degree provided it stops raining this morning, as the soil is not sticky and can be readily worked. MT. Eldridge represents the government bureau of public road inquiries, and says these demonstrations of improvement in public highways will eventually become a great thing for the country.
 "The people have to be educated on this subject, and I can conceive of no better way of educating them than show ing them exactly how roads should be made We have the most modern ma chinery and competent engineers who 'ie'S i'"NS e hAc Stuuy OL lHiS SuDJecI.
 From lack of information much honey has been squandered on roads in rural counties,' continued Mir Eldridge "and this has done much to hurt the work of good road building. For instance I be- lieve an Alabama county has spent a large sum of money on public roads and because the roads were not properly built they have washed away and the people are dissatisfied. For this reason we de- sire large attendance at our demon strations"

great deal Of trouble and expense to Sc
lect the proper people to portray the very
