catching the enthusiasm Of the goo(
'oads movement The National Dairy
Union is ono of the greatest farmers
organizations in the country. LII
power was shown last year when i
secured the passage through Congress
If the Oleomarsarine bill. 1t looki
now as if the union will take up the
ight for National aid in road improve
nent. Secretary Chas. Y. Knight re
Gently expressed himself as follows
concerning the Brownlow bill:
in company with hundreds Of thou
sands Of other people throughout the
United States. l am very much inter
.sted in this bill. l have just returned
from tour Of Italy. France and Eng
land. where 1 had an opportunity to
observe the character Of the roads in
those countries. Coming home and
looking over our miserable facilities
for getting around in the rural dis
tricts. l made up my mind that it will
be necessary for this country to do as
European countries have done in order
to get good roads, i. e., have Govern
ment aid.
THE National Dairy Union is or
ganized throughout the North in every
Congressional District which has any
amount of agricultural constituency,
and am firmly of the opinion that the
progressive farmers who are dairy
men will be in favor Of the bill for
National aid. I am 80 much interested
in it's success that am willing to use
my influence to have our dairy farmers
petition for the passage of this bill. I
would be willing to give several hun
dred dollars out of my own pocket to
see the roads Of this country improved
like those Of France"
To many it will doubtless be news to
learn that something very similar to
the proposed cooperation Of State and
Nation has been going on for many
years in the building Of Mississippi
levees. In a recent report on this sub
ject Colonel Amos Stickney. President
of the Mississippi River Commission,
said:
"The allotment for levees for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1908, was
81 100000. and the expenditure of
like amount, under contract, is author
lied for the ensuing year.
"Ths total amount expended by tho
United States upon levees from the
beginning Of that class Of work in
1882 to June so, 1902, il s1o,5SO.e14.17.
The total contents Of levees along the
River is now about 17O,-
100000 cubic yards, about ons-half of
which has been placed by the United
States, the other half being tho work
Of State and local boards. The amount
Of money expended by these organiza
tons is not known.
There are ordinarily no restrictions
placed upon the expenditure Of allot-
ments, but all allotments are some
times determined by the amount of
work that local authorities can do in
with or supplementing Gov
work to make it more effec.
i've.
''The funds applied by the State and
~ local boards are understood to be
derived from special taxes authorized
~ the respective Legislatures"
Here wehavej just such cooperation

on the other. rs is proposed in

SITUATION NOT SERIOUS.
Little Danger of Trouble in Mace
 doflfa


 London, Aug. 7.-Confidential official reports received at the foreign ofiice re. garding Macedonia have caused the Brit. ish government to adopt the view that the situation is not very serious for the moment, although sufficiently so to war rant the taking of precautions.
 The Porte is looked to re-establish ors der on its own territory. and the British officials do not believe that Turkey con templates an attack on Bulgaria, in view of the known attitude of the powers, es- pecially Russia and Austria.
 As far as officials representing Balkan states here are aware. the Macedonian committee does not possess sufficient funds to inaugurate a successful revolu- ton, but it hopes by continuing the ex- isting unrest to ultimately bring about the interference of the powers. which signed the Berlin treaty.
 Joseph Angeloff, the first diplomatic agent of Bulgaria in London, said to-day in an interview:
 But for the far-seeing policy of Prince Ferdinand and the iron hand he has on the Bulgarian ministry, there would cer- tainly have been a general uprising on behalf of Macedonia. The feeling at the aid of Macedonia, but this cannot be. We shall continue to make representa- tions to the Porte for reforms and bet ter government in Macedonia. Bulgaria is disturbed to the quick over Mace donia, but there will [, be no disturbance of the political peace"

hind which was Memoli's Band. The sol diers came down the Avenue marching to the inspiring strains of "Hiawatha."
 Several hundred people had gathered along the sidewalks and in the streets to watch the passing of the regiment. The line of march was down Dexter Ave- nue to Commerce Street down Commerce to Bibb Street and down Bibb to Lee Street where a short rest was taken.
 After a few minutes rest the regiment was again put in march. The three bat talions were thrown into street columns, that is the four companies comprising them were formed into a hollow square with the mounted officers in the center. In this formation the regiment marched back to the capitol. In spite of constantly passing street cars the lines were well maintained and the regiment made a splendid showing.
 Nearly all the companies had been issued new uniforms and the regiment as a whole made an excellent showing The companies, for National Guard com mands. were large. Some of them had membership large enough for the regular army.
 The men bore themselves well and the various commands were executed prompt ly. The regiment was the recipient of many compliments. It was commended for its size. the bearing of the officers and men and its promptness in the execu- tion of orders.
 Companies Noticed.
 Company of Selma one of the large commands of the regiment attracted much favorable notice The men of the com pany were all attired In new khaki uni- forms and they showed up natty and sol- dier-like.

 The select committee of the City Coun- ell of Montgomery appointed at a meet ing Thursday night to investigate charges of fraud on the part of Alder purchase by the city of a gravel pit from J. c. Carter. met yesterday after noon in the Council Chamber and or ganized.
 Nathan Lobman. Alderman from Ward 5. was elected chairman of the commit tee. It was the sense of the committee that all sessions should be executive.
 The first meeting of tine committee will be held this afternoon at o'clock. A number of witnesses have been subpoe- naed to testify in regard to the reports of corruption. The committee would not divulge the names of the witnesses. An official stenographer will be present. and the evidence will be taken verbatim. This testimony will be submitted to the City Council along with whatever recommend tion the committee may make.
 No one with the exception of the com mitteemen and the attaches will be al- lowed to hear the evidence of the wit resses. and the compiittee urges that
 
 that fraud was practiced should go be- tore the committee and state tl.ese req sons.
 It is understood that Mayor-elect Thomas H. Carr will be an important witness. When seen yesterday afternoon in regard to the matter Mir Carr said that he preferred not to discuss the in- vestigation as 1t was now in the hands of committee.
 City Attorney Bibb Graves will be pres ent at all meetings of the committee. which is composed of Aldermen Nathan Lobman, Gaston Gunter and c. P. Mc- Intyre.
 It will be remembered that at the last regular meeting of the City Council a resolution was adopted providing for the purchase of the Carter gravel pit for $500. Rumors immediately began cir cuiating that Aldermen had accepted money or were otherwise influenced in the part they played in having the reso- lution passed.
 The vote by which the resolution was passed. was as follows:
 Hartley, Haygood, May, Fleming, John son-S.
 Nays-Aldermen, Rushton, Lobman. Anderson, Mcintyre, Farley, Kohn-6.
 At a called meeting of the Council Thursday night, Alderman Gunter intro duced a resolution providing for this in- vestigation committee fin order that the Council might be relieved of all stigma or impeachment proceedings be brought against the guilty persons.

 New York.-Cures for c. Endicott AL lens strange affiiction are pouring into Long Branch from all parts of the coun- try. Allen has been asleep, except at slight intervals. for the last six weeks. He has been a patient at the Monmouth Memorial hospital for i've weeks. His present condition was brought about by overwork and anxiety
 Allen is being treated by electricity. He drinks three quarts of milk daily and is aroused two or three times a day. He remains awake less than three minutes at a time. His mind Is a blank regard ing his present ailment. and how 1t was brought about, he being able to refer only to incidents which took place in his childhood.
 Remedies are being received by the dozen. One person suggests music, an- other hugging, while a Prof. Herman wants to hypnotize Allen. The latest person to come forward is a woman from Westerly, R. I. She writes to Drs. Whit more and Shaw as follows:
 read an account of c. Endicott AL lens strange sleep. I know of young woman who was similarly affected. I make an ointment which cured her. One application is all that was needed. It destroys germs. and is as harmless as skinned milk.''
 The woman says she will send a sam pie box without cost If the doctors SO desire. All cures by mail are ignored. as are requests for photographs of the sleep CT. who is not even seen by visitors.
