A Boy Who Grew Fast.

Joseph Powell, 13 years old whose home is in New Albany, Ind, has grown twelve inches ill height in the last six months, and broken his .kin, which did not in crease in size at rate as fast as that of the rest of the body. During some of the time that the boy was growing he was at the point of death from typhoid fever. That he was growing was first noticed when he complained that his cot was too snort, and he had to be placed on bed. He became ema ciated. and there was not q pound of flesh on his bones. turn for the better came and the boy began to improve His skin did not grow so fast as the bones, and the flesh began to crack and separate par ticularly on the arms and legs. He suf- fered greatly from this stretching of the skin, which became as tight as a drum head. and finally burst The breaks in the skin are now healing. and the physi- sians think that scars may not be left
 The boy was at an .ge when he would be expected to grow. and being in bed for so many weeks assisted nature in in easing his height When taken i'll the youngster was four feet tall Or leaving bed he lacked but a half inch of being five feet tall. His growth was at the rate of half an inch week.

GOOD ROADS CONFERENCE.
xnternational Body to Meet Feb. 18th
 in Detroit.

The international conference on good roads, to be held in connection with the annual meeting of the American road makers at Detroit. Mich., Feb. 13 and II, bids fair to be the most important meet ing of its kind ever cid. Several Gov arnors. besides Governor Bliss of Michi- gan, have accepted invitations to be pres ent and take part in the discussion of xhe important measures to be brought be kore the conference. Several hundred de- egates have been appointed by about a score of Governors, and 1t Is expected that every State in the Union will be represented. A score of Congressmen and Senators have accepted the invitation to be present
 The Trunk Line Association has granted special rates to the members of this con- ference and to the members of the Amer ican roadmakers which means that trans portation will be furnished to all such at the rate of a fare and a third.
 The program has been completed. The interstate highway bill, the Brownlow bill. the latter now before Congress, the con- vict labor, State aid and State instruction bills. are all questions of prime impor- tance which will be thoroughly discussed by the leading officials and representatives of various States, together with dist!n- guished good roads advocates in the Unit cd states and from the Dominion of Can ada

ENTICED LABOR AWAY
JOHN COLBERT, A NEGRO, AR
 RESTED ON THIS CHARGE.
Said to Have Engaged in a Move ment Which Sent Many Labor CTS from Emore County
 to Mississippi.
I3 Commerce St.

For enticing contract labor away from the State of Alabama, John Colbert, a ne- gro. was arrested in Montgomery yester- day by Detective Paul Rapport on war rant sworn out in Fillmore County. There are statutory provisions against the enticement of la borers from the State. During the past few weeks many com piaints have arisen that this law was being violat ted especially as regards hands employed on many Fillmore County farms.
 Colbert is said to be one of the agents of a Mississippi concern. name unknown, which is said to be at the back of a movement to entice lot Of intelligent . farm hands away from Alabama to work the fields of Mississippi.
 It is said that during the past few weeks, train after train loaded with ne- groes holding in their hands contracts which promise them big money, have left Fillmore County for Mississippi.
 A prominent Montgomerian, who owns farm lands in Fillmore County. said yes- terday- that although he mad suffered from no scarcity of laborers- he had heard complaints from his neighbors as to va rious instances of enucement from their farms It seems that a white man, for merly an overseer in Fillmore County. has . contract with Mississippians to furnish them negro laborers and is endeavoring to draw on Elmore County for his sup ply. Montgomery negroes are said to be agents for him.
 The negro arrested yesterday Is appar- sntly well educated and dresses and talks well. He says that he has heard of the inducements offered to Alabama laborers to move to Mssissippi but has not been employed in any such undertaking. : Colbert is in the county jail Sheriff w 70. Robbins of Elmore County will come to Montgomery for him today.

There have been many expressions from Congressmen and Senators favoring the project. but who will be unavoida ply de- tained at Washington on the date of the meeting.
 The American Road Makers Associa- tion Is a unique organization of its kind as it is the only one having a limited and paid membership. There can be but ten members from each State. The mem- bership is limited so as to provide for equal representation of every State and Territory and at the same time prevent any possible dominance of the organiza- ton by any one section of the country in the future. Because of the limitation, it cost something to join and something to maintain a membership. Amendments to the Constitution will be submitted at the Detroit meeting providing for State auxiliary associations in order to admit the hundreds of good roads advocates who have been clamoring for admission In this way the national organization will be enabled to call to its aid a large num- Der of influential good road advoca tes throus hout the country and thereby in- crease its power to promote the better ment of national highways.
 The ,Brownlow bill, which is now before Congress. will be thoroughly dissected anu u supsutute VIII be drawn up and put into the hands of a national com mittee with instructions to secure the necessary amendments to the Brownlow bill as It now stands. It contains many defects and does not sufficiently safeguard the Federal interests. Its good features were taken from the State aid bill which has been in operation in New York State Tor several years to such good advantage and 1t is hoped and expected that the re- vised bill which will be favored by the American road makers will be a more perfect copy of the New York State aid bill.
