PRESIDENT PLAYS
 JOKE ON OFFICIALS
Leads Them Into Water Waist Deep With Their Patent Leather
 Shoes On.

Washington. October 21.--(SpeciaD.- Shortly before his departure south the President Is said to have played one of his strenuous jokes upon the new assistant secretary of state, MT. Bacon, and Clifford Pinchet, the forester of the department of agriculture. They were invited to take a walk with the President, and at the appointed hour arrived at the White House dressed in neat business suits, and patent leather shoes.
 The President greeted them in dilapi- dated Rough Rider costume, and they started off for the country. Following the line of the old canal the President, no bridge being in sight, suggested that they wade Bacon and Pinchot hesitated, but as the President plunged in up to his waist there was nothing for them to do but follow. When they got to the other side the Presidents clothes looked about the same but those of Bacon and Pinchot were beyond redemption.

One was registered and contained my bank book. which he carried with him and check to his trunk. The other contained a receipt for the registered let ter. Immediately after receiving these mystifying things came the intelligence that he had been found dead. I am sure grief over his loss caused him to end his life.'
 As soon as Mrs. Sde heard of her hus- bands death she went to Jasper, ae- companied by N. F. Johnson, friend of the family They found that he stopped at the Jesper Inn the night before and that he had made an affidavit before d notary that he had been robbed. The coroners jury returned a verdict that It was a case of suicide.
 The dead mans body was placed on the first train for Birmingham and was ac- companied by the widow and MT. John son. The funeral was held at II o'clock yesterday morning from the parlors of Shaw & Son. and the nterment was in Elmwood cemetery.
 Mir Johnson is as positive as Mrs. Sldel that Sidel shot himself. He says he never knew the dead man to carry or even own a pistol and that the man evidently i- tended taking his life when he left thu train at Jasper.

SPEAK IN PULLMAN.
General Brandon Says He Will Be a
 Candidate for Auditor.

Cullman, October 21.-(Special)-Under the auspices of the Epworth league, Col w w. Brandon and Rev. George N. Boyd, presiding elder of this district, de- livered two forcible lectures at the Methodist church last evening" both talk ing as their theme Young Manhood. - The discourse of the former was lengthy but instructive and highly interesting. Colonel Brandon is brilliant orator and never fails to capture his hearers and hold them in wrapped attention through out his discourse. In an interview with the gentleman regarding his political aspi- rations he stated positively that he would be candidate for state auditor at the coming election, and will make as active canvass as he is capable of doing.
 Rev Boyd made a short but impressive talk and very sarcastically scored the newspapers but failed to assign any req sons for the 'drubbing."

 w. c. Whitmore of Trussville declares that the roads are in such shape that the coming winter is apt to cause serious fnconvenences to travcf2rs
 .'The roads around Trussville and be- tween Birmingham and Trussvilie are worse than they have been in several years" said MT. Whitmore. "The summer and the early fall have just passed, and from every standpoint the public high ways should be in fine fix But they are not and I fear that if the coming winter is a hard one the holes and ruts that have been washed in the roads will continue to grow larger. We are entitled to better roads, and I think that the board of revenue should give them to us."

He had come via Augusta. Ga. and after leaving Huntsville returned by way of Louisvil1e and Lexington.

 However the breath of the good people of Huntsville soon returned and they set aboiut to make the stay of the chief ex ecutive pleasant. A dinner was given by c. c.

East Lake Man Says the Roads in That Town Are Not Properly Cared For CHALKvIlLE FARMER
 EXPRESSES HIMSELF .. C. Truss Helped 10 Build Roads and Says That They Are We'll
 Constructed, But Need
 Repairing.

A number of representative farmers of Jefferson county discussed the condition of the public roads yesterday at w. s. Brown & Co.'S store, and the unanimous opinion was that the public highways need attention and need it badly. Many planters declare that the roads are worse than they have been in several years, while others assert that general repair ing would put the roads in fairly good shape.
 During the past week number of citi- zens have expressed their opinion on the conditions of the roads have taken occa- sion to point out the way the several municipalities of the county have neglect ed the roads that run through their city limits. Yesterday number of East Lake citizens were seen in regard to the con- dition of the roads in that town and frankly admitted that they had not been kept up as they should have been. While they lament this fact they state. how ever that the city is powerless to better the conditions, as the city charter of East Lake positively forbids the city of fcials from levying any assessments on the property owners to improve and re- pair the streets abutting on their prop erty.
 Alderman D. D. McClendon of East Lake in speaking of the matter said:
 While we realize that the macadam- ized roads of East Lake have not been kept up as they should still under the existing circumstances it is impossible for rus to raise the money we need to re- pair our streets
 Considering Plan.
 Recently the citizens of our town have been considering a plan whereby we could raise funds for street improvement. Under our present charter the city can not levy any taxes for street improve ments, nor can we assess the property owners for improving the streets So linn ited is the taxing power of the city coun- ell that barely enough money can be raised to meet the current expenses and maintain the public schools
 T. Levy, a farmer of Chakville, in speaking of the roads between Chalkville and Birmingham, said:
 ''The roads of our part of the county and between my home and Birmingham, are not as good now as they have been. Instead of getting better, as we are natur- ally lead to suppose would be the case, in view of the large amount of money that is expended annually for the pur- pose of upbuildng the roads, they are getting rougher.'
 Constructed Well.
 C. C. Truss of East Lake, in discussing the public roads, said:
 Jefferson has some of the finest built macadamized roads in the country. l took part in their construction, and hence I know the time and money that was ex- pended in building these roads. It took
