Jails and Court Houses.

The demand nowadays is for better
jails rather than for more jails," said B.
G Bynum of the B. c. Bynum Construc-
ton company of Montgomery. Mr.. Bynum
talked interestingly last night of the ten
deney to build more modern jais and
court houses throughout the southeastern
states
The problem is to make jals and pris-
ons so that inmates cannot escape, and
yet so healthful that criminals may live
in them without having their strength
impaired Thick walls, heavy bars and
strong bolts are not the only things need
ed in the modern Jail. The modern spirit
requires that prisoners be treated as hui
man beings and that they be given good
wholesome food plenty CT light and air
and up to date sanitary advantages. Gov
ernor Jelks enforced this idea recently in
newspaper article.
Throughout this territory there is a
growing demand for better court houses.
Counties in the southeastern states are
inclined to build structures that will be
architecturally attractive. like, for in
stance, to the county court house here in
Birmingham, which, by the way is one of
the most beautiful brick buildings in the
state"

Snyder's Niuht Storm.

The tornado storm which recently
swept across Marquette, Kansas, and
the later one that almost annihilated
Snyder, Oklahoma, illustrates the dam
gers that towns on the wide plains
are subject to. Ordinarily the small
end of the destructive funnel of a tor
nado cuts a swath about one hundred
yards wide, but the storm in Okla
homa seems to have been destructive
in belt half miles wide, and. to
have extended over a district forty
miles long. Its first appearance was
at Olustee, near the Texas line, and
there were traces of Ii in small towns
northeast of Snyder. Its extent, as
we'll as its virulence, was remarkable,
and the sum of its damage was lin
tied by the size of the towns 1t Wis
tied. All were very small except Sny-
der, a junction point on the Frisco
railroad, where about $500 people
lived.
The larger number of the danger
GUS storms of the far west occur In
the day time in connection with rain
storms and probably clashes of storm
waves of differing temperature. Hot
and cold waves seem to be essential
in the formation of the destructive
and unavoidable storms.
The storm at Snyder rushed on to
the devoted town after o'clock at
night, probably near 8 o'clock. 1t is
stated that the funnel-shaped cloud
was not seen in the storm as it APP
preached. but it was probably there
and the darkness concealed it. In
every other respect the storm had all
the characteristics of the tornado.
The lateness of the appearance of
the storm kept many out of the cy-
clone caves with which Snyder was
literally supplied. II the cloud had
come up in daylight hours the loss
would have been reduced at least one
half, for all would then have sought
retreat in the only known refuge
against a death-dealing tornado.

cent. The largest previous crop was
that of 1898, when 11,235,00 bales
were produced
Alabamas product was in the four
years preceding 1904 slightly in ex-
cess of a million bales, and the jump
in 1904 to 1,45S,966 bales broke all
previous Alabama records. When re-
duced to equivalent 500-pound bales
the record crop of this state stands
at 1,445,139 bales. 1t may be many
a year before Alabama grows a big
ger crop.
The bureau gathered statistics from
1912 active ginneries in this state
from 30,337 in the entire cotton belt.
An Alabama gin turns out an average
of 373 bales, while the gins in the
country produce on the average 445
bales. The last reports from the gins
were completed on March 10. and the
ginners at that time added estimates
OF the crop that remained unginned,
amounting to 1925 bales, and the
estimated bales are added to the fig
ures for bales actually ginned. No
better report is possible, or will be

Alabama Coal Lands.

There are now few If any undiscovered

field expert last night. THE boundaries
OF the coal fields have been accurately
determined There is. however, a great
deal of undeveloped coal property in the

Less than two years ago Pittsburg mill
lonaire named Boelshart purchased 21.000
acres between the Locust and Mulberry
forks of the Warrior river. The purchase
price was sS25. 900. The Lockhart estate
recently sold the property to ex-Gov. e.
e. Jackson o. Maryland for s525, OO0-mak-
ing profit of 100000 In less than two
years. Governor Jackson promptly sold
the land to the Pratt Consolidated for
s1,0o0.0oo-half of which was In bonds and
half In stocks. This will give an idea of
the enormous profits in Alabama coal
lands''
