suitable. most central and most Geo.

be to purchase the half block on Mar

would give a ground space Of about 200

is not feasible because of tho interrlip-

The worst enemies OF the Democratic
party are those who are to be found
within its own ranks. Captain Richmond

Sixth Alabama district over Mr.. Bank
head veteran who has served ten
terms In Congress. B. Hobson's platform
advocates appropriations to reach two
billions OF dollars in the course OF
few years for the purpose OF building
up gigantic navy. Yet Hobson claims
to be Democrat. We wonder whether

How to Make Good Roads.

consist Of four large mules, one four
horse plow (made for the purpose), one
two horse wheeled scraper and few
boxes OF dynamite Three good men hired
by tho month and heavy two. horse
wagon and tents for camping at night.
In this wagon would be carried food
for man and beast. tools and all the
camp equippage. The pillow, the
scrapcr, and Dynamite will be main
agents depended upon for bringing about
satisfactory results. The plow would ee-
vate the center OF the road bed and

HAYNES HESITATING /.
BETWEEN TWO MEN

1t is generally accepted by men in
a position to know, that Mayor-elect
J. G. Haynes is hesitating between
Colonel Frank T. Corriston and Alder
man John Ryan in selecting his super
1ntendent of police. Persons who saw
they have "tips from the inside'' as
to the appointment do not agree as to
the, identity of the man. Prophets are
inclined to favor Alderman RYAN on
the grounds that. his services as chair
man Of the campaign committee earned
him the. right to select: any position
IN the gift of Mr.. Haynes.
At the same time Colonel Corriston
IS highly recommended and some Of the
most influential men in the party are
supporting him. Personally he is do
ing little work. ..-.
In the event that the appointment is
made from the force, the knowing ones
pick Bernard Cloutier, court officer,
as having better chances than Captains

jutant to. the mayor, has been, informed
that he: will be retained. AS he was
