BONDS FOR ROADS
REVENUE BOARD CALLS FOR VOTE
 OF PEOPLE.
Election Will Be Held to Determine Qu@ktion of Raising @2z5,000 to Complete Road System of
 Montgomery County.

The Board of Revenue yesterday pro- vided for an election on the question of issuing $275,00O in bonds for the ex- tension and completion of the fine sys- tenn of roads in Montgomery County The matter was presented to the Board, together with a largely signed petition, favoring the project, by Charles E. Teasley, nominee to the State Senate from Montgomery County
 The vote on the bonds will be held at the regular November election. The people, by their votes, must confirm the bond issue and the Board must again approve it, before the issue be- comes effective. The issue was op- posed by Charles L. Matthews. member of the Board, and favorable action was had upon 1t only after a considerable discussion, which, at times, threatened to become as warm as the weather. MT. Mathews was opposed to immediate action upon the proposition for the is- suance of the bonds, but the motion carried.
 The action of the Board yesterday in- structed the county attorney to draw up legal and suitable resolutions pro viding for the vote of the people on the bond issue. The Board stands commit. ted to pass the formal and legal reso- luton at It's next meeting.
 While Montgomery County has one of the finest systems of county roads in Alabama, it is not yet complete. There are some sections of the county in which there are no gravelled roads, and the proceeds from the new bond issue are to be set aside to the extension of tn gravelled roads into those sections that do not have them.

 Editor The Advertiser:
 My estimate of the cotton, crop for 1906-07 is 11.S00.000 bales. The general prominent features of this crop is, first, the large stalk; second, only one crop.
 ''1n the eastern belt too much rain followed two of the largest crops ever produced. In the western belt, the in- sects are causing more damage than Is realized by the public
 T think in many points this crop compares closely with the crops of 1884. 1893 and 1908. They all turned out dis appointing from causes not noticed un- til picking was far advanced. The wise farmers will not sell much of this crop until picking is well advanced in each State. J. l.. Dalton.
