FARMERS TO START
 PRODUCE EXCHANGE
PLACE TO BE OPENED ON MORRIS AVENUE FOR HANDLING PROD. UcTs-MAY PROVE A FACTOR IN PRICES.

The proposition to establish a produce exchange on Morris avenue for the dis posal of the products of the members of the Farmers Educational and Co-Opera- tive union in Jefferson county, took on a live appearance when over 100 members of the union met at the headquarters here yesterday and perfected the plans for the opening of the exchange.
 G. H. Smith of Owenton, is president of the county union, and presided at the meeting, which was begun shortly after noon. The meeting plunged into the de- tails of the movement Immediately, and elected temporary board of directors of the exchange. MT. Smith was elected as temporary chairman of the board. Execu- tive session was gone into shortly after converting.
 The establishment it is believed will be an important factor in the regulation of the price of farm products here. Prop erty owners on Morris avenue have been consulted in regard to the rental of a storeroom, and a formal opening of the exchange will doubtless occur during the next few weeks. A successful operation of this exchange will be followed by the establishment of others throughout the state

REPUBLICANS PLAN
 COUNTY TICKETS
County Convention of Davidson Crowd Was Held Yesterday To Nom-
 mate Delegates.

The Jefferson county convention of the Davidson wing of the republican party was held in Magnolia hall yesterday. be- ginning shortly after noon and con- cluding before 2 o'clock. The attendance was large and the determination to fight to the last ditch for the supremacy in the Alabama republican ranks was very much in evidence. The dark skinned race was also very much in evidence, about one-third of the delegates being colored.
 Among the things done was the indorse- ment of the platform of the republican party and the nominating of delegates to the state and congressional conventions. Julius W. Davidson, state chairman, called the meeting to order, after which Alec c. Birch, ex-referee in Bankruptcy, was elected as chairman of the meeting.
 A number of the negro delegates were included in the list of nominees. Things worked smoothly with the exception of a few objections raised by one or two of the colored delegates.
 Julius w. Davidson was bubbling over with Joy last night saying:
 'Todays convention illustrates just how strong our crowd Is. It was one of the largest party conventions ever held in Birmingham and large number of prominent men were In attendance. It was decided to organize every beat and place a full ticket in the field. Every county office will be gone after from con stable to the highest county offices. To- days meeting was strong indication of the fact that Alabama republicans are solid on our side"

ROAD CAMP PA|CN IS
 FAIRLY LAUNCHED Overton Comments Fight Being
 Made In Jefferson HEADS NEW COMMITTEE Active Measures Will Be Taken To Se- cure the Passage of the overton
 Amendment to the State
 Constitution.
HEADS NEW COMMITTEE

Jefferson is to be congratulated on the enthusiastic campaign for good roads which I find in progress" said State Sem ator John W. overton, chairman of the campaign committee of the Alabama Good Roads association, yesterday. "I am glad to see The Age-Iferald taking such an active interest and no doubt great good will result.
 ''The question of working the convicts on the roads is up in several other coun- ties besides Jefferson. When all mat ters are considered, I can see no reason why the experiment should not be given a fair trial.
 The rest of the state looks in a meas ure to Birmingham for initiative along these lines. This being the richest and most important county in the state, it's action has great weight with other points.
 'Of course, convict labor as well as any other kind would require the best man agement. Trouble will in any system creep in where there is any carelessness."
 Meeting of Executive Committee.
 Mir. Overton was attending the meeting of the executive committee of the asso- ciation. At this session yesterday morn ing Capt John Craft of Mobile was unan- imously elected chairman of the commit tee and president of the association, to succeed the late B. F. Roden.
 MT. Craft made ringing speech in sup port of the Overton amendment to the constitution He said: Tt will allow tho establishment of a highways commission to build and instruct in the erection of good roads,
 The committee then elected Melville Drennen vice. president and Senator Over ton to the head of the campaign commit tee In accepting MT. Overton said:
 q have my whole heart in this work Something has been said of the good roads bill of which I have the honor of being the author. I want to say that if 1t had not been through the united efforts of the Good Roads association I would never have been able to pass the bill. The credit is due to the association. Later I propose to appoint campaign committee in each county of the state.
 Ut might be well to state at the out set Of this nght that the building of good roads is not a political question. It Is one that affects the whole civic. educational, religious and commercial welfare of the state of Alabama. We have Jagged far behind on the question of good roads. We have been asleep too long already. What we want now is workers in every county. More who are inspired with zeal and who can preach the gospel of good roads with an understanding. Let us de-

NOVELTIES FOR
 SOCIETY CIRCUS
Carnival of Dances Will BeAFeature. Sid B. Jones To Make Daring
 Jump.

The carnival of dances will be one of the most pleasing features of the Ath- letic clubs ninth Society Circus This dance is not simply the doing of a few fancy steps, but Is an athletic novelty which is the result of nearly two months hard and constant work.
 A novel sort of dare will be carried out at the Circus in the nature of a thrilling jump by Sid B. Jones, the most remark oble jumper, by the way, that Birming- ham or the south has ever produced.
 In discussing jumping last week Jones made the assertion that he could jump over three horses from the bare floor, without the use of springboards or other mechanical contrivances. Harry Miles, who was in the crowd, doubted this state ment, and dared Jones to try the stunt in the Society Circus. So the test will come off next Monday and Jones will prove whether or not he can jump over three live horses.
 Jones started his career as a cham pionship jumpers at New Orleans about IS years ago, and he has been winning championships ever since and is prepar- ing to do so again at the New Orleans meet this spring He has always con- ham Athletic club, and naturally that or ganization Is very proud of his perform ances.

MUSIC STUDENTS Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system of the musician is often very sensitive and any habit like coffee drinking may so upset the nerves as to make regular and necessary daily practice next to impossible.
 ''I practice from seven to eight hours a day and study harmony two hours" writes a Michigan music student Last September I was so nervous I could prac- tice only a few minutes at a time and mother said I would have to drop my music for year
 This was terribly dIscouraging as C couldn't bear the thought of losing a whole year of study. Becoming convinced that my nervousness was caused largely by coffee. and seeing Postum so highly spoken Of decided I would test it foN awhile.
 .'Mother followed the directions careful~ ly and thought I had never tasted such a delicious drink We drank Postum ev- cry morning instead of coffee, and by Noe vember I felt more like myself than for years, and was ready to resume mN music.
 .I now practice as usual, do my study ing and when my days work is finished I am not any more nervous than when I began.
 "I cannot too highly recommend Postun1I to musicians who practice half days My father is a physician and recommendo Fostum to his patients. Words cannot express my appreciation for this mosS valuable health beverage, and experienced has proven it's superiority over all othd CTS" There's a Reason

VIII Probably Hold Consultation With the Board of Revenue
 This Morning WANTS ID INVESTIGATE
 BEFORE GIVING OPINION
Incidentally Says Virginia Is Now Working ConvIcts On Roads and Experlmenters Are Delighted
 With Results Obtained.

Chief Government Road Engineer V. culture arrived in Birmingham last night. and Is registered at the Morris hotel. MT. Pelrce comes on the solicitation of Con- gressman Oscar w. Underwood to look into the road conditions of Jefferson county and to advise with the Board of Revenue.
 T have not the slightest acquaintance with local conditions,' he said, ''and cannot say anything until I look over the whole field. The good road movement seems to be rising one in Alabama, and I hope good will come of it.
 MT. Peirce will consult with the Board of Revenue this morning. He was urgent ly invited by the board, and they will place everything before him. Automobile rides over the roads of the county will be made and MT. Peirce will be given ev- cry opportunity to judge the local con- ditons
 question, the answer Of which is earn- estly awaited Is, whether it would be bet ter to retain supervisor, overseers and free laDOr, or tO use liiiilcufdtCAS tio Vo SOii victs which the contract with the Ten nessee company provides may be with drawn at any time, discontinue the flow of money from convict hire into the fine and forfeiture fund and turn 1t into the roads for the people, and try the Ramsay section plan in addition.
 When asked for his general opinion of convict labor last night, MT. Peirce said, Convict labor might be the best for some places and the worst thing for oth- CTS. Up in Virginia they have been try ing convicts on the roads and find it an admirable plan.
 "The convicts prefer the road work to any other and the state authorities put great confidence in 1t. Escapes are very few in number, none getting away at all during the night. Sometimes man bolts in the daytime, but nearly always he Is recaptured.
 "The convicts are doing just as good or better than free labor. They compete with the s1 a day man instead of the s4 day man, and they are always on hand when needed. The convict system has numerous friends over the states.
