NEW BOARD OF REVENUE
 GOES OUT OVER ROADS
FIND SOME PLACES BADLY IMPRovEMENT-RoeERs SAYS THEY WANT TO MAKE A CAREFUL STUDY OF
 COUNTIES ROAD QUESTION:

The Jefferson county Board of Revenue is receiving the backing of it's constitu- ents It was elected in a good roads campaign and the people of the county appear ready to help in any way possible to keep up and build up the roads of the county. The board realizes that it has just reached the verge of the time when nature will make it's strongest att tack against the roads, and the great danger of the coming rains washing away all the old board accomplished last sum mer.
 For this reason the board has set about to find the true conditions so they may immediately set about the important work of protection and improvement.
 The new Board of Revenue yesterday afternoon made its first tour of inspection of the county roads. The commissioners went across Red mountain to look over the highways between the city limits of Birmingham and the crest of Shades mountain with view of ascertaining what has been done and what work is needed.
 In speaking of the trip yesterday even ing, Cleon B. Rogers said:
 We found some mighty good roads and

 ss While there Is no doubt but B that considerable amount of the 52 deadly poison is being sold by ss pedlers, the fact remains that the sS original sources from which comes ss the supply are drug stores. ,s "I have learned that several drug $ stores just out of the heart of the E city are dispensing cocaine, and ss that one or more grocery stores s out of the immediate business seo- 5 tion are reaping great profit from .e the same nefarious traffic. $ q have received intimatfons, $ also, that two drug stores in the B very center of Birmingham are B selling cocaine to inebriates. 8 You may say for me, that am

EYE TROUBLES
Caused By Improper Food.

Most people would never think of con- meeting eye disease with the food they eat. But when we remember that every part of the body-every organ-is nour- ished by the blood and the blood is made of the food We eat, it seems reasonable to trace even eye troubles to food.
 A N. Y. man had an interesting ex- perience at one of the great hospitals in that city that may benefit persons who have chronic eye trouble. He writes:
 -Four years ago l was stricken with an eye trouble. After being unsuccessfully treated by several physicians and occu- lists I went to noted New York hos pital.
 "On examination they pronounced my case iritis Inflammation of the iris) caused by poor blood on account of im- proper assimilation of food.
 "They had to operate on my right eye. keeping me in a dark room and on strict diet for several weeks. When leav- ing the doctor cautioned me in regard to saving the other eye, saying that I must be temperate as to my diet and use neither tea nor coffee.
 1T told him it would be almost impos- sible for me to get and live on what they had given me at the hospital He re- piled: It is not necessary. As an off, ficial here l cannot recommend any pr- Nate pranu or loou pr ufiilh. AS friend l advise you to try Grape-Nuts, discard all fatty, heating foods as much as pos sible, especially in the morning.
 This advice I have followed, excepting a few times when have grown careless, but danger signals always come. such as speclls and blots before my eyes and some inflammation. You may be certain I go back to what my doctor advised-Grape- Nuts" There's Reason"

DEAD NEGRO FOUND
 AT LEWISBURG

A negro was murdered at Lewisburg last night thus holding up the negro violent death rate to at least one per day for Birmingham and vicinity.
 The killing occurred on the porch of the commissary at Lewisburg. at least the body of the negro was found there early last night It was reported to the sher- ifs office and deputies were dispatched to Lewisburg from North Birmingham, but up to an early hour this morning had not been heard from. Coroner w. D. Paris was also advised of the killing and went to the scene.
 The negro lived at Lewisburg and re- ports from there stated that it was be- lieved his wife had committed the deed. there having been some trouble between them. The commissary had only been closed for a short while when the discov- cry of the dead negro was made.

 "The new Shades mountain road is one of the prettiest pieces of engineering work l have ever seen, and the highway is in- deed an ideal one. Between the terminus of this new road, which is about opposite the head of Twentieth street, and the ter minus of the Oxmoor road at Hale Spring, however the way is quite rugged in number of places, but this road has never been macadamiSed. It is understood that property-holders on Shades mountain propose to erect summer hotel at the terminus of the Shades mountain road The board now has under consideration the construction of a road along the crest of the mountain to connect the Shades mountain and Oxmoor roads, although no definite steps have yet been taken. It is about six miles between the two points
 we also looked over the St. Charles road proposition.
 "The new board is at present studying the conditions of the county roads so that it may little later take up the work in an intelligent manner"
 The other members were highly pleased with MT. Miners new road in the vAl- ley, and spoke highly of the importance of direct connection to Birmingham for the Shades valley people.

GRAND JURY ASKS FUR INFORMATION Higdon Objects to NolIe ProSS-
 ing Cases ARRESTS DURING STRIKE Friction Between Sheriff and Solicitor Said To Be Cause of Grand Jurys
 Investigation of the
 Subject.
ARRESTS DURING STRIKE

Matters grew lively in courthouse cir cles yesterday by the grand jury request ing Judge Weaver for information re- garding the nolle pressing by Solicitor Henin of several hundred cases grow ing out of the recent coal miners strike, and also to the latitude allowed the solici- tors in such matters Judge Weaver ad- vised them that the solicitor had acted cases.
 Just what action the grand jury will take is a matter of conjecture, but their action in asking Judge Weaver for in formation on the subject it is believed means they will investigate a number of the cases which were nolle pressed. The friction between Sheriff Higdon and So- licitor Hefiin is said to have caused the grand jury to take notice of these cases
 Sheriff Higdon in speaking of the mat ter yesterday afternoon said;
 "The wholesale nolle pressing of the strike cases appears as a bit too strenu- ous for me. There were a great many of the cases which undoubtedly should have been nolle pressed, especially In cases where men had sworn out warrants against each other for petty offenses as the re- suit of spite, and the solicitor apparently acted wise in not prosecuting them and thus saving the county great expense.
 'sThere were many fragrant violations, however, which were nolle pressed. For instance the Il negroes who were cap tured at Adamsville on the night follow ing the morning of the second attack or a train at the Jefferson tunnel These negroes were all armed and were ar rested at l o'clock at night, and had not their presence been detected at the moment it was they would surely have fired upon the deputies and soldiers who were on their way to Blossburg. Many of these negroes were also identified as having been at the Jefferson tunnel during the attack on the train there.
 Tt was with difficulty that they were dlsarmed, the officers having to press the muzzle of their guns against the negroes before they turned their guns loose. Their being in a body armed at that time of night was enough to show that they were up to mischief.
 We could only place a small charge against them on this arrest, but there was stronger evidence to be brought out, which we believe would have resulted in their indictment on further charges. But despite the graveness of their offen- ces their cases we're nolle pressed.
 "Such action as this will not only handl- cap me but any future sheriff in the hand ling of any great lawless outbreak. and trust the grand jury will consider such cases before finally disposing of them.'

TALLYSHEET SHOWS
 HOW GAMES RUN
SHERIFF HIGDON ANNOUNCES HE WILL DO ALL IN HIS POWER TO BREAK UP GAMBLING IN BIR- MINGHAM.

A tally sheet confiscated by Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien Brown fin one of the alleged gambling places visited by him late Thursday night tells a silent but eloquent story of how a man is heeced.
 This sheeG is a regular form for debits and credits. One side shows the transac- tions in the game, and it was this side that told the story. Several men had been in the game and from the appear ance of the record all but one were touts, while the lone one was the Sucker" Opposite each of the touts' name was a debit amounting to a few dollars, this debit representing an amount which he had lost in the game. Then under each debit was a credit for the same amount, showing that the house had refunded him the money he had lost in the game.
 The lone man, however. had no credits, everything appearing on the debit side. First there was one debit charge of s25, then another for $25 and a third one for $50, showing him to have been a loser to the extent of $1oO.
 On the other side of the sheet were sloWH lIie eApeHSes ol tHe house, some or the touts names appearing on this side as employees, certain charges showing them to have received part of their sal ary on that day. There were also charges for other things, there being one item of 75 cents for whisky. This Sheriff Hig- don thinks, is strong evidence of the fact that the prohibition law was being vio- lated.
 The sheriff states that much evidence has been secured against gamblers during the last few days and that he will ex- ert all of his power toward the breaking up of any gambling going on in Birming- ham.
