BIDB COUNTY IS USING
 CONNECTS ID ADVANTAGE
Interest In Good Roads Movement Is More Intense Now Than Ever
 Before. z e
BY w. w. LAVENDER.

Centreville, April 10.-(Special .)-Per- haps never in the history of Bibb county was there as much interest manifested Tn public roads as at the present time and the members of the board of county commissioners headed by Judge w. l.. Pratt are making strenuous efforts for the betterment of tho spublic roads of the county. The last Legislature passed an act dividing Bibb county into two road districts and providing for the ap- pointment of a supervisor for each dis trict. N E. Stewart, who was for many years county commissioner, was ap- pointed supervisor of the district on the west side of the Cahaba and l.. M Kin nard, who has had much experience working convicts, was appointed super visor of the district east of the Cahaba. These men took up their work on the first of January this year and have al ready accomplished much in the way of improving the public roads. Many places where the roads were almost impossible during the winter season have been ditched, elevated and gravel placed upon them
 At a recent term of the court of coun- ty commissioners it was decided to put the county convicts to work on the pub lie roads of the county. This action met with the approval of @ vast ma jority of the citizens of the county and thus far the experiment ilas proven quite a success. There are now IS convicts at work on the roads and they are doing splendid work. Under an arrangement between the supervisors of public roads of the county these convicts work two fifths of the time on the east side of the Cahaba river and three-fifths of the time on the west side of the Cahaba river.
 large cage is being built by the coun- ty which will be placed on wheels. in order that the convicts may be taken to any part of the county to be worked and not have to be brought to the jail here at night to be locked up for safe keeping In addition to this the county has purchased 12 fine mules. several wagons, two road machines. several road blows and a number of other implements to be used in working the roads. There is also a special property tax in this county used in working the public roads. This county already has five fine steel bridges and next week work will be com- menced erecting another across Light seys mill pond about three miles south of Centreville.
 Probably no county in the state which has not issued bonds for the improve ment of public roads has better roads than Bibb county, and the movement in this county is merely in its infancy.
 Senator H. E. Reynolds and Represen- tatiye J. T. Fuller deserve much credit for their zeal in behalf of good roads for this county.

sible for the conditions here. The roads

sible for the conditions here. The roads have been horrible.
 The old road law was in existence until a short while ago, but now the county has a special road law, which it is hoped will materially change the conditions. This law is very wide, giving the com missioners' court authority to work the roads in most any manner it should see At, and it may be we'll to say that the court is alive and actively giving this branch of its duties special attention. A crew of hands with improved machinery has been at work under its supervision for some 10 months, and several miles of road have been placed in excellent con dition. With due respect to the railroad legislation the public road question has been the subject of general conversation in St. Clair for the past year or more, and the results from the same are about to materialize.
 Owing to the small number of convicts sent up from this county it is not thought that they can be worked on the roads advantageously.
 While St. Clair is a very small county, as to square miles, but with it's magnifi- cent chert beds, their accessibility, no haul being more than three miles, and with the untiring efforts of the commits sioners' court in conjunction with the Board of Road Commissioners, which commission handles the bond money, it Is hoped and believed that St. Clair has taken the initial step to place it near the top among the progressive counties in the state.

SUMTER, ST. CLAIR AND
 BIBB DOING GOOD WORK
Truck Growers Living as Far as Ten Miles From York Now Have Easy Access To Market Over
 Good Roads.
BY L. POOLE.

York, April Special. )-The money this (SumteD county has spent for good roads is being rapidly returned now in the increased value of farm lands Truck growers now live as far out as 10 miles or more, and with our splendid roads can get to market in an hour and a half
 Said a grizzled old farmer today q op- posed the issuing of bonds to build roads and worked against the proposition, but now see the mistake that I made. I came to town this morning in an hour with a load that would have taken me three hours to move heretofore. I am an en- thusiastic road man now and l hope that the good work may continue"
 w. E. McGowen. one of the county commissioners, who was instrumental in fostering the good roads movement, wears the smile that won't come off as the peo- pie are so taken with the work done and under way.
 The roads have been built under the supervision of MT. Colon Atkinson for the past year and the results have been won- derful. He uses only sand and clay. which forms a kind of cement, and when packed makes a regular turnpike He moves very rapidly, putting up in in- stances more than half a mile per day. Road machines are used and free labor. which so far has proven the best method. as the cost of keeping convicts guarded would be considerable. This county now has more miles of good roads than any in this section and all opposition to the movement has about passed away.

Held Up Four Neqroes.

At the police court this morning George Morrow was bound over Go await the action of the grand jury by Mayor D. F. Sugg on a charge of highway rob- bery The evidence disclosed the fact that Morrow held up four negroes near the steel plant quarters, compelling them at the point of a gun to shell out. plac- ing his hat on the ground for that pur- pose. The net proceeds from all four were 95 cents. After relieving the negroes of their "valuables" Morrow ordered them to run, which request was promptly com piled with. One of the victims came to Ensley and reported the case to Officer Wren, who after investigation arrested George Morrow in the furnace quarters. He was tried this morning with the above result. The negroes positively identified the accused who was committed to jail without bond.

SIMPSON MAKES
 IMPORTANT RULING
THE SHERIFF OF LAUDERDALE COUNTY AND MARSHAL OF THE UNITED STATES COURT MAY COME IN CONFLICT TUESDAY.

Florence, April 10.-(Special) )--Chancel- ehancery court. has just rendered a de- cision which may participate conflict next Tuesday between the sheriff of this county and the marshal of the Uni ted States court. The case is George W. Fruit against the Tuthill X Pattison Manufacturing company. ct al. in which 50O,0O0 feet of logs and other property are in litigation, and is one of the rami- fications of the celebrated Tuthill-Pat- tison bankruptcy case. which is now pending in the courts of many states.
 Chancellor Simpson has rendered a de- cision everything the demurrer of John R. Tuthill, surviving partner, and Herbert Jackson, trustee in bankruptcy. and deny ing the motion to dismiss the bill for want of Jurisdiction of this court.
 The cause has been hotly contested in the courts, it being contended by the trustees that the chancery court had no jurisdiction because the property was in custodia legis, being in the bankrupt court for the eastern district of Kentucky and that the complainant had no lien on the property attached by the state court.
 The trustee has apparently ignored the chancery court and has obtained from the bankruptcy court an order for the sale of the property and has advertised it for sale next Tuesday at Sheffield
 Now that the chancery court has con f1rmed the siezure of the logs under the attachment, the sheriff will vigorously resist any interference with his posses sion and should the trustee undertake to have the federal court sustain him in his contention that that has exclusive jurisdiction over the property by reason of the pendency of the bankruptcy pro- ceedings, an interesting conflict will re- suit between the sheriff and the mar shal of the United States court.
