Tn. Handicap of Bad Roads.

Washington IHhes' . n
 Uncle Sam, as a farmer. pays out IS cents for every mile he hauls every ton of his farm produce, John Bull and Jaques de France. less shrewd and vastly less enterprising. pay from to 13 cents a mile. The difference for the harvest of Is05-s alone amounts to Si2.70s,27&. This Is the penalty Amer lea pays every year for its bad roads.
 The average wagon load for the twelve principal crops in the United States is 2.ss6 pounds. To haul that load a mile on an excellent road with base of broken stone would cost the producer s cents; on such a road in ordinary condition. II cents; on san dy road when wet 32.6 cents; on an earth road filled with ruts and muddy in spots. 39 cents; on sandy road when dry 64 cents.
 A farmer who would deliberately choose land Handicapped a cent a bush el on every seasons crop would be rat cd half crazy by any institute which ever met In an American court house, Let some of them who grumble over proposed taxes for good roads so with their wives to the sitting room win dow and look out. Let them put this test to themselves

GMCHRIST TALKS OF
 GARBAGE DESTRUCTION

City Engineer A. R. Gilchlst has returned from Birmingham where he witnessed some interesting demonstra- tions of the destruction of a city's accumulated garbage.
 The method of disposing of the gar bage in the Magic City was the Englett Creamatory Company's process of de. stroying this character of substance with other street and alley accumula- tion. This is to turn them to prac- tical and valuable advantage by mak- ing fuel out of them.
 Engineer Gilchrist says that so far as he was able to judge the demon strations were entirely successful and the process all that is claimed for 1t. He says that he saw some very offen- sive garbage and night soil disposed of in a manner to entirely relieve 1t of all offensiveness to both sight and smell, It was, he says, completely deodorized and entirely destroyed.
 This special form of city waste and garbage says the city engineer, Is well and satisfactorily disposed of in Montgomery by our sewerage main and this city Is not worried with 1t in any way.
 A representative of the EnRIett Creamatory Company will visit Mont gomery shortly to undertake to show that his process can be used in this city to advantage.

WILLIAMS SUSPECTS ARE
 HERE FOR SAFEKEEPING
Negroes Who Are Believed to Have Murdered Walter Williams
 Are Brought Here.

Three alleged negro murderers from Russell County are in the Montgomery jail where they are being held to pro- tect them from the wrath and ven geanee of the indignant people of the section where the crime with which they are charged was committed.
 The names of the negroes are Will, Irwin and Jeff Lattlmore and they are accused of complicity in the assassina- ton of Water C.. Williams a promi- aent white citizen of Russell County.
 0fileers Waddell and Holland of Jer- .nigan, Russell County, the place near where Mir. Williams was killed, brought the three negroes to thls city and in- formed the local jail authorities that the excitement growing out of feeling against the men was such in the Jerni- gan neighborhoo that they did not feel justified in risking the lives of their prisoners there any longer.
 Walter c. Williams, a well known white farmer, was shot from ambush and killed last Tuesday night while sitting on his front porch talking to his sister. The Lattimore negroes were suspected of the crime and were run down and arrested.
 The evidence connecting the negroes with the assassination is reported to be very damaging and the deed was so wantonly brutal and cold-blooded that the neighbors of the dead man are stirred up.

the road over which their wheat ami corn are hauled. Then let them see whether or not they have voluntarily submitted to handicap which amounts to more than a cent a bushel on every crop they raise-to Imprisonment for the women folks of the household three months In every year to restricted school privileges for the children; to a hampered church llfe:. to limited en- tertainment for the whole family: to a doubling of the distance between home and town.
 That Is the basis of this whole ques- ton of good roads for America. At bottom lt Is a matter of circumscrlbed life for every American citizen man or woman. adult or child who lives in the country. We have been a long time realizing It. Even now 1t Is the city need for good roads created by the au- tomoblle rather than the country need which has given life to the movement for better highways Perhaps the truth has not yet sunk in far enough to move us all to act. But pretty soon It will be thoroughly understood by our women folks as well as our men. When that time comes. this blessed land of ours will go about making good roads as it goes about anything else when 1t is in earnest--in a way to make the worlds eyes bulge.

MORE FINE WEATHER
 IS PROMISED THE CITY

Fair will the weather be to-day. And best of all that delightful imita- ton of Autumn which has played such a pleasing part in the lives of the citizene of Montgomery during the past two days is still scheduled. There will be practictllt
 conditions which have prevailed dur ing the immediate past. The tempera- ture has given every sign that it will be moderate. and that invfgorating tang" which has prevailed the air has not yet been released from its To- cal engagement.
 Light showers visited the eastern Gulf States yesterday. the weather in the middle Gulf and Mississippi val ley regions being clear and fair. The temperature in Montgomery registered only eighty-five during the hottest part of the day.
 Present conditions bid appear likely to continue for several days. There are no unbalanced pressure areas over the country and the even distribution indicates continuance of the pleasant weather of Saturday and Sunday.

How a Woman Opens a Newspaper.

A writer in one of the New York pa- pers says:
 Did you ever notice how a woman opens a paper7 It Is as different from the method of a man as her skirt is from his trousers.
 "If she is on her own home. with plenty of space and sitting in a capa- cious rocking chair. she has room enough to do 1t successfully If she is anywhere else she instantly becomes public nuisance.
 "A man opens his paper sharply, keeping the sheets closely together. folds it lengthwise in half, then dou- bles 1t making 1t into a flat pamphlet and reads 1t comfortably. He doesn't gouge any ones eyes out. or knock off their hats or tickle the back of their ears and necks.
 But a woman. She opens the sheets and then spreads out their entire length in front of her, up in the air. with both arms extended at full length to hold the edges. The fact that she is reading the first column on the first sheet does not prevent her from keep. ing the paper spread out fin this posi- tion during the whole time she Is read ing.
 "When she turns another sheet she takes the whole thing a bit higher in the air. makes as much of a breeze as she can when she is turning 1t, and then readjusts 1t again in this spread eagle position.

SOLDIERS PENSIONS
STATE BOARD IS PASSING ON AP-
 PLICATI0Ns.
It is Predicted That List VIII Be In- creased by Several Hundred,
 Especially in Higher

The State Board of Pension Examl- ners began yesterday It's annual task of threshing out applications and md ing the names of the worthy old sol- diers who should be added to the pen- sion rolls of Alabama. It is said that an unusual list of applications Is on fle with the Board.
 Colonel E. B, starr of Selma and pr. R. D. Jackson of Birmingham were both present yesterday morning when, according to law, the Board set about their work. R. J. Reynolds of Abbeville, the third member of the body, was absent, and, 1t Is said, will not be able to attend the meeting this year.
 No little authority is vested in the officers charged with the final judging of pension applicants. They have the power of reviewing every decision of the County boards alphabetically. They either approve the applicants as worthy and needy or reject them. All the papers, proofs, affidavits as to property and income and other Items, introduced In the hearing by the local boards of examiners. are, through the State Auditor, transmitted to the State Examiners. The latter inspect these and base their decision thereon.
 The county boards sat for ten days In July. They examined then all ap- plicants for pensions during the ap- preaching tax year as we'll as elimi- mated all names from the rolls as they now exist who could be proven un- worthy or who could be proven to have been enrolled fraudulently. By Au- gust the decisions of the local ex- aminers were required to be forward ed to the State Auditor who in turn turned them over to the State Exam iners yesterday.
 
 The prediction Is made that when the State Auditor immediately after oeto- Der l makes up the grand pension roll. 1t will exceed by many hundred ,aat of the current year. Furthermore, It is believed that the higher classes will have increased in numbers under the provision of the law passed last year allowing promotion from lower to up- per classes by arriving at older ages and by other qualifications prescribed This adding to the higher classes. there being four in all was one of the fac- tors which brought about the short age during the quarter beginning July 1 this year.
 It Is expected that the State Board will conclude its labors in about ten days or two weeks. They are not al- lowed compensation for the time they may have to serve beyond fifteen days.

Negro Who Killed Mir. Williams |. S,u,
 at Large.

Eufaula. Aug. 1o.-(SpeciaI. )-Noth- ing has developed today in the matter of the murder of Mr. Williams. ana no confirmation of the various rumors that were afioat yesterday has been gained up to this hour. Citizens are inclined to believe that the negro. Jim Ciiatt. whose arrest was affected bera yesterday, will be able to prove an alibi and will be given his liberty.
 Much unfavorable comment as to tha burning of the negro lodge in Russell County by the mob has been expressed among the citizens who are Inclined to believe that 1t was an unwise act. in that 1t will ineite a spirit of reven1e among the negroes who may do great damage to some innocent parties by fr- ing their premises or otherwise injur- ing them.
 A vigorous watch Is being kept in this and sections of Georgia and every effort will be exerted to capture Lat. timer and avenge the horrible murder Mir. Williams was most highly esteem. ed fin this city and his friends are afix- ious to aid in any way they can and will make any sacrifice to effect the capture of the guilty parties.

COMMITTEE CALLED
COUNTY COMMITTEE IS TO AR-
 RANGE PRIMARY.
Members VIII He Asked to Endorse and Assist in . Ratification Meet
 fng--Distrtct Meeting Nm GsRnm aA

is Suggested.
 Chairman George W. Jones, of the Montgomery County Democratic Exec. utive Committee yesterday issued a call for a meeting of the committee for noon Saturday, August IS. The prin- cipal business of the committee will be the discharge of its duties in con- nection for the Congressional primary to be held on September i3.
 The machinery of the primary in each county was left largely In the hands of the County Committee. The county committees will ho in direct control of the primary. The Montgom. cry County Committee meets Saturday to discharge the duties conferred upon it by the Democratic Executive Com mittee of the Second Congressional Dis triet.
 Chairman Jones said yesterday that at the Saturday meeting of the com- mittee he would lay before the mem bers the suggestion that big meeting be held to ratffy the nomination of Bryan and Kern at Denver. with the added suggestion that 1t be made county matter in charge of the conn mittee. He thinks that the question Of a big ratification meeting for the Na- tional Democratic ticket Is one that very properly comes before the County Committee and the committee will be asked to endorse the suggestion and assist in carrying 1t out.
 MT. Jones was yesterday requested by Chairman Mark Blach, of the coun- ty Executive Committee of Crenshaw County to make the ratification dls- trlct affair He says there is great enthusiasm for the ticket for Bryan and Kern in Crenshaw and many of the people of that county would come to Montgomery to take part fin the meeting. Mir. Blach says that If George Washington or Andrew Jackson were running against Bryan in Cren- shaw Bryan would carry the county by an overwhelming vote. MT. Blach has asked that the railroads be request ed to grant a special rate for the occa. sion. If this were done he is satisfied that a big crowd would come up from Crenshaw as we'll as in other counties of the district. He thinks that speak CTS of the class of Senators Joseph F: Johnston and John H. Bankhead would attract a great gathering of the voters of the Second in Montgomery.
