Our little girl was two months old

THE VALUE OF THE NEWSPAPER.
The late Senator David Davis of ILL
nois is credited with the following ex-
preston Of newspaper worth: Each
year every local paper gives from
$500 to $4,000 in free lines for the ben
eft of the community in which it is
located. No other agency can or will
do this. The editor in proportion to
his means does more for his town
than any other man, and with all firm
ness, man with man, he ought to be
supported, not because you happen to
like him or admire his writing, but
because a local paper is the best in
vestment a community can make. To
day the local papers do more work fol
less pay than any men on earth. Pat
ronize your local paper, not as char
ity, but as duty"

PIERCE ASKS FOR . MODEL ROAD FROM !. ENSLEY ID OWENTON Thinks the Property Owners
 Should Contribute Sixty
 Foot Right-of- Way
CONNECT TWO LARGEST
 CITIES IN THE COUNTY
Assistant Engineer Heidel Will Be Here Today and Tomorrow To Go Over the Proposed Route
 With MT. Peirce.

After reviewing the entire situation by going over the roads and seeing the growth and progress of the several mu- nicipalities adjacent to Birmingham, Yer non M. Peirce, chief engineer of the office of public roads of the United States department of agriculture, has advised the board of revenue that they could make no better start on new system of road building for Jefferson county than to build a road from Graymont to Ensley. This will be in the line of join ing the two largest cities in the county and the remaining parts of the road will doubtless be built through Graymont and into the centres of Birmingham and Ensley.
 "The right-of-way for the entire length of this road should be not less than sixty feet" said MT. Peirce, providing for a good wide driveway, ample sidewalks and a space for street car tracks,
 As the construction of this grand high way will greatly benefit the owners of the property through and by which i. will pass, by making 1t Of easy access from either of the cites, and a desir- able residential section, thus increasing the value of the adjacent lands, MT. Pelrce has suggested that all of the prop erty owners should give enough of the,r land entirely free of cost or of any en- cumbrances to the county for this purpose ill order that the roadway may be Of sufficient width. He also suggested that until such agreements are made, guar anteeing a right-of- way at least sixty feet wide for the entire distance, the board of revenue desist from taking even one step toward the construction work other than to have the necessary surveys made. If these requirements are met, MT. Peirce states that the office of public roads Will ssign one of it's assistant engineers td take full charge of it's construction, thus giving the county the benefit of the ex- perience of trained and competent high Way engineer, and insuring Jefferson county a road that it may be proud to show to visitors from any part of these United States or even from foreign coua- tries.
 ''rhe federal govei nment will lend its assistance to this grand undertaking by furnishing the services of such an eri- gineer free of all cost to the county, concluded MT. Peirce
 B. r. Heidel, assistant engineer or the office of public roads, will be here today and tomorrow for the purpose of going over the proposed route and to investigate the conditions with MT Peirce. It ;s probable that MT. Heidel will be the en- gineer assigned for this work, and step taken immediately to have the rights-of way guaranteed and the construction started as soon as possible.

Hudnall, president of the Alabama Georgia Volun- teer Firemens association with reference to the entertainment of the various dele- gations which are expected in May.
 Few people realize the importance Of this meet It is perhaps the most spectac- ular exhibition that will be seen in Bir- nlngham this year. The races will take place on one of the main stl cts of the city. The whole of the state will be en- thusiastic, as the greatest rivalry exists between the various cities.
 The committee will arrange for the en- tertaiment of the firemen, and all the minor details The meet is especially in teresting, since most of the volunteer companies are made up of the most popu- lar boys in the town, and the gathering will include an attractive social feature.

WEAVER SCENTS
 MORE MISCHIEF I've We'll Known Deputies
 Under Suspicion ARD MAKES LIMITATIONS More Alleged Bribery Cases Come Up and After Hearing Witnesses
 Judge Weaver Turns
 Negroes Loose.

"Why cast suspicion upon the law by such practices?' asked Judge Weaver in the second division of the criminal court yesterday morning in reference to the case of Deputy Sheriff Oscar R. Linn, for whose arrest a warrant was sworn out Friday afternoon, charging him with hay ing accepted a bribe, and which was followed yesterday morning by two other instances, one in regard to Linn and the other to Deputy Sheriff Louis R. Dean All of the instances were in con nection with the arresting of negroes for gaming.
 The case with which Dean was connect ed was that of Jack Green, a negro, who was charged with gaming in which Dean Harris, one of the gamesters, was witness for the state. The other ne- groes were Joe Hall, Wood Thomas. Will Green, Henry Gatwood and Emmett Leg gns.g All of the cases were dismissed.
 This case caused Assistant Solicitor Aird to use very strong language and it was upon his motion that they were dis r,issed Green was being examined when it developed that one of the number ar rested had been released, Harris being the man who had secured freedom. Har- ris was placed upon the stand and test:- fled that no gaming had taken place and that he had been turned loose.
 Judge Weaver discovered that case against Harris had not been entered on the docket and sent Deputy Sheriff Car ter to the clerks office to see if any rec ord of the case could be found. Deputy Sheriff Carter returned and said no rec ord could be found. It was then said that the bond was in the sheriff's office and Deputy Dean went after 1t. He was gene for some time, returning with a bond bearing the negro's "x'' mark and being signed by Deputy. sherffs Louis R. Dean and Alex Wilson.
 Then it was that Assistant Solicitor Aird moved that the cases against the regroes be dismissed. intimating very strongly that the bond was not legiti- mate charging that the ink with whica 1t had been written had not even had time to dry. Judge Weaver then dis missed the cases.
 The second case with which Deputy Linn was connected was that of Joe Whitaker and Eugene Cherry, two ne- groes, charged with gaming. Linn made the arrests while the principal witness for

BRINGING SEWER
 ISSUE ID IRON! Kendrick Points Out Need for
 Extensions WRITES LETTER TO MAYOR Thinks Needed Sewers Are Too Ex- pensive To Be Assessed Against the Owners of Adjacent
 Property.
WRITES LETTER TO MAYOR

Mayor Ward is steadily pushing the sanitary sewer bond issue for which an election will be held on May f. The in- adequacy of the present sewer system according to the Mayors statement, is be- ing generally complained of at all quar- ters and apparently the proposed $4OO, ,0OC bond issue is the only solution.
 Several days ago Mayor Ward wrote to City Engineer Julian Kendrick with reference to the contemplated sewer con struction, and received a reply yesterday MT. Kendrick in his letter calls attention to the fact that the capacity of the pres ent sewerage system was reached five or six years ago, and states that it is necessary to construct several mains from the county trunk sewer of sufficient capacity to carry off the sewage from Birmingham for all time to come.
 MT. Kendrick also calls attention to the fact that the city charter gives the City Council the right to assess the cost of storm water sewers against the property drained, provided the amour, assessed does not exceed the increased value of the property by reason of the construction of the sewers. He follows this with the statement that owing tc the fact that many of the storm sewers to be constructed will have to pass through a very level section of the city where the grades will be comparatively light and the sewers unusually large The cost of constructing these sewers will amount to more than the amount that l14 drained, and for this reason it is deemed necessary to supplement the amount de, rived from the improvement assess ments by funds derived by bond issue
 MT. Hendricks letter follows:
 Birmingham, March 21, 19OS Hon. George B. Ward, Mayor, City.
 Dear Sir-Replying to your recent in- quiry with reference to the contemplated sewer construction, to aid in which a call your attention to the fact that the cost of construction of all sewers, until very recent years was borne by the city at large, bonds being sold in order to provide for this purpose. In later years the cost of constructing sewers has been assessed against the property drained by them.
 When the original sanitary sewerage system was constructed the amount of money available for this purpose must have been very limited, and consequent- ly. the administration at that time evi- dently endeavored to cover as much ter ritory as possible with the sewers. There were two main sewers constructed from the out-fall sewer near Smiths park One for the purpose of draining the ter ritory lying north of the railroads and one for the purpose of draining the ter ritory lying south of the same. These sewers were of ample capacity at that time, and continued to be so for many years. However, five or six years ago, owing to the growth of the city, the capacity of these mains had been reached and since that time the amount of sewage

CROWD PROMISED
 AT SOCIETY CIRCUS
Sale of Seats Has Already Been Large. Some Features of the
 Entertainment.

The advance sale of seats to the Society Jefferson theatre indicates that the IS. R, O." sign will be hung out long before the cdrtain rises. For this years perform ance the management claims to present the most artistic as well as the most varied programme of any former circus. It has taken ceaseless energy for the past 60 days on the part of the Miles Bros. to perfect the programme in all its details, and there are many admir- able acts, one of which will be revela- tion to the audience.
 Amateur performances, as rule, drag 10 some extent. They fail to begin on time or end on time. The motto of the Society Circus is Tt always begins and ends on time. The performance Will be carried on with a snap and vim that mark all theatrical performances.
 The Watlz of the Merry Widows" is Indian Club Drill These two acts lose one in a bewilderment of dazzling and electrical beauty. The clown danes IS novelty that is distinctively athletic The spectacular presentation of Butt ; raanual of the United States army by 16 picked men of the Jefferson Volun- teers, under Capt Hugh Miller, is a num- Der that will appeal to the audience This drill is executed with an accuracy and precision that is startling.
 The detective photograph will disclose secrets that will force the audience to stand aghast. The other features of the performance are all of the best order.
