MORE CONVICTIONS
In CLUB CASES
FOUR MEN GIVEN THE LIMIT, ONE
PLEADS GUILTY AND THE SIXTH
is MOL PRoSsED-CASES CON-
sumo WHOLE DAY.

The evidence introduced in the trial Of
the social club room cases in the po-
lice court yesterday varied little from
the testimony set forth in the cases tried
Thursday. The prosecution was conducted
along identically the same line, and in
each succeeding case it was little more
than a matter of going over the same
evidence There was a steady grind on
the cases before Judge Feagin from $50
yesterday morning until o'clock in the
evening.
Six cases were heard yesterday. In four
of the cases conviction resulted and the
highest penalty OF 500 and $50 days was
inflicted in each of these cases. The de-
PENDANT in one of the cases plead guilty
and was fined S25. The sixth case was
nolle pressed at the request Of the pros
ecuting attorney, the defendant simply be-
ing a carpenter who was at work in tho
club at the time it was raided.
The cases heard yesterday were those OF
men caught in the jefferson County So
cial Reading club on Second avenue be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty-first streets.
The defendants in each of the four cases
where convictions resulted announced to
the court that they would appeal to the
higher court The trial of the cases will
be resumed again this morning at $3.50
o'clock.

INSPECT MILITARY
MEN NEXT WEEK
LOCAL DIVISIONS OF NATIONAL
GUARD HAVE DONE SOME HARD
DRILLING TO GET THEMSELVES
IN PROPER SHAPE.

After hard drilling and careful instruc-
ton the local divisions of the National
Guard are almost ready for the rigid in
spection which is being made by Adjutant
Hayne, Twelfth calvary United States
army
They will arrive in Birmingham on
April and will make the inspections in
two days. Having almost completed an
inspection of the rest of the guard in the
state, Captain Haynes reputation for
strict checking up has preceded him. The
Mobile boys said that he went after them
with vim, but was only doing his
duty.
Captain Hayne is young officer, but
is said to be every inch a soldier and
of polished manners and pleasing address.
He is not West Pointer, as many
would think, but worked his way up in
ten years from a private in the volun-
teer service to captain in the regular
army
At the outbreak of the Spanisl-Amer-
lean war he was a private in the Fifth
cavalry, was first sent to Cuba and then
to the Philippines. His report will be
forwarded to Washington and every men,
Der of the Alabama National Guard will
anxously await the announcement of the
record.
The inspection of Troop D, First Cav
airy, will take place In the armory at
the city hall Wednesday night. After in
spection the troop will receive full and
complete equipment, such as is issued
to the regular cavalry, consisting of the
new army rifle, a great Improvement over
the one now in use. The issue will also
consist of tan and russell brides and
saddles and transportation wagons.
Each trooper will receive four uni
forms, one full dress, one drab, one kahki
and a brown canvas uniform for police
and fatigue duties.
Troop D now has passed the required
number of troopers, as the roll shows 81
non-commissioned officers and privates,
with Capt. M. M. Stewart, First Lieu
tenant c. H. Manly. Second Lieutenant
George W. Hamilton as officers.
In this connection it will be remembered
that Troop D won the flag for the best
drilled troop in the state, the flag to
he presented on the first day of May.
Rv the time the Confederate veterans ar
rive for their reunion it is hoped that all
the new equipment will have arrived and
the troop will take an active part in the
reception and parade.

TENNESSEE ROAD ISSUES
SIMILAR TO THOSE HERE

by traffic, which goes on and on de-
troying more and more-uselessly de-
roying-because of the original small
year that was aot promptly and skill
fully mended.
Why should men selected above their
fellows, presumably because of their su-
perior wisdom, exhibit in this matter of
street and road mending a lack of knowl-
edge which is the common possession of
every housewife in the land? "A stitch
in time saves nine" is the truism of the
household, why is it that the street and
road authorities of the great American
cities and counties should studiously neg
lect to put in practice this patent little
bit from the bureau of wisdom?
One cause of our failure to apply the
stitch in time to streets and roads is
that it is really nobody's especial bust
ness to do the work of repairing. In this
particular we would do we'll to take a
lesson from France. There roads and
streets are measured off into lengths or
districts, each length or district contain
ing just as much of the road as one man
can, under ordinary wear and tear, attend
to in the way of repairs. Over each of
these road sections one man is given
charge He is selected because of his
knowledge of the road material he is to
handle and because of his skill and abil-
ity in using this material in mending
the road. With these qualifications these
men daily and hourly patrol their respee-
tive road sections. Each is kept supplied
with paving MATERIAL and so soon as he
sees a rut or a worn place upon the
road under his charge, it is at once mend
ed carefully, scientifically and accurately
Nor is the cost of maintaining this
| skilled road section man excessive. On
| the contrary a comparison of this method
| of road maintenance with the bunglesome
! and spasmodic measures in ordinary use
| in this country shows a saving in favor
| of the French plan of very nearly II
per cent. But note this: Politics mus
not be permitted to have a hand in the
| appointment of these road section men
| They must possess the training and the
| skill necessary to make a neat and thor
| ough job, and above all, they must at
| tend to the business of repairing in time
| be constantly at work. and not sitting

Pig IRON MARKET
AGAIN VERY QUIET
NO LARGE SALES REPORTED.
SMALL ORDERS IN EVIDENCE.
STOCKS ON CONSUMERS YARDS
GRADUALLY DECREASING.

The Birmingham pig iron market is
quiet this week. The Sloss- Sh effieiG
company and the Woodward company
are the only concerns that have sold
, any considerable tonnage within the
PAST two weeks. In the case of the
former company it is understood that
no one contract recently booked calls
FOR very large tonnage, but small sales
have been numerous
Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati re-
port for the current week says:
The line of small orders for prompt
shipment is as much in evidence as it
has been. Some inquiries are for larger
tonnage and in a few instances the de-
liveries specified are quite extended, all
Of which is encouraging.

suming centers in the northwest shows

branches. particularly those depending
largely on railroad and trolley line
equipment, are yet almost at a stand
still but most others report better.
Stocks on consumers yards are be-

on contracts already in existence.

The great road prob lem of jefferson
county could not be better described
than with the words of the Commercial
Appeal in speaking of conditions
around Memphis. The editorial is writ
ten by man of experience and is full
of suggestions for the use of local
road builders. Here it is:
Perhaps, no country in the world has
devoted as much attention to roads as
las France, and that country, too, we
believe, enjoys on the whole better
roads than the other methods of he
world. One reason tending to promote
superiority of the roads of France is
that they are not permitted to wear
out. Always the road repairer over
there is at work. 1t is a most common
sight to sec small wooden pens err
closing a few feet of road or street
bed. Wherever these pens are seen
there the road member has been plying
his art there the road has been mend
ed, and after the requisite period of
knitting together is passed down comes
the pen and behold Job of repairing,
So neatly done, SO skillfully executed
and comprised with such expert knowl-
edge that the old and the new mingle
as one, and the road user is never
aware that a patch has been made.
Compare this neat and effective road
mending work with the practice in
vogue in this country. Ordinarily, the
road authorities here deliberately await
the total destruction of the road efora
attempting any mending at all. If
mending is attempted 1t is of the most
spasmodic and bunglesome nature, and
consists in dumping the road material
from the tail end of a wagon by hand
skillful perhaps, in shoveling dirt or
digging bitches, but which have no
more experience in true road mendiES
| than a fish has of a plowed field.
In our cities paved streets begin to
wear. In france the worn spot is i'm
lnediately pounced upon, penned in and
scientifically repaired. Here the spot
| is neglected. 1t grows larger and
larger. It's existence soon becomes hate
full to traffic, which in its efforts TO
avoid the ruined place throws extra
burdens upon other spots. These, un-
able to stand the extra strain, give
way rapidly and are in turn summed
