O0HNcTt mug Aos
There were close to 5000 head Of beef
here Monday and the packers took of
Is to 40c per cwt. from the close OF LAST
week. The decline was most ON cows
and on medium steers The extreme
top on cows was 1915 with the bulk of
the good ones going at from $3.40 to
$780, the killers buying the stuff all
the way down to 1925. Most OF the
good steers sold at from $3.50 to $42O,
the top being $4.35 at which price we
sold one load of Wyoming white faces.
Receipts have been. very light since
Monday aud good steers have advanced
10 to 20c, but cows have held in about
the same notches all week, several
punches of fair TO good kinds going at
from $3.50 to $40.
The feeder demand has improved
somewhat during the week. LiRht
stocker steers of fair quality are selling
at from $500 to 1926 and the choice
kinds at from $500 to 1915. II takes
good feeding steers to bring 1896 to
$3.50.
There is fair run of cattle In sight
for Monday and we look for very little
change in prices. Shippers should be
cautious about shipping anything but

OLD BONDS ARE
 TO BE RETIRED
Decatur Rids Itself of an Old and Wornout Bonded lndebt-
 edness.

Decatur. May S-(Special)-At the reg ular monthly meeting of the Decatur city council last night an old debt which has been standing over the city for the past 20 years was liquidated.
 In April 1888, the city issued bonds for street improvements to the amount of s50,O00. These bonds have been allowed to run all these years and not one cent of interest has ever been paid on them. They became due on April ?. 1908, and the debt with interest amounted to about $120,000. At the meeting of the council last night an agreement was reached between the city and the holders of the old bonds by which the debt is liquidated. The agreement is that the city issue $60,000 worth of refunding bonds. bearing 5 per cent per annum and that the holders of the old bonds take these new bonds in payment of the old indebtedness. The bonds are held by several parties, mostly people in St. Louis.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Governor Conner and Good Roads.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: I notice that Governor Conner has an- nounced h. opposition to the proposed amendmen ; the constitution of the s1 ate, providing for an appropriation, the money of the convict fund and such other sums as the legislat re might wish . to appropriate so that the state can aid in the upbuilding of the neglected, bot I'tomess, mud roads that are in vogue in our state with few exceptions.
 The Alabama Good Roade association assembled in Birmingham, ,out two years ago, and prepared bill which was presented to the first session of the iegis- lature to create highway commission, and also to provide state aid
 The object ow the bill to create a high way commission was so that roads would be built economic and businesslike
 ..lethods, and the construction would be of permanent nature; as the present methods in vogue are merely.a temporary makeshift and waste of labor and money.
 The sum of money that is spent in cash and statute labor is the enormous sum of about $1,700,0O0 annually, and for that sum not one mile of permanent road is constructed. The object of the bill that the Alabama Good Roads association is advocating was the first step for economic and permanent roads so that the people of Alabama, and especially the farmers, could have the easiest and most economic method of transportation of their prod ucts from the farm to the steamboat landings, and the railroad stations, mer- chants and factories.
 Governor Conner in his campaign for railroad commissioner then for gover- nor proclaimed from every housetop in the valleys, and through the press, that the railroad rates of transportation were excessive and that the railroads needed regulation.
 He laid great stress on the fact that the poor farmers were charged enormous rates on their fertilizer. Governor Conner
 knows that the bad country roads are costing the farmers to haul their fer tlizer about 30 times more ton per mile over our neglected country roads than the railroad rates which he declared were excessive. Ns
 Governor Conner has not raised his voice in behalf of the poor farmer and against excessive rates he is taxed to haul his fertilizer on the bottomless mud roads of the state of Alabama. If you will investigate the governors record you will find that he has not raised his voice to improve the roads of Alabama.
 The writer was delegate to the dem ocratic state convention that presented the platform that Governor Conner ana his state officers ran on before the people of Alabama, and my particular mission was to advocate a plank for good roads That plank of the platform Mx Conner was elected on, but he trampled it under his feet.
 !. The Alabama Good Roads committee appeared before the legislature advocating a bill to create highway commission,
