J. z. Miles Will Open Glasses at Mar
 garet Allen School Today.

The opening of thechildren's classes at J. E. Miles school for dancing at the Margaret Allen school this morn ing promises to be attended by numbers of children. MT. Miles is one of the most accomplished dancers in the dis trict and his training for children gives them physical development and natural grace. Here is the formal announce ment:
 MT. J. D. Miles, pupil of the Louis H. Chalif Normal School of Dancing of New York City begs to announce the opening of his children's classes in physical training, folk, national, classi- cal and fine ballroom dancing at the Margaret Allen school, 2144 Highland avenue, Saturday morning, October 3.
 National and folk dances present a most novel and effective means of physical training. The interest of young people in these dances is readily awakened, for they appeal to the viva city and energy of youth. They are fascinating to children as a form of play, while their most lasting influence is seen in the control and boise they give to the body and the added grace and dignity of manner and department.
 His classes for children under 10 years of age meet Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, and for children over 10 years of age Thursday afternoons at 3 o'clock"

an appropriation out of the treasury for establishing a good road building system. He said that there was no question but that national aid would be rendered ths states in such movement and that it would be a shame for the senate 10 throw it up to him and for congress 10 do likewise to MT. Underwood, that they were represe ntng a state that had voted against such provisions being made.
 He said further that to his way of thinking, the dirt read was the most important of the three modes of trans portation, and that while we were build ing good roads in the Philippines, Ha- waii and Cuba, he certainly thought it was high time ttat the government was doing the same at home.
 Referring to the new counties amend inent, he said that he had heard the topic discussed in many different parts of she state and believed that It would carry and went further to say that he intend- cd voting for it.
 He referred in most complimentary terms to the condition of state affairs under the governorship of Jelks and spoke of the large amount of money the expiration of his term.

Underwood-Bankhead Speaking.


 The Bessemer correspondents letter for Friday mornings paper was miscarried, hence an account of the speeches of Sen ator Bankhead and Congressman Under- wood made to quite a large crowd of Bessemer's representative citizens Thurs day night on Good Roads" did not ap- pear. Too many good things were said by these two distinguished gentlemen to be passed without comment
 Capt. H. ". Crook, first introduced MT. Underwood, who immediately launoh- ed into the subject of good roads, and made an earnest plea to the voters 10 work for the adoption of the Overton amendment.
 He made a hit with the audience in the fore part of his speech by referring to Bessemers proposed new county, and said that traders did not stop at county boundary line, and that good roads would he conducive to trade, even though ib came from other counties Quoting sta- tistics that had been compiled by ,he agri- cultural department, he showed the com paratiye costs of transporting comme1- cial products, by rail, water and dirt road, and explained the advantages good roads would be to the farmer in getting his product to market. ''As the manu- facturer watches every means of de- creasing his cost of production, so must the farmer, and by giving them a good road over which to bring in their cot ton and other products, the cost of trans portation can be reduced from 27 cents per ton per mile, to 10 cents." He also spoke of how far we were behind some of the foreign countries when it came U the condition of our roads, while we were in almost every other way far in advance of them.
 In closing his speech the popular con gressman urged that they vote for the good roads amendment, if for no other purpose than to furnish way for the children of the south to reach the schools and for the good women living far from the trade centers to be able to come oft ener to the markets.
 Senator Bankhead then took the floor and after stating that he did not come 10 throw bouquets at the Bessemer peo- rle for their enterprising ways, he urged the voters to stand up for an amendment that would authorize the state to set aside
