NEED OF BETTER ROADS
By FRANK V. EVANS.

Jasper, March 20.-(Special)-T inces- sant rains of the past few weeks have had the effect in this section of swelling the streams, making many of them i'm passable, of damaging the dirt roads, and of retarding preparations for planting the farms. All of this may prove blessing in disguise It may open the eyes Of the people to the absolute necessity of macadamizing the roads and of building more substantial iron bridges, and then, too, late planting may save damage by frost to the young crops So impossible have been the roads that several days recently the rural free delivery carriers have not been able to deliver the mails, a fact not encouraging to the rural de- livery system.

WORK WILL BEGIN
 IN 4 FEW WEEKS Contractors Prepare to Erect Federal Building At Gad8den NEW PASSENGER STATION Plans Are Approved By Officers of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
 and Work Will Probably
 Begin In 30 Days.
NEW PASSENGER STATION

Gadsden, March 2O.-(speciaL)-A com munication from the firm of Miles & Brodt of Atlanta, who have the contract for the construction of the federal building here. says that the contract has as yet not been signed, but that they will have the matter closed up within a flow days. They also state that as soon as their papers are received from Washington they are ready to begin work They hope to begin active operations within few weeks at most.
 Word has been received here that the plans for the new passenger station for this city had been approved by the chief officials of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and that work on grading the site would begin in a few days. Super intendent Brooks says he will probably have actual construction work under way within 30 days. With the new station go- ing up, the federal building and probably new schoolhouse, it looks as though Gadsden would enter on a building boom this year that would surpass anything in it's history.
  defending the action of Superintendent l.. H. Haralson in his punishment of one of the pupils of his school for which he was yesterday indicted. Professor Haral- son has an excellent record in his work in the schools, and does not lack for sen timent upholding him in whatever steps he may deem necessary to maintain proper discipline for the schools. It is also becoming apparent that the matter was grossly exaggerated and that the grand jury acted somewhat hastily in causing his arrest. full investigation will doubtless disclose another side to the story.
 In the case of w. M. Silvey against pr. H. L. Appleton, an action brought for the recovery of $5000 damages sustained by the plaintiff in being run over by the doctors automobile, the jury today re- turned a verdict for the plaintiff and awarded him $250.
 During the first stages of the high water on the Coosa the ferryboat at Gill bert's ferry was carried away, and the | fear was entertained that 1t had been en- tirely lost. Yesterday George Shobert found it lodged in clump of trees at Ten Islands shoals. The boat had been carried 30 miles from It's moorings, and it's recovery was piece of good luck. As soon as the water gets low enough a steamer will be sent to tow the boat 1 back.

 Speaking of good roads, the plucky lit tie town of Cordova and the people who dwell nearby that place this week or ganized a good roads club The citizens there say they do not believe that any thing is secured in this world without asking for it, and as a consequence of this belief a mass meeting was held Wednesday night and the Cordova Good Roads club was organized with 73 mem bers.
 J. M. Shaver was elected chairman and B. M Long secretary.
 A committee was appointed to confer with good roads enthusiasts in other parts of the county and prepare to make an organized fight for better roads in Wal ker county.

 AS ndS DeeH Stdlcu III tuSSt toluihii - gently, the Alabama Central railroad, leading from Jasper to Manchester seven miles distant, let contract a month ago for an extension of four miles. This week another contract has been given for an additional eight miles, thus adding F miles to the seven already in operation. This extension is being made to reach the numerous forests of timber for use of the Manchester lumber mills.
 This road has for it's objective point the Decaturs, which is only about 7S miles from Jasper-air line; but the last eight miles let defects east of the straight line However, it gives strength to the proposition for an early completion of the road to the Tennessee river
 Men who are thoroughly acquainted with the topography of the country north of Manchester state that the road can be constructed at minimum cost, as com ing down from Decatur it would pass through Moulton valley, and there would be no heavy grades. No streams of im- portance would nave to be bridged eX- cept Sipsey river about IS miles north of Jasper.
 The city auth critics of Jasper have a large force of men and teams gfY- ing the town thorough cleaning up. The topography or Jasper aHords eN- cellent natural drainage, and just a little effort on the part of the pcbple and the city authorities will keep the town one of the cleanest and healthiest In the state.

NOVEL CELEBRATION
Mrs. Franklin D. Cottle Given
Swift Auto Trip on Her
Hundredth Birthday
Former Resident of State Also
Guest of Honor of the
California Club

At the last meeting of the Califor-
MIA club of New York, of which Mrs.
Thomas T. Vivian is president. the
guest of honor was Mrs. Franklin d.
Cottle, who celebrated her llundredth
birthday March IL of this year. The
news is of interest to San Franciscans
in that Mrs. Cottle lived here for so
years, her husband, the late Franklin
u. Cottle, being pioneer of the
state. After the earthquake she went
to New York with her daughter, Mrs.
]. j. Evans, joining Mr.. Evans and
Prentis Evans, the only grandson, with
whom she has since made her home.
Mrs. Cottle celebrated her birthday
by fast automobile ride, the chauf-
feur being Harry Kobe, the man who
won the "a hour race at Brighton
beach last summer. In the evening
there was dinner at the Evans home
in Fifty-first street. many friends be-
ing present to offer congratulations at
a reception that followed. A big
birthday cake, sent by the centenarian's
sister in law. Mrs. S. Cottle, was cut
at the feast
When asked how to live to such an
advanced age, Mrs. Cottie said: II
don't know that I've any particular
recipe. except that I've never gone
about very much--I've never gadded.
That's the only thing I've done to pre-
serve my health. l go to bed and
sleep, sleep. I've always eaten what

ago. when / got dyspepsia. I'm sure
/ don't know why ] got dyspepsia. but
since then I've given up tea and coffee.
/ can always give up thing If /
don't think it's good for me-
Mrs. Cottle is not a believer in
woman's suffrage. She thinks the
men can take care OF their wives, and
she doesn't believe in taking their
business out of their hands. When
asked If she thought women should
smoke cigarettes she answered, No.
and I don't think men ought to.
