vIcKsBURG'S OFFICIALS
 TO INSPECT CITY PAVING

For the purpose of inspecting Mont gomerys paved streets. Mayor J. J. Hayes, of vicksburg, Miss. and seven members of the City Council of that city, will come to Montgomery on Fri day.
 Mayor W. M. Teague was yesterday in receipt of a communication from Mayor Hayes, stating that the city of Vicksburg was contemplating paving their streets, and that he and seven members of the Council would pay this city a visit on Friday.
 Within the past year or two Mont gomery has established quite wide reputation for the excellency of her paved streets, Few cities. of. its size in the South can boast of better paved thoroughfares. Just recently also the present City Council has let several new contracts for the paving of more streets, which, when completed. will add greatly to the beautifying and the development of the city.
 Mayor Teague yesterday requested President Gaston Gunter of the City council to appoint a committee to meet the Vicksburg delegation at the train on Friday. This committee will also escort the visitors over the city during their short stay and show them. not only the streets, but also some of the other points of interest.

STUDIES PELLAGRA
DIR. MASON RETURNS FROM SOUTH
 ALABAMA TRIP.
May Bring Patients to Montgomery for Treatment and Study-Dr. Ma son of Opinion That Dfsease
 fs Net C0ntagfous.

Effort Is being made by Dr. E. M Mason. State bacteriologist, to bring to Montgomery. for treatment and study. sufferers from the skin n-nervous dis ease. pellagra. pr. Mason has lately taken up, exhaustively. the study of the newly discovered disease. which has stricken scores of Alabamians within the last year. and which has become greatly feared.
 Dr. Mason returned yesterday from trip to South Alabama, in Clarke county, where he visited several pei lagra patients, mostly white people. That the disease Is not contagious Is the opinion of pr. Mason after his in- vestigation. :.
 Neither Is he of the conviction that the disease Is the result of defective corn products. as has been the theory most generally advanced. The real cause of the trouble, he says. must await study before being definitely as- certained.
 An effort would have been made to bring pellagra patients to a local hos pital for treatment. he said, but 1t was difficult to find traces of an acute case during the summer, as the disease is less marked then than at other DOT tions of the year. The signs of pella- gra diminish during the summer months, and recur in the late fall, win ter and early spring.
 It is believed by medical authorities that several cases of the disease are extant in Montgomery, and local pny- sicians are being stirred up to e close study of the trouble.

 After raining all day yesterday with violent gusts of wind. late last night the wind and rain ceased and the stars came out, the weather clearing up beautifully.
 Forecaster Ashenberger stated this morning that all danger was now passed. and that the storm had less- ened so in intensity that there was no danger at all. All vessels which have been in port several days. afraid to venture out. today set sail.

"a b ? y - q had the commission not acted. the raii- roads would have in time, with the growing wealth of the trans Missouri country, followed their own precedents and made a through rate from the sea- board to th Missouri.
 Surely if the railroads have this power" Judge Baker argued. "the Com mission likewise has 1t. If this pow CT is too dangerous to be in the hands of commissioners bound by the sanc- tity of their oaths did Congress desire to leave 1t In the hands of unbridieo corporations?
 If Congress cannot constitutionaiiy make a general declaration that the rates shall be reasonable" Judge ba- ker continued. and not unJustly dis criminatory and then trust an exec- utive body to hear evidence. the DO" er of Congress over rates would be worth- less for it would be utterly impracu- cable for Congress itself to meet en- actments to cover the specific in- stances

Spaniards Restless In Unhealthy Mo-
 FOccan Camps.
 Melilla. Morocco. Monday. Aug. a. The present situation of the army of 35.00O men sent over to Africa by Spain to advance against the Moors, is causing widespread discOntent.
 Owing to the lack of proper trans portation for water and supplies, as well as for strategical reasons. an advance Is impossible for a fortnight or more. The commanding generals seem in no hurry to move. Spain has made every effort quickly to concen- trate this army. but her soldiers are now cooped up in unhealthy camps, and if they do not move soon, they probably will be decimated by disease.
 When the campaign does begin. fl will be on a large scale and persons who are intimately acquainted with the Moors are of the opinion that they will put up good fight before surren- derlng.

storms are apt 10 make some roads al
most impossible. 1t is well to carry
block and tackle for emergencies. A
shovel should be included in the equip
ment, for occasions may arise that will
require its use. Tire grips are es-
sendal and must always be included
in the outfit.
Such personal baggage as is abso-
lutely essential should be packed in a
suit case that can be cared by being
strapped to the car, and if a tour is to
be Of more than ordinary length, it IS
well to send baggage that cannot be
accommodated on the car, by express
to the next stopping place.
While lying on ones back in the
middle of the road is no longer the
proper thing and the necessity there
for does not often arise, it is advisable
to take a pair of overalls md Jumper,
likewise old gloves. which can be used
1 instead of the driving gloves in max
ing repairs and adjustments Goggles
must not be forgotten, for the dust
and glare of the road may otherwise
cause severe eye strain.
