A DISTINCTIVE HOTEL
ST. Regis Not Only the Finest But the
Most Comfortable in New York.

None of New Yorks great hotels has
at Fifth avenue and Fifty-ffth street.
Recognized as the finest in the world, its
chief claim to popularity lies in the fact
that it offers the largest measure of re-
fined comfort at standard prices.
The St. Regis has come to be recog-.
nized as the leading Lying and dining es-
Establishments In New York, is not an
experiment. but a well-established neces-
sity in the city's hospitality. 1t has been
tried and tested by thousands, and not
found wanting. 1t represents a superior
phase of hotel life and stands unrlvaled
for comfort and home likeness. On this
subject the London Times, in an article
published soon after the st. Regis opened
its doors, remarks: IF great art con-
noisseur planned to furnish house so
that ii would give the highest pleasure
and comfort to his intimate personal
friends, he could do no more than the st.
Regis does for all its guests.
For some unaccountable reason all sorts
of foolish and exaggerated reports nave
been circulated regarding the prices pre-
vailing at this hotel. The truth IS that
the cost of living at the st. Regis is no
greater than at other first-cless hotels
and. considering its exceptional accoinno-
dations and service, 1t Is even less. rms
is shown by the fact that peautl1ui
furnished room of large size may be mad
for 50 and 81 day; the same, with pri-
vate bath for IS day. or So for two peo-
pie. Parlor, bedroom and bath at $l2 per
day and upward. Restaurant charges are
no HIGHER than in other flrst-class hotels

CITIZENS PRAISE
GOOD ROADS IDEA
Talk of Necessity for Big Bend
Issue
WILL ATTEND CONVENTION
Great Movement Is To Be Started To
Make Jefferson the Banner
Good Roads County in
Whole South.
WILL ATTEND CONVENTION

The movement on foot to organize JEFF
ferson county for good roads is meeting
with enthusiastic Endorsement on all
sides. 1t Is considered the most impor-
tant step in the campaign, and if the peo-
pie OF the county take the same interest
as was evinced at the recent meeting
of the state association, within five years
Jefferson county will have the best sys-
tenn of roads in the south
The merchants who come in contact
with the people from all sections are
united in declaring that the people are
unanimously In favor of every measure
for good roads and are ready to vote
big bond issue at any time.
]. B. Babb, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, said yesterday: THE time
is ripe for the organization of forces to
go after road improvement. Good roads
increase wealth, reduce the dead waste in
haulage and are great factors in the
moral educational and commercial adj
vancement of any section.
This association should eliminate sec
tional strife and encourage the building
of the best roads where they benefit the
most people. Birmingham gets the adj
vantage from every mile constructed,
whether 1t be near the county line or
touching the city limits. The citizens
of Birmingham are willing to bear even
more than their share and will no doubt
lend all their strength to any campaign
which is taken up. There is nothing be-
fore the public half so important. We
need big bond ISSUE and while the
money should be judiciously spent the
more the better.
1--WE can all see the time not far distant
when county, state and nation will CO.
operate in the building of a network of
perfect highways all over the country.
Our county is too far behind the van
in this matter. and it will require siren
uous effort to put it in the lead which
belongs to the city destined to become the
metropolis of the SOUTH
]. d. Collins, president of the Board
of Trade. said: After listening to the adj
dresses at the state convention and hear
ing what our smaller sister counties are

doin, / think it Is high time Jefferson is
organizing and putting much of its sur
plus wasted energy into a consistent fight
for good roads. 1t will solve many a
problem and save many thousands of dol
lars.
1.-The convention to be held on Novem-
Der should be attended by every prop
erty holder and every interested citizen
in the county. only by making a great
demonstration and by organizing so that
we may force candidates to indorse our
methods will we ever accomplish what is
possible
I'VE want good roads for ourselves"
said Sol Caheen. while it may be very
well to talk about building for our chill
dren and grandchildren, think we should
be selfish enough to put ourselves first
ard get these roads now.
1T is an undoubted fact that our coun-
ty is in the van when 1t comes to COM
parison with other large counties. am
in favor not only Of issuing $1,00O000 in
bonds to build roads in the county but
l hope the city will issue just as mulch
more, that our streets, from one end of
Greater Birmingham to the other may
be put in condition and kept there. We
must have some way to get out of Bir-
mingham into these good county roads
which it is proposed to build. OF the two
propositions I think the latter is equally
as important"
Ferd Marx said: "Such an organization
in Jefferson county could accomplish
great things, and | know of no move
that would be more popular. Good roads
mean better business in every line, and
prosperity is just what we want"
Il see by The Age-Herald that move
ment is on foot to organize a Good Roads
association in Jefferson county," said c.
IS. Rogers of the Board of Revenue. 81
am heartily In favor of an organization,
one that will get behind the movement
for good roads in Jefferson county. Such
an organization will have great effect
in crystalizing the good roads sentiment
in the county and 1t will be the vehicle of
pushing legislation, election and other
movements for good roads. I shall be
very glad to join said association and to I
assist in every way possible to make 1t
success"

OLD LAND PATENT.

An old United States land patent grant
ed in the early days Of Alabama was
fled yesterday in the probate court of,

of land in Tuscaloosa county. It is dated
July 1, 1881, and bears the original auto

The old document is made out to Rob-

Land patents of this kind have often
been filed in the probate office, and sew
eral have borne the signature of Alb.
raham Lincoln and later presidents. This
is the first brought to light, however,
with Jackson's signature affixed and is
an object OF peculiar interest.
