\ LARGE PERCENTAGE OF
 PROFITS FROM DlSPENSARY

Shefieid. Jan. s--tspeciel. )-some conception Of the immense volume of business done by the shenieid dispens- ary fer the eighteen months in which 1t was operated in this city, covering the period from July 1, 1907, to January |. 1908. Is gathered from the final report made by Dispenser Bridges for the time covered.
 ! The total sales for eighteen months segregated the sum of t17s.1fs.eo. with net proits of eeo.etl.es. The per cent age of profits for the entire period was as. s7, which is thought to be the larg- est per csntage of prosits of any dispen- sary In the state for the same length of time. The City of EhefField received 60 per cent and Colbert County % per cent of the net profits. the dlspensary prov iuG me source of revenue both for the city and the county. The dispensary was open ls7 days. average daily sales belng tsS3.Ss. The first six months the sales reached s77.fSs,eo. while the last twelve months showed Sf01,ss5, with profits on the latter of,s34.sSs. Tn sub hitting his report to the City councfi. Dispenser Bridges was highly compli- Wented by Mayor Blair on the excel lent report made and the splendid con duct of the dispensary during the eighteen months in which he served as such. A resolution was adopted by the Council thanking the dispenser for en- cient and gratifying services.
 The dispensary at Tuscumbia as yet has not made public it's final report cov- ering the eighteen months of It's exist ence, but 1t is thought that the shef- field dispensary will show . business of at least 70 per cent greater than that of Tuscumbta.

 ROAD FUND City to Participate in IF IT IS LEGAL TO DO SO Sense of County Board of Revenue
 on Subject. q. T. Newell Attended Meeting in Heatsd Frame of Mind--wanted Psy for Grading Road-To
 nepair Mobile Road.
T IS LEGAL TO DO so

A. T.. Newell was somewhat aroused: T never want to handle another dol lar of Montgomery county's money" !" he declared to the Board of Revenue Saturday. "But want my just dues"
 MT. Newell Is a road builder to whom was given the contract to gravel Mo- bile Road for about nine miles. The contract provided that he be allowed the sum of s2.s3 1-2 per yard of gravel, for the nine and one-thfrd miles of road. Only eight and half miles of road was built, however, and County Engineer Bullen saw fit not to pay the s2.s3 1-2 per yard claiming that such price was made upon the basis of nine miles of road, which would have neces- sitated further haul than did eight and ons-hah miles.
 The difference between the price off, fered, and the price claimed by Mir. Newell amounted to about $1,50e. He its meeting Saturday, represented by his attorney, to ask for remuneration at the rate in the contract And his advent brought occasion for heated speeches for half hour or more. Fl- nally, however, he accepted the sug- gestion of the less heated Board mem bers. that the matter be. investigated by County Attorney Watts, and settled according to equity and the legal as- pect.
 The Saturday morning session of the Board was uneventful, beyond the con- troversy over the Newell contract. most of the business being that of mi- nor routine. The vote on the issue of sf50,o00 in bonds had been canvassed during the morning before the meet ing, and was read, showing the im- mense majority of 752 to Ss in favor of the issue. The matter of the bonds was not mentioned except for the dis closure of the vote.

 1t was decided. after . petition of H. N. Hughes, Clerk of the City Court that arrangements be made for an in- ter-court house telephone system, con- meeting alt or most ofhcea. Mir Hughes had made the request Tor . telephone in the oface of the court
 Gaston Gunter,on behalf of the city asked audience of the Board that he might determine the attitude of the County Commissioners toward the cfty's right to a portion of the road and bridge fund. The sense of the Commissioners was that of working in harmony with the city, and advised Mir Guntef that there would be no hitch as far as they were concerned. A case now pending in the Supreme Court would determine the constitutionaiity of the provision of a division of the fund, and In case of legality their con- tribution to the city treasury would be made gladly.
 And not only did they prove their goodwill to the city of Montgomery by their intentions, but promised to improve and repair Mobile Road, from Holt Street to the city limits, portion of the thoroughfare within the juris- dfction of the city. And if the City Council is willing, the Commissioners will be glad, according to Commission CT Griel, to give to the city . new steam roller. The roller would repre- sent a gift of love. said Mir. Griei In case the law was unconstitutional and if the law was legal. the roller will De paid for out of the city's proportion of the road and bridge fund.
 Dr. 0. F. Bush, state Prison In- spector, made an informal report. with recommendations, of his tour of fnspec- ton through the Montgomery County jail. He asked that laundry. a com plete set of spittoons in every cell, better drainage of the grounds. and screen doors for the lower floor be provided, to complete the excellent san itary facilities of the prison. The Board will investigate the matter be- fore passing upon the recommendations at the next meeting.
 Several minor petitions came before the Board, including a request from pr. H. T. Lay, Jail Physician. that the salary attached to the office be raised; one from SherIn Hood that the Board authorize the employment Of man to train and care for the hounds which arc used by the sherlf In trailing criminals, at salary of SIS per month. Both requests were held for final ac- ton until the meeting of next satur- day.

Gets His Child
DIR. S. NJ. PIERCE WINS


DR.. Samuel NJ. Pierce, one of the
most prominent physicians in this
city, swore out writ of habeas cor
Pus this week against his wife for the
custody Of his boy child, Samuel NJ.
Pierce, Jr.
Mrs. Pierce left her home, 2Ia4 L.
street, northwest, and took with her
the boy and girl and went to he
home of her brother-in-law. Mr.. Wal
ter ]. Singleton, where her mother IS
also stopping
On the return of DR.. Pierce to his
home last week, after having finish
ed making his professional calls, he
found that his wife had taken the
two children and gone to her mother.
It will be rendered that this is the
fourth time. the court has turned the
boy over to his father. The case
came up before Chief Justice Clay
baugh last Tuesday.
It was shown by DR.. Pierce's attor-
neys, Messrs. T, L. Jones and NJ. T.
Clinkscales, that Mrs. Pierce left her
home without cause or provocation;
that DR.. Pierce has always been a
good and kind husband to his wife
and that the law sustains DR.. Pierce
in his contention that he has a right
to the custody of his child. After an
argument by counsel, Judge Clay
baugh gave Dr.. Pierce the custody of
the boy with the privilege of allowing
the boy to visit the mother once a
week.
Having become dissatisfied with
the decision Of the court, Mrs. Pierce
went to the Juvenile Court and swore
sy1t warrant against her husband,
char ging him with non-support of
herself and two children. The case
was heard in the Juvenile Court on
Thursday afternoon; Attorney Jones
who represented DIR. Pierce, stated
to the court that Mrs. Pierce was
employed in the Beureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, drawing a good
salary. and furthermore DR.. Pierce
has been given the custody of his
child three times by the upper court
and as the case was pending in the
upper courts and as DR.. Pierce has
decided to file bill for divorce. he
would ask for the immediate dismis-
sal Of the charge against him.
Judge De Lacy took that view of
the case and promptly discharged DR..
! Pierce.

1t IS reported upon very good au-

University were asked to rebel
against DR.. Thirkield, the Presidetn
OF the University. A similar move
ment was inaugurated against DR..
Patton some few years ago. which re-
suited in his removal The present
movement, it is said is being insti-
gated by one of the professors in the
institution, who is inimical to the
president 1t is claimed by many in
the institution that there is an auto
cratic and one man rule in the Uni
versity that the colored trustees are
nothing more than hgureheads and
do not enter their disapproval against
the action Of the president. The
charge IS. there IS a tendency to place
white men and women over colored
teachers and professors. Many of the
colored students have stated to their
friends who the professor is that
wants them to rebel against the pres
ident.
Many of them have been advised
to take no stock in the movement. and
il IS believed that they will follow
the advice given.
