Greenville October 16.-(Special) -Some
days ago a good roads organization was
begun In this county. Last Saturday dele
gates were elected from the various beats
and today those delegates assembled in
the courthouse and the organization was
perfected. All who came were invited to
participate. and the courthouse was we'll
filed with interested and enthusiastic
road advocates.
The delegation who attended the Biz
mingham convention during the past two
days were fortunate to secure two men
to address the people on the subject of
roads They were ]. Fl. Bankhead, United
States senator, and D. H. Winslow, gov
eminent road expert
A. e. Gamble first introduced Mr.. Wins
low, who told the people all about build
ing sand-clay road, and that 1t could be
built at cost from $3.50 to $500 per
mile, that the material in Butler county
was IN every way suitable to the build
ing of the sand-clay road at the minimum
cost
Mr.. winslow captured the audience by
interspersing some appropriate anecdotes
with the necessarily dry subject OF build
ing roads. However, the people were thor
oughly interested from start to finish.
Senator Bankhead followed Mr.. Winslow
in a short talk upon the Importance OF
transportation and the great cost now
owing to the miserable roads over whlcn
produce had to be transported. He said
that the money derived from the convicts
should be apportioned to the various coun-
ties according to population, and that to-

or other means by the counties would

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Republicans and the Amendment.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Many republicans of this city with
whom I have talked today regret that
Mr. J. W. Davidson has issued a call
for republicans to meet in conference in
this city on October 30 to take action on
the proposed constitutional amendment.
Mr.. Davidson, as an Individual, has a.
perfect right to call as many conferences
as he may wish, and as of as many kinds
as he may wish, and Of as many kinds
tbority to call republicans together at
this time for any purpose, and it is yerv
doubtful If any appreciate number of
our party would attend a conference at
this time unless It was called in a dulv
authorized manner. It. must not be un-
dsrstood from this that the republicans
or Alabama are taking no interest In the
approaching election on the proposed con-
stitutional amendment, thew are TAKING
deep interest In that question. not mere
~ because they are republicans but be-
cause they are free, and they desire TO
remain So They realize and appreciate
the fact that 1t is about the most impor-
tant question ever submitted to the peo-
pie OF this state, and 1t is my best judg-
ment, formed after a careful personal
investigation, and from my connection
with republican newspaper that fullv
30 per cent of them are going to cast their
votes against the amendment, the state
ments or any so-called leader to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS

The great Sells-Floto shows will come
to Birmingham for a two-days stop, Mon
day and Tuesday october Is and &C. This
is the big antitrust circus that has come
out with flying colors during the, recent
circus war.
Talking of lions and hyenas," the press
agent of the Sells-Floto Circus said, ire
minds me of something that l saw in our
zoo one day at feeding time. The head
keeper was going around the tent calling
attention to the traits of the different
animals, and at feeding time particularly
to the difference between a lion and a
hyena. The animals always know when
the keeper is coming with their meat,
and they show great excitement, leaping
from one end of their cage to the other
and roaring with eagerness for the ex-
pected feast. In one cage was fine lion
with his mate, both of whom were pacing
excitedly from end to end, waiting for
the meat to be thrown in. When the
keeper appeared before the cage the lion
ess crouched ready to receive the meat,
on which she pounced with ferocious
growl, but the lion with q courtesy
worthy of his reputation as the king of
beasts, paid not the slightest attention
to what had been thrown to his mate but
continued his pacing up and down the
cage until the keeper threw his piece in.
This may seem almost increditable, but I
saw 1t. Then the head keeper led me to
the cage of the hyenas, with the remark:
The lion Is a gentleman; come and see
a real brute There were two hyenas,
male and female, and when the first piece
OF meat was thrown, they ripped and
tore and snarled at each other with
savage fury for possession of it. The male
got it, and when the female had received
hers, there was scene of ferocious glut-
tony that can hardly be described. They
tore the meat apart in frantic haste.
gulping 1t in great pieces, and all the
time they glared and growled at each
other like the disgusting beasts they are.
each trying to swallow the meat first so
that he or she might rush over and fight
for the second piece. And that is ex-
actly what happened, for as soon as the
male had gulped his down, he made a
savage attack on his mate for her por-
ton, and the keeper had to separate them
with his iron bar. No use talking. The
lion is not only the king of beasts, but the
real gentleman of the animal kingdom as
well.''

Why the West Believes In Building
Highways For Automobiles.


Highways For Automobiles.
''The good roads movement in the
east does not compare with that of the
west" said Horace o. Gordon of the
Oklahoma Good Roads association
while he was in New York on visit.
II think the work Of the good reads
advocates In the east has stirred mp
the public demand and desire for the
best roads In the world In the west.
but do not believe the eastern states
are carrying out the work SO thorough
ly as the western states.
1--WE in the west appreciate the fact
that the opening of the western coun-
try depends entirely upon its roads.
and we are not going to build high
ways which will last merely decade.
like your eastern state roads. to be
torn up by automobiles.
I'VE are building roads which the
motor cars cannot tear up. We feel
that the automobile can do us mere
good than the horse, because we have
to cover hundreds of miles where you
In the east cover tens Of miles.
ut seems a ridiculous thing to build
road for the use Of the horse. which
is on the decline. and then when tho
automobile comes along and tears 1t
up to jump up and yell that the motor
car is destroying our roads. The thing
to do Is to build roads for the automo-
bile. and then the horse can use them
as long as he lasts. which will not be

Forest Service and Good Roads.


Realizing that with thicker settle
ment and increasing use Of the ma.
tional forests good roads will become
more and more crying necessity, it has
been arranged that the Office Of public
roads of the department of agriculture
shall cooperate with the forest service
in drawing up plans for comprehensive
systems Of roads and trails in the ma
tional forests. Hitherto the funds al
lotted by congress to the forest service
for permanent improvements on ma
tional forests have largely been used
for road and trail building. but the
amount Is too small compared with the
total area Of the forests to make pos
sible more than a small beginning.
Building each year under the new ar
rangement can be done with reference
to carefully worked out plan, escap-'
ing the danger Of undirected effort.
The roads. trails, telephone lines and
fire lines already constructed In ma
tional forests are proving of great
value both in the work of fire protec-
ton and In serving the convenience OF
the public. The further this work can
be carried the greater will be the use

An Astroloqer's Letter.

An astrologer's letter to President
Van Buren forecasting the results of
his election in 1910 is in the library
of congress and perhaps gives crude
idea Of some of the fallacies Of our
grandfathers. The following are some
extracts: "In this horoscope the as
cendant directed to the semisquare Of
Mars would be in operation about the
middle Of the fourth year. October,
1885, and might cause sickness,
flux or hurt by wounds" etc.
II have opened the horoscope for Gen.
eral Harrison, which accOrds with the
chief events Of his past life and which
II right he will not fill the Office Of
president during the next term even
II elected. And the danger l appre-
hend to yourself is not from your pub
lie opponents. but from those on whom
you repose confidence" Those who
are superstitious may be inclined to
credit this star gazer with some meas
ure Of wisdom, for Harrison. although
elected, died month after his inau-
guration.-New York Post.
