 In discussing good roads last night be- fore the good roads convention Senator John H. Bankhead made this pertinent remark: 'If I had n1y way would kick up a war with Spain and I'd lick her and keep on lickin' her until she agreed to take the Philippines back again and keep 'em"
 He was telling of the expenditure of the national governments money in Cuba and the Philippines for good roads, while national aid is denied the states. He de- clared that the Philippines have always been burden, and that Spain put them off on America and was glad to get rid of them
 "They claim these roads are built for civilization" he said. "Well, we need little civilization ourselves" He also said that Cuba fooled Amer ica twice, got her money for good roads. | and then the army withdrew leaving the investment
 With the Chamber of Commerce audi torium filled to it's capacity and a crowd standing in the hall, three great advo- cates of good roads, orators of long proven ability, delivered addresses to the Ala bama Good Roads association last night. Senator John H. Bankhtad made one of ms strongest appeals for the enactment or the recently adopted constitutional amendment into law. urged the appoint ment of a road commission, and advanced i the opinion that the money collected from the hire of convcts in Alabama should go to the building of good roads. These two objects, he said, should stand first in the battles of the association. William P. Blair, secretary of the Ma tional Brick Manufacturers association. one of the national figures in the battle for good roads, made his remarks along the line of experience with macadam roads and with brick paved roads. While his narration of the details of Cleye- land, O., system of roads, consisting of nearly 400 miles of brick paved high ways. was considered remarkable, the audience realized the value of spending all the money at once and investing prop erly. He followed his talk with some Ian tern slides of famous highways in the country, of brick pavements under con struction, of the speedway at Indianap- oils and other interesting scenes
 The address of M. V. Richards of Washington, D. C., the land and immi- grafton agent of the Southern railroad on Good Roads and the Farmer" was a bird's-eye view of the railroad mans value on good roads. It showed that the railroads are always ready to CO., operate and considered the building of good roads the best way to increase their traffic.

The spin of the city gave the good roads delegates an enjoyable ride over some of the good roads in the county yesterday afternoon. The crowd assembled at the Cham Der of Commerce and while the re- sponse of owners was not suf- f1cient for the crowd, a number of machines turned out and gave the visitors a spin which will make them remember Birmingham when trudging over country roads.

Lost Their Power.
With the majority of these people
their longevity is the only remarkable
feature of their lives. Some OF the
men in their prime were looked upon
as medicine men," endowed with
supernatural power, and consequent
ly of great influence among their fell
lows. When the black gowns" or
priests, began their work they con-
demned that sort of superstition, and
the medicine men gradually lost their
power and influence. Little, then re-
mains to be told of these old men or
women, unless it be their conversion
to Christianity.
At the present time, all, both old
and young, are devout adherents Of
the Roman Catholic religion. Their
devotion is something really note
worthy. All those living within a
reasonable distance of the mission
attend every church service with
great punctuality. On special occas-
ions such as Easter, Corpus Christi,
the Feast of the Ascension or Christ
mas, both sexes and all ages turn out
en- mass to participate in the cere-
monies. On those days they assemble
at the mission from all parts of the
reservation. many coming from a
distance.
In the intervals between religious
