WELLBORN FAVORS
 BONDS FOR ROADS
WOULD ISSUE o,ooo-oUTLINEs SYSTEM COVERING 1853 MILES IN CALHOUN coUNTY-WoULD IM- PROVE 5Y-RoADs ALSO.

Anniston, April 2a.-(Special) M E. Wellborn, president of the First National bank and member of the board of coun- ty commissioners, is out in favor of sSOO.- 600 bond issue for good roads, and one mill tax to pay the interest on the bonds and keep the roads in good condition.
 Speaking as a private citizen he said yesterday: The commissioners court has taken no action on the question of issuing bonds for the purpose of build ing good roads, nor can it do so until the issue Is favorably voted on by the people of Calhoun county. Personally l favor such issue, to the amount of at least $SO0.O00. l say s3o00O0 for the reason that I think such an amount will be neces- sary to accomplish the end sought Now. here are some roads which in my judg- ment should be made f1rst-class with the money secured from the sale of the bonds
 "Anniston to Etowah county, by way of Duke. 19 miles.
 "Anniston to Talladega county, via Me Fall. If miles.
 "Anniston to Cherokee, via Jackson vile and Piedmont, 29 miles.
 Oxford to Cleburne county. via Chocco- locco and Iron City, Is miles,
 "Choccolocco 10 Rabbittown by way of White Plains. Il miles.
 Alexandria to Ohatchie, nine miles
 "Anniston to Sulphur Springs, via Nor risville road, IS miles.
 Jacksonville to Angel, seven miles.
 Jacksonville to Alexandria, six and one half miles.
 Jacksonville to Tredegar and beyond, seven and one-half miles.
 Piedmont to Rabbittown, via Nance's creek, nine miles.
 Iron City to White Plains, five miles.
 'DeArmanville to Anniston, six miles,
 These roads constitute a total of about 15S miles, and are the principal roads of the county as l recall them. Ii will re- quire 5000 per mile to build such roads as Calhoun county Is entitled to.
 The wisdom in the issuing of bonds to macadamize these principal roads of the county does not consist wholly in the making of them such roads as are desired but 1t amounts to much more. It would permit the commissioners to expend the present annual road fund in the improve ment of the other by-roads-to the bring ing of them up to such conditions as will be much better than our present best roads.
 'To meet the expense of the interest on the bonds and the keep of the new roads, my idea Is that tax of one mill should be levied-that is a tax of S1 on 5000 taxa ble property This amount would be en- trely sufficient for the two purposes mentioned and would leave unmolested the present road fund for the purpose have already suggested-the improvement of the other roads of less importance throughout the county

ANNUAL ENcAMPMENT. Third Regiment VII Probably Encamr
 at Oxford Lake.

Anniston. April 29.-The Third regiment. Alabama National Guard, will more than likely encamp at Oxford Lake park this summer.
 Last year the regiment attended ma neuvers at Chickamauga park, but this year Uncle Sam has not provided for such maneuyers, and therefore the en- campment will be held in this state.
 The Third regiment encamped at OK ford Lake 12 or 15 years ago and with some preparation the camp site could be made an ideal one, its location being espe- cially adapted for practice on the range about a mile away.
 It Is earnestly hoped that Colonel Me Kleroy will use his influence to secure the encampment for Oxford Lake.

Means Savinu of Time

The agreement of all parties that the impeachment trial of Sheriff Cazalas of Mobile be by deposition means a great saving in the time and service of the supreme court, before which the hearing Is to come. May 24, has been set as the date upon which the evidence is to be back, 1t to be taken by examiners in the meantime. It is believed that in this way there will be a more thorough discussion of the case at a great deal less expense than would have been the case if oral testimony had been taken.

the analogy TO governmental tunc'

thing about this inauguration that

is, that neither TAFT nor Roosevelt

large number OF trains OF coks go-
ing to the mines OF the Phelps
