HOW GOVERNMENT
CONSTRUCTS ROADS

The roads maintained by the United
states at Fort Oglethorpe, Chickamauga,
are said to be the best ever constructed
in the south. The roads are unauestion-
ably ideal and 1t Is seldom that serious
washouts are encountered while travel
ing over the government reservation.
Many Birmingham people visiting Chick
amauga park have become interested in
the roads there and many inquiries have
been directed at the officers in charge as
to the method of construction 1t is be-
lieved that the construction of the roads
by the government at Chickanauga DIFF
fers very little in the method of begin
ming from those constructed In this coun-
ty.
The roads there are first scraped to the
solid of the building site This is rolled
and every impeachment crushed or re-
moved. The bed is made as smooth as
possible. The road Is constructed with
clay and pebbles secured from Chick
amauga creek nearby, which forms the
main bed OF the road. The result is
that the pebbles are clasped by the clay,
which almost makes them concrete This
is added to by placing some ebert on
the top. The road is then properly coned
and heavily rolled. After being con-
structed the roads are provided with side
bitches, which carry away all moisture

amount of dust even after a regiment of
soldiers have passed over the roadway

eminent at Chickamauga are available
here and in larger quantities.

FARLEY ARRESTED
ON GRAVE CHARGE

Asa Farley, formerly a shoemaker at
Haleyville, has been landed In the county
jail by United States secret service men
charged with raising United States GER
tficates.
The government agents arrested the
prisoner at a point above Nashville sew
erai days ago, and he has been IN jail
at Nashville since that time.
1t is claimed by the secret service men
that Farley raised S certificate to make
it pass for $50, and that he succeeded
In passing as many as three of the bills
1t is said Farley made the bill that H.
A. Pate tried to pass on the Jefferson
County Savings bank short time ago. in
which transaction he was unsuccessful
and was arrested. Pate has been tried
and bound over to the grand jury. 1t Is
understood that Pate implicated Farley in
the bogus money transaction, and after
trailing the man several days the secret
service landed him in Tennessee.
Capt. e. p McAdams of the secret SER

both the men will be indicted at the next

BIRMINGHAM AS A
FINE SUMMER RESORT

THE undeniable fact that our home on
Alto Mont road Is cooler than any sum-
mer resort and the fact that l for the
first time occupied it on this glorious Sun
day interested me most today" said Hill
Ferguson
AT our place on the crest of Red noun
tain we can view practically every inter-
esting point in Jones Valley. The view
is enhancing and the atmospheric condi-
tions are unequalled at any point In this
district.
I'VE have been fortunate this summer
in not having hot daysxor unfortunate,
don't know which. Be that as 1t may.
the fact remains that today, which was
the warmest. was truly delightful on the
Alto Mont road. To gain this place has
been our ambition for some time and its
completion lifted quite a burden of un-
certainty.
Il would recommend Birmingham as a
summer resort provided a home is mhin-
tanned near this point where mosquitoes
are unknown and where the breezes from
both Jones and Shades valley sweep
through at fair rate the entire day.
This has really interested me. and for
this I am verySnuch elated and pleased
today"

OFFICERS RAID The

OFFICERS ARE DIsCRETE
Hurry Those Arrested to County Jail,
Eyading Those Who Gather on the
Streets-Arrest Made mt
Bessemer

Civil war almost reigned for while at
Warrior yesterday, and the cause or II
was that problem which Is proving OF
such vital interest to the state of Ala
bama. Nearly dozen arrests were maae
for violations of the prohibition law, ana
eight of the prisoners were brought TO
Birmingham and placed in the county
jail for safe-keeping.
For the past several months 1t ap-
pears that the town of Warrior has oeen
the lair of a varied array or slgn,less
felines. Part of the population desired
that the blind tigers be allowed 10 oper-
ate without interference from the offlcefs
of the law, while the other part wished
them put out of existence.
Mayor E. A. Terry then decided to
take the matter in hand He COMMUNE
Gated with the sheriffs office in Biz
mingham and asked that two deputies be
sent him. Accordingly Deputies Vaught
and Steel, two of the oldest and most re-
liable men the sheriffs force were
sent to Warrior, where they acted as
city officers under the mayors orders.
Eight negroes and two white men were
arrested for violating the prohibition law
Immediately the excitement began.
Knots of men, both white and black,
gathered and talked of freeing the
negroes. Members of the other faction
gathered In groups and talked OF pre-
venting anything which the other side
might attempt.
1t looked as If those favoring the I'D
erty of the prisoners were becoming the
more numerous and matters looked ugly
The two white men made bond and were
released. 1t was decided to bring the
negro prisoners who could not make bond
to Birmingham and place them in the
county jail for safe-keeping.

were lack Barkman. y. Y. Jackson. Early

are badly in need of repairs. 1t also de-

MARKED INCREASE
IN SUNDAY CLASSES

today has been the growth of the Foun-

class" said the Rev. S. T. Slaton, pas
tor of the Fountain Heights Methodist
church, yesterday afternoon. THE class
is only about five months old and 1 con-
slider its growth to be marvellous. We
started with membership of about 20.
and today have an average attendance of
60 men. Our class draws no denomina-
tional lines and is dismissed in time for
the members to reach their churches.
I'VE have regular business organiza-
ton with a president. vice president asd
other officers A business meeting Is held
before each session on Sunday. The class
is modelled after the Ramsey class of the
First Methodist church, and is divided
into two sections, who have their Of
ficers. A contest is on at present between
the two sections as to who will secure
the greatest number of points in six
months. The losers will pay for ban
quet. OF course. this is only a side issue.
the main purpose being to secure the at
tendance of the men at Sunday school,"
