LONE MARINER
 ON THE ATLANTIC

New Orleans, May 24.-Alone and unat- tended Capt. Adolph Frietsch, the Lone Mariner, set sail for New York yester- day in his 40-foot schooner Forward. He will try to reach New York July and begin building 50-foet schooner, in which he intends to sail alone to Queens town in an attempt to lower his 30-day record.
 Captain Friestsch built the Forward of driftwood picked up on the gulf beach
 Seven years ago he built freight schoon- e rso rough looking that he could get nc l one to ship with him. The vessel was worthy, so the captain sailed alone and since has asked the assistance of no man in handling his vessels. He made the trip from San Francisco 10 Honolulu in a sailboat in 1907. Many times he has sailed over the Gulf of Mexico and Carribean seas accompanied only by his daughter.

highways; a mighty protest to present conditions, and, may I not add, laying the present foundation for the needed prog
 ress in road improvement.
 "No country has ever built its roads without the assistance of the state. Be- cause of our magnificent possibilities for
 agricultural, industrial and commercial
 advancement, we have the justification
 for floating bonds to build the good roads
 that we want"
 Mrs. Lanes Paper
 At this juncture President John Craft assumed the control over the meeting and introduced Mrs. A. o. Lane, who read a paper prepared especially to precede the proposal of the Lincoln-Jackson Memo rial highway. The paper of Mrs. Lane was replete with beautiful and patriotic allusions to the deeds of the men who fought for the countrys welfare and elici- ted the most enthusiastic applause from the large audience from time to time. When Mrs Lane had finished with reading the resolutions favoring the con struction of the Jackson Memorial high way, Mrs. Charles J. Sharpe addressed the body of good roads advocates by way of seconding the resolution offered by Mrs. Lane on behalf of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution and in a most charming manner informed the congress of the desire of that organiza- tion to cooperate with the congress Tn building memorial highways on condition
 that the Daughters would be granted tho privilege of naming these thorough fares for the heroes of the Revolution. The demeanor of Mrs. Sharpe won the hearts of the people and her eloquehce brought forth the pledge of the entire assemblage that the Daughters Of the Revolution could name the highways as fast as constructed
 Other Ladies Talk
 Mrs. Sharpe was followed by Mrs. J. F.. Fraser, who also spoke on the reso- | lution of Mrs Lane with much emphasis | and undeniable effect.
 | Next. Mrs. Chappell Cory, representing l the United Daughters of the Confed- eracy read a paper which represented | to the gathering an appropriate plan | of naming the great highways or the United States for the heroes of the south
 In this paper likewise the Daughters of
 the Confectionery commended the Lincoln
 Jackson Memorial highway, and ex- pressed the hope that the grand Jackson
 Memorial highway through Alabama from l Nashville to New Orleans would soon be- | come a reality. They also indorsed the New York to Atlanta highway.
 l On behalf of the United Daughters ol I 1872 Miss Alma Rittenbery offered a seI | of resolutions suggesting that the county I state and National Good Roads asso- l citations in building highways through tht
 oo~,trv whenever practicable use old trails of the pioneers so that historic I -u..s u interest may thus be preserved
 and the privilege of naming such Wal l asked for the Daughters of 1872.

DECATUR SHERIFF
 GETS TEN LASHES
Expectorating on Morgan County Jail Floor Not AL
 lowed By Prisoners

Decatur, May 24-(Special.) )-Sheriff R. M. McCulloch was found guilty of expectora ting on the floor of the county 1ail yesterday and as a result was given 10 lashes with a leather strap. The sheriff himself, believing in the rigid enforcement of the sanitary rules of the jail, submitted gracefully to the punishment. The trial was by q Kangaroo court, held by the inmates of the county jail. Recently the inmates of the Jail adopted a rule that all who expectorated on the floor must be tried and If found guilty they must re- ceive 10 lashes. The sheriff was not acquainted with the rule but "ignor- ance of the law" was no excuse, as no partiality is shown to violators of the rule but all are treated alike.
 The Morgan county jail is undergo ing a thorough cleaning and the inside walls are being painted. The work is being done under the supervision of Sheriff R. M McCulloch. Later on the outside of the building will be paint ed. The jail has just been inspected by the board of county commissioners

 An excursion train was run from De- catur to Giles county, Tennessee, yes terday as a compliment to the people of the Decaturs by prominent dairy man of the Tennessee county, who sells large quantities of butter to the mer- chants of the Decaturs every few days.
 W. B. Edmondson, popular and well known insurance man of Decatur, has just been appointed by Governor oNeal one of the jury commissioners of this county and will enter upon the duties of his office at once. Just prior to go- ing out of office Gov. B. B. Conner ap- pointed Dr. W. B. Watson of New De catur one of the jury commissioners of this county, but under the ruling ot the attorney general the appointment of Dr. Watson was Illegal, hence this left a vacancy and Governor ONeal ap- ? pointed MT. Edmondson in his stead.

FIRE ROUTS GUESTS
OF CHICAGO HOTELS
Hundreds Hurry to Lobbies in
Their Night Attire.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-Fire drove hun
dreds of guests from their rooms in
the Majestic and Great Northern ho-
tells, which adjoin, at Dearborn and
Quincy streets.
The fire, which started in the kitch-
en- of the grill room on the seven
teenth floor of the Majestic, was ex-
tinguished with a loss of about S40,-
900, mostly from water.
Both hotels are seventeen stories
high and 1t was feared that firemen
would have difficulty in reaching the
fire, but the water pressure proved
adequate and the flames were soon
put out.
The lobby of the Majestic became
congested with guests who had been
awakened and fed from their rooms
With their arms full of clothing they
hurried down the stairways and
dressed in the crowded room. In the
upper stories people crowded about
the elevators pleading to be taken
down. Elevator men and iremen
tried to allay their fears by telling
them that the fire had been extin
guished and a number went back to
their rooms.

TREATY SURPRISES BRITONS
New Pact Between United States and
Canada Pleases Liberals.

London, Jan. 30.-The scope of the
reciprocity agreement between the
United States and Canada came as a
surprise to the British public. No one
had expected so many changes to the
free list or such important tariff re-
ductions as the details of the proposed
measure revealed.
Tariff reform newspapers from their
commencement had made light of the
negotiations between the American
and Canadian commissioners and pre-
dicted failure to reach an understand
ing. The general opinion was that
the United States was SO strongly
welded to high protection that il
would not offer Canada much. The
reception of the agreement, however
is generally favorable.
The Liberal government is distinct
ly favorable to the proposed measure
