LANE INDIGNANT
 AT WIDOWS STORY
Tells Him That Three Men Had Left Town Without Paying
 Board

Although Commissioner A. O. Lane has given a willing ear to the msfortunes Of many people, he was perhaps never so eXasperated or worked up as yesterday, when it was recited to him that three men who had boarded with a struggling widow woman had deliberately moved off without paying their weekly bills. And in giving the dependant lady his assurance that every step would be taken to appre- bend the men, thus depriving the lady Of her small compensation for feeding them at her table, he said that a special ordinance would be drafted by him at once, imposing severe penalty for such conduct.
 "I have listened to many persons recite their tales of woe here," said Comms- sioner Lane. T have given them my best attention and effort to right their wrongs, but 1 have seldom been touched as by this case of three big able men beating struggling woman out of such a mite. II is true the sum was small, but to this lady it meant a great deal.
 "I intend to get an ordinance shaped up at once with the aid of Captain Boyd, city attorney. and I will see whether men can swindle women in Birmingham with impunity."

CULLMAN IS EAGER
 FOR BETTER ROADS
Rosson Says He Finds Feel ing Among Farmers
 Against Autos

J. R. Rosson of cullman, publisher of the Culman Democrat, was In the city last night at the Metropolitan and stated that the enthusiasm for good roads was apparent in Cullman, and that 1t is expected to bring about results there. meeting of good roads adyo- cates will be held there next Saturday night to formulate plans to carry tho county in an election to be held in the near future on the question of issuing bonds for road improvement.
 q am hopeful of success" said MT. Rosson. though 1t is going 10 take a good deal of work to carry the bond issue. The farmers are so prejudiced against the automobile that it is going to be hard to overcome their opposl- tion.
 Three years ago an election was held in my county on the same proposition. [ had the calling of the meeting to arouse enthusiasm, and set the time as the 18th of February, the time when I thought the roads would be at their worst, and the farmers most easily convinced; but they were not, and the bond issue was de- feated, three to one. This time we are hopeful of better success.
 We are handicapped in Cullman county in the matter of building roads by not having at hand the material out of which 10 build them. Here you have everything that is necessary, but we will have to get it shipped in. But the end is worth the effort"
 Speaking of the crops in Cullman county. MT. Rosson said that they were fine We have had no trouble with the caterpilluar in our cotton," said he, except that a few insects were report. ed to be in the southern part of the county around Philadelphia, without do- Ing much damage Cullman will mar ket this season about 25,0Oo bales of cotton.
 Tn other sections of the state where have been the caterpillar has ruined the cotton. For ten miles east west and south of Huntsville, every leaf of the plants has been destroyed. l have also noticed that the insects are very bad around Tuscaloosa.
 The caterpillar has done all the damage he can do, I think. The leaves of the cotton are beginning to dry up, and as the insects eat only the green, succulent plants, l think they can do no more harm"
