INVITE SOLONS TO
 TALK GOOD ROADS
Legislature Will Probably Accept In- vitation to Attend Birming-
 ham Convention

Montgomery March 16-(Special. )--Lieu- tenant Governor Walter D. Seed, presi- dent of the Alabama senate, and Judge E. B. Almon, speaker of the house of rep resentatives, have received invitations from J. A Rountree, secretary of the Alabama Good Roads association, for the legislature to attend the fourth National Good Roads congress which convenes in Birmingham May 23 next.
 The invitation to attend the good roads congress will probably be read in the house and senate tomorrow, at which time it is announced that a joint resolution will be introduced accepting the invita- ton. The letters contain also personal invitation to all the members of the leg- islature to accept the honor as ex-officio members of the National Good Roads con- gress.
 Secretary Rountrees letter to Lieu- tenant Governor Seed and Speaker Al. mon contained the announcement that del- egates would be present at the Birming- ham convention from every state in the union, as we'll as from each agricultural. industrial, automobile, commercial, good roads, transportation and women's organ ization in the country.
 It is anticipated that, should the sen- ate and house of representatives not be able to attend the congress in body there will nevertheless be large representa- tion of the legislature present, as the good roads movement in this state has taken singular hold on the members of the legislature during the last few months. 4
 number of local bills providing for work on public roads in various counties of the state have been Introduced in the legislature during the present session, and all such measures have met with the hearty indorsement of the members of the two houses. The passage of the Almon state highway commission bill, which passed both houses without opposition, may be taken as indicative of the interest which members feel in developing the roads of the state. and it Is believed that when the fourth National Good Roads congress convenes in Birmingham in May there will be large representation of the Alabama legislature present.

NEWS AND GOSSIP AMONG
 SOLONS AT MONTGOMERY
BY WALTER HARPER

Montgomery, March 16.-(Specia1 )-John Croft of Mobile. president of the Mobile Basin and Tennessee River association. Is in Montgomery and will go to Birming- ham tomorrow to confer with the Cham Der of Commerce of Birmingham on the proposed canal to the Warrior and the further improvement of water transpor- tation from the Birmingham district to the gulf.
 The visit of President Croft is fin an- swer to a request from President Richard W. Massey of the Chamber of Commerce. MT. Croft will meet with the chamber tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
 '"The people of Mobile are naturally very much interested in the opening of navigable waterway with the heart of the Birmingham district" said President Croft. I've of Mobile are watching with considerable interest the new efforts that are being made for the opening of a canal from Birmingham to the Warrior river.
 Tt means vastly more to the indus trial and business development of the Birmingham district than the people can realize.
 'I am glad that the Chamber of Com merce of Birmingham is getting active in this matter and the business organiza- tions of Mobile stand ready to cooperate in every way possible.''
 Senator Tom Frazer was one of the boys who voted that the senate convene at o'clock this morning. His vote was like the vote of the prohibitionist-for the regulation of the other fellow. At ing Tom was still dreaming of lavendar socks. natty cravats and captivating Prince Aiberts. A few minutes before 10 o'clock he appeared in the lobby of the Exchange hotel rubbing his eyes and desiring to know if the senate was yet in session. By the way, Tom ap- pears in a new disguise every morning. A delicious felt cap was the variation for today.
 Representative W. H. Lumpkin of Cher okee county has bill providing for the settlement of labor differences by arbi- tration. He believes that it would be of great value in Alabama in preventing strikes and their attendant annoyances.
 State Geologist Eugene A. Smith of the State university came to Montgomery last night fin the interest of the bill pro- viding for typographical survey of Ala bama. The bill is now before the senate with a favorable report from the com mittee and is down for consideration fin that body tomorrow Senator Thurston H. Allen of Florence is author of the bill
 The measure provides for an appropria- tion of s10,oo0 by the state, which is to be supplemented by similar amount bv the federal government. The state and federal governments are to cooperate in the survey.
 Dr. Eugene A. Smith is greatly inter ested in the passage of the bill, aryu- ing that the topographic survey would be of iDestimable benefit in the mineral development of north Alabama.
 Senator Allen is receiving a nuuher of letters and telegrams from business men and commercial bodies in the Bir-

mingham district urging the passage of the bill. Other members of both houses are also being pressed by home influ- ences for favorable action on the meas ure.
 All the morning session in the house was consumed in further consideration of the revenue bill. The members dis played unusual determination to accom- plish results and worked hard and per- sistently. Every item of the bill is be- ing carefully. thoroughly and exhaustive ly considered. Both houses have found their gait at last and seem determined to rush through with all the care possible all the remaining bills that are neces- sary to the salvation of the state But 1t Is almost certain that special session will have to be held It may, however, not follow immediately after the regular session. If the special session of Con- gress provides for the redistricting of congressional territory, 1t will be neces- sary for the Alabama legislature to re- assemble for this purpose.
 The 1obbies of the hotels and the cap- itol have been crowded for several days with the heads of the educational in stitutfons of the state. President John W. Abercrombie of the University of Alabama; President c. C. Thach of the Polytechnic institute, and President T. w Palmer of the Alabama Girls Tn- dustria1 school are here looking after the interests of their institutions. They seem to be well satisfied with the recom- mendations that have been made affect ing these schools. According to the pres ent programme each of these institutions will get $2OO000.
 Among other educators present are: President G. W. Brock of Livingston. President c. W. Daugette of Jacksonville and President J. B. Hobdy of Albert vile.

OFFER PRIZES TO
 BOY CORN GROWERS
Central of Georgia Will Give $25 in Each County Along
 Its Line

Washington, March f6.-(Special.)- better corn yield and improved methods of cultivation generally along the line of the Central of Georgia railway are very much desired by its management.
 MT. W. A. Winburn, vice president, in an interview, states that: "The Central of Georgia railway is deeply interested in the adoption of improv- ed farming meth ods along it's line and wishes to display its interest in some substantial way. We believe that splendid results will be obtained through the organization of Boys Corn clubs in the various counties in Georgia and Alabama by the United State department of agriculture, through the extension department of the state agricultural colleges, and, in order to encourage this work, we have decided to offer a cash prize of $25 to the boy in each of the coun- ties traversed by our line who secures the best results from the cultivation of an acre of corn under the rules of competition fixed by the organizations named above.
 i'The Central runs through 57 coun- ties in Georgia and 21 counties in Ala bama. which will have the effect of enabling a large number of boys to benefit by the competition and should arouse very general interest in this very important educational work.
 'In addition to these county prizes, the Central of Georgia railway also offers two state prizes one in Georgia and one in Alabama, to be awarded to the boy competing in the coru clubs of the counties traversed by its line of road who obtains the best re- suits under the rules prescribed for the county prizes. We have decided to offer as state prizes the best mule that can be purchased for $250.
 While every boy winning a cash county prize is at liberty to use ths money according to his own best judg- ment, we believe that no better use could be made of it than by taking of the educational advan- tages that are offered by the state colleges of agriculture. This amount generally speaking, will more than pay the expense that will be incurred in taking the farmers short course either at Athens, Ga, or at Auburn, Ala, and we hope that the winners will make this use of 1t.
 Tt is not our expectation in offering these prizes that the increase in the production of corn in these states will make that an important item of freight tonnage in the near future but we do believe that more home grown corn means more live stock and that more live stock will serve to enrich the soil, which must inevitably benefit the farmer and everybody else, including the railroads"
