Figures submitted by the Municipal
Journal and Engineer show that dur
ing the year 1910, thirty-nine cities
of the United States put down paw
ing of this material, while twenty
one additional municipalities have
announced their determination to put
down some of the paving during
the present year.
After going into the details of the
contract stipulations and the pro-
cesses used inthe preparation of the
materials, Mr.. Hazlehurst concludes
his article as follows:
According to the United States
census of 1910 the city has popula-
ton of 154 900. The business streets
are generally from 40 to 80 feet
wide, but one of them, Marietta street
is 100 feet between curb lines, No
statistics are available showing the
tent and character of traffic on these
streets The street work has been
laid within the congested district of
the city and has been subject to the
heaviest traffic due to this fact.
There has been no expense for main
tenance to this time and no repair
work beyond removing and replac-
ing small amount of this work on
Edgewood avenue along the street
railway tracks, which have rails. Of
the seveninch grooved girder type.
The blocks abut directly against the
rail and an insufficient foundation to
these tracks at this particular point
is given as the cause OF the slight
trouble.
sSince the commencement of the
modern wood block pavement in this
city no other type has been used SO
far as known, with the exception of
certain streets which are paved by
the county commissioners, with .oi-
luminous pavement and few streets
which have been cherted or laid with
a tar macadam in outlying districts.
In general both the city officials and
the taxpayers are entirely satisfied
with the materials furnished and
work performed and at this time
wood block is the most popular OF
the street surfacing materials in this
city" -,se-s.
The wood block paving Is winning
great many friends in this city,
where one trial block was laid nearly
year ago. at the time when the old
administration was planning the be-
ginning of extensive improvements of
this character. The new administra-
ton will have this one block on
Milan street as an object lesson,
and there is no doubt but that a great
deal of wood block paving will be
included in the new schedule when 1t
is finally made up. The kind Of ma
terial to be used in the paving of the
streets is matter of vital importance
to the property owners and they
should not hesitate to let the city
commissioners know just exactly
what they desire There were sever
al streets scheduled for paving with
the creosoted blocks in the old sched-
ule, and no doubt others will be ad-
ded to the list as result Of the
paving of the Milan street block from
Mcneil to Louisiana, with creosoted
yellow pine blocks.

iQUO WARRANTO IN
 MILITARY MATTER
Controversy Between General Clark and General Graves Goes Into
 the Courts

Montgomery, June 19-(SpeciaD-Quc warranto' proceedings inaugurated by Bibb Graves, former adjutant general of Alabama, to ascertain by what right General Louis " Clark of Birmingham is contending for the office of brigadier general of Alabama, were today argued before Judge W. w Pearson of this city. Following upon the arguments the at- torneys in the case were asked to sub init briefs, without any decision being reached in the matter.
 The contest between the two military officials is of absorbing interest, owing to the fact that General Graves appoint bama National guard was made by For mer Governor Braxton Bragg Conner just few days before he retired from or flee. The position taken by Governor Conner at the time, and by General Graves, was that General Clark's term as brgadier general had expired two years before.
 Almost immediately upon Governor Elm met O'Neal's accession to office, how ever, General Louis V. Clark of Birming- ham was re-appointed to office, the pres ent chief executive taking the position that General Clarks term of office did not expire until after the accession ot the new governor.
 Attorneys for General Clark are Tyson Wilson and Martin and Howard Seay, the states second assistant attorney general Attorneys for General Graves are Ray Rushton. Judge w. H. Thomas and P. H. Stern.

DECATURS SEEM
 BETTER PLEASED
Now Believed That POstOf- flee Consolidation Will
 Be Satisfactory

Decatur, June 19.-(Special )-The peo- 1usting themselves to the consolidation of the New Decatur postoffice with the Decatur office and the feeling of indig- nation in New Decatur that broke out at the time of the consolidation is rap idly dise ppearing. Conservative men realize that 1t was not spite work on the part of any government office holder or on the part of any individual that the two offices were consolidated. The months ago the department at Washing ton detailed a special inspector to come here and look over the situation and re- port. The result was that he reported in favor OF the consolidation of the two offices. Much of his time was spent here in interviewing the citizens of New De- catur.. What they told him has not been made public. When this inspector came
 here he found the following situation Two postoffices about three quarters oi a mile apart in two cities whose cor porate lines join and which cities are practically one, with the exception ot being separate municipalities. He figured
 that by consolidation the department would save about s4,000 a year and al the same time give the patrons of tho two Decaturs much superior mail ser vice over the present service; that il would keep the office open all night and that mails would be received and dis patched at night the same as during the day. and that the city carrier service would be greatly improved and many other things added to the advantage of the patrons of the office. And aside from all of this 1t means without queS- ton that the government will at a very early date make an appropriation for the erection of a federal building here that will be credit to the city. Some time ago a bill was introduced in con- gress for this purpose.
 New Decatur will have a sub-station with an assistant postmaster on an an nual salary of SLIGO and two clerks at $1 ,000 a year each, and one clerk at $500 a year. Money orders, etc, will be is- sued from this office the same as here tofore. Tho people of New Decatur seem to feel now, as rule, that the con- solidation was inevitable, and a majority of them seem to be satisfied.
 The consolidation of the offices goes into effect on July 1, and on June 30 Postmaster William A. Warner of New Decatur will turn the New Decatur post office over to Postmaster William Nose ley of Decatur. Who will be in charge of the New Decatur sub-station, com mencing July 1, is as yet unknown, but it is generally supposed that Portmaster Warner will for some time at least re- tain the place. MT. Warner has been postmaster of New Decatur for the past five years, and has made most excel lent official

HENRY WALKER IS

Charged With Murder of Mrs. Dick inson at Cordova Eight
 Years Ago

Jasper June 19.-(Special) )-The trial rf Henry Walker. the negro who is charged with having murdered Mrs Joe c. Dick inson at Cordova, is set for tomorrow
 Walker has been tried four or five times and sentenced to hang, but in each case the supreme court granted a new trial
 About eight years ago it is charged that Walker entered the Dickinson home knocked Mrs. Dickinson's husband into insensibility, and then murdered her MT. Dickinson has never been in his right mind since, and about a month ago he died at Parrish. Opinion is u.vided as to whether his death will benefit Walker at his trial. Some seem to think that Dick inson's absence as the states most inn portant witness will materially aid the de- fense, and others are of the O. inon that Dicknson's s death and his being Walkers second victim, will prejudice the jury against the prisoner.
