JUDGE OPPOSED
 TO BOND ISSUE
Demand for Houses Continues to Be Far Ahead of Supply in
 Gadsden

Gadsden, June Especial )-Probate Judge L. L. Herzog of this county is not in favor of bond Issue for the building of good roads. He believes that with the system in vogue now the county can have the best of highways in a few years with out the burden of a bond issue Of course there are many of the people who do not agree with him and the question of bond Issue is almost certain to be agi- tated again within year or two. It has been the experience of the county that each new probate judge has felt that he could do much better in providing roads than had his predecessor, yet admins trations of this office come and go and good roads are still but a promise. It is true that much good work on the roads has been done in the past and Is being done now but there has always been lacking the system and scientific construc- tion
 The lack of houses in this city to care for the people who are already here, to say nothing of those who want to come is forcibly demonstrated by the fact that in an eight-room house near the plant of the Southern Iron and Steel company 64 persons find lodgings The available bed rooms are in use 24 hours of the day, part of the occupants sleeping in them at night and working in the day time and the others occupying them during the day and working in the plant at night Building is going on right along, but the demand for room seems to be far in ex- cess of the supply.
 The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company put it's No furnace in blast today and the furnace No 1 will be blown out for the present. It was in- tended few days ago to operate both stacks but the continued downward trend of iron has caused the abandonment of this idea. The company has good num- Der of orders booked ahead and can run the furnace for some months to come without making iron at the prices quoted now.

Bradstreet's Report

| New York, June 2.-Bradstreet' s tomor- row will say:
 1 Trade and crop conditions still display 1 irregularity and concrete reports proceed ing from the improved tone, in evidence of late. lag behind anticipations.
 At some centers bargain sales of spring goods are already in evidence. Job ping business has felt the effects of the gradual growth in retail trade in a fair volume of recorders Business, however, though classed as better than for some months past, is at best q flling-in, end- of-the-season character. For fall and winter or beyond conservatism controls and there Is still desire to see crop and tariff results more clearly.
 Little improvement is yet visible in industrial lines. The cuts in steel bars since extended to all products but wire and rails, have tended to unsettle and dull trade rather than to stimulate. Short time is as noticeable ever and this Is true also in textile manufacture, ma chinery. building, shoe and leather and other industries. Still, the better feeling in cotton goods is unquestionable and prices are frmer albeit at the expense of productive activity. Leather Is rath- CT more active, following advices in prices but shoe manufacturing Is not active and novelties rather than staples fur nish most of the new business booked.

THOSE WHO DIE.

Death is the only King of the Air.
 John B. MOisant, brave, daring and skillful, shot his machine above the earth with serene confidence in his ability to sail over cities and fields and return safe to his brothers and sisters.
 Yesterday one of the thousands of cross-currents that Moisant had never met, struck his machine, turned it over, hurled Moisant to the ground and he is dead.
 One day at the Tri-State Fair Grounds man and woman stood with Moisant and the other ayiators. and the talk turned to the danger of flying. Moisant said there was no more danger in the air than there was in an automobile. Moisant's brother agreed with him.
 Nearby was Garros, who had fallen few days previous and had scared his face A few days later Garros' Demoiselle had come to the earth on its nose, but some kind fate had saved the rider.
 Moisant that day, enthusiastically confident, painted a glowing word picture of how he would, at some fu- ture time, sail from New York to San Francisco; and in five years, he said, there would be as many flying machines in the air as there are birds, and they would be safe as birds.
 The woman stood aside moment and said to her husband, Which one of these men will be killed frst:" and the man said, He who is the brayest,
 The inventor of the locomotive was killed by the machine he made
 Great chemists have been blown to pieces in their own laboratories.
 Confederate heroes who used the first submarine had it as their own coffin at the bottom of the sea.
 Great surgeons in seeking greater anatomical knowledge, have died from accidental bricks administered 1 from their own knives.
 Death exactS toll for every secret that man tears from Nature and ex. poses to his fellows.
 Death demands a toll in the per- lection of every instrument that man uses in commerce, and in making the burden of life easier.
