 Bad Condition

Troy, February 15.-(Special.) "A good roads organiza ton has been per- 1,ctcd in Pike county and *he citizens say they expect to have better roads l.. the future than they have enjoyed in tho past officers were elected for the purpose of perpetuating the move meLt and the officers were selected from the different localities of the coun- ty !. w Bowers was elected presi- dent and vice presidents were selected t. represent each of the several dis tiicis of the county. In this way they hope to enlist the interest of all the citizens of the county in this import an, movement that road building might have q more loyal support than it has now.
 An invitation fee of s1 is charged each new member of this organization, Mhci is to help defray the general expense of the movement The roads of this county are in bad condition and have been so for about two months. This has not only hurt the automo- bile business in this section and worked hardships for those who depend on them. but has been a serious drawback to all the planters of the county.
 It Is also stated that the Glidden tour may traverse this county. If they should come through this county the citizens would like to furnish as good roads for these tourists as they will find in any other county in this or any other state. The recent good roads boom sWill likely aid in bringing all auto- mobile tourists through this section.

 It is understood that the lovers oi baseball in Decatur are making an ef- fort to hold the Southeastern franchise in that city. They will find it neces- csary to subscribe about 5000 of stock. only s2000 of which has been taken up to this time. It is stated that the Decatur Baseball association can hold the franchise if it so wishes the sale having been made with certain pro- visions
 It is generally believed that the oth- CT clubs of the league will fare bet ter financially if the Decatur franchise Is removed to Ensley or Bessemer, but the option of keeping team in De- eatur will probably be left entirely with the Decatur people themselves. Several of the property owners of Meridian street. which has recently been paved with asphalt. have made a vigorous kick before the city commis- sion on the assessments to pay for the cost of the work. They make no spe- cifc claim that the cost is excessive but they are not satisfied with the prop osition. The commissioners have of fered to have the city pay one-third of the cost, which has been done on several other paved streets in Hunts vile.
 A whirlwind campaign for new mem bers is being conducted by two crews of solicitors representing the Young Mems Christian association. Every dol lar taken in from new members rep resents mile in an ina ginary trip to the north pole and both teams have reached Indiana In the dash north ward.
