CONTRACTS BEING LET
Thirty Counties Receive Appropria- ton for 1911-Road Construc- tion Work Now in Progress
 in Majority of Counties


 l Montsomery, August 17.-(Speciall-- Fifteen counties of the state have until January in which to make appliea ton for their share of the state aid ap. propriation for the construction of public Highways. This announcement was made today by State Highway Engineer W. '. Keller, who has been travelling from one end Of the state to the other dur ing the past year in the interest of state aid work
 Thirty counties of the state haze re- eeived their appropriation for the Wear 1s11, while nearly 25 counties have received both the 1911 appropriation and their pro rata for the present year, leaving in the noishborhood of 15 counties that have made no effort to benefit by the legisla- lures generosity in the establishment of state aid highways.
 Under the law, all counties that do not ciaim their share of the states appro- priation flor two successive years lose the money to which they were entitled.
 If the h counties that have not yet applied for .their appropriation for the year 1911 and 1912 fail to do so by January 1. the sl0O0 to which these counties were entitled will revert back to the general fund. though they can then claim their share for the year 1913, together with their pro rata of whatever other money that may have reverted back to the general fund from failure of counties to claim their appro- priation.
 Both Engineer Keller and Assistant En- gineer Boyd are using their efforts to in- terest every county ia the state that has not made application for their share Of the appropriation to do so before January l, and 1t is expected. that the majority of these counties will take advantage of .the state's offer before that time.
 Road construction work is now in prog ress in majority of the counties of the state and Che highway department is kept busy visiting the various sections of Alabama for the purpose of inspecting these roads.
 Contracts are being let from time to time in various counties, while in others plans are being made to advertise for bids at the earliest possible moment.
 In the rooms of the highway depart- ment at the capitol various models of miniature roads are on exhibition, and MT. Keller and his assistants are prepar- ing for the installation of other exhibits which will bs of interest to all persons wishing to construct public highways.

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, Ala August IT, 1912-7 p. m. l--Rains occurred during the past twenty-four hours over much of the mid dle Rocky mountain states, the upper Missouri valley, the lakes and Ohio val ley. as well as in a small portion of the east gulf region and the middle Atlantic states. These rains were caused by general decrease of the barometer pres sure in the interior of the country and the resulting easterly and southerly wind circulation from the great water areas. The continued warm southerly winds and the generally clear skies that pre- vailed over the plains and western gulf region during the past several hours has caused a. warning to be put up in those sections. In the upper Mississippi valley and the southern lake stations rapid temperature rise was noted, due to a sim liar cause. It was relatively cool in the region of rainfall in the southeast. A fall of to 10 degrees occurred in South Alabama and North Georgia.
 Local showers will occur in Alabama Sunday. but the weather will be fair over the greater part of the state. Tempera- lures will rise.

T AM IN THE FIGHT ID HE FINISH, :" SAYS GOVERNOR O'NEAL Will See to It That Recent Tax Raises in Jeffer-
 son Stand
WILL STUMP THE COUNTY IF NECESSARY
Considers Attitude of Committee in Creating Adverse Sentiment to Work of Tax Commission
 as Contempt of Court

Montgomery August Especially q am in the fight to the finish,' said Governor O'Neal today in referring to the work of the Chamber of Commerce committee and other business interests in Birmingham in resisting the raises made by the state tax commission in Jefferson county. The governor did not qualify his statement. He admitted that there is fight in Jefferson county to defeat the work of the states taxing authorities and he declared that he Is determined to resist such an effort with every power placed in his hands as the chief executive of Alabama, as- serting that if necessary he will take the stump in Jefferson county in or der to place the proposition clearly before the people.
 Governor O'Neal further declared that he considered the attitude of the committee of the Birmingham Cham Der of Commerce in creating an ad- verse sentiment to the work of the tax commission on the eve of litigation to test the states rights in the matter of making assessments as contempt of court, particularly as the cases will be heard by a jury composed of Jef- ferson county voters.
 Owing to the strenuous fight which has been made in Jefferson county in opposition to the raises made by the state tax commission Governor O'Neal believes that the state would have the right to demand that the tax assess ment cases be tried in another county, intimating that it would be difficult for a fair and impartial trial to be had in Jefferson county.
 The trial judge will have the right to grant a change of venue" said Gov ernor O'Neal, and under the circum- stances I believe it might be wise to ask that the trial take place in am other county"

Hat in the Ring

In other words, the governor has tossed his hat into the ring, and, from all indications, his coat is likely to follow He has declared that he is in the fight to the finish and that if neces- sary he will stump the state Tn order that he may make a clear exposition of the questions at issue.
 q have promised the national dem ocratic campaign committee that l will of tho northern states in behalf of Gov. Woodrow Wilson, but. if neces sary I will cancel those engagements and devote my entire time to my own state" said Governor O'Neal. Alabama has the first claim upon me and I shall not hesitate to travel from one end of the state to the other in order to strengthen the work of the tax com mission. The matoriy of he propery owners of the state are behind me in the fight l am making in Jefferson county and their attention is now turned to that rich and populous coun- ty.. The question at issue is whether a few rich corporate interests of that county shall set aside the assessments made by the tax commission or wheth CT the state shall assert it's rights and compel those interests to respect and abide by it's laws
 The governor is in a fighting mood, and, when he believes he is right, he knows neither friend nor foe. He be- lleves he is right in the stand he has taken in Jefferson county and he has taken up the gauntlet thrown down be- fore him. In other words, he Is go ing to fight and he Is going to fight with all the vigor and determination conferred upon him by his Irish an- cestors.
