.CUL[MAN ROADS
 NEED IMPROVING May Issue $40O,OO0 of Bonds
 in Two Installments
FIRE AT COURTHOUSE
Damage Fully Covered by Insurance. Jury Term of Cullman County Court Convened Yesterday.
 To Be Important Term

Cullman. January 15.-(Special)-The fact that only little more than $2ooO0O worth of bonds may be issued in this county for road improvement has served to throw a damper on the movement in a measure. The fact. also, that there is no Jaw providing for a special commission to be elected to see to the disbursement of the funds is also having it's weight in a detrimental way. By this it is not in- tended to be a reflection upon the in tegrity Of the present board of county commissioners, but it seems to be a pop ular demand among the people that those entrusted with disr osition of the funds accrued from the sale of county bonds to be placed under bond in a surety com pany. If there is not some way to get around the law in these matters it Is be- lieved by some that the bond issue may again he defeated.
 The Good Roads association hope to be able to~overeome obstacle of the small amount of bonds which can be sold at this time by reissuance of an ad- ,ditional $2U0,000 worth after the first has been spent on the roads. therefore, mak- ing the Sl00,000 as was originally intended to do.
 For the past seven weeks the roads in this county have been almost impossible. and even the carriers on the nine different rural routes out of Cullman have found great deal of trouble in delivering the mails over the roads in this county.
 
 Sunday night about 12 o'clock the county courthouse at thls place was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was turned in by Harry Parker, who was the first one to discover the flames, and before the firemen could reach the scene the fire had made considerable headway. It seems that the fire originated under the stair steps leading to the second story of the building into the main court room. There was some papers, a barrel of oil and other stuff unaer the stairway, and it is presumed that the fire originated among these
 Quite a little damage was done to the floor and walls, also the stair steps was burned until it Was found necessary to erect new set. Some injury was done 10 the books of some of the county of ficials hy water The damage is fully covered by insurance and work of re- pairing was started this morning

Increasing frequency of deaths by
poison compels the conclusion that 1t
would be better for the community II
deadly drugs were less easily OBJ
tanned. Nearly every days news car
ries its story of murder or suicide by
poison. In many cases the crimes are
made possible by the sale of drugs
that under no circumstances should
be sold indiscriminately. Evidence in
these cases almost invariably shows
that the criminals purchased the
death potion with the same ease and
lack OF restriction that would attend
the sale Of bar of soap, says the
Chicago Journal. More rigid regula-
ton of the sale of deadly poisons
might not put stop to these crimes.
but 1t certainly would make them
more difficult. At the least legis-
latures would do well to prohibit the
sale of sudden death in the shape OF
cyanide Of potassium, and other
similar drugs. except to physicians and
those who are known to have a legiti-
mate use for them.

Making Hades Easy.

Strange wishes are sometimes ex.
pressed by those at the point Of death
to ease their last moments, but few
probably have been more strange than
that Of the son of Erin Of whom the
Rev. DR.. Floyd w. Tomkins told short
time ago in an afternoon speech:
pat O'Shaunessy had been told by
the doctor that he could live but few
hours" said DR.. Tomkins, "and his
wife and assembled relatives and
friends asked him whether there was
one last wish he would like to have
gratifed before he died?" There
is,' said Pat I'd like to hear
the village band play once again.
Accordingly the village band gath
cred before Pats house and discours-
ed airs for several hours. When at
last It had played, Say Au Revoir,
but Not Goodby,' and had taken its
own departure, Mrs, O'Shaunessy,
kneeling at her husbands bedside,
asked Can ye die aisy, Pat?' Yes re-
piled Pat. 4 can die aisy now. Hades
has nothing worse than that .'-Balti

A WOMAN
SCORNED
By LESLIE DAVIS

Really, now, you must be serious
and help me with this affair. I'm
positively worn out with it all" Mar
tina Gardner's voice carried a wistful
note, although she laughed as she
spoke. Its been going on all sum-
mer and I'm at my wits end"
"Then begin at the beginning, Mar
tha," suggested her cousin, Reba King.
We've had only scraps of informa-
ton so far to work on"
VERY well, but l warn you that it's
tragedy : met him in June at the
Smiths dinner party. He sat beside
me and we got along beautifully to-

"Omt the modest depreciations.

Nonsense! Well, he asked to call.
and came, and then affairs went with
IL
for lovely rides in his little car, and
brought books and we had such nice
comfortable evenings reading them.
For miracle, Aunt Ada liked him.
I think she really missed him when he
stopped coming
"He stopped coming? Why?"
'T don't know why Didn't I tell
you it was a tragedy?"
you mean to say that he just stop
ped without any reason or explana-
tion or anything?"
Exactly. The last time I spoke to
him was at Mrs. Billiards. party. We
had several dances together, then I
saw him talking to Jerome Holden in
the hall, and after that he left. l de-
test Jerome, but he has persisted in
hanging around for the last year in
spite of dreadful snubbings. Some

the doctor hasn't been near me for
ten weeks. Reba King, stop giggling!
l won't stand it,"
"Oh It's too funny" Reba laughed.
"To think of Martha Gardner In the
role of woman scorned. After the
dance you've always led and the dam
aged hearts lying In your wake, call
1t just retribution!"
Its mean to laugh" objected May,
soberly. Did you say that he was a
doctor, Martha? Is he a good man,
and all that?"
"Dr. Paul Jeffries is as good as
gold" Martha's head went up with
proud little air. Everybody speaks
well of him. And he has worked hard
and has quite a practice. oh, there
he is, passing now! Look! Look!"
All three rushed to the window and
peeped from behind the curtain at the
automobile darting past.
ITS dear little car" whispered
Reba.
"He has a nice face" commented
May. I'D do something, Martha, I
wouldn't let it go on this way"
"Yes. but what?'
"a few centuries ago." declared
Reba, you would have sent him a
bottle Of poisoned wine, taken dose
yourself and ended the affair in that
neat way. What a pity that common
sense has taken such hold of mod
ern life! 1t drives out romance com
pletely"
"The common sense thing to do"
suggested May, "is to write note and
ask him what the matter is"
Il won't do that II never find out!
I've a little pride left, hope"
Then persuade Aunt Ada to have
neuralgia attack and send for him
professionally"
He knows she would never have
any one but old Or. Benjamin"
"Give the cook a deadly dose and
vow she made you call him"
"He might not get here, and I'm
not used to deadly doses; she's too
good cook to sacrifice"
III we were going to be in town a
while, instead of Just passing through
and lmching with you, I'd plan n
campaign of some sort" mused Reba.
"Oh. dear. it's time to start now, II
we are going to make that $3.50 train"
"Of course, this Is in the strictest
confidence" warned Martha, ms they
