GADSDEN STREETS
 COATED WITH MUD
Campaign for Street -m- proyement Will Proba-
 bly, Be Started

Gadsden December S.-tSpecial-)- campaign for street improvement will in all probability be started in Gadsden this winter. With only one weeks rain the streets have been put in an almost impossible condition. Forest avenue, the principal thoroughfare of the city. with the exception of Broad street. and the principal residence street, Is covered with from five to six inches of mud. There are no street crossings. and pedestrians are compelled to drop off cars and to walk across the street in mud and water. Property holders refuse to consent to paying for Improvements in the Usual way and the city will probably have to take some drastic means to improve the streets and keep them in a passable condition.

IMPEACHMENT OF ARCHIBALD RECALLS SOME EFAMOUSCASES Senate Has Previously Sat Eight Times as Court
 of Impeachment JOHNSON'S CASE IS
 MOST INTERESTING Secretary of War Belknap Resigned to Protect Wife's Name When
 Impeachment Charges Were
 Preferred Against Him
 
By c. E. STEWART

Washington December S.--(Speeial)- The impeachment trial of Judge Archibald now being conducted in the Senate of the United States in which figures prom- nent Alabamian, who is chairman of the judiciary committee of the House, is the chief prosecutor in the Senate. naturally calls up the eight similar incidents in the history of the country when the Senate has sat as a court of impeachment.
 William Blount, a senator from Tennes- see, was the first man ever called before the bar of the Senate to answer impeach- ment charges. This was in 17ss. and Thomas Jefferson presided over the trial in the city of Philadelphia.
 While a senator of the United States. and in violation of the duties of his office and the obligation of treaty with a friendly power, he attempted to wrest the territory of Louisiana from Spain and turn 1t over to Great Britain. In these exploits Blount was accused of stirring up the Indians and of seducing from their duty.
 Blount refused to appear at the bar of the Senate, and set up that he was not subject to impeachment proceedings un- der the eighth amendment to the consti- tuition. The Senate voted, on January 14 17ss. and upheld Blounts contention.
 John Pickering, a judge of the New Hampshire court, was convicted in 1S04 for partiality in a case ieffeeting the steamship Eliza. He was further charged of being a man of loose morals and in- temperate habits, and of being intoxicated while being on the bench, ito the evil example of all good citizens" The vote was 20 to 6, and he was removed from the bench.
 Justice Samuel Chase Called
 Samuel Chase, an associate justice Of the supreme court of the United States was next called before the Senate in November, 1894, but on March 1, 1895, was acquitted. He was charged with having conducted the trial of John Frier in highly arbitrary, oppressive and unjust manner. He was charged with having made "an incorporate and infammatory political harangue' in Baltimore with the intent to arouse the fears and resentment of the people against their state govern ment and constitution. He was acquitted of all charges. s
 James H. Peck, United States district court judge from Missouri was acquitted in January, 1881, of charges involving high crimes and misdemeanors. Follow land suit. he was attacked in news

.GLUT Of GOODS
ON THE WHARvES

At the meeting of the harbor COM
missioners that was held yesterday
afternoon, there was a general dis
cussion about the congested state of
the wharves at times, and the best
possible means that might be adopted
to relieve the condition.
The fact that orders for merchan-
disc generally arrive from the other
islands on Saturdays, and that the
request is made to ship by return
steamer" is said to be the cause of
lot of trouble.
E. D. Tenney and E. E. Paxton, who
were present at the meeting, said that
the difficulty is a hard one to solve.
The former said that he could not
see how it could be overcome unless
by large increase in wharves.
w. H. McInerny suggested that a
change in the sailing dates of some
of the steamers might overcome the
trouble. He suggested that the Mauna
Kea might sail at o'clock on We'd
nesday morning, and that no freight
for her should be received after five
o'clock in the afternoon of the day
previous
Colonel Mccarthy suggested that
the Hackfeld wharf be turned over to
the Inter-Island company for the use
of it's tramp steamers. President Ken
nedy of the Inter-Tsland thought that
the use of the long covered wharf
might help out.

since the inspectors have adopted the
policy of taking a delinquent's boat,
tying it up at the custom house and
keeping a seal on it until the owner
produces the required equipment the
fisher folk have become more than
alert. Over at channel wharf one may
hear the tinkling of many bells and
the experimental footing of fog horns
all day long, bright new lights and
all sorts of marvellous devices for ex-
tinguishtng gasoline adorn the docks,
and the sampan owners are anxiously

tors to learn if there is anything they
have overlooked, The marvel of it
all lies in their intelligent comprehen-
sion of the regulations within the last

RECORD EXPORTS
OF MANUFACTURES

Manufactures exported in February,
1912, exceeded in value those OF any
earlier February, and the total for the
eight months ending with February
was also greater than in any CORE
spending eight months of preceding
years. The total value of manufac-
lures exported in February was eigh-
ty-two and a half million dollars,
against seventy-two million in Febru-
airy, 1911, sixty-two millions in Feb
ruary, 1910, and fifty millions in Feb
ruary, 1909. For the eight months
ending with February the total was
$50 millions, against ST. millions for
the corresponding months of 1911,
4911s millions for the same months of
1910, and 42O millions in the CORE
spending months of 1909. Should the
rate of increase over last years fig
ures reached by the eight months end
ing with February continue during the
remaining four months Of the fiscal
year. the total value of manufactures
exported in the year ending June 80,
1912, would exceed one billion dollars.
The total value of manufactures ex-
ported for the year ending June 80,
1911, was 907 million dollars, and as
the gain in the eight months thus far
recorded amounts to sixty weight mil
lion dollars, it seems probable that the
gain for the complete fiscal year will
be fully 100 million dollars, bringing
the total value of manufactures ex-
ported to foreign countries for the
first time above-the billion dollar line.
A total of more than one billion dol
