CITIZENS WISH
TO LOWER BRIDGE
THINK OVERHEAD STRUCTURE
OVER A. c. L. TOO STEEP
GRADE.

Nothing definite was accomplished
yesterday by the citizens who met the
lard OF supervisors of Chesterfield
county and Atlantic Coast Line rail-
way officials to consider the plan of
lowering new bridge being constructed
over the Belt Line tracks on the new
road.
The bridge which Is being built at
this point will be eighteen feet high
when completed. The citizens living
in its vicinity declare that the height
of the bridge will make the grade TOO
steep, and are now making efforts to
have it lowered three feet at least.
The matter was talked over, and
the officials from the Atlantic Coast
Line railway. which Is erecting the
bridge, decided to take the matter
under Amusement.

AUTO MEN PLAN A
 'CAPITAL HIGHWAY"
Scout Car Will Lay Out Route Between Several Southern
 Capital Cities

Local automobile men are manifesting an unusual interest in the trip of scout car which will start in a few days to lo- to Nashville and thence over several southern states into New Orleans.
 The trip will be made under the direes ton of the Touring club of America and concerns principally the roads from the Georgia point to Nashville. The scou. car, 1t is stated, will go through Chatta- nooga and thence to Nashville. After sc- curing data 1t is planned to stake off the best route between the cities and then start out on the capital highway scheme.
 The trip from Nashville to Atlanta will be made in April. From that point the cars will come to Birmingham, thence to Montgomery, thence to Mobile and into New Orleans. In that route the capitals of Tennessee, Georgia. Alabama and Bouisi- ana will be visited. The trip from At lanta to Birmingham will be made, it is said, during the early part of the month.
 The betterment of good roads is the primary consideration of the scheme sec- ond to which is to show speed and endur- ance qualities of various kinds of auto mobiles. It is stated that the scout car which starts out next week on the pre- liminary run, will be a Thomas 6-4, and that several Thomas cars will be entered in the April event.
 The trip in April will definitely settle, it Is believed. what road is the best way to Atlanta from Birmingham As generally known there are two or three routes that might well be taken to that city but the trip in April will settle which Is the most desirable.

Cullman. January 12.-(Special)-Th adage that Its an ill wind that blows nobody gooA," will possibly come true in. Cullman county during the year 1912. For the past six weeks Cullman has been n the throes of the worst spell of weather that has been felt here in many years. During this time there has been very few sunshiny days seen, and while this has been very detrimental 10 the business in terests of the town and county in meas ure. yet, the strawberry growers are en- thusiastic over the otuoolS for the largest crop of berries ever produced in the county.
 Henry M. Vanderputte, who is man ager of the German-American Truckers association of this place, and who Is au- thority on the culture of strawberries, no- tatoes and other truck farming, said: we are looking forward to the coming crop as being the largest seen in Gull man in many years. We have reasons to believe that such will be the case. While other people and other businesses are Respondent over the long seige of inc element weather which we have had for the past six or seven weeks, the straw berry growers of this and other counties have reasons to be glad"
 MT. Vanderputtee is guaranteeing to the growers who have signed to ship with his association sf.75 per crate for their berries. The crop may possibly average more than that, but Mir. Vanderputtee is making this guarantee as a special in- ducement to the shippers. and already he has a largo number of shippers who have signed up for their crops this year.

GOODWIN DECLARES
 CHARGES ABSURD
Few Papers Stated Commit tee Would Call Meeting
 to Name Candidates

 Montgomery, January 12.-tSpecial.) Chairman Tyler Goodwin Of the state democratic committee said this even ing that the charge. made by a few newspapers who do not take kindly to the idea of giving Underwood the sole Alabama support, to the effect that the state committee would next time call a convention to nominate candidates Is so palpably groundless as to be ab- surd.
 "The democrats of Alabama want prl- maries for the nomination of candi- dates said Chairman Goodwin, "and the two or three newspapers indulglng in that kind of fol-de-rol are simply shooting at a man of straw evolved entirely from their own fancies.
 "The primary is a fixed system in Alabama and no democratic state eom- mittee or convention will ever change that system until a majority of Ala bama democrats demand it, and they will not demand it until better reasons are offered than have up to this time been urged for a change.
 Those editors are good fellows. in- deed, but with their imaginations they ought to stop writing those kind of syl- labub editorials and go into the poet business for keeps"

DR. OATES ISSUES
 JAIL ULT|MATUM Declares Jefferson County
 Must Act Soon
HIS RECOMMENDATION
New Structure Should Be Erected at Cost of Half Million Dollars. Order Prisoners Removed
 Unless Authorities Act

Dr. w. H. Oates. state prison inspector, has issued an ultimatum that a new jail must be erected in Jefferson county with In the next few months or he will recom- mend the removal of the prisoners con- fined in the present bastile of the county to some other more suitable place. pr. Oates was in conference with the Board of Revenue and Sheriff McAdory yester- day morning and went fully into the situ- ation. In company with the officials and Architect Harry c. Wheelock he visited the jail and thoroughly inspected every department.
 While he complimented the officials on the manner in which the present jail is kept and the general treatment of the 2ls prisoners confined therein he condemned the present structure as being entirely unfit for the detention of prisoners He stated 1t was entirely too small for the number of prisoners now confined, ana that the crowding together of so many men and women was a menace to the health of them all
 His conference with the officials was friendly and he had no fault to find with the manner m Wnlch the county is caring for those who are confined in the pres- ent jail, but he let 1t be known in no un- certain terms that larger and more com modious quarters must be provided. He gave it as his opinion that building that would cost half million dollars would be necessary for the future needs of the county.
 pr. Oates ordered that a new ventlafor be purchased at once. and that the female negro prisoners be allowed the use of both the floors of the old jail. He made sev- eral other minor suggestions but on the whole was satisfied that the officials were doing the very best under existing cir cumstances
 It will be recalled that the jail of Jef- ferson county was condemned over year ago by the state authorities and a bond issue called by the Board of Revenue to erect new courthouse and jail was voted down.
 On account of the local campaign Dr. Oates will defer definite action until after the first of April but will keep n-1ouch with the situation and will insist that the new jail be built soon.
