BILLS APPROVED
BY THE GOVERNOR
Johnston Tells Incident to
Illustrate Practise When
He Was Governor

In reference to the present scandal Of
the state convict department, Senator
Joseph F. Johnston stated yesterday that
when he was governor no bill was paid
by the treasurer on requisition of that de-
partment which did not bear the approx
al of the governor.
I remember" stated the senator 'that
Mr.. Trap, who was president of the
board during my lncumbency as governor.
came to my office one morning asking
that / approve a requisition for two tin
dippers
Il asked Mr.. Trapp If the negroes on
the farm had become so. aesthetic that
they could no longer drink from the
gourds which were growing In profusion
all around the premises.
''ttNo, he replied, it is not case of the
negroes wanting the dippers from which
to drink. But we are making molasses.
and need the dppers for the purpose OF
skimming the foam which rises from the
boiling Juice
II then informed Mr.. Trapp that I could
not approve the requisition because in my
opinion the work of skimming could be
accomplished as well with a gourd as a
tin dipper. He left somewhat irritated
and under the impression that l was
straining at gnat.
1.-THE bill would have amounted only
to 90 cents and, of course, I might have
approved 1t without any qualms Of con-
science. But I felt that the 90 cents was
the money of the people, which money
should not be thrown away even in little
dribblets.''

FORMAL OFFER TO
. COMMISSION TODAY
Will Urge Purchase of East
Lake Park by the
City

On account of being in court yesterday
T. H. Motion. who is handling the East
Lake park offer to the city, did not make
any formal proposal yesterday. He viii
submit it to the commission at the meet
ing this Afternoon. The price has not been
announced. Guesses have been made
from time to time, the minimum figure
being $4,000 for the 60 acres. However,
as stated by Mr.. Motion and others, the
price as spectators have it Is d trading
basis, and it is confidently believed a
suitable price can be reached.
In connection with the negotiations
President Exum said yesterday 1t was
follow to suppose that the city intended
to pay $4,000 for the property, as COM
pany in which he was interested sold it
to the present owners for $4,000 some time
ago. However, it is believed that the
members of the commission and the own
ers of the park property will get an
equitable trade beginning with $1,000 as
a trading basis.
A great deal of interest in the matter
is being manifested by citizens generally,
especially in view of the fact that the
boulevard is going to be built practically
to that park as a terminus.

Birmingham People

The troubles that seem to be settling
upon the military organizations of this
district is intensely regretted among bust
ness men and especially industrial lead
ers of this district. That the militia has
played heroic part in many instances
here and will play yet other parts of imr
rortance is generally understood. The
vogue of mastering companies out OF
service and depicting the military
strength of the district and state is caus-
ing considerable discussion. And it is
said to be probable that Governor ONenl
and Adjutant Scully will be requested to
confer with local people and others in
reference to the situation.
AS the local militia now stands it is
said to be in a terribly inefficient way,
while the reports have it that other
companies are to be mustered out soon
During storms and strikes in Birmingham
and this district the militamen have al
ways been ready to lend their strength
| and service to the commonwealth fol
meager compensation in order to preserve
the dignity of the law In many instances
the soldiers of this district have showr
| their worth and maintained peace whef
| without their presence no one could fore
/ cast what would have taken place.
