GOOD OLD DAYS
THAT ARE NO MORE

Decatur August Especial. THE
last mark of Decatur's village days
was removed today, when large white
down to make room for the building of
a modern brick store and office build =
ing, which is being built at the cor
ner of Bank and Church streets by
Olshine brothers.
In days before the civil war and
for several years after the war, when
Decatur was hut small village, there
were number of these trees on Bank
street, which is now the leading busi-
ness street of the city, and the shade
trees have all been displaced now for
the posts of Decatur's great white way.
During the village days of Decatur
these mulberry trees were considered y
valuable asset. Under these trees the
merchants used to play checkers and
fight chickens and lovers from the
country would ofttimes congregate
under their spreading branches and
eat striped sticks of peppermint candy
and COOLERS, and tell each other their
stories of love Bank street in those
days was not even graded, but was
hilly and rough and not nearly as good
as the country roads of today.
Those were good and prosperous days
so the old citizens say. But those days
are gone forever. The cutting of the
old mulberry tree today, removed the
last mark of those good old days, and
the generations to come will never
know of the stories of love told un-
der the broad spreading branches of
the trees that once stood where De-
catur's shopping district now is

DUDE ARCHDALE
SETS WORLDS MARK
FOR THREE HEATS
Memphis Man Drives Horse
to VictOry-MargOt Hal
Wins Again

Detroit. August 15-A worlds record
for three heats in a trotting race was
established today at the close of the grand
circuit meet at the state fair track, when
F. G. Jones of Memphis drove Dude
Archdale to victory in the free-for-all
with Anvil, Geers UP, contesting every
inch of the way. The time for the three
heats was 2:0414; 2:04A; 2:O41S Anvil win
ming the first heat and Dude Archdae
the next two.
The former record was made in Syra-
euse, five years ago when Billy Burk
defeated Spanish Queen. in 2:0414 2:o4A ;
2.04%, Spanish Queen winning the first
heat.
Margot Hal. winner of the Board of
Commerce stake on the opening day, cap
tured the 2:15 pace this afternoon and
Lillian Arnold won the PIP trot.
There was the keenest rivalry between
Geers and Jones in the free-for-all. Jones
owns both Anvil and Dude Archdale and
friends of the two drivers had engaged in
a week long controversy as to which
would land the prize. Jones sent the
Archdale mare away in front in each
heat and in the last two kept In that
position all the way around. Both Anvil
and Dude Archdale acted beautifully.
There was never the suspicion of a skip.
In winning the 212 trot with Lillian
Arnold, Geers repeated his performance
of M, & M. day He held the mare in
reserve, carefully feeling out the field
in the first two heats. which Alta Coast
won hard driven. Pop" made his Did
in the next heat, coming from behind in
the last sixteenth and nosing out a VIC
tory. The fourth and fifth rounds were
almost duplicates of the third.
Mcdonald had little trouble landing
Margot Hal in front in three straight
heats in the 2:15 pace, although Auto Som
brero in the round and Zanzibar in the
next two were right up all the time In
the third heat of this event. Bay Sure
ran into Sombrero's sulky when passing
the half mile post and Spencer was
thrown to the ground He stopped his
horse, however, and being uninjured fin
ished the mile.

and the moving of ore cars stopped with
out any explanations.
Now, it is believed that the ore COM
pany wished to acquire more lands, and
with this in view, thought best to cease
operations until they could accomplish
the corraling of territory most suitable for
ore mining purposes
The narrow guage railroad has been
completed In first class only to the pres
ent holdings of the iron ore company,
and 1t is evident to an observer of differ
ent interests that greater expectations ex-
listed on the part of the promoters than
has been realized so far, and that now to
penetrate the ore veins further east is
simply necessary in order to perfect a
bigger and more profitable enterprise.
There is no doubt as to this section 5
possibilities as to ore production For
several years the business has been con-
Quoted in rather a small way, but now in
dications are that the hidden wealth se-
creted in the hills here will be developed,
and the visit of these Birmingham mon
eyed men has caused a stimulating ef-
feet to cease or strengthen the men here
who control these undeveloped lands

BLACKMON ON ALERT
City Jail at Admission to Be Remodeled
at Cost of $6OOO-Boosters Re-
ceive Fund to Guarantee An
niston's Appian Way

Admission, August Especial 1.-THE
report of Major Hutton, who was the
chief medical officer in camp daring the
encampment of the southern states militia
men here last year, refutes the allegation
attributed TO officers of the Fourth Ala
bama regiment to the effect that the An
niston camp site is insanitarS, said l.. c.
Watson, secretary of the Admission Cham
Der of Commerce. in referring to the re-
port given credence by a Birmingham aft
ernoon paper recently.
Major Hutton was profuse in his praise
of, Admission as a healht resort, and the
plain figures from both Camp Shipp in
1898 and from the health record last sum-
mer are enough to convince any man of
Anniston's excellent advantages in this re-
spect."
Nothing further will be done in regard
to the location of the permanent ma
neuver grounds here until the next regular
session of Congress. Congressman Fred
L. Blackmon is watching every action
on the part of Anniston's opponents, how
ever, and will be ready to push this
clty's claims when the proper time comes.
lie was ABLY dSSlSleu III llllS Dy foeilteoi
j. F. Johnston last summer.
owing to the fact that the Calhoun
county commissioners object to the per-
manent housing of Annistons city pris-
oners in the county jail, and to the expen-
siveness of this alternative, Mayor j. L.
Wikle is now having plans and specihca-
tions drawn with a view of remodeling the
city prison along lines suggested by DR..
w. H. Oates, state mill and prison in
spector, who recently condemned the An
niston jail.
Plenty of air, plenty of room and ample
sanitation; separate cells on different
floors for men and women prisoners, show
er baths, cells built away from the walls,
large windows for light and sunshine
are among the things upon which DR..
Oates insists. The improvements contem-
plated will cost about $1,000.
The committee appointed by the Admission
Boster club at the instance of Mayor j.
L. Wikle to solicit subscriptions from the
business men of the city to guarantee An
niston's Appian Way, or model highway
from the north to the south limits of the
city, by the construction of a modern ce-
ment bridge are being well received by
the citizens, and several hundred dollars
have been subscribed to the project.
This undertaking was assumed IN con-
nection with the celebration of good roads
DAYS in Admission.
Mayor J. l.. Wikle and President II. IL.
Turner of the Chamber of Commerce are
giving attention to the proposed visit to
Admission on next Tuesday of r. L. Fer
guson of the department of agriculture
at Washington, who is seeking to locate
a transcontinental automobile highway
through the south. He will be met and
entertained while in this city by autoists
and prominent business men.

The suit for which the judgment was.
given grew out of the failure of the
knight-Aancy Cotton company of peeaT.
tur. few years ago for over S6.o0oo7
1t was alleged on the trial Of the case
that the National Park bank Of New York
had cashed Knight-Yancy's drafts on the

bills of lading, which bills of lading were
afterwards proven to be spurious
At the time this case was tried there
