OPEN NEW STREETS

Uniontown. August 4-(special)-The
new passenger and freight depot now
stands ready for occupancy and after a.
few little plans of acceptance are carried
out The place speaks well for Union
town. It is beautifully furnished in mod
ern style. The railroad will employ a
maid to care for the place and be on hand
all the time.
From information given out by Mayor
u. P. Coleman the town most likely will
gravel the street leading from the Pegram
residence to the new depot, a space of
three blocks. This is very essential to
the convenience of the new station and
will probably be one of the first steps
of Improvement to be made in the merit
month or so.
The railroad has agreed to deliver the
gravel for this purpose free of charge.
Another Improvement in the approach of
the station will be the opening up of sew
eral new streets to the east of the sta
tion. The street running in front of the
Presbyterian church will be extended with
q slight DETECTION to Gouldman hill; also
will the street passing the Uniontown cot
tOH OIL HILL De eNlenueu. FROM the new
station new street will be opened run
ming north to the Hamberry road, enter
ing it at the old Robertson residence. This
will permit the access of the new station
from several directions instead of one as
situated now.
The contractors state that the work on
the new highway will be completed this
week Large piles of gravel have been
placed along the route to keep up the road
and If this is properly used Uniontown
will have an ideal outlet all winter.
The Alabama Good Roads association,
which named and established August IA,
Is and 16 as good roads days, is making
every effort possible to see that these
days are observed. Enthusiasm is grow
ing, and it is believed that by August
IL that every county in the state will be
in line and that the people of Alabama
will turn out in great numbers and put
the public roads in splendid shape.
A committee was appointed in Union
town to carry out the governors proela-
nation IN regard to working the roads. It
contains the following members: d. p.
Coleman, G. D. Stollenwerck, w. j.
Warden, J. r. Brown, A. Cromer and r. L.
Adair. The first meeting was held on
August 2 in Whitfield's hall.

the Alabama commission from placing
the rate in effect, was in a suit insti-
tuted later than the one on which the
tennessee agreement was based, which
they stated, was decided in favor of the
railroads in the circuit court of the United
states and had not been appealed. At
the request of the roads they were grant
ed until August u for further hearing.
Chairman B. A. Enloe of the state rail-
road commission in a statement given
out recently, argued that any action
taken in Alabama was binding in Ten
nessee, under the original agreement, and
that the position of the railroads was
merely a technical evasion.

What | know said Mr. Brown,
was gathered from the extra editions
of New York newspapers Saturday aft
ernoon. In these extras it was stated
that Mr.. Wilson, while accompanying
two ladies to the Pennsylvania std-
tion. was touched for SIPS.
He raised an awful howl. The first
policeman to whom he told his trou-
bles. offered very little consolation.
The second into whose ear he poured
MS lament, WAS equally as unsa llS1ac-
tory. Therefore, Mr.. Wilson notified
the Pennsylvania railroad, and detec-
tiyes were instantly put on the case.
MIR. Wilson, from his statements in
the papers, was very sore and threat

inattention to duty of the policemen 20

Mr.. Brown remained in Birmingham
for several hours. and returned to
