An effort is being made by the Alabama Good Roads asso- citation to have every county in the state to beeome-,interested in the greatest and most economic road machine. the split log drag. do 1t will become an indispensable adjunct in keeping the water out of the roads.
 ''The need of effectual repair and main- tenance of our highways is now being demanded by the people. We recognize that the most economic system for better
 methods and more certain results Is
 wanted.
 ..The purpose of the Alabama Good
 Roads association is to educate the people
 of Alabama how to have good dirt roads
 so the citizens will appreciate the fact
 they own the roads and become interested
 in them. We beg to call attention as
 how water mixed with soil produces mud.
 This can be economically prevented and
 the roads made good by the regular use of the most simple and economic road ma- chine ever invented. the split log drag, which If regularly used after rains will keep the dirt roads of Alabama in first
 class condition. When the roads are prop erly drained and constructed the same good results can De had in every county as in Marengo and Demopolis The peo- pie of Marengo county have taken the black, impossible dirt roads that could not be traversed in the winter and by the use of the drag have made them first class roads that are travelled the year round.
 No method of maintenance for roads can be done as economic or as easy as the regular utilization of the split log drag after rains.

The Work of a Lifetime

The industrial and commercial condi- tions which identify Germany at this time represent much of the life work of Elm percr William. In this city the Emperor is regarded by those who should know as by long odds the ablest monarch in Europe or perhaps anywhere in the world and it has been frequently said of him that he possesses to high degree the distinguishing quality of business states manshil which is the ability to look far into the future.
 Therefore, it is assumed by MT. Wander
 ir and by others that Emperor William fully realizes how grave the danger to the industrial and commercial eminence, almost pre-eminence, of Germany, of the outbreak of continen. encompa ssing war would be. It would put Germany back to the roist which identified her position as
 1t was 29 years ago. It would gracely inn peril her prestige in many of her foreign markets 't least for a time. It would seriously disturb German industries and it would involve some very grave .finan- cial considerations. It is assumed. there fore. that the Emperor will feel himself bound 10 maintain, up to a certain point the pledges which he has made to Austria or alliance. but he will not feed bound to niaintt.ln those pledges if the crisis should go farther than the boundaries which separate Austro- Hungary from Servia.

The Gold Movement

Mr Vanderlip speaks with some gratiti-
 cation of the fact that the United States
 has been able to meet easily the lnprece-
 dented demand of London and of Paris for
 gold. Cautius as he usually is he does
 not hesitate to say that we can supply
 another GOO of gold should France
 and Germany call for it.
 Yet there begins to be discussion in the financial district centered upon the pre-
 sumptive moment when the automatic
 action of the money market may prevent further exportatons. For it is incon- ceivable in the view of the leaders in finance that continue to export gold in large amounts without there coming at last a considerable hardening of rates in the money market and possibly actual stringency. When this day does come, then the doors will be closed against fur ther exportation of gold. It is spoken of as a rather curious coincidence that just as the new national banking law is to be put into operation there should have come this unprecedented demand for gold accompanied with ease in meeting the demand. Some of those who have criti- cized one or another of the features of the new national banking law have said that 1t might work as to make very easy the pumping of gold out of the United States by Great Britain and some of the ma tions upon the European continent. Whether this will be an effect of the law or not is a mooted question. But just before there is perfect organization under the new national banking law France and Great Britain seem to be taking, and without any resistance on our part, an un- precedented amount of gold within F
 months time. If this had happened after
 the new banking law was in full opera
 ton criticism would surely have been heard
