BUILD MODERN ROAD
 VIA HORSESHOE BEND.
TallapOOsa Preparing to Construct Highway to
 Dadeville

Montgomery, March 31.-(Special.)-Tal- lapoosa county is preparing to construct a modern highway from East Tallassee to Dadeville, the county seat, by way or the famous Horseshoe Bend battle-ground. Announcement to this effect was made today by W. s. Keller, state highway en- gineer, after talk with Probate Judge G. J. Sorrell of Tallapoosa county.
 A small part of this road has already been built out of Dadeville. but steps will be taken to continue the highway on to East Tallassee before the summer be- gins. It is contemplated that practically the entire road will be constructed before the celebration is held on Horseshoe Bend battle-ground on July in commemoration of the Tooth anniversary of the battle One of the features of this celebration will be the unveiling of a monument on the famous battle-ground.
 When the road is completed between East Tallassee and Dadeville a splendid highway will then be in operation from Montgomery all the way to Horseshoe Bend battle-ground. The road between Montgomery and Wetumpka is one of the best in the state, and the road from We tumpka to East Tallassee, while not as good as the first is said to allow com fortable travel in automobiles and other vehicles.
 | MT. Keller will go to Dadeville tomor- row to confer with Judge Sorrell in ref erence to the Dadeville-Tallassee road, and will advise with him as to the va rious details to be considered in the con struction of the highway Some of the money to be used in the building of the road will be appropriated by the state, though the county will furnish the greater part.

4 ,misapprehension apparently existing as to the effect of the adoption of a lQcal rate of passenger fare of 21a cents Ter mile the lines of the Louisville end Nashville railroad In the states of Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky upon the use of penny scrip books, it should be understood that with April in Ala hama, and co-incident with the effective date of the new passenger rates in the other states. the penny scrip book, which contains 2500 1-cent coupons and is sold at SEQ. or a reduction of 20 per cent. will he accepted in payment for tickets at the new fares thus producing net rate to the holder of these books of cents per rnile wherever the local fare is made upon the basis of 21a ceAts per mile.
 ln a similar manner the scrip book will secure a net rate of 2la cents per mile cn interstate journeys when the inter- state passenger fares have been adjusted to the basis of the new state fares, which will be as soon as the interstate tariffs can be compiled.
 These books are interchangeable be- tween all railroads east Of the Missis sippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and secure the same percentage of reduction. with but few exceptions. throughout the entire territory.
