sioner, adds to it the money raised at
different times by the various coun-
ties, and continues road work until
the next legislature creates a new
fund.
Still another plan that has been
presented by few who are opposed
to the bond issue is the annual levy
of a one mill tax for ten consecutive
years. This would bring into the road
fund one million dollars each year,
the same results would be accomplish

than half the expense would be en-

me only a few days ago that ne ex-
pected to stand side by side at the box
with a prominent minister, and when
he (the minister) voted, he was going
to vote too, and that would be one time
when he and the preacher would be
working side BY side for the same
cause. So we see, in this instance,
some of the preachers, some Of the
blind tigers and some Of the negroes
lining up side by side, unconsciously,
possibly, but surely voting to drag
whiskey back into Our politics.
PERSONALLY, I shall not vote. De-
cause l will be in Chicago, Ill, at the
time, attending a meeting of the great
council of the Improved Order of Red
Men. Neither personally nor politically
does it make particle of difference to
me whether the State goes prohibition
or anti-prohibition; it will have abso-
lutely no effect upon my candidacy, be-
cause l have a great. many strons
friends who are prohibitionists-in
fact. two of the leading newspapers
that are supporting me are edited By
lifelong prohibitionists and are fight
ing for it today. While, on the other
hand, l have equally as strong friends
who are not prohibtionists and are DO
ing what they can to sustain the pres
ent local option law, and the only rea-
son that l say it would be unfortunate
for the State to go for prohibition is
because it will again, as l have re-
peatedly said, drag whiskey back into
our politics, thereby side-tracking
more important and vital issues for
something which is today handled, and
which the people are satisfied with,
and truly l think this is a time, of all
times, when all of the people of the
State could say to themselves, Let
the sleeping dog Sleep and let's let
the whiskey issue stay where it is
safely resting upon that great princi-

by the principle of local self-govern-

and that if county wants the dispen-

mark the prediction-will you in few

this whiskey question, and the fight

you will find many people supporting

You will find one element fighting for

will find another fighting for total

stead of them Toting for prohibition
today-voting as they claim, to get
rid of the whiskey question and to
eliminate it from politics, they will be
voting to bring it back into our politics

The HONEYMOON HOUSE
. = . > IS
BY George Munson
"Of what use is my success now"
sighed Robert Loring, when Elsie
cannot enjoy it with~me?"
At thirty-tWo years Of age Loring
had suddenly become well known as
an architect. It was his work on the
Municipal building, subsidiary part
of which had unexpectedly fallen to
him to design, owing to the death of
the original architect, which had
brought him fame. And now he had
been commissioned to build half
million dollar house for John Meri-
vale, an elderly banker known as the
richest, most eccentric and most
End-hearted man in the state.
Loring had known Merivale slight
" when he was boy, but no doubt
the banker had long ago forgotten
him. He had had a hard life. Born
in luxury, he had been cast into pow
erty by the untimely death of his IA
theT. At twenty-five he had married
Elsie Fotheringan, reputed the pretti-
est girl in Baltimore society. Then
came the crash and years of bitter
poverty, eliminating in their separa-
ton. Elsie, had taken her maiden
name again, and for six years he had
not seen her.
Their quarrels had been due to his
poverty. Elsie, accustomed to every
luxury, could not understand living
on SIS a week. She had no idea Of
the struggles a young professional
man must undergo. She thought
Robert idle. And he had been too
proud to go to her when his income
began to mount, first to two thou
sand a year, thre to three thousand
now to eight thousand dollars!
He sighed, for he still loved Elsie,
and made his way down to old Merf-

Dr. George Eaves, secretary of the Jeff ferson County Anti-Tuberculosis associa tion, yesterday explained the law creat- ing state tuberculosis commission, which was passed by the recent legislature. The bm was passed by both houses at Mont gomery, says Dr. Eaves with practically no opposition.
 ''The new act" said Dr. Eaves, 'is en- titled. An act to prevent the spread of tu- berculoss by the creation of tubercuo- sis commission, to provide for It's organi- zation and work and to authorize the erection and maintenance of local hospi- tals under it's supervision
 County hospitals formed under this act will care for advanced cases of con sumption, collecting from each patient according to his ability. They must be separate from all poorhouses. and under the supervision of the state commission. The cost falls on the county or counties participating Existing general hospitals cannot receive tubercular patients. Many thousands of sufferers are in progressive condition and need shelter for their own sakes and for their friends They spread the infection.

PRAISE FAIRNESS
 OF AGE-HERALD

Charles K. Hall. secretary and treas urer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. has written a personal letter ing his appreciation of the fair and un- biased manner in which The Age-Herald printed the news of the recent conven- ton of railway employees held in Bir- mingham MT. Halls letter follows:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In addition to mailing you under this date letter of thanks over my sigma ture as representative of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, I desire to personally express to you my sincere thanks and appreciation for the interest The Age-Herald, under your very able management. has taken in giving us while in convention all that a newspaper has to give.
 I am sure there is nothing that would benefit society and humanity more than frank, open and above board" under standing between the employer and em- ploye, and there is no better medium by which this can be brought about thar the press, and newspaper which has for its purpose this mission, in my opinion should be placed upon the highest pedestal of glory and fame.
 Expeiience in long service as repre- sentative of my organization has taught me that where there is a plain under standing between the employer and em- ploye, each being willing to make req sonable compromises, and where there is cooperative spirit in practice. as there is on the part of the officials and em- ployes on the road on which I am em- ployed (the A. G. A. railroadD, not only the employer and employe. but the com munity also reaps the benefit.
 Thanking you for your unbiased and fair consideration, I am, yours very truly CHARLES K. HALL. Birmingham, September B, 1915.
