BIG CONTRACT AWARDED Birmingham Will Furnish Material for Paved Highway Construction

John w. Sbley, secretary of the South ern Paving Brick Manufacturers asso- citation, returned yesterday from Florida. He states that contract for AS miles of paved highway has been awarded by the officials of Volusia county, which in- c'udes the cities of DeLand and Daytona. The paving material will be vitrified brick and the cost will approach half a million dollars. He states that a large part of the paving material will be fur nished from the Birmingham district MT. Sbley stated that over 100 miles of paved highway was constructed last year in Florida and that it proved one of the best investments of the state, as hundreds of automobile tourists were attracted by the good roads of that state, with the result that thousands of dollars of revenue was derived by it's business interests.
 MT. Sibley has been invited to address the Chamber of Commerce at Greenville, Miss, on next Friday on the subject of paved highways, as the county officials there are contemplating the expenditure of s1,OO0,O00 in paved highway construc- ton.

MARTIN IS RESPITED

Montgomery, March 29.-(Specla.) Governor Henderson today granted third respite to Sam Martin, Jefferson county negro who is condemned to die for the murder of James Little. The third respite is for H days, and was granted in that the governor may nave additional time to examine the records in the case.
 The respite today was granted on in- formation furnished by Coroner C. L. Spain of Jefferson county. Coroner spain told the governor that a post mortem ex- animation of Little, conducted after the body had been exhumed had revealed the fact that the bullet which had killed Little did not correspond in calibre with the bullet which is supposed to nave been fired from Martins pistol
 The governor has had Martins case under investigation for several weeks, and the findings of Coroner spain Will doubtless lead to an even more serious investigation than has yet been con- ducted.
