WEST END REVIVAL
 . CLOSED LAST NIGHT
Meeting Pronounced Splen- did Success and Created
 Widespread Interest

The West End union revival, which has been in progress for more than two weeks, closed last night with a strong sermon by the Rev. J. M. Bass, evan- gelist, of Macon, Ga The service last night was one of the largest attended of the series
 During the meeting more than 400 &C., sessions to the five West End churches were made, 27O of which have already been received into the church, while the others are on the waiting list.
 The revival has been a splendid suc- cess, and the Rev. MT. Bass and his two assistants, Erie Stapleton of Bir- mingham, singer, and Tom Waller of Macon, pianist, have won many friends while in Birmingham. They will leave for Childress, Tex, on an early train this morning, where they will conduct a revival.
 The meeting has not only been a spirit ual success, but it was a financial sue cess for the West End Church federation, which financed the meeting, and under whose auspices it was conducted. The total incidental expense of the meeting including cost of the tabernacle amounted to $S50. This was paid from the evening offerings and there is a surplus in the treasury, besides the tabernacle, which is to remain on the same grounds for use in the future.
 On agreeing to come to West End, Dr. Bass would accept no salary or pay other than the collection for one meeting, railroad fare and board for himself and two assistants. This collection was taken last Sunday night and totaled approx imately $850.
 The sermon of Dr. Bass last night will be remembered as one of the most i'm pressive of the series He preached on 'Tithing,' using as his subject, Will . Man Rob God?"

Der 1s, and suppose bond of s2OOO will not stop their plans However I am mighty glad the injunction was dissolved anyhow"
 George H. Clark the county engineer, who was charged with gigantic fraud" in connection with the Nichols Fishtrap road project, when informed last night that Judge Smith had dissolved Judge Crows temporary injunction, said:
 q have nothing to say on the mat ter, as I do not believe that Judicial decisions should be commented on"
 Mr. Clark, however, indicated that from the moment the Nichols Fishtrap project had been enjoined he had given up hope that the highway would be constructed. He regarded the decision of Judge Smith as favorable to E. D. Hyche, owing to the fact that the appeal bond was set at the nominal sum of $20O0, which. made it easy for the attorneys of the com lplainants to maintain their campaign for delay at a minimum risk.
 About the courthouse. after it became noised about that Judge Smith had filed his decision. and it's contents became known, the opinion was general that the hearing on the Nichols Fishtrap road project had resulted in a "dog-fall," in that while the injunction was dissolved the low bond set on an appeal made the victory an empty one for the majority of the board of revenue.
 PLANS OF ATTORNEYS
 The tactics that Attorneys Blackburn and Ross will follow from now on are we'll known to the defense. If no steps are taken by the majority of the board of revenue to award the contract to con struct the Nichols Fishtrap highway, Hyche and his attorneys will take no ac- ton toward an appeal from the decision of Judge Smith. On the other hand, should Attorney w. K. Terry of the board of revenue advise the board to go ahead and take steps toward awarding the contract, an appeal will be filed at once. thus automatically reinstating the temporary injunction granted by Judge Crow.
 The Nichols Fishtrap highway was agreed on by the board of revenue last June In the same resolution passed by the board it was voted to build the Tay- lors Ferry road to the Warrior with the same specihcauons as the Nichols Fishtrap with the exception that the Taylors Ferry road would be constructed by convict labor, while the other or the shorter route to the river, would be con structed by contract.
 The Taylor's Ferry road to the War rior river is at the present time under construction and at it's present rate of progress should be completed within a year.
 petition was filed with the board of revenue yesterday morning by 50 or more citizens of the territory that would be served by the Nichols Fishtrap highway to have this road constructed. It is de- clared that if new county is created by the next legislature. with Bessemer as the county seat. that the Taylor s Ferry road will be In the new county and the Nichols Fishtrap highway in Jef- ferson county.

This brings us to the third and last proposition, that which charges fraud and bad faith on the part of the members of the board of revenue.
