GRADE ID TAyLOR'S
 FERRY IS CHANGED
The Board of Revenue Also Orders Width Reduced Because of Condition
 of Treasury

By action of the board of revenue yes- terday the width of the Taylor's Ferry highway to the Warrior river was re- duced by some seven feet, and instead of a maximum grade of per cent the road will be constructed at a grade nearer per cent. The Taylor's Ferry route to the Warrior river, is the road in which Bessemer is interested
 According to the original resolution the Taylor's Ferry road was to be built at width of 32 feet at the fills and S5 feet at the cuts, and at maximum grade of per cent. The changes in the construction, according to the board of revenue, are due to the lack of funds in the county treasury. The Taylor's s Ferry road is now under construction by convict labor.
 It was stated yesterday by members of the board of revenue that after De- cember 10 there will be no free labor on the roads of the county Following out the policy of retrenchment the board of revenue is going to dismiss all road gangs of free labor from it's em- ploy, and all road work after next Sat urday will be done by convict labor
 "The convicts will do all the road work" said Frank Hewitt, land until we receive a report from the treasurer and find out our financial status we are going as slowly as possible in making expenditures"

You Need This
 For Lan1e Back
Foley Kidney Pills Simply Drives The Cause of it
 Out of Your System

Lame back, stiff, swollen, aching joints, and rheumatic pains are the result of weak, sluggish, inactive kidneys. In this condition, they can not keep the blood that feeds your body free of the impurities that poi son you and cause these painful symptoms.
 Foley Kidney Pills are so strongly advised and recommended for these troubles because of their direct and beneficial effect on the kidneys, blad- der and urinary system; and acting through these important organs, on the health of the entire body. Foley Kidney Pills tone up weak and slug gish kidney action, ease a painful and irritable bladder, stop rising at night, remove the cause of backache, lame back, stiff joints and rheunla- tism, due to imperfect kidney and bladder action.
 MT. and Mrs. Frank P. Wood of Morrell, Maine. Box IS, RED. 9, were both rescued from the effect of weak sluggish. imperfect kidney and blad- der action by the use of Foley Kidney

FRED MORRIS HERE
 FOR SHORT TIME
Head of Philadelphia Firm, Which Promoted Tidewater, Is Now
 in Tuscaloosa

Fred s. Morris of Philadelphia, head of the firm of Morris Brothers, bankers and bond dealers, which promoted the Tide water line here, was in Birmingham for a short time yesterday.
 He made no formal statement regarding the suit which certain stockholders had filed against his firm. The total of these suits, it will be recalled, aggregated ap- pIcximately $2O00.000.
 MT. Morris conferred with his attor- ney. Forney Johnston, but due to the fact that MT. Johnston had not had time to study the complaint, no announcement regarding the proposition was given out. However, he made 1t plain that he did not consider the suit one with any great amount of merit.
 MT. Morris, who is the president of the Tuscaloosa Railway and Utilities company of Tuscaloosa, left yesterday for that city, where he will remain for several days looking after the properties there. He is expected to return to Birmingham later in the week for a conference with MT Johnston.

 TODEF|NE POLICIES
Lawrence Announces That Three District Superin- tendents Are to Be
 Created for State

The policies of the Alabama Anti-sa- loon league for the ensuing year will be outlined at a meeting of the trus- tees of the organization here next Tues day.
 What part the league will take in the coming state elections is to be dis- cUssed, and a decision along these lines is expected to be made. With the ap proach of the senatorial race, the guber- material contest, the election of the leg islature and other state and county or- fees, the utmost interest attaches to the meeting. Before the converting of another annual session these fights will be far under way and the policies of the league will have been laid down in way which would practically prevent any material changes.
 The Anti-Saloon league under the di- recton of Brooks Lawrence, is again preparing to resume the place in the po- litical affairs of the state which it oc- cupied before these functions were taken over by the so-called Hobby" Tentative plans are already we'll under way and following the meeting here next week 1t is anticipated that the active work for the coming campaign will be start ed.
 In the announcement of the meeting, which is signed by Dr. w. B. Crumpton, president, and Brooks Lawrence, super intendent, it is stated that the policies of the organization are to be outlined and that it is of the utmost importance that the trustees attend. Due to the fact that the marriage of his daughter takes place on the day of the meeting Dr. Crumpton will be unable to attend While the general policies of the or ganization will be mapped out at the meeting it is expected that all matters of detail will be left in the hands of MT. Lawrence and the members of the headquarters committee.
 Superintendent Lawrence announced yesterday that he was already at work on his plans for the perfect organiza- ton of Alabama. "As soon as we se- cure the three men we desire for district superintendents we will begin this or ganization work" he said. with these men to cover the field and to look after matters of organization I can devote my time to supervision of the work, some- thing I have never before had time to do. I am also arranging for an as- sistant superintendent in Georgia who will largely relieve me of the work l anl now doing in that state'
