Penitentiary Bonds Referred.
One Of the most important measures,
next to the road bonds, is the proposal
to build new penitentiary 1t author
ICES an expenditure Of $4n0 900 at the
irate of 100000 a year The work
would be done by the convicts and all
the money used for material. This bill
was introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Ritner and passed both
houses, after once having been killed in
the senate. An expenditure of this sort
authorized by the people themselves
would not be subject to the six per
cent tax limitation. The bill was amend
ed by the Marion county delegation so
that the new penitentiary will have to
be built in Marion county,

| The other item in this resolution
proposed to increase the pay of mem
bers of the legislature from So a day
to $6, but no member can draw pay
for more than 80 days. The speaker
of the house and the president Of the
senate are to receive $40 day The
mileage for members is fixed at Is cents

All sailings of passenger vessels have
been cancelled by the American line.
Shippers have been notified to take

3, when her sailing was postponed. The
Philadelphia is expected to take her
place alongside the st. Louis, New York

Speculation today as TO the probable
cause of the cancellation of American
line sailings, was along two different
lines One was that it might mean
the final decision of the government not
to aid in arming ships flying the Am.

The other was that the present inter

 Although Herbert J. has voice that sounds like an asmathic photograph of the vintage of 1898, he readily consented provided Tom would allow him to select his own song, to which proposition Director Tom promptly assented. And what do you reckon he selectedf None other than that prose ballad he has been singing for the past few months in the newspapers, "Sup- pose you were to die tonight and your fire insurance wasn't paid." Tom said the song might be worse but he didn't see how 1t could be, but if H.

 HAVE A GRAPHITE
 REFINING PLANT
Contract Let to Evans Bros. Will Represent an In- vestment of About
 $30,0OO

The mining of graphite in Alabama will receive great aid from the Hill Grif- fifth company.
 Announcement was made yesterday by William M. Oberhelman, vice president
 and southern manager, that the Hill Griffith company would construct imme diately mill for grinding crude graph
 ite and refining it near Seventh avenue
 and Thirtieth street. The contract for the mill and warehouse has been let to
 Evans Brothers Construction company,
 and will cost S12,700. With the machin- cry, the plant will represent an invest ment of about s3oOOo.
 It will be the only plant of this na-
 ture in the south and will supply all the southern territory from Richmond,
 Va, to Fl Paso. Tex. While the local
 plant of the Hill Griffith company has
 been operating for the past seven years
 here, it has been merely distributing agency. The crude graphite ores, im- ported from Canada and the East Indies, have been ground at Cincinnati and shipped to Birmingham for distribution The tonnage for the past year will eX- ceed 200O tons.
 Since Alabama has become a graphite mining state the Hill Griffith company determined to take advantage of the newly developed resources. Consequent ly the graphite ores produced in the state will be brought to Birmingham, ground and refined
 The principal product of the plant vii be making graphite for foundry facngs which have wide use in this section The graphite will be refined, also. for lupricating purposes The machinery foi the plant will be the most modern and has already been ordered.
 The addition of graphite mill is con- sidered a decidedly important industrial addition to Birmingham by the iron mer l of this district. It will be furnished rail road facilities by the Frisco railroad.
