The bill was by Senator Acker It's death was cheered by author iues of Mobile. Birmingham. and other cites in Alabama but mourned by members of the present commission and corporations in the state which could see through it's many sections some re- ] ef from what they term low finances"
 similar bill also died on the house calendar.
 Instead of giving the state commission more power the two houses on Wednes- day went on record as being in favor of legfslating two members out of office or making them move to Montgomery. Al most simultaneously the senate and the house enacted bills which require all state officials to live in Montgomery and it was admitted the measure was aimed at Sam F. Kennedy of Anniston, president of the commission and s. P.
 'aillard of Mobile eeroc'ate memper. The third member, B. II. Cooper, recently moved to Montgomery from Birming ham.
 At the beginning of the July session of the leoi ea'rre f aopea~@1 the bill would meet with favor However, ppo- tests came in large numbers from Mo bile and Birmingham. The measure would have permitted the state~commis- sion to go to Mobile and change rates now being charged by the street railway and other utilities It also would have been applicable to other towns which have the power 70 control rates.

MORE EVIDENCE OF
 GREAT RELIEF
Was Dizzy, Nervous, Back Was Lame, Stomach Full of Gas and wells Constipated. Gets Unusual Results.

Dreco does it's curative work in simple straightforward way. It wastes little time getting all it's energies to work, feeding the tired, worn-cut nervous tract filling the ar teries with rich new blood, and building up the body for it's fight against disease. Read what MT. T. B. Menefee of IA South Cedar street, Mobile, Ala, says
 For some time I have suffered with ner- vous pains in my back and limbs, especially the joints. It struck first in the hips, then the knees got painful, then the shoul- ders and elbows. My back gave me a great deal of trouble, especially when I got up in the morning, and also when would make a quick move or bend. I was also troubled with cons tipation. headaches, nervousness, so I did not sleep well. and my appetite was about all gone was attracted by the state ments I read in the papers about what Dreco had done for many other people. and de- cided to try it. with the result that by the time had finished one-half of the first bot tie my pains had left and the stiffness was wearing away. l can jump right out of bed without the slightest pain at all :: can toop about and climb stairs without any troublel The constipation is entirely gone. l never have headache, and my wife says about to eat her out of house and home, since my appetite has improved so
 "I feel perfectly well now, but my wife insists that l keep it up, so I am going to take another bottle just to make sure I'm we'll"
 Statemenst like this from persons right here in our home town should do much to convince people of the true merits of Dreco. This remedy does not contain any mercury, potash other harmful mineral. nor any 1 thing that affects the heart, but is com posed of the juices of many different roots and herbs
 All good druggists now sell Dreco and is highly recommended in Birmingham by Nor ton Drug Co. Dreco is also sold in Bessemer by the Fulton Drug Co.,, in Fairfield by Halls Pharmacy, in Vivian by Central Pharmacy.---Adv.

BOXING BILL KNOCKED OUT

The knockout blow also was deliv- cred to the Jones bill, permitting boxing contests in all cities having a population of more than 5000 inhabitants. It also was friendless, when friends were abso- lutely essential to it's well being The Jones bill would have created a board to have supervesion over boxing con- tests.
 Female hula hula" dancers may con- tinue to dance in Alabama, because the house did not consider the bill of Rep resentative Mitchell which was entitled as follows: ''To make it unlawful for any person, persons, firm. troupe, com pany corporation or aggregation of per sons travelling from place to place. con- posed in whole or in part of women, to show or exhibit or-enGage in any dancing performance. or as dancers in a tent or other temporary enclosure, structure or any place whatsoever, with the excep- tion of regularly organized shows, the atrical companies or troupes or licensed circuses."

For the Good of
 the Community

tUre much has been said about the enor- nous expense it will entail on Alabama taxpayers. This talk was instigated pri- marlly by opponents of the highway pro- gramme, worked out by State Highway Engineer w. s. Keller, who hoped there by to poison the minds of the voters of the state against the $25, 100000 bond issue in the event the legislature authorized it's submission to them.
 It has had it's effect but the favorable propaganda put out by the good roads ad- vocates has to large extent overcome this, and 1t now appears that the bond is- sue proposition will go before the people with every indication of ratification
 The farmers of Alabama, going exten- sively into the livestock and diversified agriculture industry in the last few years, realize the necessity of good roads over which to take their products to the mar kets. High prices during the last two years have enabled the farmers to i'm prove their lands, add to their stock and equipment and to purchase automobiles and trucks.
 Without good roads automobiles are useless three-fourths of the year, fact that has been borne upon the minds of the farmers with such force that they now want good roads, and reports from rural communities are to the effect that, if given the chance, they will vote for the bond issue.
 They have come to understand that it will cost them nothing; that automobile and truck owners will pay every item of expense to be borne by Alabama, and that in doing so the cities and counties will not be deprived of the revenues they have been accustomed to receive from this source.
 Not only will the cities and counties continue to receive their share of the au- tomobile and auto truck license, but the states proportion of the fund, increased by 50 per cent over last year, will not af- feet the general fund by reason of it's di- version to the road and bridge fund.
 It is estimated that the highway fund derived from this source will average about S800,000, and probably go as high as $1,00O,OOO year, during the quad rennial period covered by the newly en- acted general revenue law. Heretofore it has been less than one-half of this sum, and the annual expenditures for highway construction and maintenance has ex- ceeded the total automobile and auto truck license.
 It may be worthy of note in this connec- tion that the state of Arkansas and coun- ties in that state are now engaged in con- structing permanent highways that will cost considerably in excess of $5, 100000, for which bonds have been issued.
 Arkansas has less property values than Alabama and her annual revenues fall several millions dollars under that of Ala bama. Yet that state and the counties therein did not hesitate when the question of good roads came up, but buckled down to business, mapped out the roads they wanted built and went to work.
 With the S25,0OO,00O bond issue and the federal aid, now authorized and to be authorized in the next two or three years, more than $50,O00,000 will be available for road building in Alabama, exclusive of the collateral roads to be built by the counties independent of state and fed 'eral aid.
