The territory adjacent is rich in min
erals and good farming land as well.
The idea is to extend the road further
until connection is made With the
Southern railway in either Jasper or
Fayette counties, thus opening an un
developed sections of Alabama very
rich in natural resources.
Reports are that the Henderson Lum-
Der company people look with favor
on the proposition and will be inclined
to help in the effort to link up their
lines will bring in tributary to the
road vast deal of wealth which now
is unavailable There is much coal
iron, limestone. and other minerals in
the territory. besides perhaps the larg-
est of practically untouched limb er
lands in the state.
There is a general sentiment in Tus
caloosa that the road should be built
and if constructed will do more to fix
the prosperity of this place than any
other one factor. Tuscaloosa capital,
energy and brains have built one rail-
road. and given the town a tremendous
impetus. With the great untouched
territory to the north awaiting de-
velopment, there seems to be a COM
mon acceptance of the idea as the
one big piece of constructive work
ahead of this community, and deter
mination to force the project along to
the point where it will become a reali-
cation.
The committee is now at work as
sembling data getting in touch with
all sources of information, prelimin-
airy to compiling a first report which
will probably then be followed by sur
veys and more detailed data.

NEGRO HURRIED TO SAFETY

Tuscaloosa. July -(Special.)--
Sheriff Hughes suggested to the officers
in charge of the negro, John Henry Nc
Coy who shot and killed Mr.. c. O.
Springer Of this city near York on
Monday night, that they had better
take their prisoner on to Birmingham,
This being the home of young Springer,
who was very popular, Sheriff Hughes
thought it best not to take any chances
of trouble. The officers first took
the negro to .Eutaw and the sheriff
there advised that he be brought on to
Tuscaloosa, as the proximity of Eutaw
to the scene of the murder. its outra-
geous brutality and the indignation of
citizens were such that to lodge the
prisoner in Jail there was to invite
mob violence. So the officer in charge.
Sheriff d. d. Davis of Sumter county,
took him on to Birmingham.
From facts received here the killing
Birmingham negro had not shown up
business it was to look after the hands
trouble was. thinking probably the
man was sick. Mccoy announced that
he had quit and did not intend to
work any longer Springer told him to
come on to the office then and get his
time, and he would have to vacate
the company house he was occupying.
as hands were badly needed and there
was shortage of houses. The negro
said "all right. let me get my hat and
will go with you and get my time" In
stead of getting his hat he procured
his pistol and shot Mr.. Springer in
the back as he strolled on ahead

great virgin hardwood, pine and min

LITTLE DEMAND FOR FOOD

Tuscaloosa, July 23.-(Special.)-
Congressman Oliver has wired Mayor
Rob ertson that he believes a cut of
fifteen per cent in the price Of canned
vegetables will be announced by the
army food department, and renewed
his offer to pay the expenses of a
buyer to go to st. Louis or Chicago
and examine the store or purchase the
stock for the city
1t is rather unlikely the matter will
eventuate into anything definite for
this community. The city commission
no authority to commit the municipal
the ordering of car of food would be,
and are therefore hesitant to move
1t has been suggested that this could
be obviated by people coming forward
and filing orders with the commission
and making deposit of one third of
the cost of goods ordered so that there
would be no question at all of the city
taking any risk. but this has not struck
a popular chord and volunteers have
not been numerous. The confusion as
to prices, and the really narrow mar
gin between those announced by the
government and the prices at retail
in the cash stores" which maintain
no delivery service, have all tended to
rather cause the average citizen to
conclude there is no great amount to
be gained by the bother of getting the
government goods; and unless more
substantial reductions are offered than
now appear. it is quite unlikely Tus-
caloosa will make an order at all.
