GETTING BUSY FOR LOCAL AMENDMENT Committees Formed to Give Full Publicity to Reasons
 for Change

Active plans for an intensive cam paign in the interest of the county aid amendment to the Alabama constitu- tion, to be voted upon in the election on November 9, were made at the noon meeting yesterday of the inland water ways committee. made up of members of the various civic organizations
 Committees were appointed. all to begin their work at once. E. B. Irwin was named chairman of the finance committee. Other members were G. w. Yancey and James l.. Davidson. The publicity committee consists of E. Will kinson, chairman; A. c. Crowder and w. M. Spencer.
 E. Wilkinson was also named vice president of the committee which was designated as the inland waterways committee.
 The committee will immediately be- gin the necessary work to present the Jefferson county amendment to the constitution before the voters of the state. This amendment provides that counties of over $100,000, 900 taxable value can lend aid to internal improve ments such as waterways Jefferson county is the only county that will be effected.
 Because Jefferson county is the only one involved, it is believed 1t will be the one on which the campaign will hinge, according to members of the committee. Speakers will impress this fact on the people of the state in con- ducting the campaign.
 While Jefferson county Is the only one to be effected, the whole state will receive the benefits, particularly the northern part of Alabama, which will use the port of Birmingham.
 Members of the committee expressed themselves as alive to the importance of the waterways meeting in Mont gomery on September IS, when the Ala bama Waterways Association will be formed. Practically every congress- man from Alabama has indicated that he will attend. Senator Underwood and Senator-elect Heflin will be the prin- cipal speakers.
 Birmingham will be we'll represented at this meeting by delegations from every civic and luncheon club in the city.

MONROE CITIZENS FULLY DETERMINED
 TOHAVE HIGHWAYS
Good Roads Days Estab- ished on Which Citizens Turn Out in Force to
 Work Roads

Monroevil1e. August 8.-(Special) )-The are fully determined to have good roads. This has been demonstrated by the es- tablishment of good roads days in three of the beats in the county, on which days public-spirited citizens, white and colored, turned out en masse to work the roads free of cost to the county.
 Following the example set by the Tun- rel Springs-Peterman beat the Beatrice Nadawah beat promptly designated three days for working the roads. during which time all business houses, banks and mills were closed and teams, road machines and men were employed in working every road in these beats The Monroeville- Mexia beat dropped into line by desig- mating August "A and 9 as good road days and the work just completed has been well done. With but few excep- tions, all business houses were closed for three days and with still fewer ex- captions every able-bodied man and young man did excellent work on the countys highways.
 This spirit is spreading to ether beats in the county, and at least some of them will carry on this work. Already there asas been some work done in communi- X 1es and the good results obtained in the !. 1ats which have adopted this method of kApairing roads is having wholesome 4ffect on progressive citizens all over
 he county.
 Monroe county has spent several hum dred thousands of dollars on it's road sys- tenn, but a change in it's road law which does not make available road taxes and road service until after taxes become due in the fall left a gap in it's maintenance

part of the past which was dear to all of them. After dinner we found a chance to chat with MT Hickman and no won der he was full of statistics facts, for he served in the office of the treasurer of Jefferson county nineteen years, and he was accurate by force of habit He learned that his grandfather, MT Joseph Hickman, moved to Alabama from South Carolina in ISIS, settling in Tuscaloosa county, where he raised large family, among them, Mir Pleasant A. Hickman, who was the father of MT. Dan Hick- man. MT. Pleasant Hickman was then just five years of age, and his family recall his having told them he rode a part of the way on the family COW, which
 travelled tied to the luggage wagon, as they followed the public roads between South Carolina and Alabama. MT Pleas ant Hickman, married Miss. Epsey Gle
 mentine Matilda Burgin, the mother of
 Mir Dan Hickman, and to this union came twelve children. The Hickmans and Burgins have been prominent in the
 affairs of Jefferson county before Bir-
 mingham was founded. MT. Hickman
 moved to Jefferson county and settled
 in Shades Valley at the old Byars Spring the country place of pr. George Eubank today Tn 1876 he moved to Brown s Hill" now a popular residential section of South Highlands.
 MT. Hickman's father lived to be eighty-four years of age, but today the son is active and alive to all the hap penings of the period, though likes to look back upon the past to meet these
 goold old friends and to recall the mem ories of those who have gone, while he affectionately introduces you to those who are making his old age bright and happy.
 The day being over they all promised to meet again next August ?, and left for their homes, leaving Mir. Dan Hick- ] man with his birthday gifts and light heart to carry home with him. Old age is when we have climbed the
 hill of life and resting upon it's heights. We look back, not regretfully, upon our investment of time, and grasp each hour
 with the vigor and spirit of duty well
 done for life is only full as we live it. MT Dan Hickman's friends say he is
 reaping the harvest of well invested life, and they rejoice that he lives among them.

The association offers to it's mem bers club-room facilities on the three top floors of the Jefferson County Bank building that are unsurpassed by other business organizations in the city.

A large number of the legionnaires have taken advantage of the offer and the headquarters of Birmingham Post No. 1 is. in the lounge of the association.

The road tax in the county has been adjusted to meet all requirements and trunk line road that will connect Green vile, Monroeville and Bay Minette $ well under way. This road is having ap- piled to it all available state and federal aid moneys and, it is said, the state highway commission contemplates spend- ing S175, ,00O on twenty-one miles or this road already built, but not yet graveled.
 In an address here rectnly, Senator sam Craft of the state highway commission stated that it would be necessary for each county to take it's pro rata of the 25,- OOe.OOo issue of road bonds and the off cials of MonrJe county immediately set to work to handle it's share, with the re- suit that it had practically made arrange ments to sell these blnds when the in- formation came. it is said. frmo high way commission hat the bonds would not be Autographed until October and would be placed on the market some time aft erwards.
 The federal aid project which has been carried on by the county with convict labor has been contracted to local par ties and the countys teams put to work patching up the bad places in all roads over the county preparatory for road machines The work done by the volun- teers during good roads days has been largely of this character, much gravel being used in muddy and slippery places Road machines are to follow up this work This is already being done in the three beats which inaugurated good roads days,
 A suggestion that may later be put into effect is the building of hard-surfaced road from Monroeviile to Claiborne, with view of putting on a truck line 10 the Alabama river for the purpose of reduc- ing freight rates in this territory. Fms road would also connect with the road in Clarke county to it's county site
 Monroe county has become Iuiy awakened to it's wonderful possibilities as an agricultural and fruit section and realizes that it's future development de bends largely upon the building and maintenance of hard-surfaced roads. This it has undertaken, it's activities in this respect extending over period of nearly five years. It is now preparing to build on the foundation already lad, and when completed no county in the state can boast more elaborate or sub stantial system of good roads.
