Australia was freer from sectarian

BARES WILKES BOOTH HOAX

Booth was acting in London at the time MT Allen and party of friends had gone to see the great American actor in one of shakespeare's plays.
 During the course of the evening the memory of Wilkes Booth was constantly with them. They talked of my hus- bands strange resemblance to him ihey watched the great brother, and remembered how dashing and talented Wilkes had been. with that fiery ar- tstic Temperament, that gift of brillia nj actl1g, lover of heroics, champion Of lost causes, who had played inc as- sassin when he believed he was playing the martyr. Then. carried into the world of make believe by that power or the magnificent actor, the survivina Booth, they came out from the theatre With a mad plan in their heads.

 We have paid to get these letters printed and issued about si xcents each, or $TS.54, besides the cost of the seals and some other. printed matter issued with them May I, therefore, once more beg every lady and gentleman to whom we ventured to address these messen- gers of love and helpfulness, that inn mediatsIy upon seeing this notice they will contribute their share toward turning this small deficit into glo- rious surplus.

STRANGER THAN FICTION
ne Tampa Tribune.

From the Tampa Irlpune.
 In it's current issue popular mag azine prints a striking story which might be termed a topical if rather fantastic plot The chief figure is Will liam Hoherzollern. who is portrayed as the inmate of cheap boarding house in the center of London. At the same time d man who is supposed to be he is prisoner in the tower awaiting trial by the allied judges.
 Ilohcnzollern. taken i'll. discloses his identity to a fellow lodger young secretary of the foreign office. iHe then d:sa ppears. When the trial or the supposed ex-Kaiser takes place soon after in Westminster Han, the young secretary has occasion to at tend and witness dramatic scene when the real Hohenzollern, a spec. tator in the gallery, interrupts the pro |ceedings by declaring himself to be the cli.prit and the prisoner at the bar q Eer,fa actor impersonating him. As has been suggested. the plot is fan tas.ic-so much so that the author had to lay extraordinary emphasis upon the natural egotism of the ex-kaiser to account for his presence at the trial. lis desire to near what people were say.ng about him and to witness til. sti,. he was creating.
 And now comes a news dispatch from Berlin saying: Ferdinand Bonn, at one time the most popular actor in Germany, and special protege Of for mer Kx,reror William, has offered to substitute himself and go to London made up IS the former monarch. Not so much for William as for German rono- would I do thfs.' Bonn declared/ The ridiculous scheme. apparently, diff fers slightly from the plot of the story

humiliating and blow to our pres tige. Surely, VIC do not wish the impression to get abroad that we are not progressing as rapidly as we thought we were!
 An accurate count should give Birmingham a population of more than two hundred thousand. Thsre must be that many people here, and if the census falls. below this total, it will inevitably appear that per sons who should have been counted were left out. For example, Satur- day afternoon a man who operates a large boarding house across the street from The Age-Herald build ing on Fifth avenue, said only five out of twenty-nine persons living in his house were enumerated, although he assisted in getting the question naires answered and they were ready for a woman enumerator who de- clined to go upstairs after them be- cause she was in hurry to get home and "cook her husbands supper" If this house was sighted, why not others in the same territory, which is a populous .rooming house district :? Director Cruikshank is not at fault if many names were not recorded. Census taking is "short time" job, at less pay than other work offers in these profiteering times. Among a large number of enumerators hur- riedly employed, some of them must have been careless and inefficient.
 However, it is not yet too late to prevent grave injustice being done
 Birmingham. The directors office
 in the federal building is still open.
 Every person who thinks he has not been counted should communicate
 with MT Cruikshank. It will not be pleasant to endure the jibes and jeers
 of rival cities if Birmingham fails to make showing proportionate to
 her claims.

Commission Tor County.

T have lived for years in Asheville, North Carolina" said Dr. A. E. Brown, but never in it's history has 1t been so overrun with tourists. Buncombe county. in which Ashevllle is situated, is famous for it's good roads. Some fine concrete and other permanent roads have already been built through the county and at present more than half a dozen highways of concrete or as- phalt are being constructed to connect with the surrounding counties We have the commission form of gov ernment for both city and county
 There are three men on the county board. One has charge of highways, one looks after accounts, and the other has the care of public buildings. In spite of the fact that under the old system much money was wasted on roads, no man going before the people could hope to land any office who did not ring clear note for good roads. The people have learned that it pays to build permanent highways I am glad to know that Alabama will have a chance to go on record on Monday for the bond issue"

 AND ELSEWHERE
Good Rond. In. rIoridn.

q have just returned from three weeks stay in Florida remarked Il. Key Milner. and if had not been good roads advocate before going there I certainly would be now. I spent most of my time in and near Tampa. All about there the roads have been built on a permanent basis and no matter what the condition of the weather they are in good condition all the time. Some of them are brick surfaced. and while a little bit rough, they are never muddy and vehicles can pass along them at all times with ease and Der feet safety and comfort to passengers. Others have concrete base with asphalt surface and they are as smooth as any city street could be.
 Prom my observations and from in- formation obtained while there I am satisfied that the people of Florida de- rive more than enough money from tourists to pay the interest on the cost of construction of the roads and to meet ali maintenance expenses. From business viewpoint good hiwhways have been a good investment for the state of Florida. and it would be equally as profitable to Alabama to build permanent highways. Roads that could be travelled every day in the year and in all kinds of weather would draw thousands of tourists to the state in addition to the thousands of set- tiers they would bring here"
