 MICA MINING FEVER
Wealthy Men Have Become h. terested and Development
 Is Being Rushed

Rockford, March 2o-(speciaL) )-The mica mines of Coosa county are now be- ing developed as never before with the local prominent men taking great inter est in their future
 From reports on all hands, it appears that many owners of mica property have been seized with the mica fever. Mining specialists over the state that have visit ed the mines state that the mica possi- bilities of Coosa county are only limited by it's boundary lines.
 A few days ago J. W. Fletcher min ing engineer and expert. sank two shafts on the property of Earnest Brown, lying on the main trace of mica that the mica specialists minerologists and and mining engineers claim to be one of the richest in the county. This trace consists of three main parallel veins extending in a northeastern and southwestern direction
 The outside vein was reported to be of a good grade of mica and to be four inches thick and 90 inches in width, When the shafts are sunk below water level the developments will have only started. Inasmuch as most of mica lies below water level
 Also developments of the mica indus try in other sections of the trace which extends northeast and southwest are be- ang made at a rapid rate under the su- pervision of the mining engineers. No table among these mica mines is the mine on the property of Henry w. Pond and William Shurott which has been un- der development for several months, proving profitable to the owners. Some

knew of Mrs. Buchanan's interest in

the lecture living models illustrated

DANGER IS OVERDREssING
There is far more danger Of being
overdressed than underdressed,' de-
clared Mrs. Buchanan in opening her
lecture. She then explained that some
women who had not lived in the city
and who were broadminded enough to
admit that they did not know just
how to dress, often sought advice on
this subject.
Color was discussed in it's connec-
ton with the seasons. the complexion
and the line Of the figure. Through
out her talk Mrs. Buchanan empha-
cized the need for fitting the clothes

the needs OF the occasion rather than
being in any way a slave TO fashion
Stout women with an unattractiVe

ROOSEVELT WILLING
T0PAY COLOMBIA
John Barrett Reveals Ex-Presi-

Expressed Apology.

Theodore Roosevelt never was I'M
alterably opposed to making some
fern OF payment to Colombia for tho
Panama Canal Zone. according to John
Barrett, former director general of
the Pan-American Union. and hrst
regular United States minister to Co
lumbia after the separation of Pan
anna, who spoke yesterday before the
General Staf College here
Roosevelt was vigorously against
an expressed apology" he said, but
the records of the State Department
times made to me proved that ne
actually favored a new treaty that
would settle finally the United States
Colombo ian Pa anna problem.
II recall clearly the negotiations
with the Colombian government at
Bogota in 1s05-ls06. which 1 had the
honor and responsibility OF conduct
ing as the first regular United States
minister accredited to Colombia after
the separation of Panama. Under spe-
cific instructions of Secretary OF State
Elihu Root, when Mr.. Roosevelt was
President and in ciosest touch with
everything done in the State Depart
ment, / negotiated and signed with
the minister OF foreign affairs OF Co
iombia, when Gen. Rafael Reyes was
President, a protocol for treaty
which. IL 1t had been enacted, should
have settled forever the great aues-
ton which has ever since hung fire.
1.-THE big fact Is that this protocol
was approved by Secretary Root when
he stopped at Cartegena, Colombia, in
the summer Of 1906, upon his return
journey. and it provided for the even
tual negotiation of treaty which
would have included important finan-
cial considerations or payments COW
ering what Colombia regarded as her
material losses, and probably been
approved by both governments had it
not been for political difficulties in
Colombia growing out OF General
Reyes attitude toward certain home
questions other than the treaty. which
resulted in his defeat"

Ivg.r THE RAIN UNCOVERED

The now model Dlgh"a! le""'ns
from the southwest boundary OF "ard
! through Ringg0ld and Jamestown
N pleck Lake has been the source OF
,oucb nride 70 the citizens Of that
ward. especially those having OCCASION
:, use that portion which leads from
Jamestown to RinggOld, even though
the cost of building this road has been
excessive.
The road had every appearance Of
ta:ps substantial and built according
70 specifications. No one believed but
that the fills were solid earth, and
thought that the high embankment eX-
tending across Four Mile Bayou bot
toms would hold anything.
1t required only one unusually
heavy rain to prove what had been
MT into the road Instead Of solid
earth everything else within reach was
used and covered over with dirt. After
the biz rain last week a representative
of the Democrat viewed what had ap-
pareptly been a road that would stand
any test. What we saw was enough
to disgust every honest taxpayer III
the parish We expected to find clean
open gaps where the water had brok-
en- over and cut through the embank-
ment. Instead we found rotten logs,
saplings, brush and stumps which had
been piled in the right-of-way and coy
cred with dirt. These permitted the
water to run under and through the
embankments or fills as easily as
through seive and soon tore away
the dirt leaving the log and brush
piles bare. We noticed that where
the fills were solid only few inches
had washed off the top, but where the
brush was coveerd the breaks occurred.
There must have been at least "a
of a mile of road which cost large
sum, almost entirely destroyed, and
the blame lies as much with those
In charge of the work, as with those
who actually did the work.
The specifications call for earth fills
and not log or brush fills. The stumps
were to be cut to 18 inches below the
road surface If our memory serves Us
correctly. Yet we found them where
they had been barely covered.
Will the taxpayers Of Bienville Par
bh stand for this kind of road build
ing? Will Mr.. Geo. R. Wilson, who has
been employed to supervise the build
ing of our roads, smile on this kline
of work? Is he not supposed to know
the character Of the work done al
along the line? He Is paid by tn
people to see that we get honest work
II this kind Of work has been permit
ted on a short piece Of road, what abou
the miles Of road that have been built
Will 1t stand up after logs and brusl
have had time to rot and settle?
Another thing noticeable was tina
the bridges were to few to take car
Of the volume Of water. To insure tn
permanency Of this particular piece O
road, according to old settlers, at leas
twice as many bridges should be pro
yided, and these twice as wide as th0s
which have been provided for.

CHURCHES AND MONEY.

The complaint is sometimes made
that the churches ask for money toe
often, and that it cost too much to
operate them.
But what are the facts?
A little more than 100000 900 was
contributed to Protestant churches by
members In the United States and
Canada last year.
This was about one-tenth as much
as Americans alone spent for tobacco
In the same period.
Churches christen US, marry us. bury
us, give US our fine ideals and try ia
save our souls.
What We give them In return should
make us ashamed. Exchange.
