THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Regardless of the economic merits of the con-
troversy between the firemen and the city the
attitude of the former in declining to leave their
posts until their selected is praise
worthy. The fremen were willing to with
out pay in the ''nterregnum" but it is understood
that they will be compensated for the time that
they actually serve.
With such spirit in evidence, an adjustment of
honest differences between the firefighters and
the municipality should not be impossible.

GADSDEN PREPARES ID SPEND S172,OOO
 FOR PAVED STREETS
Chattanooga Company Will Begin Actual Work Within 10 DayS-Enforced Delay
 Nets City Neat Profit

Gadsden. April 1S.-(specialA- A-within 10 days the Southern Paving and Construc- tion company of Chattanooga will com mence work on the Gadsden streets that will not be concluded until $l72,0Oo worth of improvements have been made and Gadsden's project for better streets be- comes an accomplished fact At spe- cial meeting of the council last evening the bonds were passed in an ordinance that was framed to take care of the difference in the time between the vote on the first and the vote on the actual issuance of the bonds.
 This work should have started last year as the bonds were voted and every body was ready, but the construction companies were not in the market for municipals, and it has consequently come down to the present time. How ever. the city has reaped the benefit of the delay, for had the bonds been sold a year ago they would have had to go at a big sacrifice, and now the city Is able to sell them at par.
 The contract for the paving was signed last night and calls for 12,0O0 feet of curb and gutter, $500 yards of sidewalk, 5000 feet of storm sewers and 5000 yards of street paving. The streets will be paved according to specifications set forth in the contract, and there may be two or three different surfacings tried out in the course of the work. The company will begin operation on the storm sew CTS first, and it is expected that within 10 days this work will be well under way.
 It also is axpected that by May l the street work will begin, although it is not definitely known which street will be the first to be paved under this ordi- nance. The list of streets that will be paved includes Locust, Second. Third, Chestnut, Eighth and Turntine avenue. Sidewalk, curbing and gutter will be laid on Ninth street and Walnut street.

PLANTERS
 ARE REDUCING COTTON
 AREAS TWENTY PER CENT

Prattville. April 1a-(Special.) )-From what is considered reliable information it is learned that the acreage in cotton in this county will be reduced some 20 to 25 per cent for the present year. and as the commercial fertilizer account in tiis county has been reduced 70 per cent, the yield of cotton in this section of the state does not promise more than to to 70 per cent of the crop of last year.
 It is known that there was the largest yield of cotton in this county last year that has been produced since the year 1914 But last year the yield was but slightly more than % per cent of the crop grown in l9l4. That part of the cotton which has been planted in this county and is coming up does not seem to have been hurt by the two frosts oc- curing on the mornings of April Il and l2.

MERIDIAN REVSES
 LIGHTING SCHEDULE
New Ordinance Has All Effects of Truce in City-PoWer
 Company Fuss

Meridian, Miss. April 1S--(special,)-At a meeting of the city council today a proposition designed to settle for the time being the controversy over electric light ing rates that has long existed between the city and the Meridian Light and Railway company, submitted by the com pany, but action was deferred The proposition follows:
 A customer charge of 50 cents per month per customer. plus.
 demand charge of & per month per kilowatt demand. plus.
 A consumption charge of 4 cents per kilowatt hour for all current used as measured by meter.
 The minimum bill to be rendered any customer to be sl per month
 A customer is understood to mean one person, firm or corporation served at one address with one meter.
 The new rate is to be applied to bills that have been held up pending a de- eision of Federal Judge Edwin R. Holmes on an application by the utility company for an injunction restraining the city from enforcing a recently adopted ord- nance fixing gas and electric rates and abolshing the company's customers service charge of 75 cents on each meter. The above rate is considered much cheaper than the rates for electricity provided for in the ctys ordinance, ane is presented by the Meridian Light and Railway company in order to re-esta- fish its friendship with the people of Me- ridian and in the hope that in the long run the new rate will increase the num- bei of consumers.
 Regardless of the acceptance of the above rate the city council today gave notice of the continued fight for mu- nieipally owned and operated plant by adopting resolution providing for an election on bond issue of s6O0,00O to pro-

Confederate Visits Gadsden
 And UnLoads Ancient Lore

Gadsden, April 13.-(SpeciaI.)-- Exhibiting pair of cotton trousers that he stated were spun for him by his mother in June, 1858, J. E. Bynum, aged s. an old Confeder- ate veteran from Onconta, dropped Into the city for n renewing of old acquaintRnces yesterday, having been wintering in Florida.
 The aged veteran was with the Thirty-secOnd Alabama during the Civil war, and was at one time a merchant in Gadsden, moving to Oneonta in 1878. He stated that the white cotton trousers had been made for him by his mother, Mrs. EIisa Bynum. when she was living on the old homestead in OneOnta in IS56.. He was married in these

 He also recalled that on April IS. 1S45, there wns mn inch and a half of snow all over this section, and recalls the date well because it was the anniversary of the day he re- eeived his first strnw hat.
 His father had gone from the farm to Gadsden. the nearest trad ing point, nnd on his return he brought a Recent straw hat for Mir. bynum, who walked with his mother distance down the road in his bare feet to receive his father and the gift. The anniversary of his first straw hat and the heavy snow fixed the date firmly in his mind

 NAVY ACTS AT ONCE

NAY AClS Al ON(E
 Of course I was notified at once of the serious nature of the communication made by the German ambassador to Sec retary Lansing. It's momentous charac- ter was immediately apparent. Appre hension had been felt that German Y might do some ntolerable thing, but this utter defiance of civilization, this com plete repudiation of pledges, without warning or chance for argument, ex- ceeded apprehensions.
 The navy acten at once, without wait ing for the cabinet meeting which was called for Friday, February 2.sOn Thurs day, as the German U-boats were spur ring themselves to the pursuit of ther prey, all ships and stations were being notified to be in readiness for a positible mobilization order. The instructions which I sent to the whole fleet read as follows
 The order to mobilize for war will be an 'Alnav message in secret code. Upon receipt of the message to mobilize, every effort should be made to assemble ships at the designated rendezvous at the earliest possible date, ready in all re- spects for war service"
 BE READY FOR SERVICE
 The rendezvous for the various forces -battleships, scouts, destroyers subma- rines, mine force, Atlantic and Pacifl, coast divisions, and naval district forces were set forth. All vessels were noti- fled that upon receipt of the message "Alnav availability" they >were to re-

 For the first time l am giving to the public the steps which we took simul- taneously with the menacing movement of Germany. Outside of official circles the fact has not been known until now that complete plant for the mobilization of the entire navy. brought up to date in every detail was sent out before the cabinet met.
 While rumors were flying about Wash excited speculation in hotel lobbies and congressional corridors, the navy was quietly getting ready for whatever the hour might bring. There was neither hesitation on the oife hand nor frenzied haste on the other. our plans had been made, and it took few words to put them in operation.

telegram, against the enactment Of
any measure that would weaken or
take from the department of labor

the act under which it was created,
or weaken the power of the depart

OF existence"
I'VE have been nearly 10 years try
ing TO establish this department, he
