During the campaign prior to the county election last year opponents of Mir. Gwin stated that the road, which was being constructed by Jeff ferson county, had gone about one fourth of mile over the line into Tuscaloosa county. Work was im- mediately stopped on the highway, despite the fact that it was already contracted for.
 Line Not Changed
 This was brought about by the pro- posed change in the county line by the legislature of 1919. However, Harwell c. Davis, attorney general of Alabama, in a recent ruling, de- clared that the boundary line of Jeff ferson county had not been moved, as the proposed change in the county line was not advertised in both Jeff ferson and Tuscaloosa counties. Therefore. in his ruling he held that part of the road which was believed to have been built in Tuscaloosa

CITY CONSIDERING REBUILDING SEWER
 SYSTEM IN TOWN
Action Follows Report of En- gineer Stating Present Sanitary CIearage Out
 grown and Inadequate

Relief of congested sanitary sewer conditions is sought by the city conn mission. Julian Kendrick. city engi- neer, has been instructed to present estimates of the cost of constructing sewer sufficiently large to take care of the business district.
 A three-foot sewer along Fourth avenue, north, from Twentieth street t., Eleventh street will be necessary to relieve present conditions, Mir. Kendrick told the commission yes- terday. Branches from the main sewer would have to be constructed in several of the alleys and along some of the streets of the business district.
 Plans Drawn
 Plans for the new supplemental sewer system have been prepared by MT. Kendrick, and practically all of the preliminary details have been worked out. However, It will be several days before an esti- mate of the cost of the work can be given to the commission, Mir. Ken drick stated.
 Action by the commission followed presentation of letter written by MT. Kendrick to Commissioner II. F. Burruss. reporting on the sanitary sewer situation in the business dis trict. A great deal of complaint has been received, MT Kendrick stated, He said it would be advisable to post pone operations until the cost of ma terials had gone down.
 System Inadequate
 Birmingham's present sanitary sew age system was built when the city was a village, and it's capacity has long been overtaxed, MT. kendrick said.
 It was stated that an extension of the county sewer to Smith park at Eleventh street had already been made to receive the proposed new sewer and an extension from the Southside.
 Bids for the work may be called for by the commission in the near fu- ture if Mir Hendricks estimates are low enough, it is believed.

were realized Wednesday in a
practice game when Melvin Ste
phens was injured, the bones in
his foot having been been found
to be fractured, upon examination
by DR.. John Atcheson.
While it isn't absolutely serious,
it is going to be quite inconven-
lent and rather painful, and will
necessitate Melvin's remaining
out of school for a few weeks.
Several of the boys have black
eye a piece, and look like the
morning after the night before, :"
but Melvin's injuries are the only
serious ones so far.

Methodist Church Has
Rousing Rally Day

A big rousiug time was in evil
dence Sunday at the Methodist
church when the annual rally day
was observed. At Sunday school
there were $50 present, and a good
sized, appreciative audience heard
the program which had been so
nicely arranged. The usual young
folks we're present, and the parents
seemed to have made special eff
fort to attend.
Each one on the program per-
formed his part well, and altho
the time was not prolonged, the
numbers were all very pleasing.
The opening nusaber was a solo
by Eel. G. Owen. Those who have
heard Mr.. Owen sing, will realize
that this was most excellent num-
Der, and those who heard him for
the first time were especially well
pleased. Mrs. G. W, R. Hoy gave
a vocal solo, and her singing is so
well and favorably known that no
comment is necessary. Mrs. Ella
Phillips played the piano, and her
selection was must appropriate and
well given. Miss Daisy Keelor
sang "The Holy City," number
which, tho old, is ever new. This
was followed by a splendid short
talk by Rev. johnson explaining
why it is necessary to have rally
day, aud the good that comes from
it.
The entire program was good,
and the day thruout happy one.

Prominent Citizen
Here Beats Wife Up

A highly respected business man
Of this city (out of respect to the
wife, there will be no names men
tioned) surprised the neighbors
living nearby last Thursday morn
ing by beating his wife up.
There was considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood, but due
to the fact that they are very prom
inent, and since the man was never
before known to do such a thing,
and with the assurance that it
would never occur again, the
neighbors decided not to expose
the family by having the man ar
rested. It was such an unusual
thing for MIR. -- to do, that his
wife is naturally suffering from
the nervous shock.
Don't call at the Siftings office
to find out who it is, for like the
neighbors, we really have respect
for the family, and as it was the
first offense, it is not our wish to
destroy the respect the people
have for him. Yet, it seems that
the occurrence should not pass by
unnoticed.
(The reason Mr.. = beat his
wife up, was to get the fire made
SO he could get an early start on
his trip.

BIG FIRE IN
Alice THURSDAY
Finest Building in Alice Burns
to Ground in Short Time
Thursday Morning; Belong
ed to George Stewart Who
Saved Only Surveying Outfit

Considerable excitment was prev
alent in Alice Thursday morning,
when residents were awakened by
the fire alarm and found that fire
had good headway at the home
of George r. Stewart, two and
one half story house, and the finest
residence in Alice.
Mr.. Stewards family was in
Denver, and it was about six
O'Clock that be was awakened by
the smell of the smoke, and hur-
riedly ran down stairs only to find
that his house was on fire. The
blaze seemed to have started from
the kitchen, but what caused it,
remains a mystery.
Unable to save clothing, or any,
thing excepting his surveying out
fit, Mr. Stewart was forced to see
his home, which he had lived in
for twenty years or more, burn to
the ground.
Residents of Alice had hard
time keeping the blaze from reach
ing the tim Der, which would have
meant great disaster and another
big loss.
1t is said the property was not
covered hv insurance.
