of acres of cut-over land filled with

a happy family reunion turned out
to be a night and day spent in Jail

young man, was wanted in Gadsden
on a charge of assault with intent
to murder. He had spent part of

Depot late Friday afternoon. White
had been at the station to meet his
wife and baby, who came from Co
lumbus, Ga. After the meeting of
husband and wife, Sheriff Moon ap-
peAred on the scene and arrested

disposition was to be made of the
wife and baby.
Mrs. White asked to be allowed to
stay with her husband, as they had
not seen each other for two months,
whereupon the sheriff prepared a
comfortable bed in a roomy cell and
placed the little family together for

Admission, Ala, May IL

February was a better month than
January, notwithstanding that it was
three or four days shorter; March
was better than February, and April
was better than March. according to
the unanimous statement of business
men and manufacturers of this city,
who are keeping tab on the general
conditions.
While other cities in Alabama and
other states of the south are report
ing an exodus of negro labor to
northern cities Admission has felt the
movement only to a limited extent,
! less than half a dozen of the helpers
in the dozen or more foundries of
Admission having answered the call
of the labor agent and gone to a
colder climate In search for higher
wages.
The Admission city council has
probably forestalled the work of the
labor agents In Admission by adop-
ton of a series of ordinances which
have since been copied in Gadsden
and other places and life will be
made hard for the solicitors from
the north In the event they decide to
make campaign in Admission. The
ordinances adopted provide for the
payment of heavy license for
operation in this city and other ordi-
nances require health certificates be-
fore removal of houshold goods
from the city into other states.
RECORD CAR SHIPMENT
Car shipments of manufactured
products from Admission during the
month of March exceeded those of
the preceding month, and thus far in
May the increase has shown to be in
advance OF the first three months
of the year.
The cotton mill manufacturers of
the city are having more trouble
with filling of orders than they have
with the labor situation and many
of the local mills are still in opera
ton at day and night shifts in try
ing to keep up with their influx of
big orders.
The paving program adopted by
the city council several months ago
and which has been under way for
two or three weeks, has brought a
full force of labor employed by the
]. P, Morgan Paving company of
birmingham, from other points to
this city, and the pay rolls each
. week have been increased by this
concern to a considerable extent.
BIG PAVING PROGRAM
Practically every sidewalk in the
city which has not already been CO.
mented will receive covering of ce-
ment walkways during the next few
months, the contract having been
awarded about a month ago, and the
work of installing a complete sewer
line through the southern part of the
City mas pTouSHt lnto employment

Buyers of vacant lots, influenced
by the recent series of auction sales
In the city, are making plans to erect
pretty homes on the former prop
erty of the Mobiles in the northern
part of the city, and on the old
Phinizy property in the same sec
ton of the city.
Building material dealers and con-
tractors are anticipating busy
season as soon as the plans for more
home building Is under way, and in
every sense of the word Admission
can be called one of the busiest cities
probably in the entire state of Ala
bama.
