MontgOmery, AIn.. May ~

Immediate survey of II miles of
road between Mobile and the Missis-
sippi line was ordered by the state
highway commission today following
delegation of citizens of Mobile,
which asked the commission to locate
the road at the earliest possible
moment Although funds Will not pc
available for the construction work
until July /. 1924, the survey Will De
made and citizens of Mobile county
nromised to construct such portions
If tho road as may be necessary for
the protection of Mobiles trade ter
John A. Callan, ex-officio member
of the commission. offered resoiu-
ton during the meeting proVloine
for the construction of lateral roads
olution was deferred to next meet
ing. Under Mr.. Callan's plan the
state would appropriate two thlrds
and the county's one-third or the
amount necessary for the construc-
ton of the roads. Mr.. Callans re-
solution said the state and countles
could begin the construction work
now since revenue from automobile
licenses will be greater than neces-
sarv for the perfection of state bonds
issued for the building of federal aid
roads.
Approval was given ny the Sohi''i'
sion of the plan for the survey OF
a road from Fackler to the Tennessee
line in Jackson county and of road
from Hillsboro to Moulton in Law
renee county. The approval of the
Lawrence project was conditioned on
the payment of one half the cost by
the federal bureau of forestry as the
road will be an outlet for the red
eral forest reserves of Lawrence and
Winston counties.
The commission also approved the
construction of a second project in
Madison county which will lead form
Huntsville to the Tennessee line.

Bad men have misused the custom
of barbecues to such an extent that
the nation and states found 1t nee
essary to remove one of the impor-
tant features by enacting prohibition
laws, according to Judge william ii.
Sanford of the court of appeals, who
handed down an opinion holding that
Jim Love of jefferson county violated
the prohibition laws when he served
beer at his barbecue stand In JeHer-
son county.
Witnesses testified that the barbe-
cue was there with the other fea-
lures. which attracted attention In
the days of old. The court of APP
peals ruled that their testimony was
sufficient to convict Love of Violat-
ing the prohibition laws
we now hold that where a de-
PENDANT is maintaining a barbecue
stand where barbecue Is cooked and
served at regular intervals out in
the country near his house, under the
trees and in the woods and it is
shown that whisky and empty jugs
and empty beer bottles, the jugs
smelling like whisky, and a tub full
of bottles filled with beer in a stream
of cool water and ice packed all
around the bottles and it is further
shown that people were congregated
ing and belonging to or rented by
defendant it is competent to prove
that the people who were there as
defendants guests were intoxicated
and that there was smell of corn
whisky on their breath" said the
opinion of Judge Sanford.
Recalls "Them Days"
Some of the older citizens of this

maddening crowd of cities, the saw

who staged these barbecues at stated
intervals for such guests whom ne
invited and who were entertained by
defendant for a profit. But bad men
have misused these things to such an
extent that. to save our civilization,
laws have been passed making such
scenes a crime, and all good citizens
will obey these laws and all others
must be made to do So.
