SON GIVEN LEGACY
 TO HOLD FOR RISE
Money Order For 2,50O,OOO Marks
 To Await Gold Basis

SELMA, Ala, Oct. 13.-(Special Leased Wire.)-In March of this year Nicholas Carridas, a Greek restau- rant operator of this city, purchased an express money order payable in German marks at Athens, Greece. The amount paid for the express order was $75 in American money and the number of German marks payable at Athens on demand is 2,500,0oO. The unsettled conditions in Germany, causing ightning-like changes in the value of the mark, caused Carri- das not to forward the express money order to his waiting family in Athens. Today Carridas presented the order to his 15-year-old son, George, who is here with his father, with the instruction to hold the money order until Chancellor Strese- mann's gold standard basis is estab
 lished in Germany, when, the father told his son. he would get 2,500.000 marks worth 25 cents each. Now, the old man says, you could get 675,- OOOOOO marks. but they would be nothing worth." Carridas has been a world trotter in his day. He was on the trek when Paul Kruger led the Boers into the Transvaal. He joined Kitchener when the English fought the Boers and was shut up in when Dom Paul fell. Then he was detailed guard at the grave of Cecil Rhodes on top of the high mountain overlooking old Rhodesia. He was at Kimberly when Kimberly fell. He left the English army service when the Rrsso-Japanese war broke out and landed in Hawaii on board 8 Russian man-o'war. Then he came to Frisco through the golden gate. went back to Greece and returned to America and to Selma. where he gave his son his legacy in an ex- press money order.

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD

'
 Ten thousand books to be used as travelling libraries in the rural com munities of Alabama and in the prisons of Alabama are wanted by the Alabama state department of archives and history, No funds have state for the purchase of this class of books. The convict department has recently made a good beginning in a library al Kilby and will add to these books from time to time. but there is immediate need of several thousand volumes for the various convict camps, if the plans of the library ex- tension work are carried out.
 Since 1907 the department of ar chives and history has been conduct ing a travelling library system which has grown to such proportions that librarian in charge of the extension work has been employed for the past every county in Alabama was sup piled with travelling libraries with the exception of eight. Numerous calls came that could not be answered for lack of books. Packages contain ing 40 or 50 books are loaned for four months. The Parent Teacher asso- citations of Alabama realize that one of the best aids to discipline and to mental development of the young Is good fiction and stories of travel, ad- venture and history, which constitute the class of books furnished in the travelling libraries.
 During the month of September zoo books were read by the convicts in Kilby prison. Roy Nolen, chairman of the board of convict supervisors, is cooperating most heartily with the department of archives and his Tory in the extension of library ac- tivities into the prisons of the state.

NE W H|CHWAY PLAN NOW FUNCTION|NC
 IN MORGAN COUNTY
Superintendent Takes Over Tasks Assigned To Him Un-
 der Forman Measure
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD


 The road supervision machinery, created for Morgan county by act Of the legislature recently, has be- gun function S. E. Roper, who was appointed by Governor Brandon as road superintendent for the county, is taking over the tasks assigned to him by the terms of the Forman bill, introduced by J. A. Forman, one of the county's representatives in the lower house.
 One of the first acts of the new superintendent was the appointment of board of five men to act as an advisory committee. They serve without compensation, but will meet at least once each month to advise with the superintendent in all ques- ticns affecting the road system of the county. The board is composed of A. A. Hardage, Thomas A. Bowles, J. E. Freeman, Dr. T. J. Rus sell and Addie Vest.
 Later beat committeeman will be named, one from each beat in the county, to have authority. under the superintendent, to look after road af- fairs in the respective beats.
 Representative Forman, author of the measure, has made an intensive study of the road question. Realiz- ing that Morgan county now is spending the proceeds of a $400,00 OOiu lSSut Oi itT AOd0S, ilC SludlCd county road acts of many states in an effort to give to Morgan a high way system which will meet tho needs of future years.
 T do not believe it will be neces- sary ever to have another road bond issue in this county" he said. He pointed out that under the provisions of the law every automobile will pay a $5 license fee to the county and all vehicles whether automotiye or. not, will be required to pay some- thing to the road fund. The superin- tendent will be on the job daily and with the funds created by the spe- cial vehicle tax, it is believed that in the future the county will be able to build what roads are necessary and to keep all others in repair without the necessity of voting bonds to furnish the money. The outcome of the experiment in this county is being watched with inter- est all over the state and if the For man bill fulfills the belief of its framers, other counties probably will adopt similar code.
