Huntsville, Ala, April 81

The county commissioners of Mad
ison county have agreed upon a ten
tative program for road improve
ment in this county, 1t is stated. and
have called mass meeting of citi-
zens for Thursday, April IS, at which
time the road plans Will be thor
oughly discussed. Chairman Fleming
of the commissioners is convinced
that the present method of building
roads which wear out in six months
is . waste of money and he wants to
talk with the people on plan for the
building of a few miles of perma
nent road each year and continue
this until the county is covered with
a network of roads that will not wear
but. It is probable that 100000
worth of bonds authorized two years
age and never issued will be sold, and
that this money will provide nest
egg for immediate road operations.

The distinguishing characteristic be-
tween real ana counterfeit paper
money is in the quality of the paper
used. Every bank in the country has
its own special paper, and each bank
has its secret distinguishing mark on
every bill issued. 1t is very difficult
for the counterfeiters to obtain exact
ly the same kind of paper-of the
same texture and thinness-and more
difficult still to incorporate in 1t the
secret mark, and, although they may
issue notes of a similarity that will
deceive the public, these notes very
seldom pass the scrutiny of the ex-
perienced bank official There are
other characteristics in the counter
felt note, such as bad printing and col
oring and awkwardness in the inser-
ton of new figures when the notes are
raised, but these are more easily de-
tected, as are also clumsiness in the
execution of the forged signatures

GOLD LURED MANY TO DEATH
'49" Literally Strewn With Bones
of Unfortunates.

1.-THE days of OIL the days Of gold,
the days of 49," marked the most pic
turesque gold rush in history. On the
heels of Marshall's discovery, follow
ing Suffers lead, excitement became
intense and gold in California was the
ruling topic everywhere. By January,
1910, 90 vessels carrying 5000 passen-
gers sailed from various ports for San
Francisco and 70 more were ready.
During the year $40 vessels entered
port carrying $4,000 passengers and
$4,000 immigrants arrived overland
In few months the population Of
San Francisco climbed from 1000 to
$4,000 and that year the first Pacific
mail steamer passed through the Gold
en- gate. Four hundred sailing vessels
We're abandoned in the harbor while
their owners and crews Joined in the
smad rush to the gold fields. Labor
jumped to SO day and was scarce
at that figure.
Between the spring of that year and
the autumn Of 1850 it is estimated
that about million people-men,
women and children-left the Eastern
states bound for the new Eldorado
But of this vast army thousands died
of hunger and thirst amid the burning
alkali deserts of New Mexico and Ari-
IONA; thousands more lost their way
and persisted miserably in the gloomy
canyons and intricate Businesses of
the Rocky mountains, multitudes fell
victims to the tomahawk and scalping
knife of the Apaches the raids of the
Sioux and the opposition of the Nor
mon elders, who, resenting the intru-
sion Of the gold seekers, sought to
stem the tide by force.

felt by all for the family in this
double affection. Funeral services
were held at the home Saturday
