new COUNTY ROADS.
The Supervisors Are Asked for Two
More Near Oak Park.
Segregating the County's Finances
Swamp Land Claims Audited
1t Was Short Session.

The Board of Supervisors did not meet
until 3 P. NJ. yesterday, owing to the fact
that several Of its members were attend
ing the meeting of the Anti-Debris Asso-
citation, and that the latter meeting was
held IN the Supervisors chamber.
When the board did convene, the first
matter taken up was the petition of F. E.
Mitchell and others for new county
road running south from Oak Park a
mile or so. Mr.. MitchelPs land is COM
pletely hemmed in, and he wants an out
let. The report of the road viewers was
read. They recommended that the petit
ton be granted, as the road was public
necessity and would be of great convent
ence to people living in that section. AS
the proposed road is going to cut through
several farms. the owners of which are
liable to object, the board set the case for
hearing for the first Monday of its next
session.
r. II. Devlin, E. X. Alsip, NJ. J. Dill
man and others interested in Oak Park
appeared before the board with reference
to the petition of b, L. Steinman and
others for a road at the Park. The pro-
posed road will be an extension of Y
street and Cypress avenue, connecting
with the Upper Stockton road. The re-
port of the viewers had been mislaid,
and the committee wanted to know what
the board was going to do about the case.
After considerable rummaging around
the report was found and read. 1t recon-
mended that the road be opened, but
prophesied that it would meet with op-
position from NJ. A. Hornlein and others
whose property would be damaged by the
cutting.
The matter was set for hearing for De-
cember 9th. L. X. Alsip informed the
board that an effort would be made to
bring about an amicable settlement
among the prospective non-consenters
before the board meets again. If they do
not agree the project will be dropped, he
said.
On motion of Supervisor Jenkins, Au-
ditor Johnson was instructed to proceed
at once with the work of Segregating the
county's money into the various road
and other funds.
A number of election bills were audited,
as well as other claims against the county.
Newspaper publishers having bills
against the treasury for election procla-
nations were notified that their bills will
be examined next Friday afternoon, and
they were invited to be present at that
time.
The board then resolved itself into a
Swamp Land Commission, for the pur-
pose of auditing a number of claims
against District 535, after which an ad-
journment was taken until Friday.

COULDN'T AGREE.

Henry Beeler Tried for Grand Larceny,
But No Verdict.
Henry Beeler was tried before Super
ior Judge Catlin and jury yesterday on
a charge Of grand larceny. The jury was
out several hours, and then, failing to
agree, was discharged.
Beeler is accused of having in Septem-
Der last robbed William Collier, ranch
hand, 81 50. Collier came to town with
$40, which he had earned by the sweat of
his brow, and proceeded to have time
among the Philistines of lower L street.
He fell i'll with Beeler, and while in a
saloon at Third and L streets fell asleep
in a chair. Then, SO goes the charge,
Beeler went through" the rural lads
pockets and secured the 81 so before re-
terred to.

a Severe shock.

Assistant Treasurer IIuntoon Receives
a Severe shock.
Supervisor Miller stepped into the
County Treasurer's Office yesterday and
handed Mr.. Huntoon, who is officiating
in Mr.. Lyons absence, $40 gold piece.
Whats this?' asked Mr.. Huntoon, in
surprise.
why, that goes back into the sack, :"
replied the supervisor, with a smile.
Mr.. Huntoon looked perplexed, and
then MIR. Miller explained. It appears
that the county allowed $50 for each cleo
ton board-that is, $40 for each man who
served AT the polling places on the mem
orable eth inst. In one precinct, how
ever, there were only six officers, and c.
Il. Adams, who drew the warrant for the
board, was the honest man who returned
the overdratt Of so to Mr.. Miller to re-
turn to the treasury.
AIr. HuntoOn lost his breath at the very
thought OF the county getting such treat
nfent and made an entry of il in his note
book as being one OF the remarkable in
cidents occurring under his observation.

BEHEADED IN PUBLIC,
A Blood-Curdling Execution
Yesterday In Paris.

PARIS, Dec. 16.-Eugene Cram
pom, the murderer of two men,
this morning paid the penalty
for his crimes, and the canaile
that gathered to see his sxecu-
tion greatly enjoyed the spec
tacle afforded by the miserable,
cowardly wretch as he was liter
ally carried to the guillotine. It
was generally known that the
execution would occur in the
Place de La Roquette this morn
ing, and long before daylight
the crowd began to gather.
Rude jests were banded about
and the usual scenes that make
disgraceful the carrying out of
the death sentence in Paris
were enacted.
Grim and awful the red gull
lotine looked up ahead of the
little party. Walking afoot
Crampon raised his eyes and
saw it. With a terrible shrek
he threw himself backwards
and fell to the ground. All
efforts to induce him to rise
were fruitless and he groveled
on the hagstones, begging most
piteously for his life.
1t became necessary to lift
Crampsn to his feet, but even
then he hung limp in their arms,
and they were compelled to
carry him to the guillotine.
While some of the assistants
supported him others quickly
bound him and threw him
against the bascule. Even then
he did not cease his struggles.
His contortions we're terrible
but they did not last long. The
bascule was dropped into place
and the assistants showed il
for ward until Cramp0ns neck
rested in position under the
knife. Silently and like a streak
of light, the bright blade
fell and Champions head
dropped into the open basket
awaiting it. The execution
was the most horrible enc that
has been witnessed in Paris in
many years.

Raise Your Meat.

Our exchanges are full of big
hog stories. Tho hogs are said
to weigh from 200 to 700 pounds
each. This is fresh evidence of
what is already known-that as
large hogs can bs raised in
North Carolina as anywhere in
the world
Very few of our farmers can
make any money under present
conditions, and the best thing
in tho world to do 10 10 raise
something TO eat and wear.
Meat can 30 bought at low
prices for cash ct any time, but
there 10 no cash 10 pay for it.
Hence the wissst thing to do IL
to raise il yourself. II you eau
raise one good hog, II will prove
a good thing for your family
You know whether the hog was
sick or well when killed. You
know the advantage Of having
backbones, ribs and sausage
Begin now buying pig, If you
have none, and raiss your owu
meat. This would be q gcod
topic fer discussion in your Al
lance, and is strictly non
partisan. ."-ProgressiTe Far
