THE Herald has always favored
any and every enterprise that would
be of benefit to the business men
of this city and the valley, and it
sticks to that line of policy in its
advocacy of the ad mission of the
dummy road to a desirable ter
minal in this city, which will I'M
sure the construction Of the road
into Mesa City, to the great bene-
fit OF the property owners of that
city. Our city council has made a
mistake in not granting the fran
chise. They can so modify the
proposed ordinance as to require
construction and operation to be
promptly Eegun a.ld to provide
noiseless motors and as little an
noyance to property owners as oc-
ours along the line of electric street
cars. The benefits to the city and
valley will not only be large but of
the greatest Importance TO the de-
velopment of Mesa, Tempe and
Phoenix. 1t is to be hoped the
City council will reconsider the
matter.-Pioenix Herald.

GRADUATION EXERCISES AT THE
NORMAL SCHOOL.


various institutions OF learning.
Last night the class of '9l made it's
bow and has become the heir of
future ages. The exercises were
held at the Baptist church which
was crowded to overhowing, several
hundred people being turned away.
The class of '94 consisted of
Misses Nellie Mcneil, Nettie V.
Clay, Agnes Dobbie, Myrtle Alpin,
Anna Stewart, Ellen Sanders, Ida
Woolf, Blanche Newell, Ina
Pomeroy, Adine Bury and Allie
Gray, Messrs. Leroy r. Hill, J. F.
Birchett and John Nets.
The program, although of con
siderable length, was interesting
TIN ouyhout. The ladies' band fur
nished music for the oc casion. The
exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. Fred. Sheldon, of the Nj E
Church.
Miss Stewards salutatory essay,
"Arizona as She Was" was a
mastery review Of prehistoric times
and happy comparison was Miss
| Newell's essay entitled "Arizona as
She Is"
In most logical grafton John
Nets treated "rhe Relation Of Col.
iege to Business Life"
Agnes Dobbie's essay on "The
Labor Question" was undoubtedly
one of the ablest efforts of the
evening. Her arguments were
clear and forceful.
"Drifting" was q delightful
blending of happy thoughts by Ida
Woolf in pleasing description of
life's voyage
Ina Pomeroy displayed consider
able literary ability in her essay
upon the life and works of Mrs
Browning.
Nettie Clay in an grafton entitled
"To Thine Own Self be True
proved herself an -eloeutionist of nc
mean ability. Her eloquent attack
upon king alcohol drew forth warm
applause.
Owing to illness Mr.. Joseph Bir-
chett was unable to deliver his
grafton upon the subject of "Gov
ernmen5 Progress.
In a pleasing astronomical com
position Adine Bury describes a
trip to the moon anu gives as "The
Reason Why" everything in the
moon is in such a disordered state
is owing to the fact that the man
in the moon is bachelor.
Myrtle Alpin in an able essay
upon +" Individuality in Govern :
mcnt" proved herself to be an able
reasoner.
Nellie Mcneil handled the sub
ject of "Irrigation" in a mannel
that would have turned an immi-
grafton solicitor green with envy
Her review of the history Of irri-
cation was interesting as we'll as
instructive.
Leroy F. Hills oration on "The
| Crime of Capital Punishment
was a splendid effort and fully JUS
titled the expectations of his friends.
Allie Gray in "Class History
drew forth many compliments and
her number was one of the strongest
of the evening.
Ellen Saunders, the valedictorian
proved that the honor had not been
lightly bestowed. H4r rem ,rks
were timsly and the easy grace of
her manner was admired by all.

the law allows them TO so elect, and
compels me to accept II.
Some leader OF that night meeting
secured OF Sheriff Lewis a statement
OF the sums paid into the county
treasury by me or convicts during 1899.
This statement was very f~iattering
to our Board and myself. Why was 1t
not read TO the meeting? Where ig-
n0rance IL bliss 1t Is folly to know the
facts, as facts would have spoiled the
enthusiasm.
l learn that there was an effort by
some Of the orators to sire the color
cd heart" by saying that had
been severe or the cOlOrcd
brother. Now, the Justices books,
the warrants OF detention, and my
books show out OF all those in default
as road hands, less than fifty per cent
ever worked or paid their fines and
cost. The young man, Charley EN-
mersOn, who the speaker said had
paid fourteen dollars because he was
delinquent fifty cents, was let OH II he
would pay the fifty cents and a small
cost, and as a fact has never paid
either. My mail is full OF petitions
from negroes in Jail begging me to
take them out and work them. 1t
costs me from IS to $l5 to take a con
Wet, and they have, as a rule, run
away In less than ten days. II those
at the meeting will call at my convict
kitchen at any time, and that without
notice, they can get a better meal
than nine-tenths Of them are used to
at home. AS a matter OF fact, l have
only n convict ut work who Is q de-
faulting road hand, and he, like the
most Of his class, Is sick with an un-
mentiOnable disease. / offered to pay
his way to Mobile II he would leave,
but he begged to stay. II any OF his
protectors want him they can have
him.
All acts In reference to cOnyicts and
delinquent road hands are matters OF
court record. Anyone can refer to
these to know the facts. Now, fellow
citizens, will you do this, Or will you
continue to get your information sec
Ond handed.
In conclusion, I will say that ! do
not know the views OF Messrs. Denny,
Dantzler, Robinson, Bloomfield, Grit
fin, Blumer, and others of our largest
tax payers. yet l am more than will
ing for all their employees to be advised
by them In this matter. These large
tax payers were conspicuous by their
absence, both at the night meeting

Editor Democrat Star:

Editor Democrat Star:
The authors OF the night meeting
and long resolutions, urging the
masses to resist the law rs laid down
IN section 1880 of our code, are welcome
to all the honors that may come to
them therefor. Yet this way of test
ing the legality Of a matter, seems to
re, Is laying down a bad precedent.
Judgements founded on exparte exam.
nations are universally condemned by
courts of justice.
This meeting and long resolutions
demand Of our Board Of Supervisors
that they rescind my contract. Some
OF these same parties caused a former
Board to rescind a similar act, yet the
supreme court reversed them. Our
laws say there must be at least two
parties to any contract, and 1t gen.
orally takes three or more to rescind
one, unless by mutual consent. Abro-
eating a contract Is generally a judi
cial matter, and not left to the sweet
capriccs Of ones left-handed friends.
After your overworked printers have
set up all those long resolutions, 1t
would be cruel to compel them to set
up my answer. For this reason /
enter here a general denial Of every
allegation made In the resolutions,
and by the speakers at the night meet
Ing, and now invite each and every
one Of them TO meet me before the
Board on the first Monday In March,
when l will sustain my denial.
l wish now to say, however, that II
the deluded followers OF these great
protectors OF liberty" will read Sec
tions 1905, 3006 and 1913 OF our code,
and my contract flied Ia clerks Office, |

worked any or very little during the
time said contractor has had charge
OF said roads.
10. That the said contractor disre-
CARDS the ROAD hands complaint to re-
pair the roads when out Of repair, nor
will he pay any attention to the con-
dillon Of the roads until 1t suits his
convenience.
II. We, therefore, resolve not to
pay any more road fees to the said NJ.
A. Dees under his present contract.
We further resolve TO take all neces-
sary legal steps to keep from paying
said Decs any further road tax and to
test the validity Of his said contract
for said public roads IN district No. 3.
We further state, and charge that
DIR. J. X. Mcleod, member of the
Board OF Supervisors from district
No. 3, has utterly failed to do his duty
as such Supervisor in not reporting
the said NJ. A. Dees, road contractor,
for neglect In keeping up and repair
ing all public roads In district No. 3,
although 1t Is VIGOROUSLY known that
many Of the public roads Of district
No. 3 are now. and have been for
many weeks, in extremely bad condi-
tion and out Of repair, and that said
j. X. Mcleod has been personally
notified OF the condition OF said roads
and he fails and neglects to report
said NJ. A. Dees to the Board OF Super
visors or to have said roads repaired
and kept In order.
We pledge ourselves to raise means
for defraying the cxpensee OF contest
ing the said contract Of NJ. A. Dess as
made by the Board Of Supervisors at
the December term, 1892, of the Board
OF Supervisors OF Jackson county.
We have patiently borne the heavy
tax imposed upon US by the Board Of
Supervisors, hoping that our public
roads In our district would be greatly
Improved, but after waiting over one
year without seeing this improve
ment. we resolve to fight the unjust
imposition to the bitter end, and call
on all good people to aid us.
We further request the Board Of
Supervisors Of Jackson county,
Mississippi, at the March term,
1894, to cancel said contract with
M. A. Dees for working the pub
lie roads Of district M. 3, and hereby
notify the said NJ. A. Dees that we
will demand Of the Board of Super.
visors ut the meeting on the lst Mon.
day in March, 1894, to cancel his said
contract.
We hereby recommend the chair to
appoint a committee of fifteen to pre-
sent this matter to said Board at its
next meeting and, also take charge
and look after and take all necessary
legal steps required to annul said
contract.
We requst the DEMoCRAT-STAR to
publish the proceedings OF this meet
