his spine injured. The injury to his
spine is thought to have turned his brain.

In the civil suit of Plummer VS.. The
Express Judge Strout ruled in SUBJ
7tance that in the case of charge against
. public official relating to his official
conduct it was sufficient to constitute a
complete defense to show to the satisfac-
ton of the jury that the accusation was
honestly made in the belief that it was
true. and without malice. and that the
newspaper that made it had reasonable
grounds to believe it was true. Thai
certainly gives the newspapers all the
latitude they can reasonably ask sfor in
the criticism of public officials.

The ARDMOREITE is called |
upon 10 chronicle one of those /
crimes which are alas too fire.
quent in the South land and |
which serve more than all other
causes to keep the race feeling
at such a tension that race wars
and lynchings occasionally !
seem justified. I'm this instance,
while the woman belongs to the |
fallen, she is nevertheless ell
titled TO protection from such |
monsters as brutal Charles
johnson, the perpetrator of this
outrage, and If he is not lynched
before the trial comes off, his
life should pay The forfeit for
his foul crime by legal means
and methods.
The story of the crime is as
follows; Last night, acting
under instructions Of his en-
ployer, Judge A. Walcott, Char
les Johnson, a negro coachman
and general utility man, prepar-
ed To take Mr.. Haley, a guest
at the Walcott home, 10 the ear
/ ly morning train. Taking ad-
vantage of the fact that the
buggy and horse were 10 be US
ed, Johnson remained at the
barn until the family had retir-
eel for the night, when he quite
+ ~ slipped the rig ont about l a.

and over into East ArdmOrc.
I'm the section given over TO the
demi monde, lives Pearl McC or
mick, a rather attractive young
woman, very popular with her
associates and one of the well
known characters of the town.
To this woman Johnson present
ed note which he had written
and To which he had signed the
name of a prominent business
man. telling her To come To his
house and adding that he (John-
SOM would bring her in "a bug
gy. Pearl got into the buggy
and was driven tc the North
part OF town, near the old Pull
liam place, when Johnson sud
denly drew Il revolver and pre-
Seutug It at her head demanded
Of her 10 submit 10 his designs.
She refused, whereupon he
threatened her with instant
death. and terrified at the sight
OF The l.iStol and the ncgro's am
CRY words. she was dragged
from the buggy and Outraged.
. The negro then drove with her
back to her home, telling her
he would murder her If she eve,
men ioucd tine matter to anyone,
end more dead than alive, she
was left at her door step by the
black brute, who Immediately
proceeded To the home of NJ.

RYCROFT ON ROAD BUILDING
Advocates That Construction be
Carried Out by Contract.

MR.. EDITOR Il hear that the same
old system of "go as you please" is to
be resumed on the Puma road, which l
think will be a great mistake.
There are parties ready TO take con-
tracts for the whole road or any part of
it, and the contract system would in
sure US a road within some reasonable
time, and would be done cheaper than
the Government could build it by the
old method.
l would like to quote just here few
lines from the Scientific American of
July 10, 1896, from the United States
vetoed River and Harbor Bill:
There is one important feature of
the bill that has now become law which
will commend itself to all engineers
who have any practical experience in
river and harbor improvement. We re-
fer to the provision which it makes
for the letting Of the whole of a con-
templated scheme of improvement by
contract, and the authorization of the
expenditure of the whole SUN neces-
sary to carry it out. 1t is safe to say
that there is no department of public
works in which the old system of ex-
ecuting work by piecemeal has proved
more eXtravagant and wasteful than in
this. In river and harbor improvement
the eXigencies of the case generally de-
mand that the work shall be pushed
through with dispatch. To place
certain sum of money at the engineers
disposal and tell him to go ahead and
do as much as he can with it, is in some
cases to invite disaster. Moreover, the
intermittent system of work involves
the idleness and depreciation of a vast
amount of valuable plant, which under
the present arrangement will be kept
continuously at work"
Although this refers to the river and
harbor improvements in the United
States, it is particularly applicable to
our roads on Hawaii. The old way of
proceeding has proved both extrava-
giant and slow, and it is time some other
method was tried, if the Government
ever intends to give us roads, and
roads are the only thing that will de-
velop the country. 1t has been plainly
demonstrated that lands will be taken
up as fast as roads are built

WILL ADYERTISE FOR BIDS.

The Paving of West Chapel, Orange and

 At the special meeting of the board of public works last evening the city engineer was directed to advertise for bids for the paving with asphalt of West Chapel, Orange and Trumbull streets as per order of the court of com mon council. Notice will be given to- day and bidswill be opened next Thurs day.
 Patrick Kent and Charles Foster were appointed excavation inspectors at salary of $3 per day, when em- ployed.
 These appointments were made in view of there being ar extraordinary number of mains to be laid because of the new pavements ordered.
 The licenses of the plumbers who come under the Jurisdiction of the board having expired yesterday it was voted that Clerk Bassett be given pow CT to,renew them in cases where the re- quired bond was complied with
 About one-half of the old licenses have already been renewed.
 Superintendent of Parks Kelley re- ported that the work of spraying trees would begin in about a week.
 On motion Of Commissioner Hoyt ii was voted that each member of the board be furnished with a copy of the weekly payroll. This action was taken as a precaution against any deception being practiced upon the members by men who represent that they have not had an opportunity to work in the depart ment, when in truth their names were on the payroll but the week before.
