GOOD ROADS.

Good roads agitation is up again,
and tits well. We are glad of it
there can't be too much done along
this line. Nothing benefits a com
munity so much as good roads, and
certainly no one thing benefits a
town 40 much as TO have good
roads leading into it from different
points. We would -ather pay taxes
to make good roads than for any
thing else except good schools; for
good schools will result in good
roads.
Every township and road district
in the country shonId take up the
good roads matter and never let up
on it until ever, main Travelled road
is put in frat class condition.
Any thinking man knows that
with good roads the farmer can
haul from 80 to 100 per cent more at
load when he is going to market,
than he can on poor road, and be-
sides there is not half the wear and
tear on team, wagon and harness,
aud he can make better time.
Again he would keep his religion
intact-that means something.
Another thing-it means an in
creased and added value to his land
Ito every piece of land adjacent to
good roads.
Keep the good roads movement
alive-very much alive.

liere took the knife back, closed it
and put it in his watch pocket.
Strange to say the jury got OAR
denne's testimony mixed up with
that of Armstrong, whose testimo-
ny is referred to above. But this
mistake on their part can never be
corrected-Valliere, good citizen,
is dead and Mech is free.
The fact is that when Da rdenne
had pulled the cork he put the open
knife in his pocket. which had a
hole in it, and it fell through and
dropped just where it was found
after Valliere had received the fatal
blow, but this Judge Glasse did not
permit to go in testimony, when
objected to by the defendant. This
was the most vital point in the case
and the Jurors say it would have
changed the result"
ut is thought by some that the
fact Valliere was an Indian had
some bearing on the case, but if
this is true, it is unfortun ate, in
deed. 1t is also stated that the jury
requested certain testimony re-read,
but was refused.
1.-THE testimony of L. C. Jones wac
strongly in favor of Mech, but on
cross examination he stated that he
was the justice who bound Mech
over, and that he was thereafter
employed to help him get testi-
mony."
Judge Glass had fixed Meech's
bond at 5000, which seems ont of
proportion with Al. Lanes bond,
which he placed at $4,000.

IN GOOD SHAPE.

While the cattle market has gone
all to pieces, and the big handlers
of cattle have suffered severe losses
yet the little fellows, the farmers, OF
this section, are in pretty good
shape. Most every farmer in this
vicinity has from Is to 40 head OF
cattle, and, aside from few cows
the cattle are young. There is
bound to be money in young cattle

bunch of young cattle, and II they
do 90 they are almost certain to
make good money.
Don't be In q hurry TO rush your
young cattle to market. Instead OF
doing that, you would better buy q
few more head, if you have feed
enough to carry them over to grass.

MAKE THEM WORK.

We heard fellow remark the
other day that he would az soon go
to Jail for the winter az not. That
put us to thinking that perhaps
there are good many fellows just
like him. In Jail they would be
warm, have good food, and outside
of confinement would have a good
time. This is not as it should be.

the county prisoners to earn their

The roads of Cherokee county
need works lot of II. The Law
gives the county commissioners
the right to make county prisoners
work. Why don't the commission
ers exercise that right? What In
the name of common sense lie the
use of feeding about forty fellows
at the expense of the people? II
would be . better plan to farm the
prisoners out-that is, put them to
work on the roads. Let one town
ship have the prisoners a given
length of time, and then send them
to some other township. Pass the
gentlemen around and give the
whole county the benefit of their
services. Some may say the ex.
pense of moving them would
amount to all their work would, but
such is not the case.
At any rate, a man would hesitate
about breaking into Jail if he knew
he was going to have to work out
his board on the public highways.
Besides, our proposition would
have tendency to decrease crime.

CRAWLING BEGINS.

Spring river bridge and the Star

Monday morning and is being rap

THE MECH CASE.

Dennis Mech has been acquitted
by the jury for the killing of Val
liere. The following resume of the
testimony has been furnished US
by a Colum bus correspondent:
"Abe Saulters, the best witness
for the state, was gone and could
not be found, although Jno. Jones
made every possible effort to locate
him, the state had all the testimony
of John Payne and VIM. Dardenne,
except some of the latter's, which
was arbitrarily kept out by the
court as stated below. 1t will be re-
membered that Payne gave no test
imony and Dardenne but little at
the other trial. Messrs. Brewster,
Hixon, Payne, Hartley and Douty
testified that after Hartley had ia
ken Mech to the northwest corner
of the barn to keep trouble down,
Mech rushed back to Valliere, who
was at the southeast corner of the
wareroom, assaulted Valliere and
finally hit him with the rock which
caused his death. Most of them
swore that Valliere had nothing in
his hands. Hixon, who wac a wit
ness for the defendant, testified that
Mech was a step south of Valliere's
feet when he picked up the rock
and threw il at Valliere, who was
living on his back with his head to
the north and slightly raised.
Mech contradicfed all of the above
Witnesses and stated that at this
time Dardenne and Valliere were
both6 -ghting him with knives.
Armstrong swore that he saw Val
liere and Dardeune q while before
the trouble down near the Fribley
building, Valliere with knife and
Dardenne with q knife or razor, he
did not know which; that Valliere
put his knife In his watch pocket
and Dardenue PIT his to his coat
pocket .after which time they
both went down 10 Dents corner.
Dardenne denied this and testifed,
that when MeeiH came around 10
where he, vaiiiese and ssuiters

gave him his knife with which he
pulled the cork from the bottle,

Won Liebig was skillful In correcting
popular decisions on scientific subjects.
A notable example of this may be
found in the overthrow of the once
much discussed theory of '~'spontane-
Gus combustion" a comparatively mod
ern error, dating, ii seems, only from
the year 1926, but which persisted long
after Lavoisier had explained the real
nature of fire, which was from time to
time put forward with success in the
defense of persons on trial for murder
and received its last support from
Charles Dickens. His success in this
direction throws a pleasant light on
the progress of civilization. One won
ders what would have been the fate of
Won Liebig had he opposed himself to
such an error in the sixteenth century
when Kepler could only save his moth
err from going TO the stake for witch
craft by satisfying her judges that she
possessed none of the signs essential
to a witch. In those days Kepler did
not dare to say that there were no
such things as witches.-W. A. Shen-

PhrenoIOEy.

Phrenology Is usually thought to
have been first expounded by Gall and
S%purZheim and TO be a comparatively
modern so called science" But it
can be traced back to the sixteenth
century at least, for in a book pub
lished at that time by 'Mayster Jhe-
rome of Bruynswicke" is a profile of
a head on which are most distinct
ly marked chronological attributes.
Imaginative" occupies the place now
given on the charts to 'ideality;' -
fantasia" takes the place of the mod
ern 'marvelousness,' ~"estimantia" OF
''constructiveness,' while "cogitan-
tia" is given instead of ''hope." The
author states that the brain hath cells
or chambers, and each cell contains a
part of the understanding, and that
these parts may be expressly seen in
the figure of the head. Phrenologists
can at least disclaim against their
beliefs being newfangled. - London
