In an old set of laws Of the Choctaw
Nation there Is q clause which relates
to the killing Of witches For witch
craft the penalty was death, and FOR
alleging oneself to be witch or for
saying that any other person was one

bare back.

In 1884 the Choctaw council passed
an net which made person who bar

was deported. An Indian who sold or

or to the United States In toto should

Benefits of Improved Roads,

1.-THE benefits from improved public
roads are so great" said u speaker al
the southern good roads convention
that 1t Is the utmost wisdom and
economy for n community TO issue
bonds or to levy taxes to build I'M
proved roads which can be used all the
year round, and these benefits are so
sure that the community will not feel
the tax bali so much as it now does
the taxes wasted on poor roads. In fact,
there will be no burden at all in pro-
viding them. No Panama canal, no
other proposition or enterprise will
have so much influence in the develop
ment Of the south as a system of good
roads. What such system means In

says the Scientific American. A sam
pie steel road stwo miles in length be-
tween Valentia and Grao, Spain, had
then been in use for five years under
exceedingly heavy traffic and had
shown splendid results. yet the United
States did not and has not as yet prof
lied by this experiment in an ordinari-
iy unprOgressive foreign country. and
we have today no steel roads for COM
mercial purposes save the short section

average traffic over this road Is 1900

But. aside from the permanenCy Of |
such a road and the slight expense CT !
Keeping 1t In repair. the grca test advan. |

and ten times rs much power to pull

This great reduction in power. and
