NEGROES SHOT By
ARKANSAS MOB
Difference Between White and
Colored Men Leads to
. Race War.

Dewitt, Ark, March 26.-Five ne
groes, who have been arrested as re-
suit of the race troubles at st. Charles
this county, were taken from the
guards>last night by a crowd of men
and shot to death. This makes nine
negroes that have been killed within
the past week in the vicinity of ST..
Charles on account Of racial troubles
: A few days ago a quarrel began over
a trivial matter at st. Charles between
a white man named Searcy and two
negroes, named Henry and Walker
Griffin. They wounded the Searcy
brothers, assaulted the deputy sheriff
clared that mo white man could ar
rest Them ...-
Wednesday morning, Constable L. G..
McNeeley went forward with a posse
to capture the Griffin negroes. Three
negroes Randall Flood, Will Bald
win, VIII Madison-when asked where
the Griffins were replied that they
would, tell no white man." and then
attempted to draw their pistols but
the posse fired, killing all three of
them. =
Yesterday, while the posse was
searching for the Griffins, a negro
named Aaron Sinton fired from am
bush and hit three Of the posse, but
was shot down, dying instantly.
Charles Smith, NJ. Baldwin, Abe Bal
ley and Garrett Flood, who had defed
the officers were arrested and last
night crowd Of men took them from
the guards and shot them to death.
It is reported that the Griffin boys
have been captured. If so it probably
means that two more .egroes will be
killed. Everything at st. Charles at
this time is quiet but the town is heav-
lily guarded.

MILLIONS ARE WASTED.
Expense of Worthless Repairs W0uls'
i'm Almost Every Instance
Build Good Roads.

Some months ago the people of Sac
ramento county, CAL, voted to issue
bonds for road construction purposes;
but, owing to possible defect in the
law, the matter is in the courts for
adjudication. Not long after, San
Mateo county voted on the same ques-
ton and decisively rejected it. It is
said that this result indicates shat
the people generally are not willing
to bond their credit. for the purpose
of constructing good roads" and that
if improvements are to be made in
the highways, some 9th method fof
providing means for it must be: found.
In an exhaustive address on the sub
ject, Engineer j. Il. Price, of the state
highway commission, recently consid-
cred the matter in detail and showed
what could be accomplished if the
less repairs should be devoted to
building permanent roads. In this re-
spect, California may be taken as
sample of nearly every. state. the same
considerations applying to all.
Mr.. Price found that every county
spends from $50 600 to $50, 900 in repairs
each year; that for II years prior to
1898, the total was $17,959, ,717.94. or a
yearly average of $1,623, ,7O1; but, as
there are other expenditures not in.
cluded in these figures, he considers
the annual outlay to be s2,00O,OO0. and
there are no improvements in the roads
to show for it.
If this outlay is continued for 40
years, the amount expended would
reach $4,000, 900, and this sum would
pay for. the construction of 10000
miles of good macadam, costing S., ,OOC.
a mile. There are in the state about
$4,000 miles of roads, and to macadam-
ize one-quarter of them, or > 1900

miles, would satisfy the commercial
needs of the state; hence, within 4C
years, not only could this enormous
amount of macadam be laid, bu,
enough money be left over to make the
necessary repairs. Hard roads con.
structed in this manner would come
slowly, but they would come in time,
and it might prove that when the
people began to realize what they
gained from them, they would find
it worth while toissue bonds in order
to hasten the improvements.
The practice of erecting wooden
bridges, culverts and sdrainways, Mr.,
Price finds as wasteful as present
methods of road repair. On the basis
of the expenditures of the last eight
years, the outlay for the next 40 years
would be $2,s47 900, and this for re.
pairs alone, and yet with this sum he
says he can build stone, concrete or
sewer-pipe drains and steel bridges
where necessary on all the roads in
each county named"
To illustrate this, masonry can be
constructed at cost of from S. to $e
per cubic yard; concrete for about the
same. Sewer-pipe can be laid in place
for from 60 cents to SITS per ineal
foot, according to. the bore Of the
pipe. A three-foot culvert with three
foot walls will contain .6s of a cubic
yard per running foot; a four-foot cul.
vert three feet high, CT of cubic
yard; five-foot culvert, four feet high,
90 of cubic yard, without wings; q
fve-foot culvert, with fve-foot side
walls, 1.15 cubic yards. Then let q
culvert be "a feet long, five feet high,
with span of five feets it will cost, at
s6 per yard, $165.60, containing 27.6
cubic yards of masonry. The same
span placed with lumber cannot be
constructed for less than 500, and fire.
luently costs as much as the stone
structure. The wooden structure lasts
from five to ten years, while the con-
crete or masonry lasts forever"
The erection of permanent struc-
lures will, Gin the course of time, close
this leak in the road funds of the state.
1t is source Of expense that, in q
period of 20 or 80 years, may be entire
y obliterated if the proper course be
pursued. This would give you more
money to put stone upon your roads.
We had better start at the foundation
and come up, rather than build from
he top down to the foundation. And
your foundations are not complete
without permanent sub-structures."-
