County Expects TO Build Twenty
Miles Of Gravel Pixies.
supervisor johnson u Now Repairing
the Cairo, Benton and HinkIc-
Vile Gravel Roads.
$4,000 TO BE SPENT THIS YEAR.

twenty miles of new gravel road
will be built this summer in Nc
Cracker county. II the plans of Road
Supervisor Bert Johnson material
ize
Supervisor Johnson now has quite
force of men repairing the gravel
roads that need II worst. and they
are getting them in fine shape.
They are at present working on
the Cairo. Hinkleville and Benton
roads. and will later so to other
-oads.
Supervisor Johnson says that he
xpects to do much less work on the
lirt roads this summer than usual.
II has become very evident TO county
officials that money spent on dirt
Dads is mostly wasted. while that on
gravel roads is largely economy.
~ hope to build at least twenty
miles of new gravel road this sum
mer." said Supervisor Johnson to-
day. The county has been building
gravel roads but year or two. and
Judge Lightfoot and Supervisor
Johnson once had plan whereby the
county paid a part and the property
owner a part for building gravel
roads. which would have given the
county many miles of good roads by
now. but the project was not taken
to kindly, and fell through,
Since then the county has been
making as many OF its roads of gray
Ell as possible, but the work is neoes-
sarily slow
The county will spend this year on
the roads, according to present esti-
mates. about $4,000, and most of
1t will so for gravel roads.
The county is putting in pipes in
place of many of the wooden cui-
verts. II makes a better and safer
road, and the expense is thought to
be well justified.
Yesterday three car loads of the
pipe to be used arrived, and there are
four more car loads coming. The
pipe will be placed as rapidly as the
weather will permit.

DEFENSE BEGINS
OTHER WITNESSES. INTRODUCED
IN THE HAEGIs CASE.
His Speech to the Jury Ruled out
by the Court and Not Allowed
to Go 20 Jury Yesterday.

Lexington. KY. April 2S.--The de
Tense in the Hargis case today intro
duced a number of character witness
es for the purpose of impeaching the
testimony of witnesses for the com
monwealth. The testimony will prob
ably close this week. tt
Judge Parker Interrupted the Har-
gis murder trial Yesterday afternoon
long enough to hear an affidavit set
ting forth the statement of the state s
attorneys that Breck Combes, acting
county Judge OF Breathitt county,
and friend of Judge II9rgis, had
cursed and abused "Anser White, a
state witness, calling him liar and
threatening him. The charge was
that Combes cursed White just out
side the door of the courtroom ye$
terday.
Judge Hargis before finally excus-
ed yesterday said in response to a
question that he had not told a news
paper man on one occasion that he
believed Cockrill was q desperate and
murderer thai any. community was
better off without him and that he
did not regret his assassination, but
he said that that was the way he
felt about It. --
He said he 'had. warrants issued
against himself and brothers at Jack
son in order to keep Fayette county
from getting jurisdiction over them.
At the close of his testimony Har-
gis asked the conrt'to allow him to
make a statement to the jury. His
counsel. objected but the court allow
ed the statement. Raising himself
to his full height. Judge Hargis fac
ed the jury and exclaimed as he
pointed ro''his wife and daughter sit
ting near:
just want TO say to these twelve
men that,I am not guilty of this
tlidf6ts anu IL Ntits i"NOuiu ht'ti
again ask that woman to call me
husband. or that child to call me
father"
Attorneys for the state instantly
objected and the court excluded the
statement from the jury except that
statement that he was not guilty.
King Ford was then called for the
defense and said he went to Hargis'
store. near the time that Cockrill
was shot and found Hargis asleep on
pile of mattresses. He awoke him
and told him Cockrill was in town.
The shooting occurred ten minutes
afterwards. He said that Curt Jet
came in while he was at the store.

There is nothing to prevent the
city's proceeding with the street i'm
provements and having them all well
under way in a short time. The con-
tract for Third street has been let,
and 1t is to be hoped the contractor
will get to work and show the people
what sure-enough contractor can
do in the way of street building.
There is great deal more work to do
in Paducah lin fact we are just get
ting well started on our era of pro-
gress, and the impression made in
reconstructing Third street may have
a great deal to do with getting 9TH
er work later II is doubtless the
wish of all good citizens that all the
street reconstruction will be pushed,
because the money is ready, interest
is being paid on IL, and until the
streets are rebuilt the city will not
be getting adequate returns for the
amount OF interest II is paying. Then.
good streets improve the looks OF
the city and make il attractive to
strangers. and also benefit the gener-
al public as only clean, level, hard
streets can.
