DekaIb County Wants Neither Good
 Roads Nor Special School Tax.

Ft. Payne, August 10.-(Special.)-An election was held in this county Tuesday for the purpose of determining whether the county should issue bonds to build pike roads or not. It has been a very warm contest, with able speakers on both sides. The unofficial returns showed that there were only 4s5 votes for bonds and 1542 against bonds, and one more beat to hear from. The people have decided by an overwhelming majority that they would have no bonds issued. The county Is practically out of debt. This year will finishing paying off the s3o,0OO of bonds issued fifteen or sixteen years ago for the purpose of building the court house. It is generally conceded that we have the best bridged county in the state, consd- ering the many dangerous water courses in it.
 The school tax law which was also voted for on that day lost. It received a ma jority vote, but 1t requires three-ffths before it passes. The people were so stirred up on the bond issue question that the school tax became a secondary matter

PUBLISHER IN JAIL
 CHARGED WITH LIBEL
Robert Irving Is Committed to the Tombs as He Is About to Leave
 for Newport.

New York, August 10-Robert Irving. publisher of the New Yorker, was ar- rested today charged with criminal libel He was about to start for Newport. Irv- ing was taken at once to the criminal court house, arraigned before Magistrate Breen in default of s1o,0oo bail and was locked up in the Tombs.
 The complainant is Congressman Rhi- mock of Covington, Ky, who some weeks ago caused the arrest of Robert w. Cris- well, editor of the New Yorker, on a similar charge Criswel subsequently met with a tragic death beneath sub way train.
 The charge against Irving grows out of the same article upon which the prose- cution of Criswell was based. The article censured Representative I.ongworth of Ohio for introducing MT. Rhinock to Miss Alice Roosevelt during the visit of the Presidents daughter to the Latona races near Cincinnati.

HAS BEEN VERY ANNOYING

Atlanta, August 10.--Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton associa- tion. today telegraphed Col. E. S Peters. vice president of the association, demand ing his resignation. President Jordan said:
 T have wired Vice President Peters demanding his resignation and have sus- pended him as an officer of the Southern Cotton association. The public utterances of Colonel Peters through the press, as vice president of the association, and his actions in Washington clearly indicate that he Is not in harmony with the pres ent efforts of the association concerning the full and complete investigation of the bureau of cotton statistics and other divisions of the department of agrlcul- ture.
 Before taking definite action I desired the endorsement of the executive com mittee. l wired the information to each member, and of nineteen replies, eighteen emphatically authorized the demand for his resignation. Five members of the committee were absent from home and could not be reached"
 Col. E. s. Peters was elected vice presi- dent of the association at its organiza- ton by the New Orleans convention last January. His home is at Calvert, Tex.

 AMENARIE TO REASON.

Both the Louisiana and Texas authori- ties are more amenable now to reasona- ble quarantine and the governor hopes to assist all who want to get away. Com munication is still going on with the Mis- sissippi authorities and there is reason to believe that they will shortly enable Dr. White to open camp through which peo- pie may enter points in that state.
 One of the curious incidents of the day was an incipient strike of employees Of the citizens sanitary department. It occurred in the Thirteenth ward. Here tofore there have been as many men ap- nlvine for jobs as could be taken care of They were glad to work for s1 50 day. The Thirteenth ward force, however, be- lieyed it saw an opportunity to obtain a raise" They struck for g. The citizens committee refused to pay more and new force was engaged.

LOWER DEATH RATE
 JUDGMENTS HOPEFUL FEELING.

With the death rate remaining lower than in previous visitations of the fe- yer the feeling here both among the health authorities and the laity continues hopeful. The fever has been prevalent long enough to have assumed quite vir- ulent type, but instead 1t is apparently less malignant than it was when 1t first appeared and the doctors believe that If the first cases could have been taken hold of at once and subjected to proper treat ment the total of deaths would have been considerably smaller than has been now recorded. Many of the cases which are now being reported except among the Italians, are mild in character and readily respond to the treatment given them. However though the conditions present n favorable aspect, the physicians realize that two months or more remain during which the disease may have to be combat ed and they are unwilling to express an opinion at this time as to the scope 1t may take later on. If there is no rapid enlargement of the death rate within the next two weeks they will be encouraged to believe that with all the conditions favorable. when the fever was discovered, for A rapid spread and amost serious endemic New Orleans will escape with a relatively insignificant loss of life. That will be due in large part to the remark able work which has been done in few weeks in the matter of mosquito destruc- ton and to the fact that practically the whole upper section of the city has avoid ed the infected area.
