 MER ORDER.
No Rewards are to he Paid Without
 Convictions-iWiIl Not Pay f0- Meals of Election Managers.

| of Montgomery county the county will no longer pay rewards for convictions in justice of tho peace court of persons 1 found guilty of shooting across the public road. Hereafter, in order for a person to secure the reward of s5J l in such cases, the violator must have been. indicted by the grand jury and convicted in the city court of Mont- gomery.
 The matter was brought to the at tention of the Board by W. D, Brown a member, who commented on the method heretofore in vogue in which he said some cases had been brought to his notice of which he did not ap- prove. He introduced the following resolution which was adopted: Tt is ordered by the Beard that the order heretofore passed ~ffering re- ward for the. arrest and conviction of persons shooting across the public roads be amended by adding thereto the following No reward will hero after be paid under this resolution ex- l cent in cases where the violation bF the law is reported to the grand jury and an indictment found and the de. fendant is convicted in the city court !" l Before the Board meeting was closed, a communication certified to by the clerk of the city court, was l received requesting the -yment of a $50 reward to Tom Moore, who was i instrumental in the conviction of such ] q case in the city court. The Board ordered the reward paid.
 Clerks and managers of Tuesdays eIectiony' who served tn the city poll l Ing booths. had wholesome dinners on that day but who will pay for the meals has not been decided. Tn. Board yesterday declined to appropri- ate any funds to pay for these meals. being shown to the Board that there | is no law authorizing such an appro- priation.
 l The matter was brought before tho | Board in a communication read by President Houghton. Dr. Duncan said l he desired to go on record as against the payment of such money. He look I ed on 1t as a sort of discrimination in favor of the election officers in the city. If the officers In he country prHtncts could arrange to get their i dinner. he didn't see why the city officers couldn't do the same thing. The Board, after some discussion, | passed to other business without dis 1 posing of the matter.
 4 petition. signed by a number of citizens, asked that 400 yards of road near the depot at Ramer be graveled and, after discussion, the Board agreed to furnish the gravel and deliver 1t at Ramer, providing the work shall be done under the supervision of tho county engineer.

A resolution, offered by Dr. Duncan, was adopted directing the courFty en- gineer to have mile stones and slgn boards placed on the Carter Hill, the Wire, the Rocky Mount and the Ada and Banner roads.
