A LETTER ON
GOOD ROADS.
J. {. Lowdermilk Believes in Good
Road System,
Beneficial to Town. Country and the Public ii
General Takes Trade to Other Places that
Should Come to Prescott


To the People Of Prescott and
Surrounding Country.
Everybody talks good roads
and the papers print about good
roads, why not have them.
1 was down at Hope, Ark, /
81" trade come to Hope that
ought to come to Prescott, and !
asked why 1t was, and they told me
that they knew how to make good
roads for the people to come to-
town Oh. and ! told them, that
at the next 'Iecton we would
try and get a man that knows
how to make good roads, and
vote road tax.
GOOD roads are a stern necess-
NY m the progressive economy
OF town. The tact OF the bus
mess Is, good roads and paved
streets are the foundation OF a
town, not only IN d literal sense.
for the hte OF a town IS It's trade,
ITS traffic, Its bargains. Compe-
titlon IS the hte OF trade.
Hope knows now to draw trade
by making goods, No man will
travel IN mud when ne can get
a good road to travel, so the ear

gets the trade that Prescott ought
to have by having good roads.

secretary temporarily upon the
formation of the league, but he
resigned yesterday on account of
the press of other business. Mr..
Duley was then elected to fill the
vacancy.
The directors decided to rent
offices and a hall in which to
hold the meetings of the league
on the second floor Of the build
ing on the northeast corner of
Third and Main streets. These
rooms will be occupied by Secre-
tary Duley at once.
The Committee on State Fair,
which was appointed at the last
meeting Of the league, presented
a report to the effect that it had
been decided that it was too late
at this time to permit the hold
ing of a fair this year, but rec
commended that an organization
be effected with a view to hold
ing a fair next year. The report
was adopted by the directors and
the committee was instructed to
perfect plans for the fair and to
call a public meeting of mer-
chants, farmers and stock breed
erS of the state at some early
date for the purpose of perfect
ing an organization which will
carry out the plans for the fair
In view of the interest which
has been aroused by the an
nouncement Of the plans for the
fair it is believed that the enter
prise will be carried through sue
cessfuly.
1t was decided that the next
open meeting of the league should
be held on the night of April "a
in the new rooms at Third and
Main streets. Several speakers
of prominence from points out

of the jury, however, Ince was
sane when he committed the
crime, and he was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged on May
/ last. His attorneys then took
an appeal to the Supreme Court
and that tribunal remanded the
case forsa new trial and a further
inquiry into the question Of sani-
ty.
Ince was kept in the Danville
jail and came near escaping twice,
pending his appeal to the Supreme
Court. His second trial took
place last fall at Dardanelle and
after the exhaustion of every eff
fort by his able counsel he was
again adjudged guilty and given
the death sentence. Again he
appealed and the Supreme Court
this time affirmed the conviction.
This was in February and as
soon as the Supreme Courts
mandate was transmitted to him
Governor Davis fixed April 4 as
the day Of execution Of Ince. Eff
forts to secure a communication of
the death sentence proved un-
availing, the governor refusing
to interfere with the finding of
the courts. Since last fall Ince
has been confined in the peniten-
tiarv at Little Rock for safe
keeping and was taken to Dan
vile on Tuesday by Yell county
officers.
