THE COUNTY ROADS.

Lafayette county is to be con-
graduated upon the fact that the
present Board of Supervisors are
continuing upon an up-to-date
system Of lettering the condi-
ton of the entire county affai ;.
In the past few years more good
bridges, levees and roads have
been built than in all the history
of the county.
The road question, the world
oSer, is now the greatest question
before the people; country can
not be said to be in a sound state
OF development until good roads
are built and maintained. How
70 build roads, at reasonable ex-
pense, an expense that can be
met without taxing the people
too much, Is the one question that
must be solved in the next few
years in Mississippi if she is to
progress. 1t is absolutely impos-
slble now to sell lands even as
far away from the railroad as ten
miles-the roads in winter are
we'll nigh impossible. So at last
It looks ike the time has come
when the always muddy place
must either be cross-wayed or
graveled. You say this will cost
money: that IS true, but 4 road
that Is solid for the entire year
will make your lands in the coun-
try from one to five times a
valuable, then if that be true we
can afford to have the good roads,
Some of the Delta counties
have issued bonds up into the
hundreds Of thousands for road
purposes; why not our people
get busy too? As it is We car
not progress. Shall we leave
posterity our most terrible sys-
TEN OF roads? Let every tax
payer in the county Cooperate
with the Board and with each
o.her a. To the solution of this
greatest Of modern problems.

Federal Court adjourned Mon
day morning and We have heard
many compliments upon the able
and business like management Of
Judge Niles. This distinguished
citizen. in the administration of
his court work, grows stronger
each year. His charge to the
Srand Jury this session was a
splendid lecture that every citizen
should have heard. 1t was in
short, an appeal for noble, up-
right living and a forcible pre-
sensation that a violation of the
law, in any way, brings shame.

certain, but he is ever mercifuI

Federal Court.

Federal Court adjourned Mon
day morning after having been
an session seven days. Nothing.
however, was done on Monday
except To see that all the records
were correct. The Grand Jury
adjourned Saturday after having
returned - true bills. Several
small criminal eases were SUBJ
mitted and the only case Of much
Importance on the criminal dock
ct was that Of the United States
-. ". X. Herrin, Of Tunica
County, charged with peonage.
The defendant submitted the ease
and was fined, but the sentence
vas held up until the next term

who reside near Burgess, plead
guilty to using the mails for
fraudulent purposes. Mr.GIl-
iner would use changed names of
his children and others. in send
ing orders to mail orders houses

GIlmer was sentenced to the At
,anta penitenuary for one year
and one day, but Judge Niles
changed the sentence to six
months in the Oxford Jail, and
Mrs. Gilmer was fined SD and all
costs IN the case. The fraud was
hnearthed by Postoffice spectcr
Leonard.
Only two important cival mat
tors were disposed of, one of these
being W. 4. Herr, administrator.
-. The Frisco Railway for the
killing Of young Herr. This case
was heard, about two days being
consumed in the trial vi it, and
the court, after hearing the case
charged peremptorily in favor Of
the railroad. The other import
ant case was that Of j. NJ. ffic-
glnbottOrn, administrator vs.. The
Illinois Central Railroad for the
killing Of Durwood Hisgiubottom
IN the yards at Water Valley in
1900. Two days We're consumed
IN this trial and the jury rendered
verdict IN favor OF the plaintiff
IN the sum Of s. 600. Every
phase II the ease was sharply
contested and because the issue
was purely a question of fact and
the jury having resolved that in
favor Of the plaintiff. the plaintiff
