DELINQUENT MEETS DEATH
Deputy Sheriff Coward Forced to Kill
W. Barrett Lamb.

Deputy Sheriff Ben L. Coward shot
to death w. Barrett Lamb at Lake
Cormorant last Tuesday afternoon.
Refusal on the part of Lamb to pay
his road tax was the foundation of the
trouble that eliminated in the TRACE
dy.
Itseems that Lamb had an aversion
to paying taxes, and escaped that duty
last year. When notified several weeks
ago that he was again delinquent he
became abusive and had since sworn
he would never pay the amount, and
is alleged to have made threats against
the officer.
Tuesday Coward again attempted to
obey the law, which provides for the
arrest of delinquent road hands and
Lamb is said to have made move as
though to draw a gun and the officer
opened fire.
Coward was given a preliminary
hearing before Justice McG Gowan We'd
nesday and promptly exhonerated.
Lamb is timber man and has been
at Lake Cormorant for several years,
being originally from Kentucky.

The Farmers Union Department. of
the cotton schools now open atMem-
phis. This school was organized and
opened July 8th Of last year. a large
number took advantage of the oppor-
tunity and learned to grade COTTON,
several farmers attended for no other
purpose but to know how to grade
their cotton. If all farmers knew
more about the grBdes, better prices
ewonld be realized for this product:
they could then tell when they were
being offered the mBrket price.
To attend this school, Farmers
Union has only to show certificate
from his local, signed by his secretary
and he is admitted at the regular I'M
ion rates. This entities him to a full
course OF both long and short staple,
mathematics, penmanship, CONNER
cial law and ware house receipting.
Non Uuion pupils may attend this
school.
The school is the old Leddin Busi-
ness College, established in 1854, and
has added the cotton to the regular
courses.

Whereas, it has been brought to the
attention of the Board that the peo-
pie of some communities in the coun-
ty have expressed a willingness to
share in the expense of grayeling, or
otherwise improving certain roads,
which appeared to require "a higher
degree Of care and more expensive
character of work than is bestowed
by the contractors, and the Board
being desirous of encouraging such a
movement, in so far as the law per-
mits. Now therefore it is resolved
by the Board that when any group Of
people living adjacent to any piece
of road which apparently cannot be
kept in good repair by the usual
methods will pay into the county
treasury any given sum of money,
the Board will supplement such fund
with an equal amount. Such fund to
be known as the special road fund,
and to be expended on the road des-
ignated. The work to be done under
the legal control of the Board, but
with the cooperation of any person
or persons named as committee by

the Board reserves the right to use
its discretion as to whether such i'm
provements is advisable, and whether
the condition Of the treasury will JUS
tify the expenditure.
