ALL IS QUIET
IN FRANKLIN
NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FEUD.
Feeling of Unrest Which Has Pre-
vailed at MeadviIle is Gradually
Becoming Easier and Hopes
Are Eentertained That
Trouble is Over.

JACKSON, June 26.-According to
the best information at hand here,
there is nothing definitely settled as
to the special sitting of Judge Wilkin-
son as a magisterial court to investi-
gate and place the responsibility for
the deadly battle of last Monday week
on the streets of Meadville. 1t is UNI
derstood to be the intention of Judge
Wilkinson to hold the sitting as soon
as all the parties involved who will
survive can be brought into court but
just when this will be is indefinite.
Meanwhile there is a canvass on for
the office of chancery clerk to succeed
DR.. Newman, and this is expected by
some to reopen some of the wounds
and irritate afresh the sores exist
ing in consequence of the former
feudist outbreaks. In fact, it seems
that some of the Oldest settlers in
that community are contemplating To-
eating amid more peaceful and attrac-
tive environments.
Notwithstanding the murmurings or
rumors of murmurings as to what
might or might not happen, the chief
executive states that he feels rather
hopeful that there will be no more
outbreaks, and is not inclined to be-
lieve that the canvass for chancery
clerk will precipate matters. He
assumes that there are enough good
men in Franklin county to consti-
tute safe and sane leadership, and
by their counsel and influence bring
order and peace out of chads and fac
tionalism. Governor Noel stated yes
terday that he had had no recent COM
munication with Judge Wilkinson, but
he understands. that as soon as all the
wounded men are able to appear in
court and the presence of the man
BOYD is secured that the investigation
will be held. His Information is that
Boyd is still at large, or rather that
he has not been arrested. though the
is that he is in Franklin
or near there, and that he can
be reached when wanted

also includes EXPRESS. telegraph and

The direct connection between
good roads and the value of farm
lands is shown in striking manner
in Bulletin No. SO of the U. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture. This Bull
letin gives the results of an investi-
cation by the Office of Public Roads
of that Department relating to pub
lie road mileage, revenues, improved
roads, and expenditures in the
United States in the year 1904, and
the information contained therein is
of great importance in connection
with the movement on behalf Of the
systematic improvement of the pub
JIG highways.
The returns from various States
show that in nearly every case the
States hav'r ne highest percentage
If improved roads have the largest
population per mile of road, thus
showing that better roads are pow
erful factor in encouraging the set
Element of unused lands, especially
in sparsely populated sections of the
country. Good roads are also an
important influence in retaining in
the farming districts the desirable
elements who might otherwise drift
into the towns and cities. AS the
price of farm lands depends on their
productivity, accessibility to mar
kets, and population engaged, or de-
string to engage, in agricultural pur-
suits, it follows that road improve
ment, by attracting additional set
tiers, and giving them better facili-
ties for reaching their markets,
directly tends to increase the values
of all farm lands within the radius
of the roads improved.
A comparison of the percentage of
improved roads of the various States
shows that the average persentage
of the improved roads in all States
where farm land is worth less than
$4,000 per acre is only 10 per cent.
whereas in the States where the
acreage value is more than $4,000,
improved roads constitute an average
of 9 per cent of the total mileage.
While there may be minor causes
of variations in the value of farm
lands it is an undoubted fact that as
a general rule the higher values of
certain States are largely due to
their superior roads. Records on
file in the Office of Public Roads
show that farm lands have been
known to advance in value from so
10 SUO per cent on account OF the i'm
provement of the roads connecting
them with market towns.
When the facts secured by the
Department of Agriculture become
known to the farmers of the county,
and they realize that the establish
ment of complete system of proper
ly constructed public roads will have
the direct effect of greatly increas-
ing the value of their farms, they
will be the foremost advocates of
broad, comprehensive policy of pub
lie road improvement by the Nation,
States, Counties and Townships.
