NOT A MUD HOLE
 ON MACADAM ROADS
WITH OVER 300 MILES THERE IS NOT A PLACE WHERE VEHICLE WOULD MlRE EXCEPT IN TOWNS.

There is not a single mud hole in a macadam road in Jefferson county" is the boast of the Board of Revenue The members of the board declare that to their knowledge and that of their overseers, not a single improved mile of road within the whole county which Is outside of the limits of town is out of shape, rough or muddy.
 We are now rebuilding a little strip near Brighton. which so far as we know completes our macadam system,'' they say. There are many mud holes within the limits of the towns which we cannot touch"
 Following the big rain of yesterday there are few counties in the state that could make this boast. With over 300 miles of macadam and not single point where an automobile could mire up, Jeff ferson now needs only to force her small towns to do their share, and the system will be perfect

 Congressman Collier of Vicksburg was also In the city, having returned from Washington with the special car load of Mississippians who went up to witness the inauguration. MT. Col Her returned home in order that he might meet with the state camp of the Woodmen of the World at Columbus this week
 Folding Cots Received.
 Adjutant General Fridge has received a car load of folding cots from St Louis, shipped to him on orders of the war department. and is very much re- joiced. There are HOO of these army cots in the lot, and 1t is thought that number will be sufficient to accommo- date all the soldiers of the National Guard who may go into camp here this summer-the officers furnishing their own cots or beds.
 General Fridge has an idea that when the guardsmen know they are not go- ing to have to sleep on the ground, or on the mats of hay they have used in former encampments, they will be much more inclined to go into camp than they would be oth herwlse.

cARNEGlE'S PEACE PLAN.
He Suggests Union of British and
 American Interests.

New York, March. 10.-Andrew Car negie has given out a statement through the peace society of which he is pres ident, outlining what he considers the easiest and most practical step to limit further naval expansion in the interests of international peace. He suggests:
 Great Britain and the United States to agree as follows:
 'The United States will defend against attack the British possessions upon the Atlantic, including the islands in the south. Great Britain will defend against attack the American coast upon the Pa- cif1c together with Hawaii and the Phil ippnes. This agreement to terminate at the end of five years anotice by either party

target for his abuse and vllification? None in the world, yet Carmack did it. What is the worst thing a man can do to you? He can burn your house. You can rebuild it. He can steal your money. You can earn more. But if he touches your honor, he takes what he cannot re- store
 "The most powerful engine for public good today is the pnhlc press. It does more good today than any one institution except possibly the churches. All honor to the press. All honor to those who burn the midnight oil that you may be informed. It is the duty of the press to critcise public officials and the fear of the press is the greatest deterrent of graft in the world today"
 General Washington next took up the editorial in the Memphis News Scimitar of March 15 19OS and showed how Colonel Cooper was informed that Carmack had written it. He got sidetracked however, for a while and discussed the failure of the state to prove that Bennng was not in the Tennessean office the afternoon of November g. When he got back to the editorial he demanded to know what right Carmack had to put Cooper's name in any paper, declaring it would not be permitted in a reputable paper in repu- table community. The editorial connect eQ Cooper W1In Ile lODDy Ol tllc lIouio- vile and Nashville railroad which the paper denounced as the most corrupt cor poration in the state. As a matter of fact Cooper admitted on the stand that he was the Louisville and Nashville lob byist at a salary of s5000 year; that he sold his salary to E. c. Craig for four months in advance and then resigned. It was to try to get some of this money back that Craig called upon Cooper the night before the murder.
 Brilliant Debates.
 General Washington next took up the joint debates with Patterson and declared them to be the greatest, next to the Doug las-Lincoln debates in history. He de- scribed how Carmack outraged and in- suited Colonel Cooper repeatedly in the presence of the fairest, most charming, most delightful woman in the world. by calling Colonel Cooper little bad-headed angel. He told how in biblical times some boys who called a saintly old man a bald head were devoured by bears who were sent out of the forest by God to avenge the insult
 Being on biblical themes, General Wash ington quoted some more from holy writ, to show what was meant by an angel with the smell of sulphur on his wings. He next returned to the debates and put the defense's interpretation on Senator Carmack's utterances, declaring that they were vilely insulting and debasing. He claimed that Carmack had Cooper by the throat. helpless and like the small boy bully at school, gloated over his power. It was also intimated by the speaker that Colonel Cooper suspected from the News Scimitar editorial that Carmack proposed to expose his dealings as clerk and mas ter in chancery. General Washlngton's s COllaa w9tchino the clock u-b was pointing to O clock, and caught his eye. He then said:
 'I see it Is long after adjourning time, so I will desist now until tomorrow Whereupon court was adjourned until @ a. m. tomorrow

ton. The period of prohibition IS
to run for twenty five years. or dur
ing the trust period that the lands
allotted 10 the Indians are held by

and as to the Indian allottees.
Concurring in their wish, the sup
