cure the State aid so necessary to the
full development to Statewide sys-
tenn of good roads. He raped the
congress for limiting the appropria-
tions for roads in the interests of
economy and then further econo-
mize by raising their salaries.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Winslow's
address, Mr.. Carter called upon Mr..
S. G. Mayfield for few remarks. He
told of his experience in trying to Sc
cure good roads legislation several
years ago. He agreed with Mr.. Wins
low in all that he had said except the
argument that the communication tax
was unfair to the resident land own
ers. He wanted to see the direct
valuation tax and the communication
tax, too, as the latter would reach
the negro and others who pay no
other tax, but thought the alterna-
tive of working the roads should be
removed. He thought that through
roads should receive State aid, but
that county roads should be improv-
ed out of the county funds.

DEPUTIES KILL FIVE NEGROES.
Resisted Arrest and the Shooting
Began-Two Wounded.

Elliott, Miss, July 21.-Five ne
groes were killed and two others
were wounded to-day, when the
seven, taking issue with Deputy Sher-
iff Sid Cauley, who was endeavoring
to take them into custody on a minor
charge, advanced on the officer with
farming implements as weapons and
with the avowed intention of cut
ting him down."
Carrying a warrant charging the
seven with assault, Cauley and two
citizens, deputized to assist him,
went to the home of Henry Beck, a
colored farmer, near Elliott, this af-
ternoon. AS the posse approached the
negroes ceased their work in the
field and, grabbing pitchforks and
other farming tools, made for the
deputy. Cauley, however, opened fire
with two revolvers before the bel
ligerents came within striking dis
tance and, before the others of the
posse had regained their wits, five
of the attacking party were dead and
the remainder wounded. The depu-
ty surrendered, but was released to
appear for formal hearing to-mor-
row.
Several days ago an attempt was
made to effect the capture of the ne
groes, but the arresting officer with
drew when they employed similar
tactics to those of to-day.

Parliamentary Expert.

The nomination of Asher G. Kinds
in the First Maine district if ratified
by the people in November will give
to the Sixty-second congress mem
Der occupying a position quite with
out precedent. He has already Sc
riously been considered for the speak
ership while not a member Of the
house.
He has long made a specially of
parliamentary laws and has compiled
a work of encyclopedia proportions,
representing the study of years, on
the precedents of the national house
of representatives.
Not 10 men in the next house will
be better known to it's general men,
bership than Mr.. Kinds. He will be
one of the recognized leaders on
his first day there because he has
been in intimate consultation with
it's speakers and committees on rules
for more than 20 years and more
than once his advice has guided the
action of his party. In the assign
meut of committee places, while he
cannot now have any of the chair
manships which are regularly filled
on the seniority basis, he will be re-
garded as decidedly 'privileged'
among the new members. Though
the speakership represents capacity
for political leadership rather than
acquaintance with parliamentary law,
it would not be surprising if Mr..
Kinds should reach that office be-
fore many years and thereby make
the State of Names second contri-
button to it within comparatively
short period. The house seems to be
getting ready to repose most of the
party strategy with it's elective COM
mittee on rules-assuming the new
system to Standard to seek in the
speakership to emphasize the quail
ties of a presiding officer. This ten
dency if manifested is pretty sure to
bring Mr.. Kinds to that great Office.
He is man of general scholarship,
has been considered for the presi-
dency of one of the Maine colleges,
is an effective speaker, we'll versed
in national issues, and possesses the
courage of his convictions. In send
ing him to congress the First Maine
district will be making a rather
notable choice.-Boston Transcript.
