GOOD ROADS HEADQUARTERS.
Association Has Ample Funds to
Carry on Its Propaganda.

The American Association for Highway
Improvement, which was organized in
this city November %, has established
headquarters in the Colorado building.
The association already has commenced
work and has definite promise of finan-
cial support from railroads all over the
country.
The railroads, it is said, recognize in
the road Improvement movement a great
public utility which they are glad to help,
but aside from this they look at II from
a strictly business standpoint, as good
roads are feeders to the raft lines, and
they say they would support the move
ment from business interests il from no
other. The association has the assurance
of $4,000 to work with In the next three
months.
One of the things that is being done
now Is to prepare booklet Of the asso-
citation showing its members and officers
and the methods by which 1t will work.
This book probably will be off the press
In two weeks.

It was one big show after, the speech

fortune tellers to leather-lunged bankers
who had something to show-at a price.
The festival will last until Saturday
night. It is estimated that ten thousand

contributed by Washington business men
for the purpose Of increasing the lodges

ELIMINATION Of GRAFT

Rudolph SpreckeIs Of Frisco in

With motto LESS Graft and Greater
Dividends Rudolph Spreckels of San

launch nationwide organization for the
promotion Of direct legislation. which he
says he believes must be coincident with
the stamping out Of graft in business and
politics. He expects to remain here about
ten days and in that time to get his

Best-Paying Policy.
Mr.. Spreckels is devoting himself TO d
campaign among the business men of the
country, endeavoring to convince them
that honesty is the best-paying policy. He
has talked to men at the head Of the big
of the country and declares
that they are not nearly so black as
they have been painted, but are Is af1x-
ious as others for the betterment of con-
ditions in the business and political
world.
Mr.. Spreckels said his plan was not a
countrywide prosecution OF crooks and
grafters.
my aim is to convince business men
that by stamping out graft they will have
bigger dividends. At the bottom Of COR
rupt politics lies corrupt business, and 1t
is necessary to stamp out corrupt BUSH
ness before politics can be cleaned up.
The money used by corporations in poll
tics is SO much money taken from the
stockholders.
Erisco's Record in Gas.
In San Francisco the gas company
some years ago was collecting $1.35 for

cents. This means an annual saving OF

are receiving greater dividends. This IL

Mr. Spreckels said that the people should

meant to rule, and that the power to dt
so should be restored to them.

SAID cavalierly: This is Mr..
Ward, Professor Keredec. He is
Mrs. Harman's cousin and close
friend. We were speaking of
your reasons for bringing Mr.. Hartman
to this place. Frankly, we were ques-
tioning your motives"
"My motives? l have wished to re-
store to two young people the paradise
which they had losed."
Ward uttered an exclamation none
the less violent because it was half
suppressed.

tion," he said, resting his arms on my
table and leaning across it toward
Keredec.

1tlHAVE EXHIBIT
At STATE FAIR
Three North Mississippi Counties viii
Combine and Make an Excel
lent Showing Next Fall.
SDeciGl to The Netcs.

NvcCeUs W = SsO 1vCWo.
JACKSON, Miss, January 3.-The
three North Mississippi counties of
Tippah, Benton and Union will have
a tri-county exhibit at the State
Fair here next fall which will by
far excel anything that has ever
been shown here from that section
of the state. and one which bids fair
to divide honors with the famous
Jackson county exhibit, which under
the direction of Capt. Frank H.
Lewis has been growing larger and
more attractive during each of the
six years the Exposition has been
in existence.
This tri-county exhibit will be in
charge of Hon. A. c. Anderson of
Ripley, editor of the Ripley Senti-
mel and representative in the lower
house of the legislature from Tip
pah and Benton counties, who will
take upon himself the responsible
task of gathering up the exhibits
and looking after their transporta-
ton to Jackson. At least two cars
will be used for the purpose, and a
movement will be put on foot at once
to induce the railroad companies to
transport them without charge. as
other roads have done in other in
stances.
Last year that section of the state
got up a very creditable exhibit for
Tri-State Fair in Memphis, but have
decided next year not only to pat
ronize their own State Fair, but to
greatly increase the size and extent
of the exhibit.
Mr.. ]. M. Mcdonald, assistant
secretary of the Fair Association, has
just returned from that section,
where he has been for several days
perfecting the necessary arrange
ments and urging that the farmers
of the tire counties plant their crops
and handle their live stock with a
view to participating in the forma-
ton of the exhibit and making it
one Of the most creditable that will
be sen here next fall. incidentally
this hint is Icing thrown out all
over the ~ Ind it is hoped that
no y Easteffion Of the common
weaeo Alafll be unrepresented in
next years showing.
In the meantime, the officers OF
the association will put in every
possible minute in preparing for the
coming event and in advertising it
throughout the state.

made straight at him, crying wildly:

She threw herself upon him, her
arms about his neck, with tropical
ferocity that was very paroxysm Of

Mortified, outraged, his eyes blazing,
he flung her off with violence sur

killing her, calling him husband" and
tried to fasten herself upon him again.
But he leaped backward beyond the
reach Of her clutching hands and,
turning, plunged to the steps and
staggered up them, the woman follow

From above me leaned the stricken
face Of Keredec. He caught Saffren
under the arm and half lifted him to
