Good Roads Conuent,on
For State of Mississippi

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 12.-The fol-
lowing was issued from the office
of Commissioner Blakeslee, of the de-
partment of agriculture and COM
merce, this morning.
The first primary has become a
thing of the past. The people have
spoken and it is to be sincerely hoped
that all differences and bitterness will
soon be forgotten and brushed away
Business and progressive movements
have been neglected for the past sew
eral months and it is now time for
our people to get together again for
the general betterment Of conditions
in Mississippi. And they will do 1t
toe.
"One of the most important mat
ters pertaining to our future progress,
is the building Of reasonably good
roads at a cost commensurate with
the ability of our people to pay. Many
counties have taken up this work In
earnest and others are investigating
the cost and advantage Of better
roads. Public sentiment Is fast crys-
alizing into demand for better
roads.
Gov. e. F. Noel has issued a proc
lamation calling for statewide
good roads convention to meet in
Jackson on October 25 and 2e, 1911
This meeting will occur during the

HATTESBURG MISSISSIPPI SATURDAY AFTERNOON AUGUST r.

Jackson, Aug. 12.-Gov. Noel has
appointed H. H. Tippin as sheriff and
tax collector of Harrison county, pend
ing an investigation of the books and
accounts of Sheriff William Reeves,
Jr., by the courts of Harrison and
Kinds counties. The investigation is
to be shared by the Kinds County
Court for the reason that the settle
ments for State taxes were made, and
the altered reports were presented
here. The grand jury will investigate
the alleged defalcations and uttering
of forged papers in the form or reports
of privilege taxes. Similar charges,
with that of forgery, will be presented
to the Harrison county court. Gov
Noel will bring the matter to the at
tention of the district attorneys and
county attorneys of Hinds and Har-
rison counties.
This action is taken because of the
supplementary report filed yesterday
with the Governor by State Account
ant Moore, and which charges Sher-
if Reeves with being guilty of other
discrepancies than that first made pub
lie by Auditor Smith, and with alter
ing the figures and removing several
pages of his report of privileges taxes
for 1910, the interest and damages on
which aggregated s1S11.22.

7 The bill was so amended as to re-
rnire the proposed law to take effect
