ried out
Speaking of the -Four Corners, the
way the traffic officers are handling
the motor flood is getting to be most
commendable. II is easy TO lake care
of local traffic, as the drivers are gen
orally aware of the regulations and
endeayor to assist those directing
progress as well as they may, but
when 1t comes to drivers from out of
town, or even out of the State, a
totally different situation is confronted.
II takes a man who knows his bush
ness to negotiate one Of those mon
strous trucks across the second busiest
corner in the country in the rush
hour, but it also requires an officer
who knows his business to prevent the
accidents which impend on every
hand. The fact that there are not
more accidents speaks we'll for the
force.
Motor traffic is being accorded its
proper place nowadays; which is In
front. The local authorities are MAX
ing 1t their business of late to see that
automobiles, especially those in the
commercial field, are accorded the po-
sition of honor, which is just another
indication OF the progress of the motor
car.
Our old friend. Bill number %, which
advocates automobile reciprocity, has
peer held up again. But not for long.
II may have to make the rounds of
the Assembly once more in order that
the amendment for increased fees may
be passed upon, but from the manner
in which it slid through before, there
can be little doubt hat the second
trial will have much the same result.
There are some things you a
hold back, and this Is very properly one
Of them.
We never could see why there should
be any sentiment against automobile
reciprocity In this State. II looks
childish and uncalled for. when the fact
is taken into consideration that New
Jersey is the only State In the Union
which has not just and reasonable
automobile laws. Then again, the
great majority. both OF automobile peo-
pie and the farmers themselves, are
strongly in favor Of the passage of a
bill for reciprocity, What more can be
asked:
y More dealers joining the Central ave-
nue. exodusl The local National agency
has gone UP there, closely followed by
the Crow Elkhart people. There must
be something in this changing business.
after all. Still, there are quite a num-
Der of the better class of cars remain
ing in old Automobile Row, and most
OF them have no thought OF leaving II
for some time to come.
Automobile Row Is, however, the one
and only section of this city which is
suitable for the accessory people. They
have a central location, and It is
to be found there. Things may change
greatly in the next few years, but from
present indications the accessory people
are wise in remaining where they are.

Shelf MeDougal Refused to Turn Over "John Doe" Whiskey to N. Jacob

Interesting developments and fresh complications arose yesterday in con- nection with the shipment of John
 Doe whiskey which was seized two by the sheritf's office while said whis- key was lying al the Rock Island de pot awaiting shipment to Louisville, Kentucky. This shipment of whls- key consisted Of seven barrels. con taining 30O pints and something over an hundred quarts. and had been con signed to John Doe, . Forrest City. by the NJ. Jacobs Company. of Louis vile John" had received the whis- key here. paid the freight. and. re moved it from the depot. When the blind tiger agitation arose. something over two weeks ago John had an other eleven barrels Of the same goods seized while in his possession, but was allowed To ship it back to the consignors in the Kentucky city, and this last shipment was ex- peeted to be handled in the same way, but Sheriff McDougal decided to take hand, and visiting the depot found the seven barrels consigned to its original owners the NJ. Jacobs Company, with the freight prepaid to the said company, by John Doe" of Forrest City. The whiskey was seized by the sheriff and stored in the vault underneath the courthouse, where it remains.
 yesterday morning the NJ. Jacobs Company, through it's attorney. W. J. Lanier, filed an interpleader seek ing to recover the whiskey and have the shipment forwarded to them. The sheriff refused 10 grant this, asking that action be put off until Saturday. on account of the absence from the city of Prosecuting Attorney Will Hams. The attorney thereupon had Justice of the Peace Carr issue a writ of repleyin demanding that the whiskey be released, which writ was refused by the sheriff. he claim ing that the whiskey was now in the custody of the court, and was not the property of an individual until the court had so decided

 Mr Williams was native Of Mur- " county, Tennessee. having been born there on May It., 1850, and was thus just entering his sixty-third year, His family moved 10 this county in 1855, his mother having died some three years earlier. At the age of twelve his father died and he was thus left an orphan In 1871 he was married to the only daughter of Captain Edward Haskins, who died of pneumonia and left him alone again scarcely five weeks after they had plighted their troth. On the last day of July, 1873, MT. Will Hams was again married, this time to Miss Eddie, youngest daughter of Judge and Mrs. Edwin Mallory, of this county, and to their union, fif- teen children were born. twelve of whom, six boys and six girls, with their mother, survive him, as follows: Eugene, Edward, William, Robin, Mallory and Russell, and Mrs. Jef Winship, of Poplar Bluff, Missouri: Mrs. Fred Atkins, of Holly Grove, Arkansas, Mrs. Geo E. Parker, Miss Bessie Mae, Sweetie or Evelyn, and baby
 MT. Williams was elected sheriff of this county in 1892, thereafter con- tinuously for ten years, when he vol untarily resigned. In 1906 he was appointed to the office by Governor Jeff Davis, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. J. D. Mcknight. who died in January of that year. In 1906 and 1908 he was elected and re- elected and at the expiration of the last term stepped down and out vol untarily. During the interim be tween his retirement in 1902, and his appointment to the office in 1905 he served as member of the State Board of Charitable Institutions, on which
