CARMINOilTE GRAVEL
FOR NEWMAN Street

R. K. Smith, general manager OF
Mississippi Central R. R., has just re-
ceived a number of carloads of gravel
called 'carminolite" which is to be
used on that portion of Newman
street contiguous to Mr.. Smiths dwell
ing. When completed, this section of
street will serve to demonstrate the
paving merits of this material, which
is being used for improving the high
ways in Kinds and Lincoln counties.
1t is used just as it is when taken
from the pit. 1t is said to be nat
urally perfect road material, which
hardens, giving a smooth CLASSY sur
face which adapts it to the use oi
motor cars at any speed.
The city authorities, finding Mr.
Smith willing to furnish the materia
for making this piece of "demonstra
ton" street, put the street hands Il
work to do the grading. This worl
when completed will be followed witt
the application of six inches of tn
gravel mentioned.

shown over 1900 negroes ages to 21.
In the numeration recently filed this
number has dropped to about 1900.
Under the law the county superin-
tendent has the right to appeal from
the action of the board in the event
they accept the enumeration as filed.
The board took the matter under ad-
visement, on advice Of their attorney
and it is probable that anew enumera
tion will be ordered. AS every name
omitted means loss Of So per veal
to the city or county, those charged
with the administration of the schoo
affairs of the county will doubtless
see to it that a correct enumeration
/ is obtained.
Mr.. Clark, the assessor, states tina
these omissions were caused by thu
loss of enumeration slips, which II
some unaccountable way were mis-
placed. The omissions were not dis
covered by him until his attention
was directed to the marked falling oi
in the city enumeration.
