William r. Bennett. of Fayette-
vile, judge of the Fayette cir
cult court, against whom char
ges were recently filed when
Governor Glasscock was asked to
call a special session of the legis-
lature to impeach the jurist. to-
day handed to Gov. Glasscock his
resignation and it was at once
accepted. In his letter of resig-
nation. Bennett said:
Il do not do so in consequence
of any feeling, even the slightest
that | have been guilty of mis-
conduct in Office. My only rea-
son for taking this course is that
the office of judge is of such a
nigh character that do not be-
lieve it is fair to the state, your
administration or the people of
my circuit, to embarrass you or
them, even momentarily, by a
continuation in office of myself,
while under suspicion.
"A judge above suspicion from
any source. even the untrustwor-
thy, should fill the office until l
can demonstrate the falsity of
these charges, which l will GER
tainly do without loss of time"
Judge Bennett is the Republi-
can nominee to succeed himself.

at the office of the company.
Ticket Agent E. A. Heaton,
was making up his daily deposit
when a poorly dressed stranger
presented ticket for some bag

top of his desk in the ticket
agents cage, Heaton went to
the baggage room. During his
absence the stranger went out
through small window in the
rear. Heaton returned just as
the stranger was leaving. The
robber later gave a hundred dol
lars of the money to a man who
had sent him to the office to get
the baggage. All trace of the
thief has been lost.

The great Roman Empire was
a nation of warlike people. By
war it extended its couquests
over the civilized world. But it
was also a road builder, and to-
day the foreign traveller is more
forcibly struck by the vast high
ways built by this ancient nation,
many of them still existing and
and in public use, than by the
history of its great military
achievements under its justly
famed generals. The great APP
plan Way, over which the apostle
Paul was conducted as a prisoner
into Rome, still exists as mon
ument to the enterprise of it's

This great country of ours spends

shame that not one dollar has
ever been expended for the inn

alleviate the hardships upon the
great mass of its citizenship,
which must travel over them and
use them in the transportation Of
its wares.
The subject of improvement
of roads is not a new question
