STATE AID FOR GOOD ROADS

A state tax for the building OF highways from
county seat to county seat throughout Georgia will
be contemplated by measure which Representative
Minter wimberly, Of Bib county. announces he win
introduce before the Georgia legislature next sum-
mer for enactment into Law. This measure would
make onefourth of one per cent Of the state tax in
each county applicable exclusively to road cOnstruc
ton and maintenance upon statewide plan.
The Journal hopes that the majority Of the in
coming legislatures members viii be predisposed to
favor such measure as this. and that they will
consider it carefully and enact it into law if it be
sOundly drawn.
The intent of it is in line with the policy which
The Journal has advocated day in and day out for
several years pas-the policy of state participation
IN road building. of state supervision and aid
The time has passed when roads could be built
haphazard
In the beginning, when the convicts were first
placed on the public roads, there few highways
Of any kind save in the larger countless and new
roads were better than the old ruts
Now the state has reached that stage of road
building where expert supervision and planning are
imperative.
The measure which seeks to establish state bu-
reau Of road building has failed of enactment far
more because of apathy toward it than opposition
against it.
Let the state bureau be created. and let expe-
renced and an intelligent road builder be placed at
the head of it with authority to accomplish results
Let Georgia give her aid in this nd financial way
70 the perfection of her counties good road work.

 Children and Himself Both Women Sisters and Mys- terious Man Maintained
 Separate Households
 For Them.

East Bourne, England Sept. 1s-Miss Florence. Paler, the only survivor of the mysterious Robert Hicks Mur- raY's' attempt to wipe out his entire family before taking his own life, was witness. today, when the inquest was resumed on the bodies of Mary, his wife, and three children. From the wound Murray inflicted on her Miss Paler was still so weak that her teeti- mony was taken in writing
 Exactly who Murray was, Miss Pa1ey did not know. The evidence, as de- veIoped by the examination of Miss that as Charles Mackie, an American, he, his wife and one child had rented the apartments in which they lived until the morning of the tragedy. Whether Edith PaIer., the supposed Mrs. Mackie, knew or not, Murray was also living in another part of East and their two children, is not known. They passed as MT. and Ms. Sterling.
 Shortly before the date of expiration of his lease to the .Fnys Road house, MacIsie or Sterling called on the rent ing agent whos had never seen him be- fore as their transactions had been by mail, introduced himself as Robert Hicks Murray and rented the house from August 19.
 On the afternoon of August r he took Florence Pa1er (Mrs. SteriinD
  and Accompanied them to the house in Enys road So far as can be learn ed Edith Paler (Nrs. Mackie) and her child had already been killed and were lying in a locked room uastasrs.
 Early on August 19 Mackie. Ster- ling or Murray walked Florence and asked her if she would like cup of tea She answered in the affirmative and he went to get it. Returning with a revolver instead of the tea, he shot her in the neck, evidently supposed she was dead and, turning the weapon on the children, killed both of them
 While he was doing this, Florence, who was not dead, had rushed scream ing from the house By the time she found help. however, Murray had car ried the children to the room where his previous victims lay soaked their clothing in petrol and set them al1ght. Then he shot and killed himself
 Murray had been a devoted husband and father in both his families and always seemed to have money, though it cannot be discovered whence it came He left a, note saying he was ruined and preferred killing those de- pendent upon him to having them want.
 After the tragedy several persons professed to identify pictures of the dead man as Robert Henry Money, who figured extensively in the press seven years ago on account Of the connection of his name with the Inur- der of his sister Mary, who was gag ged. thrown from a swiftly moving train and killed in a tunnel near Lon don. The police ridicu1ed the idea that her brother killed her but many people believed he did. q
 That the pictures were correctly identified, however, is. open to doubt.

Last August she was suspected of stealing ana a search of the g1ri S room revealed a trunk filled With feminine finery and other m1Scellane- corn p1asters. There was also some money missing but the maid Is ac- cused of taking only $5.

Mrs. Page is a handsome wo- man. She was stylishly goWned in blue and her black hat trimmed with white excited the admiration of the feminine spectators.
