BOULEVARD PAVING
ONLY A MAKESHIFT,
SAYS CONTRACTOR

AT a meeting of property holders on
North Boulevard last night G. NJ. In
grund, president of the Southern Btu
lithic Company OF Nashville, declared
that the bituminous maCadam on North
Boulevard which has called forth the
denunciation of the property holders
was mere "makeshift," but is just
what the specifications call for.
He said the fault was not with his
company, but with the people, who had
decided upon a form of paving which
will not stand the wear of heavy traffic.
He also declared that his company
would finish the contract unless pro-
hibited by a court order but made a
proposition to take off the top paving
already laid and replace 1t with more
substantial material, at an additional
cost
A committee of property holders will
be appointed to look into the several
propositions offered for the reconstruc-
tion of the street, and to decide upon a
definite plan with the city construction
department and the contractor.

Mountain clansmen in the vicinity of
Mt Airy are blamed in a feud warfare
that has been started against farmers
of that section, and already the homes
of two well known farmers have been
shot up. The identity Of the marauders
is unknown and the origin of their
grievance against the farmers is a mys-
terry.
The first outbreak came Monday
night, when the home of Burt Trotter
was attacked Members of the Trotter
family were awakened when they heard
voices in the barn yard. A few minutes
later they saw shadowy figures of men
in the darkness moving about the barn
yard and then saw their stock driven
out into the woods. A few minutes
later the Trotters heard footsteps on
the front porch. Then some one rat

Trotter's son went to an open win
dow overlooking the porch and fired at
a man he saw at the door. The man
fed and escaped in the darkness. A
few minutes later shots were fired into
the Trotter house.
Yesterday William Harper, a neigh
Dor of the Trotters came to Clarkes-
vile to do some trahing, returning
home late in the evening. Last night
Harpers home was fired into by UNI
known persons.
Harper and Trotter believe that the
same crowd Is responsible for both at
tacks and that Harper's house was shot
up under the impression that he had
visited Gainesville to give information
of the Trotter attack. This, however,
was not the case.
Today Habersham county officers are
endeavoring to clear up the mystery
and run down the clan responsible for
the depredations.
