Upon the recent visit to Miss
issippi of President Markham
and Chief Counsel Blewett Lee,
of the Illinois Central railroad,
these gentlemen as far as report
ed, failed to acknowledge the
roads obligation to the State of
Mississippi for the protection
rendered the road during the
strike of 1911. At McComb
City and Water Valley the state
of Mississippi kept a sufficient
number Of troops to protect the
road from the striking employees.
This was done at an expense
possibly of one hundred thousand
dollars to the state. The Presi-
dent of the road and his General
Counsel saw proper to criticize
the people of Mississippi on &C.
count of damage suits and judg-
ments that are piling up against
the railroads for their derelic-
ton of duty. but overlooked an
opportunity to commend the
state for its preservation of law
and protection of the roads

Good Roads For Itawamba.

On Tuesday the Board of Supervisors
of Itawamba county let the contract
for constructing good roads from. the
Lee county line TO the bridge across
Tombigbee river.
The contract was awarded to Brad
shaw and Ward, of Columbia, Miss,
who entered into bond with the coun-
ty. There were a number of bidders
for the contract.
The contractors will begin work as
soon as they can get their equipment
here. They have $50 mules, which
With the other necessary equipment,
will be on the ground as soon as il
al be shipped here.
The construction of this road means
a great deal to the people of Fulton
and the territory contiguous. This is
their nearest railroad point and the
difficulty of getting to market has
proven a great handicap all these years.
The nine miles of road which Lee
county constructed was a convincing
argument that a good road vas a
good thing for any county. ltawamba
