BOARD CUTS EXPENSES
Effort Being Made to Connect Ends of
Marion Uniontown Boulevard in
Order That Travel May Be
Resumed

Marion, August 15-tSpecial)- 1.-THE won
derful increase in food for live stock. as
well as wealth produced by growing al
falfa in this section, did not produce one
half the impression on the Perry county
farmer as the simple but emphatic state
ment of Mr.. Kinds that the boil weevil is
here now; and so long as you raise cot
ton it will always be here" Many people
in this section of the state have regarded
the weevil as a myth but from this time
on must realize that the enemy is now
planted in the fields, and by 1915 will be
as far north as the Tennessee and far
into Georgia.
Following the pubic addresses many
plantation owners and negro tenants held
conferences and the negroes pledged them
selves to remain on the farm and help to
fight the weevil.
This is one of the serious problems Of
this section as to what will become of
the many thousands of negroes when the
time comes when they cannot grow cot
ton under primitive methods. Doubtless
many will find their way into the mineral
sections of the state, but the opportunity
to grow grain and live stock will be given
to all
The county board of commissioners
have given to Marion that portion of
the bridge tax fund recently set aside
unders a new construction of the state
law. Marion gets about $3.50.
The present board is making a stren-
uous effort to cut the expenses of the
county, as we'll as improve the financial
condition.
Superintendent Scales of the road de-
partment of the county is making an
effort to connect the ends of the Ma
rion-Uniontown boulevard so that travel
may be resumed until the county secures
funds to complete this work. It was over
this piece of road the alfalfa tourists
encountered such bad roads on Thurs
day.

IRISH GIRLS PLUCK.

We noted recently how ga deep
laid" plan of the Tories to defeat
home rule by a "snap" or surprise
division had failed. The Irish were
on hand in full force and the Tories
themselves had the surprise. 1t
seems to have been a case of plot
and counterplot. The Liberal whips
had been shadowing the Conserva-
tive whips. They had to hunt rail-
road depots and to take a note of
the movements of every individual
Unionist M. P. They had to scheme
to get invitations for big Unionist
dinner parties and at homes and
other social functions, and had to
listen to all gossip that might show
on which night and in what fashion
the Unionists intended "to pounce. I"
"a few nights ago the Unionist
Vaccinations reached a climax
when, in obedience to a secret and
imperative summons, every available
Unionist M. P. was called from far
and near-even from the south of
France and north of Scotland. Alas,
however, for the best laid plans Of
be theirs; and when the figures were
announced that told of the defeat
of the ambuscade, the Liberals
raised cheers that the fiction writer
would describe, as making the raft
ers ring" says Martin Sinclair.
Few of the members of Parliament
who Joined in that demonstration
knew how the coup had been discov-
cred and defeated. Only the chief
whip and his assistants we're in the
secret-and from that day to this
the true facts have never been made
public, for the simple reason that If
the truth had leaked out no further
information could come out from the
same source. The House of Com
mons has now risen, and therefore
without improperly it is explained
that the facts about the intended
coup were first discovered by a
brilliant young Irish girl from
County Mayo, who, in order to help
the Nationalist cause took tenn
porary situation as housemaid at
the house of a famous Unionist NJ.
p, and who overheard the details
of the plot when they were discussed
by her employer with some other
NJ. P.'s in the billiard room. This
girl, who has college degree and
plenty of friends and money and in
fluence. quickly made an excuse to
leave the house, and taking an auto
drove direct to the HoVe OF Cont
mons, where she told an Irish mem
ber of what she had heard.
