SMITH CONVICTED.

Of Automobile.

Jackson, Miss, July Io.-"Guilty

turned against c. c. Smith, presi-
dent of the state board of prison
trustees, who for the last three
DAYS has been on trial before Judge
Henry in the circuit court OF Hinds
county charged with defrauding
the state in the purchase of an au-
tomobile.
The verdict was returned to-
night at 1915 after only rs min
utes deliberation and came as a
complete surprise to the defendant
and his friends, who only a few
minutes before had confidently
predicted his acquittal.
The verdict of guilty carries with
it in addition to whatever other
penalty the court may see fit to in
fiict, that of dismissal from office.
The entire days session of court
was consumed in the preparation
of instruction and delivery of ar
guments; seven lawyers addressing
the jury whose argument occupied
six hours in delivery. The case
was placed IN the jury's hands at
o:3o p. m. and many predicted
that there would be no verdict be.
fore morning if at all.
Judge Henry announced that he
would remain in the court room
until midnight for the purpose of
receiving the verdict, out the great
er portion of the large crowd
which had jammed the court room
during the day quickly filed out,
confident that no verdict would be
returned before morning.
An appeal will be taken in the
case which will be fought to the
court OF last resort.

ond quarterly report for 1918. I
have inspected all roads and
bridges in my district and report
the following: have inspected
all second class roads and fnd them
in very good repair with some ex-
captions, which will be attended
to at once. These exceptions were
cause by the recent heavy rains. l
have also inspected all brides In
said district and find three small
bridges In bad repair, owing to
the fact that It is impossible to get
lumber to make these repairs at
this time. I also report Carlisle
bridge in bad repair on north end:
about 100 feet has decayed and Is
practically down, and will have to
be repaired before the fall travel
begins. would recommend that
all this 100 feet be removed, as it
is too near the ground to last, and
a go inch dump be erected In its
stead. recommend that all con-
tractors for second class road be
paid this quarter.

pie; we must give the people bet
ter roads. I would advise the fol-
lowing: Let the county take over
or recall the present contract and
buy from the contractor such OF
his mules and machinery as we can
use, get good man who under
stands putting up roads, and put
the roads up 10 good condition.
And then at this meeting of the
board divide the roads up In S mile
links and advertise for bids for
keeping up the roads; not more
than S miles to any one man.
BY keeping up, I mean keeping
all bitches we'll open. all holes
filled and all approaches to bridges
In good shape. and putting in cnl.
verts when needed, In fact to do all
work that cannot be done with the
machine. think 1t would be well
to require the contractor of each S
miles of road to run the drag on it
after the rains. believe In this
way we can give the people more
for their money than under the
present system.
If the board does not think well
of this plan, I would ask them to
join me In trying to make a deal
with the contractor whereby be
would release District One (my
district) from the contract and let
me try 1t under the above system.
That Is, I will have the roads put
in good shape with the machine,
and then let 1t In S mile links, to
be worked with a drag. bitches
kept open and holes filled. be-
lieve that If the road is well kept
up, If only once year, and then
each S mile link given careful at.
tention with the drag, that we will
have better roads; and I know
