Hotel Company to be Organized

A number of prominent citi.
zens have on foot a scheme to
organize a hotel stock company
with a capital stock of $50. .00O
to take over the Monaghan Hotel
at q price agreed on and improve
the property by adding another
story and converting the build
ing throughout into a modern
hotel.
The movement has met with
general favor and the capital
stock is being subscribed to lib
orally
The hotel facilities of Tupelo
are not adequate to the business
ofsthe town. During fair week
many visitors were forced to
forego the pleasures and COM
forts of the night because a
lodging place could not be Sc
cured.

Wreck on Mobile and Ohio

For the first time in the his
tory Of the Mobile and Ohio rail
road a wreck occurred Sunday in
which a passenger lost his life.
A troop train conveying a body
of troops from the barracks on
the coast to the Meridian fair
was wrecked near Buckatunna
and seventeen of the soldiers
we're instantly killed and a hum
dred wounded.
The report Of the wreck as
signs as a cause of the disaster
the jumping Of the tender from
the track near a trestle and
throwing the cars following into
a ravine twenty-five feet below.
The train consisted of wooden
coaches that went to pieces and
gave the inmates but little chance
for their lives. The federal gov
ernment and the railroad COM
mission of Mississippi will make
an investigation to fix the re-
sponsibility for the wreck.

Moving of Railroad Shops

Rumors have been aioat that
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad
Company have contemplated
moving their shops from Okolo-
ma to Tupelo. Just what ground
there is for the rumor we have
not been able to ascertain. 1t
has been reported that within
the past ten days officials of the
road have been here investigat-
ing the matter. Just who they
were we have not been able to
learn, and the matter, if at all
considered by the road. is in an
indefinite shape at the present
time.

A large hole was burned in the
floor, and but for the timely
warning the building and those
adioinind would have been con-

Memphis to Birmingham Road
Many Enthusiastic Delegates Attend Convention in Tupeo
---Al Speak in Favor of the Highway Resolutions
Passed---Barbecue rendered Visitors.

Mr.. Smith spoke OF the beauties
and attractiveness of the historic
old county and of the disadvan-
tages of the roads of his county.
He pictured an ideal location
when the roads have been con-
structed and afford the people an
opportunity of enjoying to the
fullest degree the social pleasures
of life.
Professor C. T. Ames of Mar
shall followed. Mr.. Ames is the
director of the Agricultural, Hor-
ticultural and Live Stock station
at Holly Springs. He stated in
his opening remarks that he had
studied other questions and while
a strong advocate of good roads
had not given that subject
great study. Professor Ames.
however, satisfied the crowd that
he was not only an advocate OF
good roads but had demonstrated
the fact that he could build
them. He told Of having built
a road from the town of Holly
Springs out to the experiment
station about a mile in length
over a sand bed, the quality OF
the sand being good enough for
plastering, by placing layer of
clay on top which served as a
shed that kept the water off the
sand and afforded good road
al thesyear, He expressed him
self as being in full sympathy
with the movement and was
ready to lend every effort and
energy to the advancement OF
| the movement.
In the absence of Hon. c. Lee
Crum who had been assigned
as the speaker from Union, Hon.
Walter Parks, mayor of New
Albany, was called on and en-
dorsed the project and stated
that Union county was ready to
join hands with her sister coun-
ties in the good work.
Judge John H. Mitchell OF
Pontotoc' spoke for his county
and while he stated that he was
not fully advised on the subject,
yet he endorsed it provided the
road went through the town OF
Pontotoc and Pontotoc county.
He expressed himself as appre-
ciative of the great results that
follow road construction and
hoped to see them extended all
over the country.
Hon. Ed Franklin next follow
ed and also took the position that
Pontotoc should have the road
although the blue print did not
run through the center of that
county. The blue print he called
attention to only cut off a short
strip Of the northeastern portion
of the county which was nine or
ten miles from. the county site
and the road located there would
be of little benefit to the rest of
the county. He was enthusiastic
| in advocating steps to construct
a line from Pontotoc east and
west, touching the Lee county
line at the intersection Of the
Pontotoc and TupelU road where
it crosses the county line. II
was his opinion that the road
could be built from Pontotoc if
Lee county would meet that
county with a good road at the
county line. This he was as
sured by the Lee county dele
cation would be done. as nearly
all Of that line was under con-
struction or would be before a
great while.
Mr.. H. NJ. Henry Of Hickory
Flat was the only representative
from Benton county. Mr.. Henry
stated that while only q small

vertised by the Business Mems
Club of Tupelo for Tuesday
brought together large and en-
thusiastic crowd of delegates
from the various counties along
the prospective route of the pub
lie highway which will be built
between Memphis, Tenn, and
Birmingham, Ala. The counties
Of Marshall. Pontotoc and Union
sent large delegations, while the
counties of Benton and Itawamba
were represented by smaller,
though none the less enthusiastic
delegates.
Upon the arrival of the first
Frisco train east Tuesday MORN
ing the delegates were met at
the station with automobiles and
conveyed to the courthouse where
the meeting was to be held. Ar
irving there Chancellor Robins.
who is holding his October term
of court, Immediately adjourned
his court and turned the court
room over to the convention.
Chancellor Robins was made
chairman of the convention and
in calling the body together he
expressed his qualification at the
good road spirit which prevails
in nearly every section, and con-
graduated Lee county upon the
lead she had taken and the pro-
gfess thas had been mGda.
Honorable George 7. Mitchell
delivered the address of welcome
and extended a most hearty well
come to the visitors and assured
them that it afforded the people
of Tupelo much pleasure to have
them as their guests for the day
and that it was especially graft
flying to have them come as ad-
vocates of good roads in their
respective counties. He assured
them also that Lee county would
build any connecting link and
that the task was virtually ac-
complished if Lee county prom
ised to do it.
Honorable Lester G. FAINT of
Holly Springs, on the part of the
visitors, in a very happy re-
sponse replied to the address of
a welcome. Mr.. FAINT prefaced his
remarks by enumerating some Of
Aphysical disadvantages that
asted in his county. but he said
thssk. while the county was not
overbHrdened with money, yet it
was we'll supplied with grit"
and her citizens were responsive
to the spirit Of progress and
would do their full duty in con-
nection with her sister-c counties
! in building the road. He ex-
dressed the appreciation of the
delegates of the cordial reception
Rendered them by the people of
sTupelo, and assured the Tupelo
Representatives that it was a
pleasure for them to be there.
The next speaker was Judge
w. D. Anderson, who was as
signed the duty of explaining the
laws governing road construction
in the state. He pointed out the
section of the Code under which
the counties could operate, but
this section needed some amend
ments which he felt sure could
be gotten through at the next
session Of the legislature. He
also pointed out the Act of the
legislature which authorizes any
OF the Supervisors districts to
issue bonds independent of the
rest of the county and use the
B funds obtained in constructing
roads in their district.
The list of counties was next
taken up and L. A. Smith, Z, a..
! Of Holly Springs was the first
The Tupelo journal., 1913-10-24

touched by the road, yet MS peo-
pie were anxious for it and would
do all in their power to help
build it.
Mr.. J.. L. Bookout spoke for
his section of Itawamba county
and stated that the people OF his
section wanted the road. Mr..
lookout lives east of Fulton and
stated that there was plenty OF
gravel along through that section
to build good road and that he
was ready to take the lead in
putting the road through.
Mr.. Spears of Byhalia was
called on and while the blue
print did not locate the road by
Byhalia. yet he wanted the con-
vention to understand that By
halia was still on the map and
had as many wide-awake citi-
zens and good roads enthusiasts
as could be found in any town of
Its size. He pointed out that
the logical point was by Byhalia,
that it was ten miles nearer and
that there was plenty of gravel
near enough to make it much
cheaper to build the road along
that route. He stated that when
the line struck DeSoto county
a citizen of that county had
agreed to furnish all the gravel
! necessary to build the road from
Marshall county to the Tennes-
Isee line. Mr.. Spears impressed
/ the convention with his zeal and
earnestness in advocacy of the
routh by Byhalia.
| Supervisor C N. Horton, rep
resenting the Pontotoc district
was next called on and in a short
talk assured the convention that
he was heartily in favor of
building the road through Pom
totoc county and connecting with
the road that is being built in
Lafayette county. He pledged
himself to use his best efforts to
promote the line in his county.
/ A speaker from Potts Camp
called attention to the fact that
the blue print did not run the
line by Potts Camp and Myrtle
and that it would be an injustice
to these towns if the, road came
So near and failed to go through
them.
| Mr.. N. B. Buchanan. the en-
I gineer who made the blue print,
was called on and explained that
| the route was only tentative,
that no survey had been made
and that the question of def
mite location was matter to be
decided in the future.
DR.. Boatner Of Potts Camp
was called on and pledged his
support for the movement.
/ Rev. j. D. Cunningham of
Myrtle also pledged the support
of that town to the cause.
j Mr.. A. S. Prescott of Jasper,
Walker county, Alabama, was in
troduced to the convention. Mr..
i Prescott stated that the people
of his county had so far pro-
gressed in civilization that they
no longer ate each other but had
combined in a general effort of
industrial improvement and were
on the highway to the greatest
possible civilization and COM
mercial attainment. He explain
ed that already a road had been
built between his place and Bir-
mingham, and although there
were mountains between Jasper
and Birmingham. that the dis
tance Of forty-six miles between
the two cities could be covered
