FIVE MEN INDICTED FOR
DYNAMITINC WATTS.
Two of Them Are Residents
of Jones County who Must
Face Federal Court.

The result of the investigation of
the dynamiting of dipping watts in
Jones and adjoining counties, which
has been in progress in the federal
court at Meridian for several DAYS,
was the indictment OF five men. two
of whom live in Jones county. These
men will have serious prosecution
to face, and the litigation will doubt
less cost them very much money,
even if they succeed in avoiding a
conviction, VIII ch would carry a
sentence to federal prison.
A large number OF witness were
summoned from Laurel, and from
the country, to testify before the
grand jury. 1t is assumed that
their names were supplied by Har-
rell, the detective, who worked up
the cases here while pretending to
be selling stock powders;
Included in the number OF witnesses
summoned to Meridian in these cases
were the following:
DR.. Hanawaula, Charles Bush, A.
M. Holifeld,. two Hoseys, A. A. Jen-
kins, DIR. Baum, L. M. Marlborough,
George Lowe, T. N. Lightsey, Frank
Gatin, Harry Welborn, Alonzo
Blackwell and A. r Everett.
One of these witnesses in talking
this morning says that Judge Niles
delivered most seathing charge to
the grand jury there, condemning
the dynamiting Of these watts, and
denouncing and demanding the pro-
secution of the dynamiters. OF
course, these witnesses cannot tell
what questions were asked them in
the jury room, but it is said that
damaging cases we're made against
the men who were indicted, and that
there was brought out great deal OF
evidence, which will corrobosate the
testimony OF the detective HarrelI,
who may be discredited. Laurs

THERE WAS NO HARD CIDER
AT THE MOOSE SPREAD

H. ID. Brown, a well known trav-
cling man out of this city, was the
star actor in little drama at OcaIa
yesterday that might have cost him
his life. With another man, trav-
eler for a Jacksonville house. he
went to the Moose spread. Going
back to the depot in the early morn
ing he found that his grip and that
belonging to the other man had been
stolen. He was put on track of a
couple of white men who had been
hanging around the depot and he
and the other travelling man follow
ed them, finally holding them up and
/ demanding that they return to the
! city One of the fellows drew a gun
land Brown grabbed him. In the
fTacas the gun was discharged, the
fame soaring Browns stomach
slightly. The two men were brought
back to town, put through Judge
Smiths court and sentenced to pay
a fine of 500 each or serve six
i months on the roads.-Tampa Times.
/ Mr.. Brown must have dreamed
some of this. The two men referred
to were traced by City Marshal Bri-
i gance and arrested by him at Silver
! Springs junction. Neither of them
had a gun. If one had had a gun and
tried to use it, he would have been
held for the grand jury and gone III
for a year or more instead of six
months.

NATIONAL AID FOR THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
tBy W. 8. Gearhart State Highway Engineer.l

In general, | can see very little JUS
LITIGATION for national aid for high
ways, except the following:
(1) It would encourage states that
have not heretofore taken part IN the
movement to enter upon highway con-
struction.
(2) 1t would create a coherent sys-
tenn of through travelled roads, OF IN
terest not only to the states indiVid'
ually, but to adjoining states, and pos
sibly in some few cases, to several
states.
(3) II would distribute the cost
in such a way that construction might
be encouraged because the cost was
not all paid directly.
ca It would standardiZe highway
construction II an efficient national
commission were formed, and would
lead to better and more uniform con-
struction.
Too many persons favor national
aid because It seems to give some
thing for nothing, and not because
the scheme they suggest Is equitable
or because more economical results
win be obtained. II has seldom been
found that the expenditures OF spe-
cial appropriations under government
auspices has been actually economical
or that their distribution has been
based on fairness or equity.
/ have no sympathy with the idea
Of national aid for highways in the
form Of a Jackpot" for political dis
tdbution (such as the Rivers and Har-
bors and Public Buildings appropria-
tions), as It seemingly commonly de-
handed, and do not believe that the
cost Of these highways win be any
less because the cost is collected IN
directly BY the general government.
/ feel that It Is a sound principle that
those who get the benefits should pay
the larger share Of the cost, and b.
lIeve that any law formulated should

The Tree Surnenn.

A new profession has recently come
into being. We refer to the profess
sion of operating on sick trees in or
der to save their life and beauty. This
is q much more serious problem than
1t seems to be, ofthand, and the vari-
Gus state and federal authorities are
spending a great deal Of time and
money devising ways Of preventing
and curing tree ills.
Private citizens and public officials
have long been awake to these prob
lens In the eastern states, but wide
spread interest in the west is Of more
recent manifestation. This is largely
due to the fact that practically all OF
the diseases and pests which infest
our ornamental shade trees have first
shown themselves upon the eastern
coast. Nearly all have been imported
from foreign countries on nursery
stock, etc.
At the present time large areas in
the east are practically denuded OF
trees through the devastations Of the
Gypsy and Brown Tailed moths, San
Jose, Elm Tree and Oyster Shell scale,
chestnut bark diseases, and other Sc
rious pests. These pests are moving
steadily westward and every inch OF
their advance must be stubbornly con-
tested II the trees are 10 be saved.
One Of the best and easiest ways
to help our trees combat these and
other ills, IL to prune them properly,
30 as to conserve their strength, and
at the same time get the best posi-
BILE artistic results.
Most Of the readers Of this column
have to consider trees which are al
ready planted. rather than newly
planted ones. Generally speaking,
then, your trees should be pruned at
least once in two years and prefer
ably every year.
The tools to be used are a thin blad-
ed pruning saw and a pair Of pruning
shears. Cut on all suckers or water
SPROUTS, close to the branch.
Remove dead wood wherever found.
