President Finley ofthe Southern
Railway Company in the course of
an address which he recently de-
l!vercd before the Chamber Of
Commerce at New Haven, Conn,
said:
"The country highway, as the
road over which farm products
move in the first of their move
ment to the consumer and over
which merchandise is distributed
in rural communities, is an impor-
tant factor in our national life in
which residents of cities and
towns as well as farmers are in
terested, Heretofore, in many
parts of the United States these
roads have been poorly built and
inadequately maintained, In later
years there has been an awaken
ing to the great economic import
ance of good roads which has
given effective vitality to a nation
wide movement for the improve
ment Of the country highway"

Whereas, the Board Of Super
visors Of Leflore County, MissiS-
sippi, upon petition Of some Of
the citizens of Leflore County at
its FEBRUARY 1913, meeting, or
dcred that a mass meeting Of the
citizens of LcfIore County, inter-
ested in good roads, be called to
meet at the court house of
said county on the first Monday
of March, 1919. Notice is hereby
given in accordance to said order
that the citizens OF said county do
on the first Monday Of March,
assemble at the court house of
SAID county in m~asS.meetlng, then
and there, to discuss the question
Of good roads, and all other mat
terS Of public interest, for pur-
pose of advising the said Board of
Of Supervisors.

The status of the Bank Of Le-
flore remains unchanged. As
signee R. V. Pollard informs The
Commonwealth that within the
next few days he will have state
mentS made out and sent to each
depositor and each debtor, show
ing their exact standing with the
late bank, and that the collection
of all amounts due the concern
will be pushed as rapidly as prac-
tiCable.

The train service on the Webb
Branch of the Southern Ry. stands
head and shoulders above that Of
any other coming into Greenwood.
Conductor w. H. Shute informs
The Commonwealth that his train
has not failed to make any trip or
any past of a trip during the past
twelve months. There is another
splendid feature about the Branch
road, viz, accidents seldom hap
pen on it, and the company doesn't
have to worry over damage suits.
The people along this line are sat
isfied with the accommodating,
reliable train service they receive,
which is very gratifying to Conduc-
tor Shute and his corps of assist
ants.

PLAYING WITH FIRE.

Under the above caption, Capt.
j, S. McNeily, the editor of the
Vicksburg Herald, so clearly dis
cusSes the effect of some Of the
criticisms resulting from the Beu-
lah crevaSse that we reproduce
the editorial in full as follows:
After sitting in Judgment on
the Mississippi Levee Commits
sioners and bringing in a verdict
against them for careless, negli-
gent and inefficient discharge of
duties etc, the Shaw resolutions
which the Herald publishes today,
asks the governor to have an in
veStigation of the case they have
passed on. This seems inCOnsist-
ent. 1t is like hanging first and
and trying after. But reason and
justice can hardly be looked for
from the victims of a blow that
was so plainly avoidable. In all
times, in peace and in war, it is a
habit Of human nature, when
smarting under disaster, to de-
mand a sacrifice. And very often,
if not most often, avenging wrath
is misplaced.
while the Herald would not
seek to deprive the Shaw citizens
of the comfort they derive from
their resolutions, we would re-
mark that the rejection by the
Levee Board Of the tender of con-
victS prior to the BeuIah CrevaSse,
was amply justified by the ac-
counts of the experience with
those that were sent to Filters.
After going to the cost of their
transportation, they were return
ed, as we are informed, for the
reason that they were not worth
their salt; refused to work where
they were ordered to. Having
been forbidden to use the only
means of compulSion that convicts
are moved by, those in charge of
them were powerlesS to force
them.
Under the circumstances, the
Herald would not presume to
even depreCate Beulah CrevasSe
mass meetings and resolutions
which are deemed unjust and in
opportune did we not look on
them as playing with fire. We do
not refer as to their harm as SOW
ers Of the seed of local faction
while this is evil enough it is a
matter for those directly involved
to decide upon. What we mean
is that the mischief may extend
beyond. There is pending in con-
greSS a rivers and harborS ap-
preparation bill, the passage of
which all Delta people must look
upon as Of paramount Importance;
carrying as it does some millions
for flood protection. There is a
strong opposition to that feature
of the bill--it has enemies in con-
greSs who will be only too ready
to use all these sweeping and in
discriminate assaults upon the
levee administration as argument
and admission of the weakness of
the whole system and plan of
protection.
I'VE may Illustrate the possibil-
tiles of evil in overflow indigna-
ton meetings at this j~uncture, by
relating a circumstance occurring
in the 1890 constitutional conven-
ton. In debating the elective
franchise scheme one of the ableSt

ingly bitter attack on, and expos
