DRAG THE ROADS.
Good Example Set by Progressive

Now that the hauling OF fertilizers

on our farmers the importance Of
Keeping the roads in such a condition
as to be passable. II seems to be i'm
practicable for the county officials to
attend to the matter, hence II is left
to the public TO either pull their stock
to death and wear out their wagons
over almost impossible roads. or put
the roads in shape themselves, and
this can be done. with a minimum OF
time and money By means Of the
drag

Last week Messrs George w.
Baker and Boyce Harper, at their
own expense, devoted just one-half a
day to dragging the Redfeld road
from the Jones-Elliott farm to An
tioch, distance OF about five miles.
What the three gentlemen have
done for the road over which they
have to haul, could be done for other
roads In the county. We urge upon
our farmers to get together and have
their neighborhood roads put in
travelling condition. The road drag

EVIDENCE WAS
NOT SUFFICIENT
SUPREME COURT DECISION FREES
NEGRO CONVICTED BECAUSE
DOGS TRAiLEp HIM.

Jackson, Miss, eFb. 11.-Blood-
hound evidence alone cannot send a
man to the penitentiary in Mississippi.
This was made plain by the supreme
court last Monday, when it handed
down decision saying that Will
Carter, negro of De Soto county, be
set free. Carter was sentenced for
one year and took an appeal to the
higher tribunal. He was convicted be-
cause he was captured after blood
hounds had taken a trail from store
house.
In the ruling the supreme court re-
fers briefly to the facts in the Carter
ease. The store Of s. T. Stewart, near
Coclkrum. had been broken into and
robbed of $12 in money after nightfall.
A telephone message for bloodhoLnds
brought the dogs to the scene 32 hours
later. They trailed from the store to
Carter's house, and then to Carter in
Dsrson. He was arrested and convict
ed. but several white citizens swore
regarding his good character. The su-
preme court judges say there was no
evidence against him except that of
the dogs. and asks this question:
Shall a person, charged with crime,
be convicted upon the fact. alone and
unsupported, that trained bloodhounds
traiied from the scene of the crime to
him.
In this connection the court says
that it has been held that evidence of
