The Adair County news., 1914-02-04

We were notified by wire last
Thursday, the message coming
from Congressman Helm, that
the Board of Army Engineers
would report favorably on an
appropriation to lock and dam the
upper Cumberland. For a time
it seemed that this proposed i'm
provement would be delayed in
definitely and since the prospect
is so f1attering we take pleasure
in giving the news to our read
ers. Congressman Helm, STAN
ley, Shirley and James have all
been active in securing the i'm
provemert of the Cumberland
and it is gratifying to know that
their labors will be crowned with
success. This means much to
the section of country through
which this stream flows for no
railroad facilities are in reason
able reach, While Adair county
does not border on the river, yet
a large parts the county extends
to within a few miles and Co.
lumbia will betcloser to the boats
than to a Erailroad. When the
improvement is made more than
half of the shipping from this
county will beiby the river road
unless a railroad is secured. To
Hon. Harvey Helm we tender
our good will and wishes for the
interest and effective service
rendered in securing this most
needed improvement, beneficial
to the State and especially to
this section.

THE CONTESTS.

Last week considerable inter-
est was manifested in the con-
tests instituted by w. T. Ottley
against Judge Hereford for
County Judge and Eli Strange
against Tobias EHuffaker for
School Superintendent. T h e
count in the Strange-Huffaker
case left the election Of Mr.. HUFF
faker undisputed and his election
was confirmed. In the Ottley-
Hereford case Mr.. Ottley gained
forty-two votes in the West Co.
lumbia precinct, enough to put
him in the lead. The attorney
fer the defense alleged fraud and
moved that the case be continued
10 the May term of court which
was so decreed. ION the follow
ing day, however, Mr.. Ottley
withdrew from the contest and
We publish his withdrawal notice

The weather in this section has
been very nice so far this winter
with the exception of plenty of
rain. About sixteen inches has
fallen in the last six weeks.
The grass is about a foot high,
vegetables are growing nicely,
and the prospects are good for
crops. Our markets are full of
strawberries, green beans, peas
and all other kinds of vegetables
though we have them all the
year.
We expect quite a boom here
this year as we voted bonds to
the amount of one million seven
hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars for an on ;er and inner har.
Dor, and the work has already
commenced. The Rivers and
Harbors committee in Congress

disease amongst cattle, Eleven in
81 ectors from the U. S. Agricultural
Department have been at work in
Maryland and our own Live Stock
Sanitary Board has instructed its var
ious county veterinarians and all vet
Urinary surgeons to make a careful
and complete canvass of their sections
for any symptoms of the disease.
Cecil county, along with ten other
counties of the State, has been in
cluded in the Governors proclamation
published elsewhere in this issue)
prohibiting cunning with dogs and
also makes it unlawful to permit any
dog to run at large. There seems to
be a general disposition to heed the
proclar nation in the interest of public
welfare.
Persons who do not heed the prOcla
nation should be prosecuted, as dogs
running at large are regarded as one
of the most dangerous methods OF
spreading the disease. Local officials
should cooperate with the Live Stock
Sanitary Board to save US from the
dreadful loss of an invasion of this
epidemic.

A Valuable Suggestion

The present Grand Jury of Queen
Anne's county seems to be awake to
it's responsibilities and opportunities.
Amongst its very pointed and practi-
cal recommendations to the Court last
week was one relating to automobile
traffic which the WING herewith re-
produces and recommends to the con-
sideratiOn of Cecil's County Commits
siOners.. The Queen Anne's Grand
Jury says:
lowing to the many accidents and
narrow escapes incident to the use of
WINGED that the law regulating the
speed and safely running of the same,
is disregarded, that the lives of our
citizens are seriously menaced and jeo-
pardized, but, by reason of the made
quate means and facilities in the hands
of our officers, the offenders are not
apprehended. In order, therefore, that
additional protection may be secured
to the travelling public, we earnestly
recommend that the proper authori-
ties be empowered to appoint suit
able person to be known as the County
road Constable, with authority to
make arrests, that he be furnished
with motorcycle and directed to pa
troll the through highways in this
county, that the compensation of this
official and other details of his duties
be determined by the County Com
missioners. Similar provisions for the
public safety are in force in other
communities and we feel that some
such protection should be afforded
here"
