AS a result of AN accident, which
occurred on the Clifton-Morenci road.
shortly after midnight Friday, a
| Veile 40-car lies at the bottom of a
canyon about two miles from Clifton.
almost total wreck, and Shorty
Goode are in the A. c.. hospital
suffering from injuries received in
the wild dash of the car down the
mountain side.
Shortly after midnight a party OF
! five engaged the Viele car owned by
Clay Pridemore, who recently came
here from Silver City, for a trip to
Morenci. Just as the car was leaving
its stand on Chase Greek two other
men boarded the car, jumping on the
running board as the car started. In
cluded in the party were Shorty Jar
rett, of Clifton, an employee of the A.
G. machine shops; A. R. Coleman, of
Twin Peaks; M. E. Perry, formerly
of Morenci but at present living at
rDuncan; Clay Pridemore, driver; and
Messrs. Reed, Willard Sidebotham.
Tom Windham and Dick Goode.
Climbing the hill out of Clifton the
era was travelling at slow rate OF
speed, according to the driver not TO
exceed five miles an hour Two
hacks coming toward Clifton were
passed and as the car was making a
turn in narrow part of the road
third hack was encountered. Pride
more turned to the right side of the
road allowing sufficient room for
the hack to pass but states positively
that the driver of the hack failed to
pull out and he was forced to swerve
his car to the extreme right of the
road to avoid a collision. AS he
did so the two right hand wheels went
over the crown of the, road into the
soft dirt. For a second the car
stopped, then tilted. The right hand
rear wheel gave way and in another
instant the car was rolling and tumb-
ling down the steep embankment to
the bottom of the canyon below fully
distance of seventy-five feet
The two men on the running board
jumped to safety and were not injur-
ed. The remaining six went down
with the car. The body of Shorty Jar
rett was pinned beneath the car
when it first turned over and he
was found few feet below the road
way. He was badly crushed and
when carried to the hospital was
bleeding internally. Dick Goode was
cut about the head and severely
bruised. The remaining passengers
with minor injuries, including
the driver, who went to the bottom
with his car, still retaining hold on
the steering wheel. ~
Cadillac car containing three pas.
sengers coming from Morecni, gave
the first assistance to the injured men
and brought some of them into Cliff
ton, The news spread rapidly and in
a few minutes other cars rushed TO
the scene and brought in the remain
ing injured ones. 49, -

for the recovery of Jarrett

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
PROVIDING FOR 100000 BOND
ISSUE FOR THE STATE HIGHWAY

name would imply it will be the duty
of this board to advice the state en-
gineer as to all questions pertaining
TO the expenditure of the fund in the
construction of the state highway sys-
tenn and to make frequent inspections
of the work. It will also be their duty
to keep a check on all expenditures
by examination of the accounts of the
office of the state engineer an1 to give
Uub-lcity to their funds both as tn the
construction work and expenditures
by reports to the governor
The system of highways designated
in this amendment comprises about
1900 miles and the bond issue of S.
100000 will therefore provide and av-
erage of about $4,000 per mile. The
actual cost of construction per mile of
road will vary from a few hundred to
several thousand dollars, dependent
upon the topography of the country,
availability of road material and the
traffic to be accommodated. The
fund is sufficient for such construc-
ton of this system of highways as will
be commensurate with the traffic and
development of the state for some
years to come.
The greater portion of this fund
probably from 80 to 80 per cent, will
go into the most permanent construc-
tion, grading, draining, culverts and
bridges, which, with ordinary mainte-
nance, will far outlast the life of the
bonds. The balance will go into sur
facing, principally with local material,
as caliche, gravel, decomposed gran
ite, ETC., and where the traffic is too
heavy for such material a more eX-
pensive road surfacing will have to be
adopted, such as Stag, macadam, BIZ
luminous concrete or cenment con-
crete. More careful study will have
to be given to this subject of proper
surfacing than to any other in con-
nection with the construction of these
highways, therefore it is of greatest
importance in the event this amend
ment carries, that the highway ad-
visory board consist largely of men
whose training and experience Will
enable them to aid, by their advice,
the state engineer in properly solving
the road surfacing and other kind
led problems1t IS necessary that they
be of such standing in the state as
to insure confidence among the
peorle that this fund is being hon
esfIy and efficiently expended for the
it was intended. They will
have all the authority necessary to
do this; authority to inspect the
work, to examine the accounts and
tc make public their findings. Pub
licity is the best and only necessary
to put around the eXpen-
diture of public funds 1t protects
both the public and the honest Off
cial. ,...-~ - ses ---'-

The death last week of Hon.
Adlai Stevenson, former vice
president of the United States,
was learned with deep regret by
his many friends and admirers
all over the Southland. Mr..
Stevenson was yice-president in
the Cleveland administration,
being elected in 1892. Mr.. Ste
venson's rugged honesty, free
dom from the slightest affecta-
ton or pretense, were golden
qualities in his exalted charac-
ter that won the abiding conf
dence of every man who looked
into his ewes and heard him
speak. He was pre-eminently a
man of poise, of clear vision,
capable of postponing Judgment
until a question has been weigh
ed with care and viewed from
every angle. Besides serving
with Grover Cleveland with dis
tinction, he was nominated on
the Democratic ticket with Mr..
Bryan in 1900. Two years ago
he was nominated by the Demo
Gratis for governor of Illinois.
Though defeated, he made a
good race.

Seneca and Tugaloo. This town

Seneca and Tugaloo. This town
was called Anders onville, and
some stores were located here
and a factory started for making
small arms during the war of
1912, and some guns had been
made when the war ended and
put an end to it. These stores
bought a good deal of pinkroot
from the Indians, and this was
packed into hogsheads of 800
pounds and rolled to Charleston,
where it brought 25 cents a
pound. Genseng and snakeroot
was also bought here and pack
ed into hogsheads. But Ander-
sonville's glory has departed,
too.
There were some famous men
who practiced at.the Pendleton
bar, many of them from other
points. Among them were J ohm

and the late Governor Perry.
Just here let me relate little
incident told me by my grand
father, the late Col. D. <: Ham
ilton. There was in the bounds
of the district a notorious des-
perado named Corbin, who had
committed various crimes in
Guiding one or two murders. and
had successfully defed arrest
and trial. The judge, knowing
ing his desperate character, had
issued a bench warrant for his
arrest and placed it in the hands
of the sheriff with orders to ar
rest him at all hazards. Mr.. 4:
B. Benson was then sheriff, and
information reached him that
Corbin would be at a certain
house on a certain night. He
summoned a posse of nine men,
among whom was my grand
father, and they proceeded to the
place at a late hour in the night
and proceeded to quietly sur
round the house. They had to
pass through a set of drawbars
and had surrounded house with
every man placed except one,
and in passing through the bars
his horse stumbled over them,
which aroused Corbin and he
Jumped out of bed and ran
through the back door and start

to halt when ordered, this man

men about him and they all
took a solemn oath never to re-
veal the name of the slayer.

Information gathered by the

for cities is growing rapidly in
popularity. The data assembled
by the bureau indicates that it
is cheaper by far than the old
system Of mayor and aldermen.
It is simply business principles
