We agree fully with Mr..
Heiskell that the narrow-tire
wheel is destructive OF roads,

narrow tires are destroying roads
faster than the road drag and all
other agencies can repair them;
but we must take exception 10

present scandalous expense OF

IL MI. Heiskell will modify his
injunction 10. while advocating
additional expense of dragging
you should also oppose the pres
ent scandalous expense of roads,

Why, do you allow the people
10 progress so steadily backward
IN the matter OF roads.
You frequently urge the use
OF the road drag-bnt you say
nothing about the non.use of that
internal machine. the narrow tire.
The Monroe Enquirer tells a
STORY when il says: Dragging
is the cheapest way TO make .
good road" No such .hingl The
cheapest way to make better
than ..good'' roads il to abats
! the narrow tire nuisance.
First, stop making the bad
roads. Than take stock. Take
the showing by the Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station, where, on Aug
ust %, September II, and
November 20, 1895, ordinary
earth roads were good under six
inch tires and Dad under one and
one-half inch tires. BY good
mean that horse, vehicle, and
road each cost less. And, of
course, bad means the opposite.
The average first trip pull of the
Six inch tires was 81 pounds; the
average pull, one and hall
inch, So pounds. Now, will you
be good enough to print a story
of a drag that could save road,
vehicle and horse from that Al
per cent Of worse than useless
pull and horse and vehicle from
its effects? Essentially, the six
inch tires worked a saving in
every cost of horse, vehicle and
road. and precluded all excuse
for the drag.
Instead of advocating addition
al expense of dragging, you
should oppose the present scan
dalous expense of roads, vehicles
and horses due to our fool use oil

being watched in every nook and
corner in Mississippi. Practically
every citizen had his mind made
up as to the motives that prompt
ed the indictment Of Lieut.. Gov.
ernor Bilbo and since almost
every ten year old child in this
state knows this distinguished
citizens, this case has enlisted
more interest than possibly any
case ever tried in this state.
The csse presented some re-
markablc features. Among these
that Of the trial Judge, J. A. Teat,
from Koscusko who although
proved 10 have been biased pref
udiced and wholly unfit to sit in
the case, yet cogged;y, rudely
and brazenly threw aside every
right Of the defendant and sat on
the case anyhow. Such a spec
tacle has never been known, so
lar as we are advised, in the
history OF this or any other state.
Hence, from the first every spec
sator and citizen as well looked
for the worst They felt the case
was prsj=dged. that ill-will was
ia the heart OF the tri al Judge
and since the sheriff was a well
known enemy Of defendant to-
gether with all the machinery

It was conceded that if the de-
PENDANT escaped a verdict Of
guilty he would indeed be for.
tunate. The result il the entire
state is insuited; their courts
dragged into the mire of infamy
and the proud name of the state
forever disgraced.
In this case it was related,
under cath, by some Of the states
best men, that Gov. Brewer in
this case attempted to bride and
suborn Witnesses. Yet the court
in the case Of Jim Anderson the
planter from Tunica county, re-
fused to allow this testimony tn
the jury. Gov. Brewer acknoxl-
edged that ne had had in his
home the notorious detective and
scoundrel, Ira II. Sample and
that he had used this william in
this work. Gov. Brewer Vas
white as a sheet. il Is said. when
he Vas telling the supposed story
of hox Hobbs made a confession
to him. and how be had tined to
uphold the honor(.) Of the state
save the mark, and in what good
Iaith he had acted. The audience
hooted at him and showed
heir utter disgust at him. Itl
Was the spectacle of the Cover
nor OF . great state acting in
such a way as 10 cause the
spectators to believe he was
wilfuily perjuring himself and
this was freely heard around the
court room. In fact both Senator
Hobbs Who was acquitted at
Vicksburg and Lieut. Gov. Bilbo
each swore that Gov. Brewer
was lying from start to finish. 1t
was indeed sad and shameful
spectacle for the Governor of
this state.
That the court was biased and
prejudiced and failed and re.
fused to allow the defendant a
fair trail was shown by every
ruling he made. When the state
had damaging testimony against
the defendant that was allowed;
when the defendant had proof to
show this was false, the court
did not allow this proof to be
heard by the jury. 1t is said a
true stenographic copy of this
whole trial including every ruling
OF the court and every motion
made by counsel on either side
was kept and will be shown the
people of this state. A fitting
memorial to the degradation into
which our courts have fallen.

THE SPLIT-LOG DRAG FOR
ROADS.

The new roads running out
from town have been cared for
by the use Of the split-log drag
and il has demonstrated beyond
question that it is the correct
solution of the road problem.
There are but two essential. TO
road building: First, the road
bed MUST be well drained second.
it must be kept smoothed over to
prevent ruts by use of the drag.
A road where water stands is a
mud hole in the rainy season but
any road that prevents water
from standing on it can be made
ID ANY day of the year. That
is what we need in preference to
any bond issues.

ID TEAT AND THE
BlLBOC CASE.

Opportunity comes but once.
{ is ssid. and il seems that Judge
eat of Kosciusko his missed il.
le never knew anything Of Judge
t'eat until his connection with
ne Bilbo trial. In this trial
Jason Niles. son Of Judge II. c.
Niles. a former partner Of Judge
Teat. together with several other
prominent citizens of Kosciusko,
made affidavits that Judge Teat
vas basel and preiudiced against
Bilbo and had publicly stated
that Bilbo was scrook and guilty
and ought to be in the PEN
i%tentiary. These afidavits were
fled and Judge Teat urged to
excuse himself and not to try the
case. He fiaty refused.
The Issue published at Jackson
last week simply blistered the
trial Judge; it published some OF
the most astounding charges
ever printed in this state. One
was a signed article by Duncan
II. Chamberlain a former stu
dent ard graduate of the Univer-
sity. Chamberlain charges Judge
Teat with all sorts of misconduct
rs Judge. Then too TIE report
comes that Judge Teat has his
eye on the governorship and il
he can land Bilbo in the pen he
will be governor. That all may
sound well to Judge Teat but he
ought to know the people are not
fooled. He ought to know that
the people believe he, Gov.
Brewer and Judge Henry UNDER
stood each other fully and that's
why he is the judge in this case.
The conclusion the public has.
Is not complimentary to Judge
Teat. IL is said too that many of
the Judges friends from home
have tried 10 keep him out of
this case but he would not listen.
The result is that Judge Teat
who Is a candidate before the
people for election to the place
ne now holds has lost the
opportunity. The people be.
iEeve he is one of the conspirators
TO ruin Bilbo; they say he can't
he elected TO anything. Judge
Teat's rulings, il is said, are
arbitrary, discourteous. unreaso.
able and unjust. Even BiFbo's
enemies say Bilbo is no, getting
as1uare deal. Judge Teat has
iost the opportunity of his lMe;
he ought 70 have sustained the
demurrer 70 the indictment
thrown ths case out of court; had
he done this he wosad have been
the idol Of = hundred thousand
voters in this state. Il was his
duty under the Law to do this; he
fAi he lost his chance; he
ruined his entire future and his
name will 60 down in history as
a thing to be summed and des-
pissed. Jcdse Teat may yet
somewhere in the case redeem
himself but, for many purposes,
II is too late. Too mueh work of
