OBION COUNTY FORMS
GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION
Large Delegation of Citizens Here
Last Week.

A very large crowd of citizens
from the various parts of the county
were here last Thursday attending
the good roads meeting at the Court
house. The lower courtroom was
filed, and among the number were
leading citizens of the various dis,
tricts, all of them good roads en-
thusiasts, but divided on the ques-
tion of bond issue.
| The Good Roads Association of
Obion County was formed with S. R.
Bratton, chairman, and J. o. Ben

The following committee was ap-
pointed to draft an enabling act for

be submitted to the Legislature for
action:

The following committee was ap-
pointed to lay out a system OF main

such an extent as to make it's tota

time. Too long has this gigantic
vampire stretched out it's blood
thirsty tentacles and sucked the
very life-blood from our smaller

In order to get rid of this evil

Merchants now Respondent will
take new hope and courage. New
buildings will spring up in our city

All local merchants must be

of one lone merchant here or there,
to break up the mail order monopoly
can have but little effect, but it is
self-evident that the combined eff

THIRTEEN NIGHTRIDERS
BOUND over, $500 EACH
Preliminary Hearing-Leslie and
Ernest Brice Exonerated
Without Trial.

The most interesting cases in Full
ton Circuit Court never drew larger
crowds than were in attendance
Friday morning, when County Judge
Elvis j. Stahr opened court in the
preliminary trial of the thirteen
men arrested last week on the
charge of "nightriding." This was
not the wording of the warrants, but
the case has been referred to more
generally as nightriding.
Judge F. S. Moore represented the
defendants, and County Attorney
Roney and H. T. Smith, of Fulton,
for the commonwealth. The de-
PENDANTS were marched in by Jailer
Murchison and deputies and seated
in the jury box The curious throng
INDUCED in craning of necks to
get a good look at a "nightrider,"
after which they fell into a silent
study of the mems faces. The room
was packed, and remained so for
two days and half, except fall
ing off in attendance was noticeable
Monday morning.
After some preliminary clashes on
part of the counsel for each side,
Judge Stahr ruled that he would
hear all the cases at once, instead
of making a separate trial of each
case, which was at first asked by
Attorney Moore. This settled both
sides announced ready. The wit
nesses for both sides were placed un-
der rule. A few failed to answer to
their names when called and attach
ments were issued for them.
In brief, the arrest and trial of
these defendants is the elimination
of reign of lawlessness which has
been carried on to a greater or less
extent in the lower bottom for sew
eral months. The tendency has been
to run the negroes (tenants) out by
threats and intimidation. On the
night of Feb. 10 four houses, occu-
pied by negroes, were shot up on the
farms of w. c. Upton and w. J.
Harper. Authorities got busy, with
the result that the following men
were charged with taking part in
this particular occasion after John
Touey turned States evidence:
Tom Carr, Fred Smith, Bud Thorn
as, Noah Knight, Will Garden, CIar-
ence ST. Clair, Bob Ellis, Ottie Dot
son, Bud Dotson, Bobb Webb, Jess
Harrison, Chas Huff, Vodie Mont
gomery.
In last weeks paper the names of
Leslie and Ernest Brice were includ-
ed in this list. They were not con-
nected with the case, and were ex-
onerated without trial.
The case, after being stubbornly
contested all the way through, came
to a close Monday morning with
eloquent arguments by both Moore
and Smith.
Judge Stair reviewed the case
from all angles and explained his
position from a point of law and
not from that of his private senti-
nents. The evidence, he believed,
rs governed in preliminary trials,
vas sufficient to warrant his holding

OBITUARY.
James H. Smith. fCou4ribT1fedN

Tn every community are found ex- ernp1es which teach lessons to those who are observing. By no means is it true that education and wealth insure success, and as an instance the life of James H. Smith may be cited No fortunate circumstances surrounded his youth, with the exception of his possession of most estimable parents, and his progress was accomplishe ed entirely by his own efforts, from the very bottom of the ladder to his re- sponsible position as agent of the great Qu!nebaug Manufacturing company of East Brooklyn.
 The Smith family is an old and honorable one of Windhan county and many members of it have become prominent in various circles of life. oJhn Smith, the grandfather of James H.

 John Smith (2) son of John, was born in 1895, fin Killingly, Conn.& on the old farm of his father and was reared a farmer boy, although at man. hood he turned his attention in an other direction. As a merchant he be- came well known to the residents of East KiIlingly, conducting a general store in that locality for nine years, moving then to Dayville, where he also embarked in a mercantile bus mess, which he carried on for some years. A few years were spent on the

In the city court Thursday morning Dr. George ?. Luther was presented before Judge J. Harry Mann on com plafnt of Mrs. A. l.. Harris, who al legged that the dentist had seized her by the arms and shook her when she went to his office Wednesday for the purpose of collecting q bill. The hear ing was n-drawn-ou Dr Luther entered an absolute denial during his testimony of having laid his hands on Mrs Harris and he was supported in this statement by his two assistants, George Harrington and Joseph J. Will lis
 Mrs. Harris claimed that Dr. Luther held her by the arms and shook her and then left the room where they were and went into another room in iaS offices. He came out holding a cloth in his hand and she screamed. Ralph Bradford, who happened to be passing through a hallway in the building was called as a witness and said he heard @ woman scream, but he knew no more about the circum- stances nor what may have caused the Outcry.
 Mrs Harris testimony as to what took place in the office was unsupport- ed, as the only other persons pres ent at the time she says the alleged happening took place were pr. Luther. and his assistants and they were a unit in their testimony that Dr Luther did not lay hands on her. Judge Mann extended permission to Mrs Harris to question the witness in the case ar the conclusion of which he announced that he would reserve his decision un- til today.
