EXPLOSIVES IN WAR
 FOR OVER 700 YEARS

It is now nearly seven hundred years since Roger Bacon invented black gunpowder, and from that date down to the present era explosives have played. an increasing important part in all warfare. But never before in the history of the world, has there been such terrible application of explosives in the destruction of life and property as that witnessed on the battlefields of Europe in the past six months. The amount and value of ex- plosives already used by Germany, France. Russia and Great Britian and the other belligerants has been stu pendous. It has been rumored in fact that one of the parties engaged in the struggle is rapidly exhausting the stocks of explosives, accumulated dur ing the long years preceding the war
 As several of the raw materials re- quired in the manufacture of expIo- sives are not produced in Germany and had to be imported in the past there may be some truth in this ru- nor, and she may find great difficuI- ty in keeping in keeping her armies supplied with the ammunition neces- sary for warfare on the modern scale John B. c. Kershaw, in the Engin- eering Magazine.

New York, June 2-To protect themselves. against the epidemic of typhoid now claiming scores of vic- tims in stricken France Miss Elizabeth Marbury, Miss Anne Morgan and Miss Elsie de Wolfe, who will leave next month to carry on the hospital work established in their chateau at Yer sailles, said they have arranged to be inocuIated with typhoid serum before sailing.
 There are hundreds of typhoid pa tients in the hospitals of F'rance,'' said one of the nurses, "and any one ex- pecting to go to France should take this precaution.''

 The Syracuse Rotary Club, which numbers 175 members, is sending out a circular letter to It's members and friends calling attention to the, taxes paid to the city by the trolley com panies, the obligations they are under as to the up-keep of the streets, the number of men they give employ ment to, their payroll and other de- tails the evident object being to deter members and trends from patronizing the Jitneys.
 The wall Street Journa1'' the other day gave up the best part of two columns to a discussion of the jitney problem from an economic point, claiming that jitney operation at a profit is "an economic impossi- bilfty." and also that experience shows that up-keep and depreciation absorb revenues of the service '' That paper claims that operating costs cents a mile, while the gross average income is 1-2 cents mile.
 Since the appearance of the jitney at Houston, Tex, early last Decem- Der the management of the Houston Electric Company has made periodi- cal cheeks of the operation of every car of that character. In that city the effect of the jitney has been more than usually hurtfu1, because about 75 per cent of the travel is within a two-n11e zone. In fact, most of the lines are less than three miles long, and there are but four lines which are five miles to six miles long. The jitneys are operating throughout al most all the territory of inc com pany. -i+
 In another southern city checking jitney work from March 26 to April 25, inclusive, showed that 401 jftneys carried an average of Is, ,229 passen- gers a day and earned an average of only $911.48, or but $2.27 gross each. Two of the most popular routes in the city were selected for the experiment because of their short hauI-twenty
 minutes for the round trip.

than during election. because any
candidate that is not in favor of
good roads and the general good
of the county regardless of what
his Office is, is no: the proper man
to represent you in Office and does
not have the business interest OF
your county at heart. The soon
er you find 1t out the better.
The writer of these articles can
not be personally benefited any
more by this than tn. average
farmer and he is not writing these
articles, save for the common well
fare of the county. In few days
a petition for these good roads
will be presented you for your
signature. This petition will be
presented to the Board of Super
visors at their regular meeting and
if there should be sufficient mum.
Der of land owners signing this
petition then the Board of Super
visors. have no choice, save the
authorizing of the bonds and the
appointment of a commission.
The Road Commission should con-
sist of three representative busi-
ness men, and should be men of
unquestioned integrity and energy.
Men who are going to see that the
county gets the very best roads
possible for the money expended.
The first thing then for the com
mission to do Is to meet. or
ganize and appoint capable engi-
neer. The commission with aid
of the engineer then decides
the routes for these trunk lines.
The engineer prepares an estimate
of the cost of the roads. The COM
mission then goes before the Board
of Supervisors with a cost sheet
asking for bonds sufficient to de-
fray the cost of them. These
bonds are then authorized and are
bid off TO the highest bidder.
There is law in Mississippi tha:
these bonds cannot be sold for less
than par. The market is in such
condition at the present time
that you will have no troelble to
sell at par and possibly you will
get premium on your bonds.
When the money is put in the
Treasury it is then proper that the
custodian of this money shall Sc
cure same by proper bond SO that
you will not have a recurrence of
your former issue. After you
have received the money you then
advertise for bidders to do the
work by contract.
At a letting at StarksvilIe a few
days ago there were thirty-four
men there to bid on the contract.
which shows you that you will get
just and fair bid.
Now. Just word on the con-

is awarded to a contractor he is
required to give bond sufficient

NEWS Of D|Az'S
DEATH BE[ATED

Mexico City, Aug. 3.-News of tho
death of General Porfirio Diaz. who
for 30 years ruled Mexico with an
iron hand, reached here in a belated
cablegram. His passing away caused
a profound sensation, but few of those
thus affected were aware of the fact
that two of his daughters are living
in obscNrity in this city. Not only
have they been in hiding a greater
part of the time, but they have been
compelled to elk out an xistence by the
sale of jewels and household effects,
trusting these to a faithful servant to
pawn or sell outright that food might
be brought to their hiding place. An
effort is to be made to smuggle them
out Of the country that they may join
the family now in France.
That they are not in Europe at the
present time is due to the fact that
they refused to leave the sides Of
their husbands when the Diaz regime
came 10 an enc some five years ago.
Since then the two women have been
widowed, If current reports are to be
credited; they have seen their prop
critics burned ans looted by various
military factions until little more than
the land remains and this has been
divided among Zapata generals.

judicial district, restraining the COM
missiOners, auditor and treasurer Of
Slope county and the B. f. Meinecke
Building company OF Fargo, from pro-

Mass meetings have been held at ev-

legal action and q stay Of proceedings.
1t is claimed to be plainly contrary to
law to expend such large sums with.
out a vote of the people; that a ma

the outlay; that with 100000 as

sufficient; that the present court
house is adequate until the perman-

The bridge injunction is a hard

to furnish a safe crossing for tourists
that the commissioners Of Slope
