 Road to Cost S100,0O000

Little Rocl, July 9.-Hugh R. Car ter, State Highway Engineer, reports that the contract for the construction of the 25-mile porion of the Russell vile Harrison road, in Pope county, will be awarded Aug. l. The bonds are to be sold next Wednesday, July IA. This will be the second sale of bonds under the Alexander Road Law passed by the last Legislature. The Pope county road will cost about .S100,000. The contract for the Ash down-Ogden road 16 miles, will be let July 22. The bonds, amounting to $60,000, have already been sold.
 For the first time in the history of the state, the building of good roads has been reduced to practical basis. Theory and talk have given way to ac- tual construction. It is estimated that before the close of the year there will be under actual construction, or in preparation, five million dollars worth of work in the state. There is now about S400 900 of work under way un- der the special acts, and nearly half a million under the Alexander act, the larger items being the following; lief .ferson county $125,000, Grant county S16O,000, Little River $60,0O0, and Pope county $100,000.

 The detective and John got out and stared about them. They were in the lower part of Chinatown, a single tier of blocks that stretched beyond the bounds toward the bay-not in the quarter, but of it,

 You won't find anything. of course" the officer remarked. But just for satisfaction let's have a look-see and a chin-chin with Sing Wah."
 They entered the shop just as a Chi nese was closing a panel door after Drake, who had come to make his promised attempt to win Ruth's con6- dcnce. Sing Wah was nowhere to be seen.
 After some futile barley with the Chinese, whose ignorance was com plete in every detail, the two officers agreed that they were wasting time.
 "Old Sings the boy to see." said the house detective. Let's wait awhile"
 Now, Sing Wah had pondered the affair during the night, and the more he thought over having lovely white girl in the cylindrical room the less he liked it. It was deadly dangerous. Courts might be lenient with the snug gler and the go-between. Sing Wah knew that if even a suspicion got abroad that young white woman was imprisoned in his quarters a ravening mob would tear his place stick from stone and hang him without trial He was determined to get the girl away immediately. So he was unfeignedly glad to see Drake.
 Drake attempted to explain what Wikerson wanted, but the Chinese cut him short

LAW ABOUT FISHING

There is a misunderstanding with a good many people about using sem to catch fish, and in order to make It clear to all we print in full:
 See. 16, Act. 124. Acts of the General Assembly 1915 session which reads as follows:
 Hereafter it shall be unlawful for any person or person to use sem, net or other device, other than hook and line, for the purpose of catching fish fro market purposes, without first procuring license for which license they shall pay an annual license fee of S1500.

 His earnestness wus pumiStAkable. and Ruth yielded A moment later they both stood on a small landing place above the cylindrical room. Sing Wah carefully drew up the ladder and coiled it again on the wooden trigger that had released it. Then he led the way down a dark passage to stairs lit by a mere glimmer of gas. Ruth drew back, but he indicated that she must go on. Even as she obeyed his impe- rlOus gesture there rang out the muf- fled clangOr of revolver shots. Then again came the sound of doors yielding to violence and the shouts of wrathful men
 Sing Wah hurried her on, down steps. along shadowy passa geways and under low arches till she felt sudden cool, salt breath on her face. At her feet she saw the glimmer of water and a boat riding to long painter. Quick ly and silently Sing Wah drew the lit tie craft alongside and motioned to her to get in.
 By this time the tumult had died down to a mere muttering of shots with an occasional yell. muffled by walls and the distance. She stared fearfully about her. at the great arches of dripping brick overhead at the little landing under foot, at the dark vista of the tunnel through which the water streamed in a swishing tide. She drew back and let her voice out in one long. fOrlorn scream, the pent up agony of many hours, her final call for help against the dark powers that had seiz- ed upon her.
 i With swift strength Sing Wah reach ed out his sinewy arms, raised her up ! and seated her in the stern of the boat. A moment later he had cast off the 1 painter and shipped the oars. The boat slipped silently away on the current I, into the murk.

While Southern clubwomen have held agricultural rallies, getting the attendance of as many women from the remote farms as possible, sending literature to others and trying to es- tablish markets where country women can get their wares to the city women, they are at the same time crusading against illiteracy by urging immediate legislation for compulsory school at tendance, and for more drastic laws to protect the child against field as well as factory labor.

the beginning of the present war the
American Government proposed to the
belligerent nations to ratify the
declaration of London and give its
provisions formal validity also.

The German Government has al

last. for what reasons it considers
that the conditions justifying the
sinking, under international law, were
present in the case of the William p.
Frye. The cargo consisted of con-
ditional contra band. the destinason of
which was for the hostile armed forces
was TO be presumed under the cir
cumstances; no proof to overcome this
presumption has been furnished.
More than half the cargo of the vessel
was contraband. so that the vessel was
liable to confiscation. The attempt to
bring the American vessel into Ger
man port would have greatly imperiled
the German vessel in the given situa-
ton OF the war, and at any rate prac-
tically defeated the success of her
further operations. Thus the au'
thority for sinking the vessel was
given according to general principles

treaty of 1885 provides that, in tbs
event OF a war between one of the
contracting parties with anothe

powers shall not be interrupted. bu
that, on the contrary, the vessel o

powers, even neutralizing enemy good

for the freedom of maritime inter
