GOOD PAY ROLL
EVERY WEEK At
PRESENT TIME
THE WORK OF REBUILDING ARD
MORE CALLS FOR MEN AND
MONEY - MECHANICS ARE ALL
BUSY, But NO MORE NEEDED.

Ardmore has a good payroll every
Saturday night, as a result of the
enormous task of rebuilding the city,
wrecked by the awful explosion CT
September o. Every mechanic and
laborer in the city who wants work.
has job staring him in the face fer
six days in the week, and in some
instances the Sabbath is not as
closely observed as formerly.
Mechanics state that there is
enough local labor to handle the sit-
uation, and as home people are con
sidered first by contractors, several
persons from outside the city have.
been disappointed recently, when they
arrived here and found nothing for
them to do. There has been no dis
order among laborers, of any kind,
and all are willing. during the pres
ert crisis, to cast aside technicahties
and work together for the upbui'ding
of the city.
The relief committee has been uu
able to secure employment for sey-
eral people, and they were especially
impressed with the way most of the
colored citizens came forward after
the disaster and begged 20 be assign
ed to work with or without pay. The
negroes OF Ardmore were warmly
commended by the relief committee, !
for their attitude during the trouble.
Within the next thirty days, many
new buildings will be well upder way
on the sites of those wrecked by :de
explosion.

On the western front, the chief ac.

NEGRO HANGED AT MURPHYS-
6oRo, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY. IN
PRESENCE OF LARGE CROWD.
ALL WERE DEPUTIES
To Make Attendance Legal, All Were
Deputzed by the Sheriff - Neoro
Killed Wife of Prominent White
Attorney.

Murphysboro, ILL.,, Oct 16.-Joe De-
berry, negro, was hanged here today
for. the murder of Mrs. j. H. Martin.
a white woman.
Two thousand persons were in the
stockade surrounding the gallows to
witness the execution. To make the
presence Of so many legal, all who
had the sheriff's permission to at
tend had been deputized.
Mrs. James II. Martin, wife of
well known attorney of southern Hi
nois was murdered at her home here
on the afternoon of July 30, 1915, by
Joe Deberry, a negro, whose parole
from the state reformatory she had
obtained.
The crime was committed, accord
ing to the negro's story, after Mrs.
Martin had refused to give him fifty
cents. Deberry, angry, followed Mrs
Martin to her room and beat her to
death with a poker.
The crime was discovered about an
hour after it was committed, and De-
berry was arrested as a suspect To
prevent mob violence the sheriff took
him first to Marion, ILL.,, then to Carmi
and then to Harrisburg, the mob fol
lowing in automobiles. A pretense
of taking the prisoner from Harris
burg was also made, but in fact he
was kept there until he was brought
to Murphysboro for his trial.
While in the Harrisburg Jail, De-
berry confessed.
On Sunday, August 30, Deberry was
smuggled out of the Harrisburg jail
under the protection of three COM
panies of the Illinois National Guard
and taken to Murphysboro for trial.
The guardsmen were on duty at the
court house the following day, when
the case was called, but no trouble
resulted.
Deberry pleaded guilty, but the pre-
siding Judge would not accept the
plea until Deberry had consulted coun-
sci, and as Deberry had no attorney,
the court designated one to represent
him.
After consultation with his attorney,
Deberry again pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to be hanged on October 16,
1915.
Less than three weeks after the
murder of his wife, James II. Martin
lied. His death was attributed largely
10 shock caused by the tragedy.

PARCEL POST WAGONS
Agitation Will Result in Giving Ard
moro Wagon Mail Delivery.

j number of patrons of The ID
moreite have requested that we make
campaign to obtain wagons for the
purpose of making parcel post de-
liveries. Our investigation of the
matter reveals the fact that some
cities smaller than Ardmore have the
use of these wagons, and that some
that are larger do not have them. IN
other words, the government gives
them to the towns that 90 s.'ter then
in earnest, and press the claims Of
their necessity. Persons who get
their mail delivered to their doors
must so in person or send to the
office to get parcel post packages of
considerable size or weight.
Postmaster Byrne will be pleased
to install the service when it is or
dered, and Congressman Carter has
agreed to make the request Of the
postoffice department at Washington.

MILITARY
ROADS ARE A
NECESSITY
GOVERNMENTS ATTENTION is
CALLED TO THE NECESSITY OF
ROADS PARAlLELlNG WATER
FRONTS OF UNITED STATES.

Washington, ID. c., October 16.-
That military preparedness for de
fense includes extensive road con
struction, viewed from the standpoint
of the country as a whole, is made ap.
parent in sentiment which comes from
the Atlantic seacoast, the Pacific
slope, and even the Gulf of Mexico.
Recently the Alabama legislature
unanimously passed a joint resolution,
prepared by John Craft of the state
| highway department, and of course
assented to by Governor Henderson,
| which calls upon the president and
| congress of the United States, "to take
such steps as in their wisdom appears
to be most eXpedient to bring about
at the earliest possible moment the
construction of a national system of
good roads" 1t is set forth in the pre-
amble, that "a great war now being
waged in Europe demonstrates that
national system of good roads is es-
sential to the successful protection of
a country in the event of war"
At the recent Pan-American Roads
congress in Oakland, Cal, among the
resolutions adopted was one in which
the congress recommended "to the
congress of the United States, the ad-
visibility of investigating the necessi-
ty of building hard surface highway
along the Pacific ocean side, from
Mexico to British Columbia, and other
national highways, to be used as mill
tary and commercial highways"
Earlier in the year at a meeting of
the Maine Automobile Association. the
chairman of the state highway commits
sion contended that the first federal
money spent in that state should be in
connection with a system of roads
paralleling the coast, to serve partic.
ularly in case of military necessity.
At the October meeting of the execu-
tive board of the American Automobile |
Association, with President John A. !
Wilson presiding, a resolution was
passed at the suggestion of Chairman |
Diehl of its national good roads board !
that the A. A. A. respectfully asks |
the congress in its consideration of !
federal aid in good roads to the sew
eral states, to bear in mind that high
ways constructed in seacoast and bor-
der states should possess a relation
ship to the military preparedness of
he country which is demanding such
attention"
The state and local clubs of the
american Automobile Association are
'alling to the attention of their repre-
ientatives in congress this action of
he national automobile body. and also
Isking that a bill shall be passed pro-
'iding for an annual federal appropria-
ion, divided among the several states
m the basis of area, population, and
Dad mileage, to be supplemented by
like amount Of money from the
tates, and the total to be expended on
post and military roads selected
through the cooperation Of the respec-
i've state highway departments.
