WILL GRAVEL THE.
RANKIN TURNPIKE
CLARION-LEDGER REPORT
Err DELIGHTED WITH
THE SPLENDID WORK
WE ARE DOING.

If one wants to see an improved
road he should take an auto or
buggy some of these fine after
moons and drive over into Ran
kin county and note the contrast
between the road now and last
year. !.
Not that it is perfect. It isn't
by a whole lot, but instead OF a
narrow way, full of ruts and
holes, the road has been made
thirty feet wide, raised any
where from one to five feet and
work is still going on.
Yesterday afternoon a Clarion
Ledger reporter visited the
scene in company with Mr.. Os-
borne, assistant engineer on the
| Job. On the road at the time
were ]. J. Baxter, who was out
looking over the highway and
Engineer B. S. Snowden.
Before leaving the party was
Joined by Sidney L. McLaurin,
of Brandon, who visits the work
nearly every day and who is
seemingly we'll pleased with the
work. Knowing Mr.. Baxter to
be an experienced road builder
he asked his opinion of the work.
Mr.. Baxter replied that he had
known Snowden for years, had
worked beside him, and that the
road was being built in a highly
creditable manner.
CONVICT LABOR.
The highway presents a strlk-
ing scene. A short distance
from Parish bridge one COM
.mences to encounter teams drlv-
en- by convicts, all working un-
der the gun. Only two freemen
are employed, Messrs. Davis and
Stubblefeld, who act in the ca
pacity of foremen or drivers.
The most of the guards are con-
victs and it is said these are
nearly all long termers. 1t is
claimed they make the best
guards and will go further
to stop fleeing convict than
will a freeman, as by doing SO
they stand a chance of earning
for themselves a discharge.
TO BE GRAVELED.
One of the objections to the
road is the fact that it is not
graveled and is naturally a little
rough. Mr.. Snowden stated,
however, that the highway is to
be graveled with novaculite,
said to be one of the best known
substances for treating roads.
AS understood, novaculite is the
trade name for stone brought
from Illinois, it comes in three
sizes, No. l, being large Jumps,
No. 2, smaller, and No. 3 about
the size Of the ordinary gravel.
Men who understand road bull
ding say that once the road is
treated with this substance it
will stand a grert deal of wear
and will remain in first class
condition.
PASSABLE ALL YEAR.
"Will the road be passable all
the year or will it have to be
abandoned during the flood
stages of Pearl river?" was
asked Mr.. Snowden, who replied:

Of the 80 counties in this state
40-gave majorities for Bilbo for
governor, and 40 gave majorities
for his opponents. Of the 40 he
carried, one, Pamela, was by one
vote, and another, Sharkey, was
by five votes. Every delta coun-
ty, but Sharkey, voted for the
opposition, as did every county
fronting on the Mississippi river.
The two big coast counties, Har-
rison and Jackson, were in the
same category. Nearly all the
large counties in this state were
in the list of the opposition, in
GLIDING, on the main line of the
Illinois Central Railroad, Pike,
Copiah, Kinds. Madison, Holmes,
Montgomery, Grenada, Tate and
DeSoto; on the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad, Lauderdale, Noxubee,
Lowndes, Monroe and Clay; on
the North Eastern Railroad, For
est. Jones and Jasper; on the
New Orleans, Mobile & Chicago
Railroad, Neshoba and Oktibbe-
ha. These DO counties contain
much more than half Of the
wealth and population. In a
number of interior counties the
Bilbo majorities appropriated
each 1000 votes. If the vote of
Pontotoc alone had been elimi-
mated the majority in the state
would have been against him.
This was widely different from
the result four years ago. Lex

MERIDIAN PREACHER RAPS
PETTY THIEVERlES.

DR.. Klein, noted evangelist
who is conducting great revi-
val at Meridian, took as his text
Monday night, "Thou shalt not
STEAL" and, according to the Dis
patch, delivered a scathing re-
buke to the otherwise honest
people who:wiH Gle to the rail
way conductor about the age of
their children, and commit other
petty thieveries." He stated in
the course Of his sermon that,
while a bank account was once
the measure of a young mans
standing, now he is rated by the
debts he has accumulated.
The great tabernacle that has
been erected at Eighth street
and Twenty-fifth avenue, was
crowded, and the interest mani
tested indicates that the revival
will be one Of the greatest held
in Meridian in recent years.
afDr. Klein announced that his
subject would be Stealing" or
Paying Debts"
"It used to be popular to Ihave
bank account, but that now a
man is usually rated by his in
debtedness, - said Dr.. Klein.
Nations are plunging headlong
into debt, and not only the ma
tons of Europe engaged in war,
but the neutral nations as well;
cities and towns also are going
into debt, Individuals, as never
before, are accommodating debts,
the preacher said.
The evangelist said that any
man who could pay and would
not pay his debts could not be
trusted. That one of the great
est curses of this southland was
the miserable credit system.
He referred in caustic Ian
guage to the man who would
steal from the railroad by lying
about the age of his children tt
save dollar on a ticket; to the
man of limited means who goes
into debt trying to break int
society; to the foolish debts
made in marrying without means
and by indulging in extrava-
gances.
He said it is impossible fol
men in debt to have an influence
for good in the. community, anc
especially for spiritual and relig-
ious things.

winter time unless they could go
by rail.
1t is claimed that the road now
under obstruction, If carried in
to Brandon, will do much to
boost the business of that place
and it is certain it will do much
for the farm lands lying between
in the way of enhancement in
valuation.
A PRETTY JOB.
While all the roadway, so far
completed, looks well. the stretch
between Parish bridge and the
river bridge has attracted great
deal of attention. This road has
always been prone to overflow,
and has been considered more or
less dangerous, but under the la
Dor Of the convicts this has been
shaped into what seems to be a
splendid highway, built up suf-
fcient not to be overflowed, wide
enough for all purposes and with
no more curves than were abso-
lutely necessary.
1t is reported in Jackson that
in Rankin county there has been
o revulsion of feeling concerning
good roads and that the people of
the old county are now as anx-
ious for model highways as are
those of Kinds and other coun-
ties of the state. People here
who come from Rankin assert
that it will not be long before
they can boast of two or three
hundred miles of good roads in
that county instead of being
twitted with the fact they have
no good roads and being COM
PEELED to listen to jokes about
horses begging UP on their high
ways in winter weather.

ONLY A BEGINNING.

Many teams pass over this
road each day and the drivers OF
these frequently stop to talk to
the engineers and drivers in
charge. Several sof these have
expressed disappointment that
the road now in construction is
only to extend to the farm of
Chris Thomas, about three miles
from the river bridge. They
are hopeful that the authorities
will see fit to extend the road,
and one of these yesterday at
ternoon, said: '
This road is only beginning
of a road building era for Ran
kin county. At this time there
| is not a foot of graveled road in
the county, but | believe our Su-
pervisors will see to it that this
road is built clear across the
county,"
This gentleman spoke favora-
bly, Of the fact that the curves
| in the highway have been less
ened, that when completed there
will be a thirty foot driveway.
whereas in Kinds county the
driveway on graveled roads is nc
more than half of this.
A graveled road in Rankin
county appears a little strange
as in the past people in Jackson
have looked on the road across
the river as being passable only
