ing a negro shack in an alley back OF
Front street near the Red river, the
county authorities unearthed veri-
table opium uen and caught Tom Tay-
lor, negro, engaged in cooking
''dope' preparatory &c smoking.
A Chinatown opium den would have
had nothing on the layout taken in
this raid though it might be more lux

two of which were of the regulation
oriental pattern and showed evidence
of having been extensively used. An
other pipe was in process Of manu-
faciure from a section of bamboo

negro women, one of whom, Grace
Tavlor, was held. Taylor pleaded
guilty to a charge of maintaining a
common nuisance and WAS sentenced
to 80 days and a fine of $500.
The matter Of the finding of the
opium smoking layout has been re-
ported to the federal authorities and
it is possible that action will be start

weeds along the public highways Is a
part of the work of the road improve
ment," according to Superintendent
Jones of the Wayne County Depart
ment of Highways and accordingly
he will begin within the next few
weeks to cut weeds all over the
county.
Prisoners from the county Jail will
be used in this work, as they have
been during the spring in road re-
pair work. The county now has an
automobile truck used for the trans
portation OF prisoners to various parts
of the county.
The experiment of working prison
ers on the roads was undertaken with
some misgivings by citizens, but now,
according to county officers, the only
objection comes from the prisoners
themselves. who prefer in most cases,
to be permitted to spend their time In
idleness at the jail.
