IMR. CONDRAY MAY
 CANVASS COUNTY FOR HIS ROAD BILL REPRESENTATIVE SAYS MEAS URE IS BEING GREATLY
 MISREPRESENTED.

Representative c. E. Condray, who returned last night from his legisia- tive duties at Little Rock, may decide to make several speeches in the coun- ty within the next two weeks for the purpose of explaining the road dis trict bill introduced by him and passed by the general assembly.
 ''I find that the bill is being gross ly misrepreAnted throughout the county" said MT. Condray today. For instance, one man told me the report is being circulated that it is only a scheme to build a part of the Little Rock-Fort Smith pike and the northern part of the county will have to pay tax and received no benefit. Another report is that there are 13 commissioners, each of whom will draw $5 per day, and that this will exhaust the revenues and leave noth- ing to build roads. Of course, the facts are that this district has noth- ing whatever to do with the Little Rock-Fort Smith project, but is in- tended to provide system of good roads for the entire county. And the commissioners are forbidden by the act from drawing any pay whatever or being interested in any contract made by them.'
 MT. Condray said, in view of the misunderstanding and misrepresenta- tion of the bill, he would probably make series of speeches at differ ent places in the county q do not expect to urge anyone to vote for the bill,' he said. q only want to ex- plain it to the voters and let them de- eide for themselves whether they want it.
 The bill, which passed the senate several days ago, had not yet reached the governor when Mr. Condray left Little Rock last night He said there would be no question, however, about the governor signing it.

The woods thicket into which Blount ran, Clibourn stated, is separated from another thicket of weeds by dim road, and Honea was running through the latter as Blount was coming through the former. Both Honea and Blount were out of their sight, and in a few minutes they heard a gun fired. Clibourn said he began calling Honea and received no answer, started to search for him.
 It was half an hour before he dis covered the body lying in the dim wagon road between the two thickets. Footprints showed where a man had stood and shuffled about for several minutes, about 30 feet away. From this point Clibourn testified Honea coTlG not have seen Blount. He also testified as to the wounds received by Honea. On cross-examination the de- fense introduced map of the scene of the killing which was identified by Clbourn.
