FIGHT FOR BOND ISSUE.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 10. = A hot
fight over second proposed good
roads bond issue of 100000 is now
on in the fourth supervisors district
of Pike county.
II appears that when the supervisors
met few days ago to open bids a
protest signed by more than 500 quail
flied electors was presented, request
ing a special election to determine
whether another bond issue would be
sold. L. H. McGehee, attorney for
the petitioners, alleged that the sale
would be Illegal because due notice
of the intention of the board to issue
the bonds had not been given to the
people, and hence the people had not
been given chance to make formal
protest.
Judge J. H. Price. attorney for the
highway commission, said that the
supervisors, two years ago, at the be-
ginning of the good roads movement,
had given legal notice Of its intention
to issue good roads bonds, and that
under such notice electors had the
right to file protest, or twenty per
cent of them could have applied for a
special election, neither OF which was
done, so the board sold Bonds in the
sum of 100000. He stated that an
other 100000 was needed to COM
plete the graveled roads in the dis
trict. When the supervisors voted on
the proposition to call an election a
motion to that effect was defeated,
and they proceeded to open the bids,
which were unsatisfactory, and new
bids were requested.
Good road advocates in this section
are watching the proceedings in Pike
county with great deal of interest.
1t is probable that the matter may
yet get into the courts though the
supervisors contend that they have
given every legal notice necessary,
and have been within the law" in
all of their actions.

Charged With Bad Faith.

Charged With Bad Faith.
In 1909 the United States requested
the recall of F. J. Jackson, the British
minister, because the latter charged
that the United States in accepting
an agreement of his predecessor acted
in bad faith, knowing that the latter
had no authority to make the agree
ment and that the United States
would not, therefore, be able to bind
Great Britain thereby. In agreeing to
his recall, the British Foreign Office
announced that His Majesty acqul--
esced, but that his action was mot
marked with any expression of his
displeasure." When it seemed that
Great Britain was going to leave the
affairs of her American mission in
definitely in the hands Of a Charge
d'Affairs, the United States announc-
ed that it would withdraw the Amer
'ican minister likewise. This was
avoided by the speedy appointment of
"a new British minister. IA
