M 'BEATH HERE
ON LOGGING TRIP
OF JACKSON ROAD
Official Of Association Forced to
Return Home Because Of
jackson Meeting.
SAYS COUNTIES MUST
SHOW MORE ENTHUSIASM

The work of logging the Jackson
Military Highway, from the Alabama
line to the Louisiana line, through
the state Of Mississippi has been com
pleted as far as Hattiesburg.
The pilot car, containing J. W. Nc
Beath, one of the officials OF the Jack
son Military Highway Association,
reached Hattiesburg this morning, af-
ter having made the trip from Merid-
ian. Mr.. McBeath was accompanied
from Laurel by F. G. Munson, south
ern agent of the White Company, who
provided the scout car for the asso-
citation.
y Because Of the meeting in Jackson
Of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee on tomorrow, Mr.. McBeath was
unable to continue the trip south. He
will return to Meridian tonight, and
will go to jackson tomorrow.
More interest must be taken by the
several counties through which the
mississippi part of the proposed route
passes" Mr. McBeath said. "True it
is that some work has to be done,
but the citizens are not as enthusiastic
over the roadway as they should be
and as they must be, if they hope to
have the road pass through Missisi
Isippi."
A meeting of the State Highway
Commission and Of the officials Of the
Jackson Military Highway Association
will be held in Laurel on June !, when
the boards of supervisors from all the
counties will be asked to attend.
Mr.. Munson will carry the Forrest
board to Laurel for the meeting.
