LefIOre after Good Roads.

Last Tuesday the taxpayers of
Leflore county voted on PROPOSE
tion to issue $500, 600 in bonds to
be used in the construction of good
roads, the proposal being carried
by vote of 500 for the bond issue
to Az against it. The people Of
Lehore have already spent a great
deal of money on their public
highways, and are said to have
about ais good roads as any county
in the state, but they demand even
better, and are willing to tax them
selves to pay for them.
Several other counties in the
state have spent hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars for good roads dur
ing the past two or three years,
but in some Of them the money
has been wasted by trying to build
too many miles of fairly good
gravel roads, without binding,
rather than few miles of perma-
nent roads. However, the founda-
tions have been laid, sentiment
has beenAcreated, and these gravel
roads will, in course Of time, be
made firsfaclass in every respect.
The county that has. had a taste oi
good roads is not going backward,
no matter what the cost Of contin.

CENTENNIAL UNIVERSAL BI.
BILE SUNDAY. MAY Z. 1916
Be on HandI Our Store is HeadquahersI

The American Bible Society was
founded May 8-11, 1916. It's cen
tennial celebration will be observ-
ed Sunday next throughout the
world, 1916. Universities, colleges,
schools and other institutions, are
invited to recognize the Centen-
nial. Re
The Centennial History's key
note is to be found in its opening
paragraph: "The beginning of the
story of the American Bible Socie-
ty is found in those providences of
God which made the Bible the
Book of the American Colonies. "
The colonists not only brought the
Bible over in the Mayaower with
them. but they gathered 200, 900
people from the old country-be-
tween 1920 and 1640-who, like
minded with themselves, had
suffered for this charter of liberty.
And it was true outside of New
England, also, that the Bible was
the Book of the Colonies. When
the Revolutionary War brought
about Bible famine, it was not
only Massachusetts,, New Hap1p-
shire, Connecticut, and Rhode Is
land, which thought the matter OF
sufficient national Importance to
be brought before the Colonial
Congress; but it was New Jersey
and Pennsylvania as well-and
even Georgia.

CHANCES ARE WILL Be NO
JUNE TERM OF COURT.

From the present outlook there
is but little doubt that Judge D.
M. Miller will preternit the regu-
las Esne civil term of the Lincoln
= circuit court, due to the
lat the docket is SO light that
vi hardly justify the holding
a term as we'll as the fact that
Il takes the farmers away from
their work at the very busiest time
of the year.
No June term was held here last
year and the runover was carried
into the September session, this
latter session having more than
ample time to carry out all the
business necessary, it being notice
able that of late years the litiga-
ton in this county has greatly de-
creased. At the last session of
court not single railroad case
was tried, an omission" which
even the oldest inhabitant has no
recollection of ever having occur
red before.

CHAUTAUQUA Is NOW ON
Opening Yesterday With Bad Weather
-MeritOriOus Productions Win
Continue All Week.

The weather god last evening
greeted the Redpath Chautauquans
with an unusual demonstration,
before which the human voice was
compelled to silence and under the
propelling influence of which the
great crowd dispersed from under
the mammoth tent and went to
their homes through the flood,
with never rainbow" in sight.
And at early dawn today it was
just as bad. But DR.. Geo. H.
Bradford, who was the drawing
card for last evening spoke this
morning instead at ten on Amer
ica's Destiny to an audience that
made up in enthusiasm and appre-
citation what it lacked in numbers.
The great tent had withstood the
onslaught of the weather and
still affords ample protection.
The Smith Springs Holmes Co.,
gave popular music numbers last
evening, the instruments used be-
ing well handled. The violinist
and 'celloist, young ladies, met
with due appreciation while the
trombone, saxophone, cornet and
piano received their share of
praise. The reader was excellent
and the program, given under the
most forbidding and distracting
circumstances, prophesied whole
some entertainment during the re-
manning days of the Chautauqua's S
visit to Brookhaven.
q The Chautauqua and Lyceum
are conceded to be modern schools,
and hold advantages necessary to a
modern education. Nothing holds
place in the curriculum because of
tradition or assumption or because
previous generations have learned
and forgotten. Modern demands
are met in the new system and
method and what is useful and
helpful in life's progress is incul-
Gated for the development of the
race by the Chautauqua plan.
Don't fail to visit the big tent.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1916-05-03

$1,000 Fire at Columbia.

Columbia, Miss. This city
suffered $17, 900 loss by fire early
this morning, when flames of un-
known origin broke out in the
Knights of Pythias building on
Second Street, and had gained such
a headway before discovery that
the entire building, in which was
located the printing establishment
of the Marion County Progress and
a number of Offices, was consum-
ed. The adjacent buildings east,
the offices of w. H. Wade, justice
of the peace, the warehouse of
Boyd and Bradshaw, containing a
lot of equipment, and the Pearl
Theatre were also consumed.
The fire company had hard work
to save, the Citizens Bank build
ing, as only a narrow alley sep
arates the two buildings and the
roof caught fire several times.
The Pythian building was form
erly the Marion county court build
ing and was erected about twenty
three years ago.
P. H. Beverly, former employe
of the Progress, who was recently
discharged, was arrested and plac-
ed in jail charged with setting the
building on fire, but denies his
guilt. It is understood that the
Progress will at once resume ope-
rations as soon as another outfit
can be obtained. Daily Special.
Columbia had just purchased
Brookhaven's old fire horses and
| fire lighting apparatus and they no
doubt came into good use on this
occasion.
