HOPKINS TO VOTE
FOR Mr.. HUGHk S
SEVENTH DISTRICT DELEGATE
ADVOCATE OF NEW YORK
JUSTICE.

Hon. R. S. Hopkins, one of the dele
gates from the Seventh district to the
republican national convention, will
leave on Sunday for Nashville and will
there join the delegation for Chicago,
arriving in that city on Monday, the
day before the convention convenes.
Mr.. Hopkins is an ardent supporter
of Hughes and is against Roosevelt,
first, last and all the time. He does
not believe, however, that there is the
slightest chance for the nomination OF
the former Bull Moose leader. In an
swer to recent inquiry from the Chi
cago Tribune, MIR. Hopkins gave
Hughes as his first choice, Fairbanks
as second choice and Cummins, OF
Iowa, as his third choice. He thinks
that Hughes will be the nominee. His
colleague from this district, Joe p
Kidd, is also an advocate Of Hughes.

NESS PROGRAM.

Judging from the attendance or lack
of attendance at the Board of Trade
meeting on Tuesday night the people
of Columbia are not very vitality inter-
ested in the preparedness program to
be given at Nashville on Saturday. In
response to the call of President Sloan
about dozen of the members of the
board met at the Court House on Tues
day night. No one appeared to be
especially anxious to get into the pa
rade. So far as known no one con-
templates making the trip to Nashville
on that day to join in the demonstra-
ton. The opinion was expressed that
it was fine thing to hold these pa
triotic demonstrations, that the people
hereabout sympathized with their pur-
pose, believed in preparedness for the
nation, but they saw no good reason
why they should 60 to the trouble and
expense of a trip to Nashville in order
to demonstrate their sympathy with
President Wilson or their zeal for
their country. President Sloan will
appoint anyone to represent the board
who cares to CO.

MAN ENTERS HOUSE
WEST NINTH STREET
DESCRIBED BY WHITE BOYS WHO
SAW HIM, AND ANSWERS DE-
SCRlPTIoN OF CONVICT.

Friday afternoon a white man gained
entrance to the residence of c. F.
Speed, on West Ninth street, and took
a pair of shoes, some clothes and
eight bottles of coca cola. Some white
boys who were playing near the house,
told Mr. Speed that the man went out
In vacant lot back of the residence
and exchanged his shoes for the ones
ne had taken, and drank the coca cola
The boys stated that the man offered
some of it to them. They described
the man to Mr.. Speed and, from what
they said, he answers the description
Of the convict who escaped from the
penitentiary at Nashville Thursday
night. In going through the house
the man upturned the things in search
Of valuables, but he did not obtain
anything that was very valuable. Mr.
Sneed notified the police officials, and
they are at work on the case.

ADJOURN FOR WEEK
,pcuMENT WILL BE HEARD BY
COMMITTEE ON NEXT
MONDAY.
THEN TAKE UP OTHER CASES
Those Against The Entire Commits
sion and the Members of the
County Court Will Probably Then be
Taken UP.

Proof was concluded in the hearing
bAfore the Joint investigation commit
toe of the Wilkes charges against
Road Commissioner Clay E. Hight on
Saturday afternoon and the committee
adjourned until Monday, June 8, at
which time the case will be argued.
When the argument in the Hight
rase is concluded the committee Will
then take up the charges against the
ontire commission and of the members
Of the county court. 1t looks like
from present indications that the
hearing will drag its weary length over
maDy days and perhaps weeks. The
committee is determined to go to the
bottom of every charge, even II it
takes all summer. The fact that the
members are serving absolutely with
mt anv compensation is not deterrine
them from devoting their time to the
matters at issue.
The committee has won the golden
oninions of all fair-minded people who
have witnessed the hearing by the
attitude of the members. They have
seemingly been absolutely fair with
M nurpose whatever to serve but the
public good They have been anxious
for all material proof as to all the
matters at issue George Taylor
Hughes, Jr., the counsel for the com
mittee has rendered valuable assist
ance in guiding the members and II
bringing out facts that were materla
to the general investigation, but mo-
directly at issue between the prosecu
ton and the defendant, Hight.
1t is the general opinion that the
prosecution had its strongest case
against Hight. Comment is quite gen
eral that while the commissioner, un
der the facts, may have been technical
ly liable for having had his teams a.
work for the county, it is gratifying
that there was no evidence presented
to show any sort of fraud or to the eff
feet that the county did not get {
square deal and value received fol

SHERIFF GRIFFIN
TO ENFORCE LAW
AGAINST SPEEDING
SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING TO
RECKLESS DRIVERS OF
COUNTY.
MUST NOT EXCEED The LIMIT
Calls Attention To The Provisions OF
Act Of 19o5-Many Complaints From
Both Buggy and Auto Drivers About
The City.

Sheriff Griffin is going.to stop speed
ing by automobilists on the highways
Of the county. He expects to do his
very best to enforce the provisions of
the act Of 1905 which forbids a speed
of exceeding twenty miles an hour on
the roads.
Sheriff Griffin has been importuned
by both the owners of automobiles and
buggies to do something to stop reck-
less driving and he, together with the
aid of his deputies, will do all that
is possible to stop reckless driving.
The sheriff this morning issued the
following statement:
There have been numerous COM
plants made to be by both the owners
Of horses and buggies and the owners
of automobiles about the reckless
speeding OF automobiles on the pixies
in and around Columbia and especially
on the Mt. Pleasant pike. want to
call the attention of all who have SO
little regard for the safety and lives
Of others to the provisions Of Section
8 of chapter 173 Of the acts of 1905
That section limits the speed upon pub
lie roads to twenty miles an hour
That section is going to be enforced
I shall make 1t one Of my especial
duties to see that it is enforced.
"Not only does the act in question
limit the speed of cars to twenty miles
an hour, but the supreme court has
held that where an automobile driver
is exceeding that limit upon the high
ways of the state he must suffer the
consequences Of whatever accidents
occur. In a case recently decided al
Knoxville boy ran in front of a cal
that was exceeding the speed limit;
ordinarily the boy would have beer
guilty of contributory negligence, but
| 1t was held that the fact that the
driver of the car was engaged in
an unlawful act in that he was ex
ceeding the speed limit established hit
guilt and a sentence of mans1aughtel
was approved"

BETTER SOFT THAN TOO HARD
Penetration From Traffic Will Not
Cause Any Deterioration, Says Engi-

Because the asphalt on Court Square
seems to be soft and is being pene-
trated by the traffic does not mean
that it is not satisfactory job or will
not stand the wear of traffic, in the
opinion of the Pittsburg Testing Lab

statement is made in letter to Alder
men Connor J. Akin, city engineer, by
Wallace ]. Caldwell, the district man.
ager of the laboratory at Birmingham,
Ala, to whom Mr.. Akin's communica-
tion was addressed.
Mr.. Akin had noted the penetration
, of the asphalt on the square and where
the traffic was heaviest and he wrote
to the Pittsburg Laboratories to know
If this was an indication that the work
was deteriorating and asking what
should be done. The letter in reply,
is self explanatory. 1t follows:
&C. J. Akin, Columbia, Tenn. Dear
Sir:
81 acknowledge your letter of May
goth, and note that the asphalt on the
Square seems to be pretty soft. In
/ looking up the results of penetration
tests on the asphalt used on the
Square we find it was not so soft as
to cause any trouble, and while the
Square may be marking up consider
ably from standing traffic, and proba-
bly, little from moving traffic, we do
not think it will mark enough to cause
you any trouble. We would much pre-
fer to have it mark a little than not
to mark at all, as asphalt which is too
hard to mark is likely to be unsatisfac-
tory in the long run.
Il do not think it would be wise
for you to put any screenings on 1t
and roll them in, at least for the
present.
i II will come to Columbia at some
time in the near future and look over
the street with you | cannot say just
now when l will be able to reach
there, but as soon as | possibly can I
will make this trip, and will let you
know by telegraph when ! will arrive
in Columbia.
VERY truly yours,
