]. B. Boothe, we'll known and sub
stantial citizen of the fifth district of
this county, died at his home near
Jones Tuesday afternoon and was bur-
led Wednesday aftepoon. Mr.. Boothe
had been in failing health for two
years. He was about sixty years of
age and a consistent member of the
Baptist church. He was a man of
character bnd standing among his
neighbors whose confidence and es-
TEEN he held. He leaves many friends
to mourn his death. The States
Graphic joins with these in extending
sympathy to the members of his fam
lily in their deep bereavement.
An attempt was made Monday night
by seven negroes confined in the coun-
ty Jail to effect their escape. Jailor
Claiborne reached home about IL
o'clock and was told by Mrs. Claiborne
that something was wrong up stairs
where the negroes were confined. Mr..
Claiborne attributed his wife's uneasi-
ness to nervousness and went to bed
without making an investigation About
two o'clock he heard brick fall and
was called by Sam Boles, a negro
charged with murder, and told to come
up stairs, that the other negroes were
trying to escape. Investigation was
made at once and it was discovered
that hole was being dug through the
brick wall and that the negroes were
Just about ready to make their escape
They were taken from the large room
in which all were confined and placed
in cells.

when properly combined in the form
of concrete foundation and natural
asphalt macadam wearing surface.
Where the road is of the asphalt
macadam type, any defect in the
foundation causes trouble. When roads
are built of concrete throughout, any
neglect or carelessnessi in workmanship
is fatal. Saturation and subsequent

keeping conditions more constant both
as to moisture and temperature chan
ges. The unyielding concrete in turn
keeps the asphalt wearing surface
from breaking down. Furthermore. the
latter imparts to the road the resil-
iency or elasticity required for both
horse and motor traffic.
This type of road has been thor
oughly tested on city streets, subur-
ban highways, park drives and coun-
try roads. Costs have ranged from
$11,500 to S13,5OO per mile for roads
l6 feen in width. Philadelphia built
sections of her great northern boule-
ward in this way at lower cost than
some states have paid for water-b bound

Saturday was a busy day in Browns
vile. Three hundred bales of cotton
were on the market with the price
standing above fifteen cents. Seed,
too, were bringing over forty dollars
per ton. Make the calculation and you
will see that it was a great day for
the farmers. The crop in Haywood
county is in advance of last years

ing, there will be rush to get it mar
keted as soon as possible.

to be a man of splendid character and
standing in his county, and those who
know him believe that he will make a
