Enforcement OF Law Against Adver
Using Signs On Public
Highways.

Since the Roadside Tree Law
went into effect little more than
two years ago the State Board of
Forestry, Baltimore, Md, which is
charged with it's enforcement, has
by means of Forest Wardens
throughout the State been engaged
in the elimination of advertising
signs, supervising the trimming of
trees and assisting in the planting of
other trees along the highways.
This in itself is a big task when
there are more than 16,400 miles of
roads to cover and more than q
10000 trees to be given protection
and care.
This law, among other things,
makes it a misdemeanor punishable
by fine to place any advertising signs
within the right-of-way of public
highway, or on private property
without the written consent of the
owner. While most of the roads
are comparatively free of unlawful
signs, there are many violations of
The law even after two years of pub
lefty and the constant tearing down
of signs by the Wardens and others.
1t is the plan of the State Fores-
ter, beginning June list, 1916, to
make a complete canvass of the
State to see that all illegal adver-
tisements are destroyed and to
prosecute all violators of the law.
rhe law has been generally posted
and sufficient public notice has been
given of its provisions. Advertisers
should lose no time in removing
their signs before the State Fores-
ter's men find them and use them
as violence against the advertisers.

HAYS PARDONS THREE
 POPE COUNTY CONNECTS
Letter of Editor Livingston q Factor in Securing Release of
 Lamance Brothers.

Little Rock, Sept. Ex-Governor Hays yesterday granted pardons in the cases of George w. Hart and John and Jesse Lamance, who were convicted in Pope county in connec- ton with the killing of Silas Church and the shooting of his wife, Selma Church, March 27, 1914. A first trial resulted in an acquittal, and they were convicted January IF, 1916. It is provided as condition Of the pardon that Hart return to his former home in Kentucky. or any other state, and the Lamances to North Carolina, or any other state, and never come back to Ar kansas. Hart had l3 years, and the Lamance brothers ten years each, being convicted, respectively, of murder in the second degree and as sault with intent to kill.
 The petitions and pleas for the pardons were numerous and repre- sentative of the best citizenship of pope county. J. A. Livingston's ap- peal, as editor of the Russellville Conrier-Democrat, may be taken as Il fair sample. He wrote:
 There are reasonable and almost incontrovertible grounds for doubt ing their guilt. us is evidenced by their acquittal at the first trial when charged with murder. All evidence in the trial was circumstantial with the exception of one witness, and | understand that this witness now makes written statement that she might have been mistaken as to the identity of the parties. And during the whole process of the court trials, no motive whatever was ever shown for the killing of the deceased by these defendants. This fact was ever and is still in the minds of the public"
 Hart has wife and eight chil- dren. The Lamance brothers come of good family in North Carolina and had never before been in trouble.
