Appeals Roads Money Case.

Comptroller McMullen has taken to the
Court of Appeals the question whether he
should restore to the account Of the State
Roads Commission the approximate $780,
600, which was reverted to the general
funds Of the Treasury on September So
1915. Attorney-General Richie gave an
opinion some months ago that the rever-
sion was illegal. and that the funds should
be restored to the commissions account
Mr.. McMullen said that he had no OBJ
lection to making the restoration. but felt
that the courts should pass upon the mat
ter. Action was taken before Judge Heuis-
Ter, who ordered the money restored to the
commission. Mr.. McMullen's appeal is
from that decision. and is for the purpose
- removing the question entirely from
doubt

BAPTIST BARACA CLASS,

Sunday was indeed a great day
for the Baraca Glass. We were hon
ored by having Mrs. Traylor and her
class of young men to visit u.s. We
trust that this will be the means of
bringing the classes into closer fell
lowship with each other. The dis
cussion of the lesson was opened by
Prof. Campbell on the faith of Mary
and Martha. We were then fortu-
nate in having DR.. Williams of the
Southwestern Seminary, who has
been conducting the meeting at the
Baptist church the past week, to
speak to US for few minutes on the
friendship of Jesus. Perhaps the
most striking thought was that Je-
sus is friend indeed because he is
a friend in need. DR.. Williams is
great thinker and powerful preach
er, and no one can hear him long
without feeling a spiritual uplift.
We received a great blessing from
his short talk, and his appeal to the
young men of our class to be Christ
ians. May the blessings of God be
with him in his work is our prayer
The services were concluded by Prof.
Campbell who made a strong appeal
to the non-Christian young men to
get an introduction to the Great
Friend.-Reporter.

DEATH Ends QUEER
But USEFUL CAREER

The recent death of John A. Jones
of Cypress township, Woodrow
Schoolhouse correspondent of the
Log Cabin Democrat, removes an &C.
centric but useful and in many re-
spects admirable character from the
citizenship of the county. A friend
of Mr.. Jones who was in Conway to-
day was talking with the Log Cabin
Democrat about him. He said that
Mr.. Jones, who was unmarried and
about 80 or 40 yeass of age, was uni
versally respected as a man of high
integrity and intelligence, but that
about Is years ago he became OBJ
sessed with the idea that it would be
dangerous for him to leave his own
premises and from that time until
his death he never set foot off his own
land. At first he would work on the
farm, but later he gradually circum-
scribed his movements until for the
last four or five years he never even
left the house in which he resided.
With the exception of this eccen-
tricity, however, he was friendly
with everyone and delighted to hold
long conversations with neighbors
and friends over the telephone, he
being manager of the central tele-
phone Office for that section. In this
way he gathered the news Of the
