The Bond Issue.


The inevitable has happened
and the board of supervisors are
meeting the situation like business
men.
For years very expensive make
shift method has been used in re-
gard to county bridges. Like a
downing man, lucky to have a
mere breathing space, each success
sive board has honestly endeav
ored to tide over their term of four
years with the scanty fhnds at
their disposal, hoping against hope
for something better to turn up.
I'he people have been very patient
in the past, but there is coming
strong demands from every district
for permanent bridges. They are
demanding that the proposed bond
issue shall be so used that at the
end of twenty years there will still
remain forty thousand dollars
worth of permanent improvement.
Invested in wood bridges there
would not be a dollars worth left
at the maturity OF the bonds.
Invested in steel bridges we
would have few streaks of rust
with fifty to hundred per cent
maintenance cost, 10 the way of
new floors and paint.
Invested in reinforced concrete
bridges, the maturity of the bonds
SD ould find the investment at par
with no maintaining cost.
This view is not only held by
the board of supervisors them
selves but by many of the best
read men and largest taxpayers in
the county.
The February number of Engi-
neering Record tells of concrete
bridges being let all over the coun-
try, ranging from small bridges 10
one tor sixty thousand dollars.
Nothing is SO discouraging to
the intelligent taxpayers as to see
money invested in temporary i'm
provements with large upkeep
expense.
We are fortunate 10 having as
good grade of concrete gravel in
this county as can be found any
where in the state. thus permitting

CAPTURED
CONVICTS.
Sherif Davenport and Messrs. S
H. Bagnell and E. L. Lum
Make Important
Arrests.

Last Sunday Sheriff Davenport
learned that Mr.. Douglas High
lender had seen three suspicious
looking white men going down Big
Black river 10 skifI. In company
with Mr.. S. H. Bagnell, the sheriff
drove to the Hankinson bridge in
q car where they found Mr.. E. L,
Lum watching for the men. They
took up the watch while MIR. Lum
went to bring them dinner. A few
minutes later, the men came in
sight, rowing rapidly down the
river. As soon as they saw the
officers, they attempted to escape,
but as soon as they were covered
with a rife and ordered 10 surren
der, they came to land and gave
themselves up.
The men stated that they had
escaped from the state peniteutiary
just week before. They proved
to be Sherman Owen, sent from
Sunflower county for 10 years for
assault to kill; Tom Ross sent
from Newton county for two years
for burglary, and Ferdie Harrison
sent from Tippah county for two
years for burglary.
They told the sheriff that had |
they been armed be would have
had trouble srresting them.
The men were brought to Port
Gibson, and later taken to Her
manviIIe where they were turned
over to a penitentiary sergeant.
There was reward for $3.50 for
the escapes, and this will be di
vided equally between Sheriff Dav
export and Messrs. Bagnell and
Lum.

this money to be used at home. In
concrete bridges far greater per
cent of the money will be kept at
home than if steel structures were
used, and with structural iron at
war prices the concrete bridge can
be built at almost half the cost
besides eliminating the upkeep.
Knowing that the bond issue is
to be used in permanent improve
ment instead of expensive make
shifts there is DO likelihood of
here being any organized opposi
ion to it. ~

Do the farmers Of this country
realize that the success of the
allies in this war depends upon
them? 1t does. The fighting
man cannot be kept on the battle
line unless the farmer grows the
necessary food stuff to keep him
there. No man at a time like
this is justified in giving his at
tention to the money side of the
question when his country calls
him to do something else. The
farmer may be able to make more
money by growing cotton, but if
his country needs wheat and
corn, it is his duty to grow it,
just as it is the duty of the man
in any other line TO take up the
work in which he can do the
most good. Money will not buy
food when there is none in the
country, and if the farmer does
not grow the food stuff it will
not be there, therefore as much
depends upon the farmer as up
on the fighting man.
