Chairman Police Committee.

The News cheerfully publishes the
above from Alderman Jones, chair
man of the police committee of city
council, in connection with the arti-
Gle published in these columns yester-
day morning with reference to the
raid made at the Atlantic Coast
Line depot, when barrel of whis-
key, which had been in the depot
since 1915, was arrested.
The article in question was written
in jocular vein and no criticism
whatever was intended on Bruins
wick's police department, who really
deerve credit for any efforts they are
making to enforce the prohibition
law. If there was any mud linging
in the article directed at the police
department, then Alderman Jones
must have misconstrued its meaning.
However, if the alderman desires
to know where The News stands on
the enforcement of the prohibition
law, we are delighted to inform him
as well as the officers of the city
and county, that we stand for rigid
enforcement of the law, without fear
or favor; we believe in bringing to
justice the man who brings liquor
into the city by the barrel or by the
cask, as well as the poor negro or
poor white man who has his half pint.
If the article in yesterdays News
held up to ridicnle police officer
for doing his sworn duty" we would
be delighted for the chairman of the
police committee to name that officer
AS stated in the outset, the article
was written because it really did .ap.
pear ridiculous for county officer
and two or three policemen to march
down to railroad depot to arrest a
barrel of whiskey and probably the
agent of the railorad when no effort
whatever was being made to conceal
the whiskey or the fact that it was
there.

Washington, Aug. 22-In further

through the war risk bureau, today
brought pressure to bear on ship-own-
ers to make their ships as near un-
sinkable as possible by dividing the
holds into small water-tight compart-
ments and increasing the speed to six
teen knots. Experience shows that
vessels of this kind are almost inn
mune.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-The Chicago
Coal Co., said to be the largest retail

BACK BAD TODAY?

Backache is usually kidney
ache and makes you dull, ner-
vous and tired. Use Doan's Kid
ney Pills for weak kidneys-the
remedy recommended by your
friends and neighbors.
Miss Maud Nave, N. Fifteenth
ST., Lexington, says: 81 was
troubled a great deal with my
back and kidneys. l had a
steady, dull pain in the small of
my back and it caused such dis
tress that it was almost impos-
sible for me to endure it. NV
kidneys were sluggish in action
and there were puffy sacs be-
meath my eyes. The doctors
told me my kidneys caused the
trouble but they didn't seem to
help me. Doan's kidney Pills
however, removed the trouble"

keep UP THE ROADS
Farmers Of State Urged BY Uni.
Versity Dean to DO
Their Bit"
"STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE"
Active Use Of School for Few Minutes
May Save Many Dollars in
Danger Later.

Everyone knows that water is de.
structiye OF good roads. After rains,
country roads are usually in bad con.
dition, and then is the time for the
farmer to do his Bit and show his
patriotism by repairing such damage
and preventing further loss. This
may be done in two ways; First, by
opening up side bitches and connect.
ing the ruts with these bitches so that
showers will be promptly carried off;
second, by cutting the weeds and
brush between fences to let the sun
shine dry up the pools that do not
drain. On clay roads a small amount
OF work expended in eliminating ruts
at the time the road is beginning to
dry up will place it in good condition.
Every farmer should feel a personal
responsibility for the stretch OF road
In front of his own farm, and should
exert himself to do what he can to
keep it in proper condition to travel.
Weeds growing in the highway win
scatter their seeds over his fields, and
he cannot avoid responsibility for this
neglect simply because they grew
outside his fence lines.-E. ]. Nc.
Caustland, Dean of the School of En-
cheering, University of Missouri.
Did you ever travel over country
roads where bridges and culverts were
always at a different level from the
roadway on either side? How much
energy is wasted and how many We
hicles are wrecked by the presence of
chuck holes on both sides of culverts
and bridges? 1t can be easily shown
that the expense of avoiding such
chuck holes bears a very minor rela-
ton to the waste caused by their pres
ence.
The mere discomfort of riding in a
vehicle over such distractions is the
least important phase of the matter.
1t is the wear and tear on the mater
ial equipment for travel and transpor-
tation that makes this an economic
problem rather than one of more com
fort Of travel.
The active use of shovel about ten
minutes would frequently be suffi-
Gent to repair a bad place that might
daily cause a damage of many dollars.
"A stitch in time saves nine" and a
dollar expended in timely road repairs
will save nine dollars in material
damage.

have LITTLE HOPE
OF THEIR VERDICT
THE NEGRO SOLDIERS CHARGED
WITH RIOTING IN TEXAS AL
MOST GIVEN UP HOPE.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas.-Today's
session Of the court martial of the
sixty-three negroes of the Twenty
fourth infantry was taken up by
members of the Illinois national
guard, who arrested many of the
rioters after the raid in Houston on
the night of August 23rd. Eight hun
dred of the Illinois troops were rush
ed from Camp Logan into the city in
trucks and established policing regu-
latiOns when martial law was de-
clared the following morning. The
guardSmen picked out ten or twelve
of the defendants as the soldiers
they arrested after the raid of the
mutineers. Several of these negroes
had already been identified and sew
eral others of the guardsmen could
not pick out faces of the negroes of
siXty-three. Some of these negroes
were found hiding in houses in the
negro settlement of Houston and
most of them claimed they feared to
surrender lest they would be killed
by the white citizens. 1t is expect
ed their counsel may object to letting
any of them testify. Many of the
defendants, it is believed by those
who have followed the trial, have
been convicted and the evidence is
so strong against them nothing could
be gained by trying to relieve the
situation.
On the other hand, it is argued
that if any of the prisoners get on
the witness stand the court may OBJ
tain more convincing evidence
against some of the prisoners who
so far have not been connected as
principal actors in the murder of
any of the twenty-three victims of
the soldiers.
The defendants appear less hopeful
as the trial proceeds as one by one
of their associates are identified as
having committed some specific act
on that fateful night

SAVES FOR NINE YEARS
TO PAY SIS 500 DEBTS
Keeps Promise to Creditors, Although
Notes Are Outlawed.

FORT SCOTT, KAN. |. Shep-
pard, an attorney of this city, today
walked the streets of Fl Scott with
the declaration he was free man"
for the first time in years. Wednes-
day he finished paying debt of
SIT, 500, which legally had been blot
ted out years ago, but which he al
ways had said he really owed and
would pay as a matter of right.
Nine years ago the First National
Bank, of this city, Allied and among
its papers were notes for $17,500,
given by Sheppard.
Under the receivership the debt
was compromised for $4,000 and
Sheppard mortgaged his home to pay
that amount. "But III pay the rest
of it when I earn it, he said.
In 1914 he paid $500 of the
amount and the next year $4,000.
His payment Wednesday wiped out
the moral obligation
The stockholders in the defunct
bank will receive the money.
