Leake county is building a
good road from Carthage to the
Madison line connecting with
the good roads that lead to Can.
ton and jackson.
This county should improve
the road leading west to the
Leake line and we are sure Leake
would take up the work from
there 10 Carthage thus making a
good road from here to Jackson,
There is no other road in the
county that could add SO much
to this town and county. Many
of the best farms of the county
are along that route. We get a
good Ctrade from Leake that
would be easily doubled if a good
road was extended to the Leake
county line. With the prospects
of an early Improvement of the
DeKalb road and if we would
extend the road west we would
have a road across the county of
far more importance than a rail
road over the same route. We
are sure if taken up with the
proper authorities this cross couu
ty road would demand some of
the government funds that are to
be expended on the roads of the
state.

According to Mr.. j. F. Mckay

According to Mr.. j. F. Mckay
marketing specialist, cattle
shipments from this state to St.
Louis in 1905 was 1921 head and
in 1916 shipments had increased
to 160571 head. Shipment of
hogs in 1912 amounted to 2753
head and in 1916 to over so thous
aud. These figures are only for
the st. Louis market, add to this
the shipments to New Orleans.
Memphis and other markets and
it gives you some idea of the
vsst increase in the cattle indus
try of this state.
Mr.. Mckay says;
These figures speak for them
selves. There are many causes
for this increase. Necessity for
Investigation, better control of
diseases by various state and
government agencies. the promo
tion of live stock raising, by dem
onstration and extension forces
of the government and the Miss
issippi A. and M. College, the
railway extension the press, and
other organizations. This 800
per cent increase in one season
of hog shipment is due consider
ably to the impetus given the.
business by the various county
agents arranging cooperative
shipping communities. This
service will be extended to forty
or fifty counties this season, and
We expect to see these figures
run close TO two hundred thous-
and head or two thousand cars
during the coming year.

Forestdale School Closes

The Forestdale school present
edt a concert last Thursday even
ing, which was in every respect
a delightful and most interesting
entertainment.
The stage was truly a thing Of
beauty, and while the national
colors were to some extent in
evidence, as it was on Washing
toms birthday. The domna-
ting decorations however were
of gold and white. The rear Of
the stage was one solid mass of
jonquilles and the drapery used
for the occasion was white and
gold.
Each number of the program
was rendered with a charming
grace and ease of manner which
bespoke the efficiency Of the
directors Mr.. Service and Miss
George. The music was special
ly notable due to the large num-
Der of instruments and the
ability of the musicians. The
readings and plays were splendid
interpretations of humor of the
highest type.
The Forestdale school is rapid
ly coming TO the front ranks
not as large school but as a
good school, where much individ-
ual work is accomplished. Prot.

head of The school for the

The sentiment seems to bt

The sentiment seems TO be
growing for business man FOR
governor at tn 1919 election. 1t
is little early yet to discuss the
next governors race but We
deem it never too early to discuss
those things that mean better
ment for the people OF the state.
One of these things is business
men to conduct, not only the
affairs of state but affairs of conn
ty, of town and of beat. We
will all admit we, for the past
several years have let politics
and politicians enter into our
state and county aud town affairs
until business, sane and safe,
has been lost sight of. As re-
suit our financial affairs are in a
worse condition than ever before.
1t is borrow or bonds on every
hand to meet current expenses.
Our expenditures for state, for
county and for town exceed our
revenue, in many instances great
ly to the detriment of our credit.
There is only one way to cope
with such situation and that
is get our revenue and eXpendit
ures together. TO do this you
must have business men to deal
with business measures. To
have such men politics must TO
greater extent than heretofore
be eliminated. Men to serve
who have the good of their state
and CO unity and town at heart
rather than the big mouth poll
tician who is thinking of nothing
but power and political advance.

1t seems to us that Mr.. Oscar
johnson OF Coahoma has hit the
nail squarely on the head when
he advises that instead Of the
governor borrowing $4,000 tc
build an additional dormitory for
the A and M College that the
course should be raised higher
and keep all the preparatory
students IN the county Agrlcul-
tural schools and other schools ol
the state until they are prepared
to enter the higher classes OF the
A and M. In that way the school
would be less crowded and no
need for an additional dom tory
especially at this time.

MRS. Winstead Freed.

Mrs, Ethel Winstead charged
with murder was given her free
dom Monday morning by peremr
tory instructions from the court
The case has been one of the
hardest fought in many years
1t was taken up by the court
last Thursday. Friday at noon
a jury had been secured and
Saturday at noon all evidence
had been given. Three hours tc
the side were given for argu-
ment which continued until
near eight O'Clock Saturday
night. Mess. Wadsworth, Hill,
man and Judge Anse McLaurin
represented the state and Mess.
Byrd and ellis represented the
defense. The jury failed to re-
port Saturday night and was
kept over Sunday night report
ing upon opening of court Mon
day morning. Their report was !:
''We are unable to agree op a
verdict. " On the receipt of this
verdict came the following re-
marks from the Judge like a
thunderbolt from the clear sky.
Judge Carr asked Judge Byrd to
prepare aperemptory Instruction
for the defendant, saying, 81
have studied this testimony
carefully and do not think
there is a thing in the world in
it. IcOuld not let a verdict of
guilt stand on the testimony of
such man as Cater. | have
been informed by a disinterest-
ed, responsible man who does
not want his name mentioned
that Cater did not implicate this
woman until after Cater had
offered immunity. | believe
this man told the truth about it
and | feel that / would be a
party to judicial murder if |
were to let such a verdict stand
and | had rather sacrifice myself
than be party to any such
crime. Ifeel that the only mis-
take that has been made in this
case is that Caters neck was
not broken" j."
1t Will be remembered this
case was tried at the last term
of cogrt, with practically the
same evidence before the jury
as presented this time, the YER
diet then, was guilty as charg-
ed ~ but the verdict was set
aside by the court on account of
some irregularity of the verdict.
From the remarks as quoted
above from the court, the court
knowing the character of testi-
imony that would be presented
at this trial, it appears to us
final disposition of the case
should have been made at the
previous term, thus saving the
county the big expense of a
second trial. The only evidence
in the case directly duplicating
the defendant was that Of Cater.
His testimony was familiar to
the court and if the course pur-
sued by the court at this time,
had been taken six months ago
the trouble and expense of a.
second trial would have been
avoided.
A poll of the jury showed ten
were for acquittal and two for
conviction.
