Oiling the Business Streets.

The main business streets of
Aberdeen have been paved, but
this has not prevented the dust
devil from getting in his work
during the protracted dry spell
which closed with Saturdays rain
The damage done by the dust
10 merchandise, aside from the
inconvenience TO the public, and
the wasted energy of store keep
ers trying TO combat the dust, out
weighs considerably what il
would cost 10 have these streets
oiled.
Aberdeen oiled her business
streets several years ago, but this
venture did not prove a success
because the oil was sprinkled on
the streets before they were
paved, and, of course, soaked
into the loose dust and was prac-
ncally lost in that way. Oil upon
the hard paved. streets, ii is be-
heved, would now weight what
ever may accumulate upon the
hard surface of the streets and
hold il down. SO that if the streets
were given a copious dose of oil
once year. the dust problem
would be practically solved.
We have talked with several of
the business men about oiling
the business streets, and those
we have talked TO are highly in
favor of its being done.
The suggestion is up to the
CITY fathers and the business peO-
pie of the town. Dust is an
enemy 10 health. cleanliness and
is destruction TO many classes of
property. Something should be
done TO combat the dust devil. 81
Olllng the streets is proposed;
there may be better plans, if SO,
they should be inaugurated.

ride rapidly throughout the outly-

As matter of fact, according to
evidence In possession of the
authorities. couriers rode through
out the night following the tragedy
at Hoop Spur, summoning mem
bers of the union from field and
sawmill and logging camp to assem-
bic at the spur and assist in the
fight against the whites. Frank
Hicks, charged with the killing of
Clinton Lee. was thus summoned.
He was unloading some cotton at a
gin when the courier arrived and
called him to battle. He stopped
work. went to his home, armed
himself with high-powered rifle
and joined the union forces at the
Hoop Spur church.
According to the testimony Hicks
saw an automobile in the road and
shot at it twice. One of the bullets
from his rifle killed young Lee.
There were negro women in the
church as well as men, and there is
ample testimony to show that they,
too, were armed. Some of them
carried acknowledgements concealed
in their stockings, and soldiers later
took weapons from the stockings of
negro women brought into Elaine.
