Potter Brought to Lexington.

Potter Brought to Lexington.
Leon S. Potter was brought to
Lexington last night by Deputy
Sheriff John Toner and placed
in the county jail to await the
action of the criminal court.
Potter, it will be remembered,
was arrested out in Kansas
some time ago and while in jail
unraveled to a companion a
story of the murder of Sheriff
Talbot and his deputies. The
story followed so closely to the
few facts known of the tragedy,
and of others which were devel-
oped later, that he has been held
not as a principal in the crime
but one who knows more about il
than he has thus far told.

GOOD ROAD TALK
IS GENERAL HERE
PRESENT METHODS NOT AFFORD.
ING WHAT PEOPLE WANT AND
ARE ALSO VERY COSTLY.

A reent statement was given ont
by Judge T. f. Patterson, chairman
Of the State Highwey Commission. in
which he boldly advocates d state
bend issue of forty million dollars
| for the purpose of linking together
every county seat in the state with q
hard, durable road. forming the nu-
cleus of a complete system of roads
for every county in the state.
! Judge Patterson points out that
the five hundred thousand dollars
received every yesr from the auto
mobile license tags could he used as
d sinking fund, and in this way be
made to accomplish some good. He
declares that using it as at present
it brings very little good to the pep
pie owinp to the fact that the sum
is never large enough to accomplish
permanent good anywhere.

day of real good roads and streets

permanent roads and streets that
when once built. will cost nothing for

easy access to all places by people
living in the country. Many hard
