Holly Springs, Miss.-Attracted to
the county Jail here by the sounds of
shots, Mrs. w. Il. Jeffries. wife of the
jailer, found her husband under fire of
two prisoners seeking to escape.
She secured Jeffries' revolver from
the office and, firing between the bars
in the Jail door, fatally wounded one
Of the men, a negro, and drove the
other, white, to his cell, where he sent
a bullet into his brain.
Jeffries entered the Jail to lock the
prisoners in their cells, closing the
door behind him. The two prisoners.
each armed, confronted him and de-
manded their release. Although I'M
armed, he refused and the men began
to shoot. Seven shots were fired at
him, but owing to the dim light the
aim of the prisoners was poor and
none Of the bullets took effect The
arrival of Mrs. Jeffries put an end to
the One-sided battle.

WORK ON ROADS
TO BE RUSHED

Congress at Its last session not only
made available from the federal treas
ury large additional sums for road
construction, but also made some i'm
portant amendments to the federal aid
road act. These amendments will have
the effect of greatly lessening the diff
culties Of selecting and constructing
needed roads
"The amount Of federal funds avail
able for road building on March 1 was
over $72,OOO,OOO, which under the law
must be matched by at least an equal
amount from the states.
More Funds July I.
"On July 1, $95,OOOOOG more of Aed-
eral funds will become available for
general road purposes and 100000
for national forest roads, which. with
equal contributions from the states,
will provide an additional SIS, 100000
for federal aid road work, making an
aggregate sum of $343,SO0OOO for the
calendar year.
I'm other words, the 1910 program
for federal aid road building is greater
than any previous annual road build
Ing accomplishments In this country.
"The states and their civil subdivi-
sions also will carry ON a large amount
Of road work without federal aid. The
extent of this is uncertain and will
depend upon local labor, industrial and
agricultural conditions. The present
Indications are that approximately
$oSOOOO,O 900 will be spent in this way.
"The purpose Of the federal aid road
law is to encourage the construction Of
roads Of substantial nature by the
states and to provide adequate safe
guards for securing systematic and
economical action. Long experience
has shown that the best results will
be secured If the work is performed
under the supervision Of the state high
way departments, the method Of the
control depending upon local condi-
