Grant Parish Jefferson Highway Club
Meeting.
Pursuant to call meeting of
the Grant Parish Jefferson High
way Club was held in the court
house at $50 p. m. Tuesday,
April %.
A goodly crowd of about fifty
representative citizens were pres
ent., nearly all of them being
members Of the club.
Chairman C. H., Teal called
the meeting to order and stated
it had been called to take some
action toward having the work
of maintenance on the highway
pushed with greater ,vigor than
had of late. He said the road in
some places was in a disreputa-
BILE condition and needed immeGi-
ate attention.
w. A. Brownlee, president of
the police jury. was present and
was asked to make a statement
as to the present status of the
road. He said the matter was
now in the hands of the State
highway engineers. The police
jury had filed with the board all
necessary blank applications to
get State and national aid, and
the money for the,Jefferson high
way bonds was now at their
command whenever the State
engineers were ready to begin
work. He said however there
seemed to be some sort of hitch
between the highway depart
ment and Washington and a de-
lay in operations had occurred
over which the police jury had
no control, as the matter was en-
tirely out of their hands.
John Randolph said the pres
ent condition of the road de-
manded immediate action in the
way of repairs, and he moved
that a committee be appointed
to wait on the police jury and
the road commissioners and ask
that an appropriation be made
by the parish and from the ward
two funds for work on that part
of the Jefferson highway from
Bagdad to the Rapides line, and
that work on same be done as
soon as possible.
c. H. Mccain questioned the
economy and advisabiliry of
spending money on a road that
was soon to be form up and work
ed over. This precipitated a
discussion in which Chas. Dale,
]. M. Wardlow, j. H. McNeely,
]. N. Warner and others took
part, all of them favoring the ap-
pointment of the committee.
The Randolph resolution being
seconded was then unanimously
adopted. as follows:
Whereas, The Jefferson High
way through Grant parish is al
most impossible in some places.
particularly that part of it from
the Hodnett crossing four miles
south of Colfax to the Rapides
parish line; and whereas, the

WHISKEY AND

The fate of Bud Robbis who was
this morning sent to the penlten-
tiary for seven years for running
over and causing the death OF
young white boy in this city some
time ago should be a warning TO
every man who drinks liquor TO
excess. On his own admission a pint
of liquor divided between three men
did the work, for it is evident that
the colored man would not have
run over the boy if he had been
sober and therefore in position
to have managed the car. As it is
he is in prison and FAMILY mourn
the loss of beloved son.
Liquor and automobiles will not
mix. If we knew it nothing could
induce us to get in the car with a
man who had any liquor at all in
him. It is not safe to ride on the
road with another car in the hands

THE WILSON POST OFFICE

Opposition te Chief Clerk John
H. Griffin of the Wilson Post Of
flee seems to be drifting into
Washington according to the letter
of the Washington correspondent
of the News and Observer, who
sends his paper. the following:
protests are drifting into Wash
ington against the appointment of
John H. Griffin as postmaster at
Wilson because of his political af-
filiation. The letter of one Wilson
citizen offered bit of testimony that
would even challenge the office OF
holding record of the late John
Laws, who was register of deeds
of Orange county for 60-odd con-
secutive years. This particular COM
munication stated that the Griffin
family of Wilson county had been
connected with the Wilson post Of
fee since the Administration of
President Arthur.
Moreover, the Wilson cntizens
claimed that James Griffin, the Re-
publican, who heads the eligible
list for the postermastership, is
wealthy citizen, valuing his estate
at 100000. "He owns nine of ten
FARMS" says the Wilson objectors.
Mr.. Griffin has long been associated
with the Wilson postoffice and the
postoffice department stated today
that he was the right-hand man to
postmaster S. w. Webb"
