UNIFIED ROAD
SYSTEM FOR
THE COUNTY

Mr.. c. H. Cooke has taken the
iniative in a movement which has for
its end a unified road system for
Lowndes county. He has sent an Ia
vitation to an " the county road
commissionerss asking them to meet
upon an agreed date in this city for
the purpose Of discussing a road
system which will be adequate for
the needs of the county.
Heretofore in Lowndes county all
road construction has been done upon
the subdivision of the county plan.
Thus we find some of the supervisors
districts not only working under the
district plan but in many cases dis
trict is divided into several subdivis-
ions. The result is that there are in
Vulnerable commissioners all over the
county, interested m their particular
project without regard to the interest
and welfare of the county as a whole.
One chief objection to the present
system is that good men agreed to
serve upon these commissions with
the idea of securing their own
roads, and after securing roads to
their neighborhoods their interest in
their work was largely abated. Even
the repair work under the present
system is being neglected and it is
feared that the whole road system
Of the county will be lost unless some
broad comprehensive system for their
support and maintenance is put into
effect at once.
The meeting will be held in this
city at an early date. and The Dis
patch will give full publicity to it.

to accept their orders direct.
1t is said that in some eases orders
for paper will pass through as many
as seven different brokers before the
orders reach the mills, each broker
making a margin of profit. 1t is
simply an extreme case of pyramiding
profits, with seemingly no remedy for
the trouble.
In 1914 and 1915 the daily papers
of New York and Chicago were buy
ing print at two cents or less de-
livered at their press rooms. During
1915 the price began to jump rapidly
and for 1916 many Of the papers had
to contract at prices varying from
three to three and cue-half cents
fob. mill. To some of the New York
papers this advance in price meant an
increased cost per year of from one to
two million dollars, and forced an in
crease in the subscription price.
But today three to three and one
half cent paper would be extremely
welcome. In place Of that the pa
pers are just nov confronted, SO re-
port says, with from nine to twelve
cent paper, and have heard Of quo
tations as high u.s. thirteen and a
quarter.
1t is easy to see what this means
to the press of the nation. Subscrip-
tien or advertising rates can hardly
go high enough to cover such a price
for raw material, and it would seem
that the print paper manufacturers
are killing the goose that has been
laying their golden eggs.
A movement is now on foot to ap-
peal to the department of justice for
relief from the high-handed, profit
eering methods. Just what form the
appeal will take is not now known,
or just what the result will be can
not be forecasted, but it is certain
that if the newspapers are to survive
the present squeeze, drastic action On
the part of the government will be
and this action will be
needed quickly.
TO avoid immediate disaster ad-
rates are being pushed up
ward, and it is probable that sub
scription rates will also receive an
other boost, and what is being done
by the smaller daily and weekly pub
lieations all over the nation. The
publishers have no choice in the mat
ter if they are to continue publication,
and the sooner they realize this fact
the nearer they will come to avoiding
bankruptcy.
The paper baron is in the saddle,
he has no mercy, and the newspa-
pers of America are to be his vic
Tins. The one and only immediate
hope for the publishers lies in higher
rates and higher subscrip-
tion price.

stepped inside the garage and warn

Lum Williams, armed, then step
ped out of his office. Magee said
he ordered Williams to drop the gun
and notified him of the warrant for
Dakus' arrest. The reply, according
to Magee, was a shot from Williams
which struck Leblanc in the arm.
The desperate and determined bat
tie then began with Williams drop
ping dead in his tracks from quick
volley by the special officers. The
policemen said that Bouchillion was
killed at the window when his pump
gun jammed as he was attempting
to shoot. Gaines, they said, fired
through the garage door first with
pistol and later with shot gun.
His body was found in the middle of
the garage. Dakus and an unknown
number Of white men made a dash
for the woods and escaped. O'Rourke
and James Williams climbed out, of
a window, police officials said, and
made break for safety but O'Rourke
fell with buckshot wounds in his
breast and Williams threw up his
hands. Officers said a shotgun was
found near 0'ROurke.,

comes one which takes finesse on the
part of the menu planner. The prep
aration Of a leftover into an appetiz-
ing dish takes vastly more thought
than the ordinary one, which Is often
the reason why such dishes are not
acceptable; they are prepared with
too little thought.
The reason so many men balk at
salads is because they are used as the
clearing house for leftovers. There is

son who has not learned to enjoy crisp.

and seasoned vegetables, but no one
can be blamed for refusing unattrac-

same method In combining foods, by
putting a little originality into the
ses.sonings. and make a new dish wei.
