LAMB AND WOOL
CLUB WILL MEET

The Benton County Lamb and
Wool Club will meet in Camden at
the court house Monday April 7 at
1.30 o'clock p. m. j Ii Arnold is
president of the club and j. A.
Sparkle secretary.
The most important matter 10
be considered by the members of
the club is to arrange for the dis
posal of the spring clip of wool.
All those who have wool to market
should attend the meeting here on
the first Monday.
If you want to engage in the
sheep industry or need few more
sheep for present purposes, Secre-
tary Sparks will take your name
and your wants for any number of
ewes or bucks will be supplied later
through the club.
The club membership shows q
healthy increase which indicates an
enlargement of this most profitable
industry. If our farmers will put
their heads together, as they have
done in many counties in Middle
Tennessee, and eliminate (kill) all
dogs that roam at large the sheep
business would coon be the most
profitable industry in our county
If our farmers want an increased
volume of money in circulation in
Benton Comfy, sheep raising will
turn the trick.

DOG LAW PASSES.

At last the people of Tennessee
have chosen General Assembly
that is equal TO some of the urgent
requirements of the State. 1t has,
among other things, fulfilled a duty
"a long-neglected duty-by pass
ing an adequate dog law. Apropo
of the need of the dog law, the
Nashville Banner contained the
following editorial last week:
at is plain fact-let all the
sophistical arguments to the con-
trary possible be made-tbat mil
lions Of dollars could be added to
the wealth of Tennessee by full
development of the sheep industry.
1t is equally plain that this devel-
opmentis prevented by the prevail
ence of large numbers of worth
less dogs, an incumbrance on the
wealth of the State, that roam at
large without any sort of restric-
ton.
"These two facts make an issue
and the only sensible and equitable
determination of that issue is in
favor of the sheep.
"The law doesn't mean the ex-
termination of dogs. Nothing of
the sort is contemplated or advo-
Gated. The purpose is to protect
sheep and to that end every citizen
of the State who raises sheep or
desires to do so is entitled to have
the law on his side.
"There will not be so many dogs
If this bill becomes a law and is
enforced, but there will be better
dogs. The mean aud mongrel
sort will be gradually eliminated
and the well.bred dogs that have
value will survive. If a man
pays to keep dog and is required
to give him attention, his money
and care will likely be expended on
a dog that is worth while.
"In all countries, in fact, where
sheep are extensively grown, dogs
are trained to guard the focks
The shepherd depends on his dog
In Scotland they have a notable
aud very intelligent breed of dogs
for this purpose The great herds
formerly in the far West of this
country, in Australia and on the
great pampas of Argentina, are
guarded by shepherds with dogs
"Dogs and sheep are not neces-
sarily inimical, but stray ours are
nuisances without regard to the
detriment they do to sheep, and
no harm can come Of their exter-
mination.

GOOD ROADS
MASS MEETING

prOclamatlOn OF Governor A. ii,
Roberts following the passage
of resolution by unanimous
vote in both houses mass meeting q
will be held at the court house in
each county seat at | p m. Mon
day April Z when the people will
be asked to come forward and ex.
press their will relative to the pas
sage of an enabling act which will
permit both the Governor aud
the Comptroller to issue serial
bonds not to exceed $50,000,00 to
supplement Federal aid and other
State road funds as the funds are
needed from year to year to carry
out contracts made by the State
highway department in the COM
pletion of a definite system of
State highways.
In the measure recommended by
the joint Legislative committee ap-
pointed by the speakers of both
houses for the purpose of prepar-
ing legislation which will give
Tennessee definite highway sys-
tenn, whatever bonds are issued by
the fiscal department of the State
on the estimates of work to be
done during the current year by
the State highway department,
will be retired, the interest paid
as we'll as the maintenance Of the
State highways and the expense of
the State highway department
without penny's increase of the
general tax of the State. The
automobile owners of the State
assured the joint legislative COM
mittee that they would be willing
to pay this increase in tax which
will make this plan possible, pro-
viding they are given definite as
surance that State highway sys-
tenn of permanent type OF road
will be completed.
The legislation on which an ex-
preston of the people will be ask
ed on April 7 lays ont definite
system of roads in the State high
way system so that assurance is
given the people of the State, the
roads which will be included in the
system.
The plan follows one which has
been adopted by the, State of Hi
nois. Pennsylvania, Michigan and
other States aud which is up for
consideration in twenty other
States. In addition to giving as
surance that the road system will
be completed, the enabling act
permits the Governor and the
State highway department to go
ahead with the completion of the
entire system of highways just
as rapidly as it is possible to eff
ciently do so. This is considered
highly important as it is recognized
that the more quickly the system
of roads can be constructed and in
use the greater benefit it will be in
the development of the State. Lit
will also enable the State to give
more employment to its citizens
which is generally recognized as
being greatly needed at this time.
The State highway department
can commence the construction OF
a State highway with a definite
knowledge that the State will have
the funds to complete it. A con-
struction program of starting and
completing through roads was
strongly advocated by the Govern
or in his recent message to the
Legislature.

Am COMING HOME.
(ToUr DE SUITE J

A well.known Benton County
boy and member of Supply Com
pany 332, writing from American
Army camps near Is-Sur-Tille,
France, under date of March Z,
sends the following fusion which,
no doubt, expresses the feelings of
many of the boys who impatiently
await their turn to recross the sea
and unite with loved ones at home:
Darling, am coming back,
Silver threads among the black
Now that peace IN Europe nears
I'll be home in seven years.
I'll drop in on you some night
With my whiskers long and white
Yes, the war is over, dear,
And we're coming home, hear.
Home again with you once more,
Say by nineteen tWentyfour.
Once ! thought by now I'd be
Sailing back across the sea.
Back to where you're pining still
While I'm here in Is Sur-iile.
You can hear the gang all curse
War is he'll, but peace is worse!
When the next war comes around
In the front lines IN be found;
I'll rush in again pell NELL
Yes, will-like he'll! like hell

SEEK WALLET AS
CLUE in WOOD CASE
Detectives Say Finding Of
Purse Would Establish
Time of Staying.

A squad Of headquarters detectives
today are running down every clue
in an effort to locate a worn black
wallet, which they regard as an i'm
portant bit Of evidence In solving the
killing Of Emmett D. Wood, the
eighteen-year-old soda clerk at Lig-
gett's Drug Store, Fourteenth and F
streets.
The wallet, the detectives explain,
was probably picked up on Pennsyl-
vania avenue between Ninth and
Tenth streets on September IS.
The detectives learned Of the wall
let through a colored refuse collector
who declared that he found Il lying
on the platform Of the elevator in
the basement OF the LigEett store
when he went there at 2 o'clock on
the afternoon that Wood was killed.
The iron bar with which Wood Wras
struck was later found BY detectives
under the platform Of the same ele-
vatOr.
From information gathered by the
detectives the wallet belonged to
Wood. Il contained his photograph
and registration card. The refuse
collector explained that he threw the
wallet away on the avenue between
Ninth and Tenth streets.
The detectives regard the wallet
as important evidence as Il establish
es the time Of the Staying and that
robbery was the motive. Inspector
c. l. Grant requests that the finder
Of the wallet bring IL to his ohice.

CONVICT NO. 1910
BEGIN LIFE ANEW
Negro Convicted Of Killing
Wife Here Returns
After 80 Years.

Convict No. 16. OF Atlanta prison
and LortOn reformatory today begins
life anew.
For thirty years, No. 16, knew no
other than q prison home. Yesterday
opened and No. 16 stepped out--a free
man.
No. 16. who is W. d. Cross, a negro.
was convicted OF killing his wife
thirty years ago at their home IN
southwest Washington, and was sent
70 prison at Albany. On the compile
tion OF the prison at Atlanta IN 1902,
he was transferred there, where he
remained until two years ago, when
he was sent to Lorton.
lt was at Atlanta. where prisoners
are known by number instead OF
names, that "Bill'f Cross was given

BewiIdered BY the many changes

Cross yesterday sat az a window In
the office OF the Prisoners Aid So
eiety and watched the automobiles
and street cars as they speds BY. It
was a new sight for No. 18
my head Is buzzing everything Is
so new" Cross said after watching
for some time at the window.
Cross stoutly maintains that the
crime OF which he was convicted is
not his own. ~ didn't do It." he re-
peats, eft was suicide"
E. z. budding. president Of the
Prisoners Aid Society, who was IN
strumental IN getting Cross paroled,
yesterday declared he believed the
release Of Cross was one Of the most
remarkable he has any record Of.
In an old style carriage, Cross to-
day will be taken around the city to
see the many changes the years have
wrought.
In Coed Health.
Despite his long confinement, Cross
Is in the best Of health. In the en-
tire thirty years OF his confinement
he was sick only two months
During his confinement in Atlanta
every one Of Cross family died.
Gray prison walls and narrow
cells are but a grussome memory
to No. 16, for today he has a new
lease on life and begins where he
left off thirty years ago.
