SPENDING THE $780, 10000.

the progressive spirit demon
strated by the overwhelming
vote cast in favor of selling
Sl92,000.00 of bonds for road
construction in this county.
There is now being consider
able discussion as TO whether
we should accept Federal Aid,
which is a gift of S234.OO0.OO
and expend the s192,0OO.0O,
making S426.666.O0 in con-
structing the road from Kings
Mill to Paint Lick of rock as
phalt construction and begin
the work Immediately, or whe-
Their we should wait until after
July LIST, and use only $780,
100000 in building this road,
with the idea of getting the
S192,000.00 returned to us by
the State at some future date.
II was thought for a while
when the recent law was being
discussed by the Legislature
and before enacted that we
could get the Federal Aid and
use the proceeds from the
bonds and have the same re-
turned to US later by the State.
but the law as passed does not
warrant any such hope. The
recent law contemplates a huge
project of road building in
Kentucky, but there is not any
money whatever available at
this time TO carry il out. We
do not think it can be accur-
ately predicted at this time Just
when this or any other County
in Kentucky can hope to re-
ceive great deal of benefit
from the State law just passed.
The law may prove to be
good one in the future and
counties may receive some con-
siderable aid, but at best il may
encounter many possibilities,
and We do not think it wise for
the County to give up $234,-
100000 that is practically in our
hands for such a shadowy
promise as presented by the
new road law. The bond issue
was made possible by a petit
ton presented to the County
Judge signed by a great num-
Der of tax payers and voters
calling for this election to vote
the bonds with the understand
ing that the County would put
up S192,000.0O and the Feder-
al Government 1924, 100000 and
build a road of permanent con-
struction from Kings Mill to
Paint Lick. The bonds were
voted with the understanding
that this road would be built
as soon as the work of con-
struction could be arranged,
and the people of the County
are expecting this arrangement
TO be carried out. We feel
sure that the Court will i'm good
faith carry out the order that
was placed upon the record
books of the { ounty, which To-
Gated this Federal Highway
and build this road as planned.
In fact, the Court met yester-
4
day and approved il. Judge
Stapp would like to find some
way to carry out this plan and
at the same time secure a re-
turn of the Sl92.000.O0 from
the State that the County puts
up by the sale of the bonds,
and in this he has our hearty
cooperation and wish. but af-
ter a careful study of the law
we do not think il can be done.
II the Judge can find a way to
have the State under this law
build the road from Camp Dick
Robinson TO Kentucky River
through Bryantsville and from
Lancaster to the Iron Bridge on
the New Danville Pike, and
from Lancaster to White Oak

HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
Texarkana Officer Probably Owes
 Life to Faulty Cartridge.

Texarkana, Nov. 2S.-Night Patrol men Walter Crowell and Special Of- ficer Ellington found three suspicious looking strangers near the College Hill viaduct about 10 o'clock last night. and requested them to give an account of themselves. The men were very reticent and after parry ing few questions of the officers, one of the strangers suddenly level ed an automatic pistol in Ellington s face and commanded him to stick 'em up." Crowell promptly drew his gun and fired at the fellow who turn ed and ran, after he had snapped his pistol at Ellington.
 As the trio ran the officers fired several shots at them and in the chase which follower they captured one of them. He claims he had just met the other two and had never seen them before. He will be held in jail pending fsll investigation. Advices from Fulton, 20 miles north of here state that three men held up a merchant in that town Fri day night. Chief Strange thinks it prt bable that the trio found here are the same men.

HOLDING OF CROPS IS
 NOT VIOLATION OF LAW
Prosecution of Farmers Not PossihIa Says the Assistant Attorney
 General.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Because farm CTS cooperative organizations and ex- empt from application of antitrust laws, the Department of Justice has given no con sideration to the campaign for the withholding of crops from the markets until prices advance, it was said tonight by Frank B. Nebeker. spe- cial assistant to the attorney general in charge of antitrust prosecutions.
 MT. Nebekers explanation followed tie recent statement of Charles S. Bar rett, president of the National Farmers Union, that he understood that federal agents were attempting to obtain evil dence for prosecutions in Kansas. Iowa and other Middle Western States
 The Clayton anti-trst act, MT. Neb.. eker said, expressly provides that agri- cultural organizations, not having capi- tai stock or conducted for profit, can- not be construed as conspiracies in restraint of trade. Withholding of crops from market for personal profit, MT. Nebeker said, probably would not be held as organization profits.
 MT. Nebeker also explained that the limitations on the appropriation act for the enforcement of the antitrust law seem to preclude action against the farmers, because the act specifies that no part of the appropriations shall be expended for the prosecutions of farmers who cooperate to obtain a fair and reasonable price for their pro- ducts. The construction as to what is fair price for the various farm pro- ducts. MT. Nebeker declared would however, probably govern in any speci- fic case that might arise as It would seem that since the present laws for bid prosecution where the effort is to obtain fair price conversely attempts 1 to obtain unfair and unreasonable pr1- ces would be contrary to the law.

THE GOVERNOR CALLS
 MEETING JANUARY 5-6
Asks Agricultural and Business Inter- ests to Attend Conference in
 Capital City.

Little Rock, Nov 2S. - Governor Brough yesterday issued a proclama- tion calling a meeting of Arkansas farmers, bankers and merchants to be held in Little Rock January and 6. to consider the agricultural and business outlook for next year. The governor asked the Arkansas Bankers Associa- tion's Committee on Agriculture to take charge of this meeting. The gov ernor asked every township in the state to send representative to this meeting and also asks the banks and business firms to be represented Herbert Hoover. former food ad- ministrator, already has promised to speak at this meeting.
 The governors proclamation fol- lows:
 "To All to Whom These Presents Come, Greetings:
 drop in the prices of all staple farm
 products and the small demand for them even at the present prices. which
 are far below cost, and the enormous
 amount that the farmers of Arkansas
 owe that they can pay only when their crops and marketable live stock are sold, has caused a stagnation in all lines of business in the state that can
 not be generally relieved until the ] farmers again become prosperous; and Whereas, it will be absolutely nec-
 essafy to the prosperity of Arkansas
 that the farmers of the state rearrange ] their cropping plans for 1921 to first produce the food ana feed needed, and | then staple crops and live stock for marketing and that no staple crop be
 produced in excess of the probable de-
 mand, and that plans should be made
 to produce profitable yields at mini
 mum cost; and,
 Whereas, Much credit given by the banks and merchants to farmers in 1920 will have to be carried until the
 crops and livestock produced in 1921
 are marketed, making it essential that the farmers, bankers and merchants get together to make practical plans
 for carrying the old credits that can
 not be paid, and for reduction to the
 minimum new credits that will permit i maximum production in 1921. "Now, therefore, I, Charles H Brough, governor of the state of Ar
 kansas by virtue of the power and
 authority vested in me under the Ccn- stitu.ion and laws of said stat. and
 acting in my official capacity. lo earnestly request meeting of farm CTS. planters, bankers, merchants and all other interests in all parts or the slate to meet in Little Rock Janua.r | 5 and 6, 1921 to consider what shall
 be done in 1921 to secure the greatest prosperity to farmers and to those uho I do business with them I ask the Az ricU;tural Committee Of the Arkansas Bankers Association to plan and con-
 duo: this conference, and as they have arranged to have Herbert Hoover ad-
 d, ess them, ask that his address be
 given during this conference. I call , on farmers in every township in the state to send representatives, to attend tnis conference. 1 ask aacn of the 100 banks and 12,O00 stores in the state and every commircial organization to send representatives.
