State Highways.

Several bills have been intro
duced in both branches of the Leg
islature all seeking to create a State
vide system of good roads. Each
and all provide for bond issue of
$25, 000,000.00 and various plans
are proposed to raise the money to
pay princip al and interest but the
favorite plan seems to be by a mo-
tor vehicle tax. But the whole
movement has struck big consti-
tutional snag.
Some one has discovered that
Section 10 of the Constitution Of
the State Of Mississippi! says: The
Board of Supervisors shall have full
jurisdiction over roads, ferries and
bridges"
We could vote for the bond issue
and raise the money; we could levy
a motor vehicle tax and other taxes
to pay the interest and principal
we could create State Highway
Commission to spend the money
but the various Boards of Super
visors would each have FULL JU-
RISDICTION over the construction
of roads in their several counties.
The road in each county would have
to be built wheresoever and howso-
ever the Board of that particular
County might determine.
The House has, therefore, passed
a Concurrent resolution to submit
an amendment to the constitution
to an election to be held next No
yember, 10 give the Legislature iu-
risdiction over State Roads.
The Legislature may pass some
sort OF a Highway bill, but evident
ly we cannot build any sort of uni
form system of State Roads until
the Constitution is changed.

Mr.. d. T. Barnes, who for the
past six years had been Marshall OF
the town OF Iuka, was shot and in
stantly killed Thursday mornig,
February 5.h, by J. G. Spears. The
killing took place on the Square, in
front OF Halls Dry Goods Store.
Spears came here from Savan-
nah, Tenn, about a year ago.
There are many conflicting re-
ports in regard to the difficulty, and
as the case will no doubt come to
trial in this county, we will not at
tempt to give the details. Spears
was arrested and lodged in Jail here
and later taken TO Corinth and
placed in Jail there.
Mr. Barnes was big-hearted, good
natured, honorable man and very
popular here. His untimely death
cast gloom of sadness over the
town and is universally regretted.
Mr.. Barnes was a member of the
Christian church and a Mason.
Funeral services were conducted at
Oak Grove cemetery on Friday af-
ternoon by Rev. Kelly. of Burns
vile, and after the impressive burial
service conducted by the Masons,
the body was laid to rest, and the
grave was covered with most beau.
tiful floral offerings.
Mr.. Barnes leaves his wife and
two sons, Messrs. Ed and John

Both lather and lotion

Palmolive cream is also lotion. For
It contains Palm and Olive oils. Thus
it gives to the face satin snoothness
when shaved.
Note this also. Palmolive stays moist
and foamy 10 minutes. It does not dry
up on the face as does the ordinary cream.
And mere bit is ample for shave For
Palmolive multiplies itself in lather ESQ
times. A cream so active, as you know,
has never been heard of before. There's
enough for 152 1haves in our 35c size.

GEN. HARRIS FACES
CONTEMPT CHARGE

Adjt. Gen. p. c. Harris, U. s. A.,
was given the choice yesterday by
Justice Siddons in Equity Court of
either producing an affidavit con-
cerning the army service of Harry
Walsh, party to a divorce proceed
ing in Ohio, or being adjudged in
contempt of court for his refusal.
Sometime ago an Ohio court
ordered depositions taken in this
city before a local notary public.
Gen. Harris was ordered to appear
before the notary once. but he re-
fused to answer questions concern
ing the affidavit on the ground that
the selective service law required
that this kind of a paper be kept
secret.
Justice Siddons ruled that in a
divorce case affidavits filed by men
about to be inducted into the army
and left in charge of the War De-
partment become public property
and therefore liable to scrutiny.
Gen. Harris did not think so and re-
fused to produce the affidavit. Now
he must produce it before the
notary or be adjudged in contempt
of court.

FOR TEACHERS
Pay Checks to Be Given Out
Today Following Address
By DR.. Ballou.

All white public school teachers
of Washington will receive their
pay checks this afternoon at the
Central High School Immediately
after an address to them has been
concluded by Superintendent Frank
w. Ballou. The checks will be
given out by the supervising prin-
cipals.
Teachers and other employees in
the colored schools will be paid in
the usual manner and place. 1t was
stated. Janitors, engineers and
other employees in the white schools
will be paid at the Franklin School
between and 4:30 p. m. today.
The change in the manner of
paying the white school teachers
is due to the fact that Superin-
tendent Ballou has requested them
to attend a meeting in the audi
torium of Central High School
which begins at 2:45 D. m. DR.,
Ballou will speak on Some Char
acteristics of An Efficient Schoo,
System" He will deliver the same
address to the colored schools to-
morrow afternoon.
Children in the graded white
schools will be dismissed from
school this afternoon about 2 o'clock
so as to allow their teachers to
reach Central High School at the
hour set for the meeting.

Nebr..' told Dr. Fowler yesterday.
DR.. Edwards is in Washington in
connection with a convention of
public health service officials He
learned about Young's presence
here and understood Young's story
to be that he was taken out of
Omaha by a number of men and set
loose. after his case had been dag
nosed as leprosy. ,a
DR.. Edwards declared that the
health department of Omaha. after
determining Young's case last jan
uary, removed him to Tilden and
isolated him in a shack on the
country hospital grounds. He was
supposed to have been there, DR..
Edwards said. three weeks ago.
The District health department.
now has two problems in connec-
tion with Young: How to have him
taken to the Federal leprosarium
in Louisiana. and how to replace
the discrepancies in his story by
facts.

come to wahsington in September.
although the rooming house at
which he stayed showed he regis
tered there on November IS.
