them, Swaine and Brent each paying
$25 and costs and Bell was fined 800
and costs, the fine later being reduced
to $50 and costs. Not satisfied with
this action Lawson appeared before
the county judge, justice of the peace
and county solicitor and asked that
warrants be made out returnable in
the county courts. When action was
not entirely satisfactory to Lawson
he wired the governor for advice. The
governor did not reply and the suits
were filed.
The trouble originSeed when Law

lady too frequently for the pleasure
of one of the men, and the shanghai
ing process was resorted to. Lawson
stated to the court that the men re-
leased him when he promised to leave

HARDY FAVORS
COUNTY BONDS
Retiring Member of Board of County
Commissioners Believes in
Good Roads.

L. w. Hardy, who retires this yeal
as member of the Board of County
Commissioners is one of the strongest
opponents of the need. of good roads
and the county bond issue. Mr.. Hardy
says that his experience as a farmer
has taught him that hard surfaced
roads mean actual money in the farm
er's pockets, and that the building of
the county road system will increase
the business of the city and county
alike.
Mr.. Hardy's experience with tenn
porary roads has showed him that
such highways are little more than
liabilities, constantly requiring fix
ing, repairing and rebuilding.
Therefore" says Mr.. Hardy,
When we build let US build some
thing good. Let it not be for present
delight, nor for present use alone. Let
1t be such work as our descendants
will thank us for, build roads of mod
ern construction capable of standing
motor truck traffic and of sufficient
width to justify traffic.
The building of good roads be-
comes to the county today more i'm
portant than was the building of our
vast railroad system. Until we build
permanent roads into the country and
connect up our farming section with
our market we shall not be able to
stem the rush of population from the
country to the city.
Good road building is one of the
supremest tissues of this county today.
Upon it rests to a large degree our
social, religious and moral prosper
ity.
