Wholesaler Says Price
Cutting Near Its End

CHICAGO, June IL. '. Farwell,
head of the wholesale dry goods house
bearing his name, does not believe
that there can be any early recession
of prices in the dry goods field.
81 think this wave of 20 per cent
slashing is about over" said Mr.. Far
well. 1T was started as an advertis
ing feature and it is unsound in prac-
tice The Chicago merchants of the
better class are not cutting prices in
that way. Mills cannot supply the
staple dry goods in the face Of the
heavy demand, and l cannot see how a
general reduction of retail prices can
be brought about at this time"

ABOUT THE WARREN
CLAIBORNE HIGHWAY

ClaiboTAe county wants connect
ing good read with Warren, and they
want it TO lead into Vicksburg, as well
as running from ViclSsburg to Port
Gibson their county seat. This fact
was made known yesterday by Joe
Craig, engineer Of that county, who
was in the city conferring with the
road commission of Warren county
on matters of the greatest import
ance in connection with the good
roads movement in both counties.
Mr. Craig also related some very
encouraging things in connection with
the good roads in his county, in line
with similar action taken by people
in other counties where good roads
have been constructed and new pro-
Jects are under way. This referred to
the right of way for the good roads.
In Claiborne county the people, wher-
ever a right Of way was necessary
gave it gladly and freely, without one
cent Of expense, SO that all the money
can be expended for good roads. The
same thing has been done in other
counties.
Mr.. Craig also stated that whenever
the road builders found gravel pit
accessible, the owners Of the ground
or pit, gave the gravel for the good
roads and this, too, enabled the COM
mission to make the monye 90 further
by extending the mileage. Every dol
lar saved on gravel went into good
roads mileage. He said the people
realized the value of the good roads
passing before their property and they
were glad to cooperate.
Mr.. Craig's object in conferring
with the Warren county commission
was to urge this county's cooperation
in the purchase Of the abandoned
bridge Of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley Railroad, and use the old road
bed as the right of way for the good
road connecting Claiborne and Warren
giving a good road from Vicksburg to

ALFRED HOWARD JAILED
FOR BURGLARlZING STORE

Last Thursday night Alfred How
ard, colored youth about twenty
years Of age, broke glass window in
the front part Of David Books De-
partment Store and took away a suit
Of clothes, four hats and a pair Of
shoes.
Howard boarded the south-bound
train at Gordon station, but had only
enough money to take him to Lor-
man. However, he gave the porter
hat to pay his way to Harriston. The
porter, who had been told that How
ard was from Clarksdale, became sus-
picious when he discovered that the
hat had Books name in it, and tele-
graphed back to Mr.. Krauss of the
Book firm that the man was at Har-
riston. The authorities soon got in
touch with business men of Harris
ton, and Howard was soon brought
back to Port Gibson and lodged in
jail.

building more gravel roads. This time
the amount Of the issue to be voted on
is $4,000.
The miserable roads this winter
have convinced the taxpayers that
the most expensive things in the coun-
ty are the dirt roads which we have
tried to keep in passable condition
but have failed. There are many
places where it has been impossible
for q vehicle to pass for two to three
weeks at a time. People on the Rus

tically all winter.

DISTRICT TWO
SELECTS ROAD
Decides to Use Old Road Bed From
Big Black Toward Port Gibson if
Warren County viii Cooperate.

The road commissioners and super
visor Of Dist. No. held meeting
and unanimously decided to build a
gravel road along the old road bed
which the Valley road constructed
and later abandoned from Big Black
toward Port Gibson if Warren county
would cooperate in making it an in
ter-county road. AS we understand
the proposition, the road would ex-
tend from the old railroa dhridge
which it is hoped the two counties
can acquire at small cost to the Hum
phreys places, thence across King
Iron bridge TO Port Gibson.
We understand there was not a
dissenting voice on the proposed To-
cation Of the road, showing that what
Mr.. Morehead stated regarding his
district is true.
