A TAIL LIGHT PROBLEM!

In several Of the states there IS a
law which requires each vehicle NOV
ing along the highways at night to
display a red light at the rear. This
is sensible law. both for the motor
vehicles and the horse, drawn affairs.
says an editorial in Motor Life. But
how about the animals themselves?
Suppose you were driving along the
highway some dark night and you
ran into a COW which was being led
by rope attached to a wagon, the
animal having INSTRUCTED your view
Of the wagons light. A judge in a
New York court had to pass on a suit
based on such circumstances, and he
decided that it was incumbent upon
the driver of the wagon to keep his
light clear.
Which brings forward the thought:
II It is necessary for slow-moving We
hicles to carry lights. why should not
sloW-moving animals also carry them
CoWa and horses are rather bulky OBJ
structions, SO. therefore, we may pos
sibly assume that the day is not far
distant when bossy and dobbin will
be fitted with special light-carrying
devices when they go strolling along
the dark roads at night.

GOOD ROADS NEED
OF WEST VIRGINIA
Editor Declares State Must
Decide Between Highway
Betterment or Ruin.

Good roads are essential to the de-
velopment Of West Virginia. accord
ing to Boyd FARRELL. editor Of the
Huntington Herald Dispatch. He
makes the following statement:
The state must either have good
roads and plenty OF them or else
lapse back into a condition which
will be little better than barbarism.
Because Of the isolation and lack
of opportunity imposed by present
conditions the rural communities Of
West Virginia are being drained of
almost every drop Of their first-class
blood. The aspiring. intelligent and
womanhood born in the hills Of West
Virginia, despairing Of opportunity
here, are migrating like birds of I'M
erring instinct and going to lands
where conditions are less irksome and
chances more favorable.
Lack Hampers Produetion.
Lack Of roads. therefore, not only
impoverishes the soil and holds down
production. but impoverishes the state
of its manhood and womanhood Red
blood and fine native intelligence,
such as are the heritage of thousands
of rural-born West Virginians, will
not bear the restrictions which ex-
listing conditions impose. Being I'M
the lack-vision standpatters who care
not for progress, they migrate. The
result is that energy. intelligence,
progressiveness and farsightedness
that would prove Of incalculable BEN
eft to the social and economic life
of the community are transferred to
other states. and West Virginia loses
that which might easily be retained
to her tremendous advantage.
The choice West Virginians must
to- hAfv n 0
its rural population. The ambition
of the West Virginia boy or girl of
average intelligence is not to make
the farm their permanent home and
agriculture their profession, but to
get away from the farm and its i'm
prisonment as quickly as possible.
Condition Must BE Changed.
This condition must be changed. It
will change only when the cause re-
sponsible for it is removed The cause
| is isolation. poverty and lack of social
opportunity. Paved highways alone
will save rural West Virginia And
urban West Virginia will never be
able to hold it's own with the other
states if this cause is neglected.
West Virginians should rally as one
man in support of the good roads con-
stitutional amendment. Now is the
time to enlist. 1t will take organiza-
ton and the best quality of team
work to put into effect the magnifi-
cent plan for the temporal redemp-
ton of West Virginia
Good roads and social betterment
are all one problem in West Virginia.
Good roads and the rural church are
all one problem in West Virginia.
things so badly needed. The other
things SO badly needed cannot be
given to the rural people until roads

COUNTY AGENT TO PUBLISH FULL

of farmers club together.
One car Of cattle was shipped by
the agent on last Monday and a car

week, Mr.. Wells announces. The
cattle brought net price, of s4.75

MACON WANTS
COLUMBUSROAD
PEOPLE OF NOXUREE COUN.
TY ANXIOUS FOR DI.
RECT ROAD TO
TWO MILES MISSING.
Missing Link Is In District FOru
Of Lowndes County. Noxu-
bee Building TO County
Line.

That the people of the Cliftonville
section and in Noxubee county are
anxious for a more direct road to Col.
umbus is evidenced by the enter
prise of several citizens of those Sec
tions in the movement to secure road
improvement which will make the
plan possible.
Mr. Ben Dee of the Cliftonville sec
tion, who is intensely interested in
road Improvement and especially in
the plan to open a more direct route
to Columbus from Noxubee county,
was in Columbus the past week in the
interest of the movement.
Mr.. Dee states that the people of
his section are extremely anxious to
get teh road through and that Noxu-
bee county has already made provis-
ION for its share Of the direct route
road and win meet the Lowndes
county road at the county line south
Of Trinity church.
A section Of road only two miles in
length is the missing link in the plan,
and an effort is being made to in
duce the District Four authorities to
provide for the construction Of this
two miles Of road. Mr.. L. G. Bridge
forth is commissioner for the dis
trict which is operating under the
State law which requires only one
commissioner.
1t is said that the newly proposed
route will shorten the distance from
Macon to Columbus IL miles. At
present it is necessary for Macon
people to reach Columbus to detour
BY Crawford making the distance 43
miles. The new route will bring the
mileagc dowa !, n miles.
The sugeested plan is TO divert the
jackson highway or rather project
road from the Jackson highway
at Trinity church directly south
striking the county line two miles
south of the church. Mr.. Dee states
that Noxubee county has already
made provision for the extension of
the road leading out from Macon to
the county line, but it would be folly
to extend the road there unless Il
connected with Lowndes county i'm
proved road.

CRIME AT AMORY
MAN KILLED FOUR, BURNED
BODIES IN VICTIMS
HOME.
.DYNAMITED HOME.
Feeling Running High In Com
munity Against Murderer
Mob Violence
Feared,

Amory, Miss, Jan. 16.-Their home
dynamited, four members Of the FAM
lily slain, the bodies sprinkled with
oil and burned, one survivor, girl
of IA years, today lives to tell the
story of the gruesome tragedy that
was enacted last night four miles
from Amory, when the household of
Robert Miller, practically was wiped
out.
Charles Marshall, age 80, was ar
rested early today and is in Jail,
while excitement is running high and
mob violnece is feared.
The Dead:
Robert Miller, aged AZ, farmer.
Leonard Miller, aged 16, a son.
Fannie Green Miller, aged II, a
daughter.
Burley, aged 10 months, infant of
the daughter.
The sole survivor, VINO made her es-
cape by hairsbreadth ruse, is Pcria
May FILLER, who today gave a state
ment Of the tragedy. She has di-
rectly charged Marshall as the slayer
of the family.
Marshall was under indictment,
charged with seduction, in connection
with Fannie Green Miller, the farm
er's daughter.
According to members of the posse
who captured Marshall, they found
him few miles from the scene Of the
crime, where they seized wildcat
outfit together with several gallons of
corn whiskey.
The girl, Peria May, said Marshall
came TO ths.. .arillN home about Z
o'clock last night. Their first know
ledge of his presence was with the
explosion of the dynamite that al
most wrecked the house.
"Then he began shooting" the girl
said.
II cried to my sister Fannie to hide
until we could run.
"Then my father and Leonard were
shot down and Sister Fannie said,
mo, I'm not going to run now; he's
killed daddy and brother and he might
as well kill me-"
"She had the baby in her arms
when he shot her, but he killed the
baby with something in his hands,"
The slayer, according to the girl,
sprinkled kerosene over the bodies
and the house and then set them on
fire.
The home is total wreck and the
bodies were burned beyond reccg-
milton.
Miller was a quiet good citizen, his
neighbors assert. His wife died some
time ago and he had resided with the
son and two daughters. Marshall was
indicted following the birth of the
baby, but the case had not come up
for trial.
The conservative citizens are en-.
deavoring to quiet the mob spirit, but
feeling is running high, and at noon
today none,could forecast what might
