CLAIBORNE COUNTY'S
WELL-GRADED ROADS
Many Miles of Valuable Highways
Have Been Made During Past Year.
Strengthening and Grading Perma-
nent Improvement.

In company with Engineer Craig,
a Reveille correspondent amde swing
around loop of new highways which
are credit to the county.
The trip was made from Port Glib
son to Hermanville, thence to Patti
son and back to the place of beginning
distance of near thirty miles. The
first four miles of the trip was made
over an entirely new road bed, along
the crest of the hills north of Bayou
Pierre, through the Titche and Ben
ton places. Most of this road will be
grayeled, and the work is expected to
begin soon. The bridge near the bay
ou is yet~to be built, the delay being
due to delay in getting the
lumber. Reaching the Romola
school house we struck about a third
Of a mile of road, the only portion
between Port Gibson and Hermanville,
which has not yet been graded. Then
we reached the road laid out by En-
gineer Daniel and built bv Owen g.
Son Some of this, especially near
the Bruce place, required heavy grad
ing; but, in order to. remove many of
the sharp curves, but little regard
was paid to the old bed. In the COR
porate limits of Hermanville ]. w.
Clark, who has done considerable road
work in the Fourth District, was just
completing the last link of this part
of the highway
After leaving Hermanville, we went
over another stretch of graded road
which was also the work of Engineer
Daniel and Contractor Clark. This
extended to the Bayou Pierre bridge.
From that point to the Hazlehurst
road no work had been done. How
ever, this work is being contemplated.
This road could be shortened and
would traverse a muc hmore desira-
Bile section should it hug the bayou
to the north Of the present route, but
we are told that the residents of the
neighborhood desire TO remove it still
further south in order to make a long
er loop. thereby reachine more peo-
pie,
The Hazlehurst road is graveled
from the intersection of this road to
Port Gibson. West of Clark's creek
bridge an important change was made
which eliminated all of the crooks
and turns. Bearden brothers gaVse

their entire place along this road free

of the straightest and most attractive
of Claiborne's gravel highways.
From Pattison to Port Gibson the
gravel road is excellent. We
have heard many statements that the
road would soon go to pieces, but,
Notwithstanding the heavy traffic over
it during the wet weather Of last win
ter and spring it is in splendid
condition. The surface is a.most like
concrete. This road was laid out by
Engineer Craig and built by the board
Of supervisors, and it is certainly
monument to their good work.
We have not been over the Rus
sum road, but are told that it is being
wonderfully improved.
While the new dirt roads cannot be
expected to remain good during bad
weather, they are in position to be
kept UP at much lss expense than
formerly, and when the county gets in
condition to gravel them the work can
be done without additional grading.

EFFORTS TO SAVE
BUILDING MAY FAIL
Plan to Buy Remaining Compress
Building, With Grounds and Side
Track, Not Meeting With Success.

Monday, W. @. Guthrie and j, w.
Person canvassed the business inter-
ests of Port Gibson with view Of
getting enough subscriptions Of stock
to purchase from the Churchill Com
press Co. the last remaining building
on the old compress site, together with
the ten acres Of ground and the side
track, to be used as a cotton ware
house, and another year to erect
compress gin 10 take care OF the cot
ton which comes to this place.
They found so much divergence of
opinion on the subject that they be-
came discouraged, and it is probable
that the opportunity will be lost.
Port Gibson is badly in need Of
something that can take the place of
the compress in order to make it a
good cotton market and if our busi-
ness men fail to realize the import
anee Of this they may realize their
mistake after it is too late.
It seems to us that the Business
Mems Association should get busy.

FEDERAL RESERVE INsTITu.
TIoNs EARN 500 600, goo.
House Committee on Rules Gets Fig
ures From Gov. Hardine-May
Investigate Administration.

Washington, May 6.-Earnings of the
federal reserve system this fiscal year
We're estimated at $I00,000.O00 by Gov.
Harding of the federal reserve board,
in testifying at the house rules com
mittee hearing on the resolution pro-
posing an investigation of the admins
tration OF the federal reserve act.
These earnings, he said. would ex-
coed by $10.000000 those of last year.
which he said represented a return Of
ITO per cent on capital stock.
Without explaining his statement,
Gov. Harding told the committee that
serious problems confronted the coun-
try in the next six months. Referring
to complaints OF country bankers
against the universal par clearance
order of the reserve board, he said
such protests were TO the board like
"fleas to a dog, who must have fieas
to know he is a dog"
Mr.. Harding said he had no objec-
ton of any Investigation of the boards
methods but the controversy as TO
par clearances could be settled by
amendment of the federal reserve act.
Alexander w. Smith of Atlanta,
counsel of the State and National
Banks Protective association, contend
cd that the reserve banks had a we'll
defined plan TO embarrass state banks
not on the par clearance basis. He
submitted afiidavits OF Nebraska
bankers shat checks that wpre drawn
against them had been returned to the
persons receiving them with the nota-
ton payment refused" although the
checks had not been presented by the
reserve banks for payment.
The committee will hear additional
representatives of safe banks before
acting on the resolution.
