STATE NEWS.

The project statement was sent to
Washington today, requesting Fed
eral aid on the improvement of one
of the few remaining unimproved in
the Mississippi stretch of the Jackson
Highway, which links Chicago, H.,
and New Orleans, La. The statement
requested aid in the construction of
an eighteen foot gravel road from
the Clarke-Lauderdale County line, a
distance of six and three tenths miles
towards Meridian, where it will con-
meet with the Arundle Road, an i'm
proved County project which runs on
in to Meridian.
With the ~surfacing of this link,
the highway from Pop~larville, where
it turns off into Louisiana, up through
H~attiesburg and Laurel to Meridian,
will be either already surfaced or un-
der construction, and from Meridian
to Columbus and on to the Alabama
line, is completed with the exception
of a stretch in Kemper County. Since
the southern route was finally decided
upon in 1916, construction on this
highway has gone forward rapidly,
the counties and State cooperating
in their efforts to complete the part
of this important national highway
lying in Mississippi.
Eighty-five and .seventy-seven hun
dredths miles of the two hundred
eighty-two of this road, are being
constructed with the aid of Federal
funds, there being nine Federal Aid
Projects along the route. Thirty and
ninety-eigflt hundredths miles of this
has already been completed, and the
other is rapidly nearing completion.
This leaves one hundred n~inety-six,
and thirty-three hundredths miles,
which have been constructed by the
counties through which the highway
passes.
If the proposed constitutional
amendment, which has been submit
ted by the Legislature to popular
ballot, is passed at the November
elections, this Highway will be taken
over by the State for maintenance.
since it is part of the proposed State
Highway System. This amendment
adds a clause to Sectlcs. ITO of the
State Constitution, making it read:
.'The boards of supervisors shall have
full jurisdiction over roads, ferries,
anu DIluScS III GIfCli respective Coui
ties, except such roads, ferries, and
bridges as shall be designated by the
Legislature as State Highways, which
highways shall be under the full
jurisdiction of the State Highway
Department for construction and
maintenance. This would enable the
State to take over and maintain in
the best condition, a State Highway
System, which would connect every
county seat and center of popula-
ton of six hundred or more in the
State.
The completion of the Jackson
Highway will mean much to the
State, since through traffic from the
northern states, bound for New Or
leans and the Gulf Coast will pass
through Mississippi. It will also
mean that the people along the line
of this highway in Mississippi, will
be able to keep in touch with the lar

Jules l.. Guinotte of the Probate Court
has refused to grant an application for
the appointment of guardian for Sarah
Rector, twenty-year-old negress. who
owns moro than three-quarters of
million dollars in oil properties in her

The application was filed several
months ago by John Collins, a negro of

law was not retroactive and that the
girl was OF legal age under the old law.
