Professional Jury Deals
 Blow to Alleged Boozers

Jackson. Mss, June 22.-(Speclai) The blind tigers and bootleggers of Jackson do not like the looks of the juries that have been sworn In to try such cases as may come up In cir cult court this week, and instead of prosecuting their appeals from tho city and justice courts have submit ted to writs of procedendo sending them back to the lower courts to pay the fines that were originally as sessed, and which in the great ma jority Of the 40 or 90 cases were "Sf00 and 30 days"
 This term of circuit court has de- veloped something new in petit iu- ries. business men having declined to make excuses to get off. and are serving where called. The eonse- quence is that the juries are the best seen here in many years. The pro- fessionai jurymen, those who have always hung about the courtroom just for the purpose of getting on the jury. are no longer in evidence. their places having been filled with substantial, wellto-do merchants and other business men.

He reports all countries visited across the sea as looming back after the war. He says the return to normalcy Is steady but sure and that Bel gium is actually already back.
 As to Germany, Mir, Threefoot says business was much better than he had expected to find and that the people were very much in earnest about restoring their country to itA financial and economic standing. The same was true, he said, of Italy, but slower, although very noticeable. France, he said, was slower, but even in that country where the de- vastation as, result of the war was greatest, there are unmistakable signs of better conditions.
 When asked if there was any great demand for cotton Mir. Threefoot smiled and said. Well. I got some orders that look good to me" He stated that conditions as whole in the parts of Europe that he had visited were much better than he expected to find

 CRIMINAL DOCKET HAS MANY LIQUOR CASES

Jackson. Miss, June 22.--tSpecial) William J. Buck. clerk of the SUI rreme court, announces list of so criminal cases that are to be called next Monday, June 26. It is inter- esting to note the character of he cases that have been appealed to the court of last resort. Of these 50 cases, 20 are for murder, man slaughter or assault and battery with intent to kill; 21 are for violations of the prohibition laws--making moonshine or selling whisky.
 It has come to pass that the courts of Mississippi are weighted down with blind tiger and bootiegging cases, and while a very small per cent of such iawbreakers are con- victed, the convict farm holds much greater number of white convicts than ever before in the history of the state. due largely to the manu- facture of liquors.

ROAD AMENDMENT
 URGED AT ROTE MEET

Lawrence, a well-known contractor, urged the people of the state to adopt the pro- posed amendment to the Constitu- tton that takes the construction of state roads out of the hands of those of supervisors and places that mat ter with the State Highway commits sion. This Is very necessary, said the speaker, for the reason that the government will not extend federal aid unless the roads are in the hands of the State Highway commissioners.
 It was also suggested by the speaker that adequate arrangements be made by boards of supervisors for maintenance of all such roads after they are constructed. Hinds county has found, after wasting many thousands of dollars. that mainten- ance is about as important as con- struction.
