ROAD TOOLS SECURED.
Big Shipment Arrives Lancing:
Government Allotment.

THE PRESS feels that it will be
of general interest to the citizenship
to be acquainted with the fact that
our Road Commission, taking ad-
vantage of opportunity presented to
procure for Morgan County surplus
War materials available under the
Kahn Congressional Bill, has,
through its initiative and the coop
Grafton of the Department of High
ways of Tennessee, been allotted an
immense amount of road tools.
The shipment, transferred last
week from the Lancing depot to the
ware house of Mr.. John w. Hall,
consists of many hundreds of brand
new axe mattocks. pick mattocks,
picks. round point D-handle SHOW
els. handled axes, etc, and has in
fuenced much favorable comment
upon the UNIV avering energy of our
Commission.
This valuable, and much-needed,
road working equipment was pro
cured on a payment-of freight basis,
the cost, in freight charges, being
$49.8O. Supt. Walton states that
there has not been opportunity yet
to even open the numerous. boxes,
and crates, and count the vast
number of tools, but an offhand es-
innate of Associate R. H. MAIDEN,
who stored the shipment, is that
they are worth in the neighborhood
of 100000.
The Commission is in high spirits
over this haul" and over its abil-
ity to now supply the needs of the
various sections of public roads in
the county. Distribution will short
ly be made to Road Overseers, and
the surplus tools will be stored.
Mr.. w. H. Jones of Lancing. is
custodian of the tools, and will dis
pense same upon written order Of
the Commissioners, and Overseers
will be required to carefully pre-
serve, and account for, tools furn-
ished.

SHORTEST ROAD
To CINCINNATI.
Building of Important Highway
is Assured.
State Highway Officials Here
for Conference.-The Ford
Offer Will Fail.

w. P. Monroe, chief engineer of
the state highway department, and
J. H. FISHERMAN, secretary OF the
commission, spent yesterday il the
city, comforting with John Lowell,
Mark Wilson and others of the Lee
Highway association regarding the
possible destination of the Chattan-
ooga to Memphis link OF the Lee
highway, and also other important
road projects.
Following their conference it was
intimated by those participating
that the road up the Cincinnati
Southern railway route to Lexing-
ton is assured. This road will be in
either class 3 or 4. 1t will be by
about seventy five miles the short
est line to Cincinnati, and when
completed will make it possible to
drive good car from this city to
Cincinnati in day.
Scott county has had $300,00O in
the bank for the past three years
ready for the building of its portion
of the road, and in Morgan county
the money is ready whenever 1t /,
decided to complete the road. These
two counties are the only ones that
have to actually build their roads,
the remainder of the thoroughfare
to the Kentucky line being in good
condition already. There will be
only about thirty-fve or forty miles
to build in Morgan and Scott coun-
ties.
The Kentucky people in the Sec
ton through which the road is to
pass are enthusiastic over the pros
pect of the completion Of the line to
Lexington, which will give them a
most excellent highway entirely
across the state to the Ohio river.
They are ready to do their part in
building the line, and are anxious
to complete it as early as possible
The Tennessee highway depart
ment, it is understood, will immed.

this line, which they consider one

REPORT OF GRAND JURY.

We, the Grand Jury for Morgan
county, legally drawn, summoned
and sworn and charged to inquire
after the body OF the county for the
term of the Criminal Court, at
Wartburg, Feb. Goth, 1922, make
the following report:
We have carefully inquired into
the condition of the affairs of the
county and have made diligent
search after all law breakers. We
have also examined the condition
and upkeep of the Jail, and find that
the jail is as we'll kept, if not better
kept than formerly; still there are
grounds for Improvements. But we
do not presume to suggest such i'm
provements, -. ......=-....
We think the sheriff has done ex-
ceedingly well with the jail under
present circumstances. The Grand
Jurors takes pleasure i'll congratulate
ing the Sheriff for the way and
manner he has kept the Jail, being
handicapped as he is.
We have examined the bonds OF
all the officers of the county; there
no charges in the conditions OF the
bonds, or the sureties since the last
term of the Court. We think them
sufficient for the present time.
We have also examined the other
public buildings and find them IN
fair condition, but would that an
addition be built to the County jail
that boys who have to be confined
in jail be kept separate and, apart
from older criminals. That differ
ent department be made for colored
prisoners. We would recommend
that the upper story of the jail be
put in condition for female prisoners
These suggestions are made in re-
gard to the building and not to the
manner in which the building is be-
ing maintained by the Sheriff.

Counties had only five months this
year. We are two months ahead of
our sister counties on the length OF
term. 1t is the length OF term that
counts. Why not try for an eight
months term next year. 1t can be
done. Better teachers and longer
terms will make Morgan County
shine educationally. Set yourself
down and think for few minutes,
if Morgan County should run all her
rural schools eight months every
year for ten years, could you esti-
mate the value this would be to the
rising generation? Would you be
able to measure the improvement
such condition would bring to our
county. Why not try it?
But there are few people in the
county who must be made to send
their children to school Isn't this
awful? The most valuable thing a
child can get is an education, and
yet, some parents must be made to
send their children to school. The
majority of those who have to be
made to send to school pay very
small tax or none at all. This is a
strange condition, Let us all stand
together for the. education of our
children and can that grouchy dis
noSitiOn.

A CRIME AVENGED.

Petree, Christmas, Stevens and
Mcclure met death early Wednes-
day morning in the electric chair
at Nashville, for killing Lewis and
attemp on the life of Crumley, on
the night of May 3Oth. 1921. near
Robertsville, in Anderson County.
This was one of the most horrible
crimes ever committed in Tennessee
They paid with their own lives the
horrible crime they committed.
Petree and Mcclure were buried
at Nashville, Stevens at Liberty,
near Wartburg, and Christmas at
Hartman. The law is mighty in its
power and majesty against evil
dOers.

NUMBER l

of the most valuable trunk lines the
state could build. Just few miles
of actual road building will link.
Chattanooga up with the Ohio city
with which Chattanooga business
men have extensive dealings, and it
passes through a rich section OF the
state, and the fact that it is the
shortest route and consequently the
line that can be most cheaply con-
structed insures the early completion
of the line, With a resultant benefit
to this city and all the territory
along the line of the Queen q Cres-
cent route north.
In the discussion yesterday it
seemed to be the general opinion
that political influences would pre-
vent the Ford proposal for Muscle
Shoals from being consummated,
and if such be the case there would
be little or no claim on that section
for the routing of the Chattanooga
to Memphis link of the Lee high
way. Those connected with the
state highway department favor the
Nashville route, at all events but
if Ford S offer for Muscle Shoals is
accepted by the government, then
the argument will be renewed for
that route for the Lee highway.

SCHOOL PROBLEM WILL
Be PUT UP TO PEOPLE
Tentative Plans for Improvements
and Alterations Approved by
County Board

Tentative plans for an auditorium
building containing a number of new
class rooms and alterations to the
old building to make it safer and
more convenient have been approved
by the county board of public instruc-
ton, the former being approved
at the regular monthly meeting of
the board Monday and the latter at
being prepared under the direction of
the trustees of the Punta Gorda Spec
tal Tax School District with the con
sent, advice and approval of the
county board, and If the plans are
carried out within the next two years
Punta Gorda and Charlotte county
will have an up-to-date, adequate
school plant as good as any to be
found in towns of similar size in this
part of the state, but ii will be ac-
quired at far less cost than many
others in this section.
The plans contemplate an auditor
ium with ample stage and a seating
capacity Of about 700, including the
gallery, and 10 additional class
rooms, including those to be made by
partitioning the present auditorium.
These alterations and additions, it is /
believed, will provide ample school
room for the town and county high
school for the next 10 years,
In having the plans made it is the |
feeling Of the trustees and the county |
board that as the representatives Of /
the people in school matters ii is
their duty to take cOgniZance Of the
need for improvement and enlarge
ment of school facilities such as they
see existing here, to inform the pco-
pie of the need and suggest a RENE
iy, if there is one, for such COndi-
ions, so within the next few months
t is likely that the people will have
hese plans presented to them for
lpproyal or rejection,
The trustees were instructed to
proceed to completion of the plans,
which are to be presented at the
IeXt regular monthly meeting of the
ounty board.

Negro Convict Killed at Bcrmont

Last Friday afternoon, Frank Dick
son, a negro convict from Hills
borough county who was serving a
lite-term for rape, was shot and NOR
tally wounded by A. E. Shealey, one
of the guards, and died at sunset
Sunday He was a member of the
gang working on State Road No. 2
at Bermont; and it seems that he had
been hogged for some lnrraction of
the rules, which greatly enraged him.
and he advanced on the guard in a
threatening manner He was warn
ed to stand back, but paid no atten-
tion to the warning, and continued
to advance, whereupon the guard
shot him three times Each shot
took effect, one in the stomach, one
in the right breast and one in the
right arm. The wounded man lin
gered till Sunday afternoon, when he
died, as stated County Judge Ira
bue being notified, had Sheriff Lips
comb summon a coroner's jury con-
sisting OF J. G. Mcyrick r, b. Single
tary, Jesse Morgan J. G. Cooper. J.
s Goff and Arlie Hatch. who went
in cars to the scene and held an in
quest sunday night Their verdict
was that the killing was done in self
defence and was, therefore, justitiable
homicide.
