STATE HIGHWAY
engineer HERE
Met Board of Supervisors and Several
Citizens at Court House Tuesday.

State Highway Engineer Deitze
met the board Of supervisors and a
number Of citizens at the court house
Tuesday 10 discuss government aid in
the construction Of public highways.
There We're several very interested
listeners, and they We're greatly inn
pressed by the frank and business-like
manner.
Mr.. Deitze fully explained the way
the federal and state appropriations
for roads were handled and how the
money IS expended He stated that if
the proposed amendment to the CON
stitution, which would take the state
highways out Of the hands Of the SUI
pervisors and place them under the
care of the State Highway Commits
sion, is passed and the legislature
gives the commission certain changes
which are proposed for the taxing
laws, these main arteries can be tax
en- care of by the state without any
expense to the counties whatever. He
also told his hearers that the only diff
ference between the federal highways
and state highways is that the feder-
al governments aid would extend to
about $500 miles Of road, while the
state highways are about 4500 miles,
though the state highways include all
of the federal highways also.
Mr.. Deitze then announced that the
State Highway Commission had last
week voted an appropriation Of $780,
900 to Claiborne county for road con-
struction as soon as the county will
appropriate a like sum- This money
can be spent only on government ap-
proved highways. At present the on
ly approved road in the county IS the
one extending from Big Black river
to the Jefferson county line. Howev-
er, the State Highway Commission
has approved two other roads, the one
from Port Gibson via Pattison to the
Copiah county line and the other from
Port Gibson via Hermanville to Jack
son, and he is Of the opinion that it
woul3 not be difficult to get federal
approval Of one or both Of these high
ways
He thought the county should at
once take advantage Of the appropria-
ton and spend the money on the
north and south highway. He stated
in reply to a question, that an engi-
neer would not be available to go over
the proposed road from Port Gibson
to Hankinson for about six months
The road commissioners of the Sec
ond District and the president of the
board of supervisors signed an appli-
cation for $4,000 of the available
100000 Of government aid, and as
soon as m engineer can be had the
road to Big Black will be surveyed
He was also taken over the road
from Port Gibson to the Jefferson
county line.

perate Prisoner Before Expiring.

condemned murderer, are dead as the
res1lt Of a pistol duel which took
Mace this afternoon on the third floor

Shortly after Bonds relatives had
departed from the Jail, Jailer Harris
went to the third story Of the jail to
carry dinner to cells occupied by
three condemned men.
on arrival at the cell occupied by
Bond, one of the negroes assisted the
taller in throwing back the bars. In
side the cell Bond was standing with
both hands against the door. As the
bolts fell back, Bond lurched forward
and pulled a pistol and placing it a.
gainst Jailer Harris breat, fired and
turned to run
Though mortally wounded Harris
fired three shots, killing him instantly.
Harris reached down, picked upBond's
pistol, walked down two flights of
steps locking each door behind him
as he passed through. He then walked
over to the courthouse, climbed a tall
fight Of steps and with shirt afame
from Bonds pistol and blood spurt-
ING in stream from the wound,
calmly told Sheriff Louis Williams:
"Old Bond shot me and / am done
for. / have locked up the Jail and
here are the keys" He then sank into
a chair and in five minutes was dead.
April /, 1921, Nancy Kelly, Henry
Bond and John Adams were surprised
in a dense swamp in Greene county
making moonshine whiskey by prohi-
btion Officer Jake Green and Town
Marshal T. L. Dunman Of Richton.
They were ordered to surrender but
instead opened fire on the officers and
killed them both. Bond was desperate
II wounded but recovered.
Kelley was first tried and condemn
Cd to death but committed suicide by
seyering his jugular vein as the sher-
ifr was unlocking his cell to lead him
to the gallows. Bonds trial followed
and he was sentenced to die. Adams
turned states evidence and escaped
with a ife sentence.

URGED TO SAVE FEDERAL AID.
State Highway Commission Gives
Facts of Amendment to Constitution

FaclS OF Amendment 10 CONSTITUTION
Jackson, Miss, July 1.-THE state
highway commission is doing all pos
sible to arouse interest in the propos-
ed constitutional amendment that will
give the commission full authority
over state highways, some 4500 miles
Of main trunk roads, taking in all
North and South and East and West
highways in each county and connect
ing every county seat by road that
will be under the supervision of the
state commission instead of the coun-
~ boards of supervisors.
This is the only way, it is asserted,
10 get federal aid for the state and
would save neat sums of money which
heretofore have been wasted. The de-
feat Of this amendment would cost
Mississippi S1,500,000 annually. In
some counties boards of supervisors
are fighting the amendment despite
the fact that supervisors still will
have all they can do in keeping up
their public roads that are not includ-
ed in the system marked out by the
state commission.
Automobile owners are said to be
heartily in favor of the amendment
and it is believed the great majority
Of the people of the state are con-
vinced they cannot afford to throw
away Sl,500,000 year by refusing to
do as the federal government suggests
and directs.
