This matter was pressed by the attorneys for Nellie and the gov ernor granted a stay of 60 days in the execution of Nellie and an in vestigation of her statement and charges made which resulted In an indictment being returned by the grand jury of Bibb county against Ed Cant charging him with partici- pating In the murder of Smith Bester.

 County Almost COmpIetee

HARTSELLE, Ala, Sept. 2.-(Spe- cial)-On that stretch of the Bee Line highway between this point and Cullman county the work Is fast be- ing completed. and soon the last links in it's construction will have been begun. Some days ago work was started from this end and headed south. The road is already com pleted down the mountain from the Cullman end to Lacon, in the south ern end of the county. At Lacon one of the finest road bridges in tho county spans Flint creek, and a like bridge has just been opened to traf- fife across Shoal creek, near here. The torn-up condition of this thor oughfare has been one of serious concern to the travelling public, as detours were frequent, and, being the main road through the county, took care of much travel. Its com pletion will be hailed with delight, and it is now possible to figure with some certainty on the date of It's completion.

WOOD FILES REPORT
Encouraging Outlook For Philippines
 Seen By Governor General

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.-An en- couraging feature for the Philippine Islands was suggested by Governor Leonard Wood, in a report submitted to Secretary Weeks for the year 1922-23, and made public today.
 The report told of defects which have existed in the island adminis- tration. revealed steps taken in the way of reform and treated optimls- tically of governmental policies made and being made by the legislature and people.
 General Wood confined his obser- vations to questions relating to ad- ministration, but referred generally to the political situation in the is- lands which, since the report was made, culminated in the resignation of number of Filipino officials.
 Among the government enterprises, he said, the Philippine National bank presented the most difficult problem, money being tied up in frozen loans, and must remain so for a long time. some of them indefinitely.
 Fortunately" he added, "the pub lie is aware that the government is responsible fer the bank through it's ownership of 92 per cent of the stock. The situation is thus relieved of any cause of alarm to depositors or hold CTS of the bans circulating notes."
