ONE JUROR WAS VERY ILL The jury went out at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but because of the ill- ness of Mr. Rosson, one of thejurors, has not been able to consult until 6 o'clock. There was a@ difference of opinion among the jurors as to the degree of guilt of the defendants, but an agreement was reached quickly. The cours was conveyed at 8 o’clock and the jury sent word that it would be able to report shortly. At 8:45 o’clock the bailiff called for the county physician. Mr. Rosson wagin a state of collapse and needed * attention. Is was half an hour be- fore Rosson was revived, the jury came in and elx deputies carried in the bed upon which the sick juror lay. The foreman announced the verdict, the defense called for a poll which was made and the judge dis- missed the jurors. Roeson’s condi- tion is such that it was deemed ad- visable not to move him. DEFENDANTS EXPECTED THE VERDICT. The defendants received the verdict calmly, as they had been expecting it since the closing of the arguments. Mr. Pierce, an attorney, turned to them when it was announced and sald: “We will tear this case to pieces in the Supreme court.” When the jury’s readiness to report was announced the militia quietly surrounded the court house and a demonstration. The prisoners were quickly handcuffed and under m'ii- tary escort taken to prison. Captain Quentin Rankiu was hang- ed and shot by the nightriders at Reelfoot lake one night last October. Together with R. J. Taylor, Captain Rankin was taken from his hotel by anarmed band to the bank of the lake, Taylor got away by plonging the darkness. \ GOOD ROADS KNOCKER.

ALLEN, Eprroz or ‘times:—In almost ev- Jan., 1909, ery paper, L see good roads advocat | ed, which is & good thing to talk about and recommending donations for paolic improvement. .Now, isn’t oor government already in debt more shan she can pay? [see our stateand our county, also ournetgh- bors in debt? I can cite you to 80 farmers al! joining on @ rural route, 24 mortgaged. Is that what you would call prosperity? How many miles of rock road could these farm ers build at. $4,000 per mile, as one advocate sald? Now those farmers are most all hard working men. Some are young, trying to make homes. It they are burdened with heavy tax, they will have to quit business, Then we will have to en- large our poor house, asylums and penitentiarles. Besides the rock roads cannot be built justly. It wouldn’t be right to tax the man that lives 5, 10, 15 and 20 miles off the road, Because if he could travel that far on dirt and mud, he could go on with both horses, as it would cost more to send the horse back home than to feed {tin town. Ihave failed to see any good reason why we should build rock roads. If such roads cost $4,000 per mile, {¢ would cost $320,000 to build two roads across Bates county. Do you know there fs a little R. R. debs on part of thiscounty? And don’t you know there {s a drainage debt also to be pald by somebody, beside our state and county tax? And as the country improves, the tax gets higher. Brother farmer, how much more can we do and feed our farrilles. Lets not be stuffed long with wind. Let other counties have what they want, so they pay their bills. I would rather have 40 acres of land-paid for than to have Bates county and owe all its worth, The arguments produced !n favor of good roads {is not worth consideration. If those advocates wart todo something for the farm- ers lets ask for government welghtsin every clty, and a standard price on produce that will justify the pro- ducer, and compel every one to be governed by it. Then we will ngt charge sv much for marketlag one bolled egg. Our dirs roads would be good enough for farmers, if they were worked at the proper time and in the proper manner, Some roads are half worked, and some are not worked at all.
