GOOD BORDS QUESTION
Αι Itcreisf M Tex Bite Sagfested as
Nais to Score letter Mffc-
ways it CB» CMmty.
At the Good Roads Convention
held on the 7th Inst the road ex-
perts confirmed aa all observant
citizens have affirmed that the first
essential toward the improvement of
our public highways is to get the
water off the roads—that the only
practical way to do this is to throw
up the road bed so as to shed the
water and make side drain» to re-
ceive and carry it off and good cul-
verts to lead the water across or
under the road-bed into the natural
drains. So far all agree. A good
road-bed aheds its water into the
side ditches and they in turn conduct
to the culverts and natural drains.
When the road-bed is kept free from
water the road is good. When water
is allowed to stand on the road-bed.
ruts are soon made and mud-holes
inevitable and impassable roads the
consequence.
The road machines will do the
most of this drainage work; will do
it rapidly and well. If we have not
enough of these machines get more;
more horae» and more hands
The culverts across the road m&y
be tile or gravel and cement i. e..
concrete moulded into a drain where
it is to stay» These culverts should
have abutments at each eud made
of rock or cement to protect them
from breakage. The road overseers
should be compelled to protect the
culverts k»'«p them well covered
wirb soil and above all things to
keep the silt and drifting weeds
from clogging theoi. These things
being done w»· will bave fairly good
roads except during those very rainy
periods of exee>*st\<> rain·* when all
road» suffer greatly.
if it i« then (lccmfrt expedient to
cover the road-bed wjih rock gravel
or Kuiiibo. the leading roads can be
-elei ted and thus treated and we will
have as jjood roads as it is possible
to have for years to (ome.
The funds to do thin work up
to ihe surfacing with rock. «ravel
or gumbo can be raised by a fi rent
ad-vatorem road ta* instead of 15
cents as we have it now
This larger rate was insisted on in
the 1Mb legislature b> the black-
land représentatives but Hast South
and West Texas would no! agree to
more than 15 reins in the proposed !
amendment to the constitution.
I am^satisfied our people would |
aRref to a Htj-cent road tax without
a murmur their money would tie ex-
pended at honi·· under 'hfir o» u e\ es i
and among themselves where the j
belief il" would be patent dire»! and j
immediate
The 3t»-cem >ax is optional with

TARGET GUN VICTIM.
Master Annum CoJc Shot in Chin Vw·
trrdij' Afternoon
Master Anson Cole aon of Mr. T.
J. Cole was aecldently shot and
wounded yesterday afternoon. It
seems that he and I^ee Lasswell a
boy about his age were hunting rab-
bits with a small target rifle. They
had run a rabbit under the barn
which Lee shot at the ball killing
the rabbit and striking Anson in the
chin. The bone deflected the bul-
let causing it to range around the
ir-taeek bone and lodged under the
right ear from where it was remov-
ed by a physician. The wound is
|quite painful but no serious results
are anticipated.
When the accident occurred the
wounded boy was on the opposite
side of the barn to the boy with the
gun and was down on his knees to
see the rabbit killed.
Xot on the Program.
A performance took place in the
balcony last night at the opera house
that was not on the program. It is
claimed that an auditor in that part
of the house became a little boister-
ous and when requested to keep
quiet he assumed a rather belliger-
ent attitude. An officer attempted
to eject him from the house and it
is said several blows were passed.
It is said the officer had to crack
the unruly fellow across the head
with his revolver before he was
brought into submission. The dis-
turbance interfered with the per-
formance on the stage five minutes
or more.

TAKE MARRIAGE VOWS
ftr. Pit R. Witsoa «M rtiss Emu Witker-
shm joined a Hum.
The Cumberland Presbyterian
church at Midlothian was the scene
last night of the prettiest marriage
service that has been solemnized in
that city for some time. The prin-
cipal parties in this happiest of all
events in one's life were Mr Patrick
Henry Wilson of Waxahachie and
Miss Kinniaa Witherspoon of Mid-
lothian The popularity of these
two young people was attested by the
large crowd present to witness the
ceremony which united their lives
and destinies.
Not only was there a large attend-
ance of Midlothian people. but
about seventy-five went from this
city to be present at the marriage
and to join with the people of the
bride's home town in extending con-
gratulations to the happy couple.
The Central operated a special
train for the accommodation of the
groom the groomsmen and the
friends of the groom The train left
here at 6:45 and arrived at Midlo-
thian at 7:15. After disembarking
from the train the visitors went di-
rectly to the church where they
eagerly awaited the comins of the
bridal party.
The sacred edifice was handsomely
decorated for the occasion. In each
aisle near the altar was an arch
done in evergreens and white with
decorations around the altar includ-
ed palms ferns and cut flowers. The
soft glow of various colored tapirs
added to the beauty of the scene.
When the Waxahachie contingent
reached the church the building was
already comfortably filled and be-
fore the arrival of the bridal party
many were forced to stand
The ushers were R. G. Carlisle.
