A
COUNTY SYSTEM
OF HIGHWAYS
; To Be Planned By State Engin
eer Who Reports Jackson
County Awake to the
Project.
—
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Jan. 15.—State
Highway Engineer H. R. Carter
! has returned from an inspection
of the highways of Jackson
County, and is working on the
plans for a comprehensive high
way system for he reports that
he finds the leading citizens of
the county enthusiastic over the
project, the principal promoters
being County Judge Coe, George
A. Hillhouse, E. L. Boyce, of
Newport and L. D. Smith and E. !
V. Holt of Tuckerman.
The whole county is to be or-1
ganized into an improvement1
district, and the legislature will
be asked, in 1915, to pass a spe
cial act authorizing it. It is
hoped that active work may be
begun in the spring of 1915. Mr
Carter is making all the plans
and estimates, and the work will
be done under the supervision of
the State Highway Department.
The plan will provide for about
125 miles of permanent high
way.
Mr. Carter is making immedi
ate plans for the construction of
a 250-foot bridge, to cost about
$5,000, over Village Creek, three
miles out of Tuckerman, to be
paid out of the county road and
bridge fund, and to be erected
under his direction.

County Court here yesterday, al
though the petition for license at

they wanted more time to take a
census of Marked Tree for them
selves. The attorneys for the

were not able to agree on a date,
the court fixed the hearing for
Thursday, January 22.

Would Close Livery Stables.
i Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Jan. 15.—In re
sponse to a request by Mayor
James F. Dyson of Cotton Plant
[for an opinion on the subject,
i Attorney General Moose has ad
vised him that it is against the
law to keep open a livery stable
i on Sunday. He cites several au
thorities, and concludes:
i “From these authorities I
think it is fairly clear that the
ordinary business of a livery
man is no more a work of neces
sity on the Sabbath day than
any other business. In case of
ia funeral on the Sabbath the
furnishing of vehicles, I should
think, would be considered a
work of necessity, and the liv
| ery man would violate no law
[ furnishing such accommoda
tions.
Cotton Coming In.
Since the roads have dried out
and milder weather permitted
picking in the few fields where
cotton yet remains, receipts
have been picking up and aver
age about 25 bales per day on the
street here. The price Thursday
1 ranged all the way from 9 to IS
! cents per pound, depending up
! on grade and seed brought $1<
per ton.
