CARTER SPEAKS
HERE MONDAY
C ome To Newport Monday And
Hear How Jackson County
May Have System of
Roads.
_
Monday, February 23, is to be
the opening ol the campaign in
this county for a system of per
manent highways. Hugh R.
Carter, state engineer, who has
been studying our road condi
tions and investigating the as
sessed valuations of our county,
■will be here to address the peo
ple that afternoon, probably at
the courthouse, if arrangements
for the court room for one hour,
, can be made.
| This is the most vital issue be
fore our county and city today.
It is of more importance than
■ the political fortunes of any !
candidate or than any other is- ,
sue. And for this reason, it be-1
hooves the voters and taxpayers (
1 of Jackson to attend and hear *
just what is proposed.
Mr. Carter expects to be able j
i X n ^ 1L , X___ n
IV/ giYc viIC tcijvjjaj'ci o «*n lutJct UI j
what the cost as well as the re- j
suits will be. Give him an op
portunity to present the case of
good roads, before you say that
the cost is too great.
It is proposed that a system of
125 to 150 miles of permanent
macadam highways shall be con
structed by placing the whole of
Jackson county into an improve
ment district, except Barren and
Glaize townships, to do away
I with the present 3-mill road tax j
iand it is estimated that such a j
'system can be constructed i
(through a bond issue that will]
call for a tax levy of 5 mills in
| stead of the present 3 mills, j
from which such poor results i
have been secured.
This movement must have the
(support of the property owners,
.who will pay the tax, but if they
I will hear the issue fairly stated,
(their self interest will commit
them to the improvement. Many j
I of the largest land holders of i
the county are loyally support- i
ing this feasible and practical
movement to build roads in
Jackson that will develop and
make prosperous our county,
| towns and city and a large audi
ence of representative citizens
should be present Monday to
hear Mr. Carter.

Transfer of School Children.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 18.—In a
communication addressed to
Judge J. R. Patterson of Bee
Branch, Attorney General
Moose holds that the law for the
transfer of children from one
school district to another is for
educational purposes alone.
The state courts have held
that no man can have his
property and taxes transferred
to another school district unless
he has children of lawfuy age
who m,ay attend school in the
district to which the transfer is
made. He says further:
“If the transfer of the prop
■ • i i_ii- 11_
eny is vniy an niuiucni/ iaj me
transfer of the children and if
no children can be transferred
who are of school age, it would
seem that when the children
have passed the school age,
that the father of the children
would have no further rights in
the district to which they had
been transferred; nor would
his school tax be any longer
payable in that district.
“So far as I know, the ques
tion you ask has never been be
fore the courts, but it seems to
me that after the children have
become of lawful age, so they
have no more right to attend
school in the district to which
they were transferred, the fa
ther would have no right to vote
in that district. Manifestly the
sons of the father, have become
of age, could vote only in the
district in which they live.”
i
Prisoners Doing Good Work.
, The warden of the county
prisoners is now working his
force this way from; Rosie, on
the Batesville and Newport road.
There are now about a dozen
hands on the roads, and as the
spring approaches, it is planned
to secure some good roads from
this source.
This county maintains no
stockade or quarters for con
finement, but the prisoners are
moved from place to place, as
the work demands. They are
made to do a fair day’s work
whenever the weather permits,
and they are well cared for, and
none of those who have “done
time” make complaint of the
way they are handled by those
having them in charge.—Bates
ville Guard.
Suit Goes to Jury.
The suit of W. H. Morris ver
sus the Iron Mountain went to
the jury at 3 o’clock and at
press hour no verdict had been
returned.
Both sides anounced that they
were ready in the case of the
State versus John H. Keel and
others and it is probable that
j this trial will be held at once.
The case of the State versus
'Luther Alton for forgery was
| continued and set for second
Wednesday next term.
Charles Mann, indicted for
j assault and battery upon 3 bills
and once for assault with intent
to kill, has been arrested.
