Leo Frank Loses In The r. .

Washington, April 19. Leo
M. 'Lrank, "under death sentence
for the, murder of Mary Phagan,
an Atlanta factory girl, lost an
other step in his fight for life in

'In a decision, to which Justic-
es Holmes and Hughes dissented 1

Georgia which refused to release .

rights in fthe Georgia courts. .
. Seemingly, no other avenue of

Hauling Fertilizer
At one time it looked like the
farmers of this County were go
ing to curtail the use of fertilizer
this year, which meant a cutting
down in the tobacco crop, . but
from indications during the U past
few days there seems to be littll
hopes of any decrease. Well, of
course the farmers know their
business, nevertheless, we regret

v. 'i : noiiBORO's
.From Allensville. . : .
I have read very, carefully the ?
law in regard to the bond 'issue
for Roxboro and such other town
ships as may wish to vote it, and
while I worked and fought v hard '
against the bond issue, of oneTear r
ago I would be willing to .work
and fight equally. hard for a fifty;
thousand dollar bond issue i- for "
Allensville township. According
to my way of seeing ft one year ',
ago-we were promised worse than .
nothing if the issue r was carried. I
and I know many of pur best men
saw it in the same, way, - becauo '
the amount was too Small: to '
famount to any good' towards per-i
maneot nmg, improvexzienw pu
with a fifty thousand bond issue
for each . township, except Rox "
boroand seven ty. five thousand
dollars for her, it would sound
more like getting good roads; and
the tax to pay these bonds would 4
be nothing like what most of us y
waste each year for trifles. Noth-
ing outside of a bond issue, I don't
think, will ever give us good roadsV r
. Nearly every one admits our
road money is now wasted and
will continue to "be as long as our i
present system lasts, so the soon
er we make a change the better, '
provided that change is a wise one.
The increase tax for the average
farmer I think would not be more
than from two to five dollars per
year. Of course, some would ? pay
Jess and some more according to
poverty or wealth, and this is not
much compared with hauling-over
. good and bad roads.
f i With the bond issue of one year
ago there was nothing - certain as
to where or- when:we ""Would bev
benefitted if the act was' passed,
but under the present act " our
money would be used just where
we had voted it to be used and no
where else, andjf we should be
successful in selling these bonds '
the work would commence at once
and within two years we should -have
many, if not all, our roads
in Allensville township worked.
I believe Roxbor township is
going to vote these bonds, then
why not Allensville do the same
thing an(j gve us a 0od road
