FRIDAY, Aug, 14th 1914 Sanitation. As we have gone over the county we have heard from dif ferent persons the complaint of the lack of sanitation and the conse quent spread of fever and disease. We print the following written by Secretary Wilson and we wish that more persons would . heed the counsel given. Espec ially lacking in this respect are the public school buildings all - ov er the county and we wish the school committeemen might rem edy this lack, because it is very easy. The U.

"Among the worst conditions ever to be found about any honse is soil that has been pointed with human excrement. A number of widely orevelent diseases have been spread by means of such polu ted soil, simply because the facts have not been generally .known. .Having at heart the best inter est of the American farmer and his family, I consider it my per sonal duty to appeal to every A merican farmer to do - all his power to remove any insanitary conditions that he may find on - his farm or in his neighborhood, and thus, by protecting the mem foers of .his family, perform one of his highest patriotic duties.

With the Murder of Ethel Woody at Hot Springs Alter Preliminary Trial, Both Committed to Jail Without Bond In the case of state vs Bessie Graham charged with the murd er of Ethel Woody at Hot Springs on last Friday the defendant was given a preliminary hearing on Tuesday before Esq., Barnctt Fortner. The evidence of the state tended to show that the de fendant had shot four shots at the deceased who afterwards went down to the river and was drown ed.' Afterwards, Monday, the Woody girl was found in the riv er and & coroner's inquest was held later. The defendant was arrested on a charge of murder and brought to jail where she has since been awaiting trial. Very little evidence was introduced. The leading witneui was a little eight year old girl who swore to two or three different stories. The truth about it is that the little girf appeared not to. know the facts. During the course of this trial there was evidenpe to the effect that one Lizzie Roberts was with the defendant on the day and at the time of the alleged homi cide and that she pursued the Woody girl with a stick; that' when they were at the river bank the Roberts woman struck her with the stick and that she fell into the river and floated olL The same witness, the little girl, stat ed that the Roberts woman struck her with a stick and after she had pulled off her slippers and stockings she waded out into the river, got on a rock, slipped off and that as she floated off down the river with her eyes shut she waived at her and her little sister and told them good bye. At this point of the testimony Lizzie Ro berts who had been subpoenaed as a witness against the Graham woman was ordered under cus tody. 4 At the close of the evi dence on behalf of the state the attorneys for the defepdant mov ed to dismiss but stated that they would not insist on the motion if the state would put up sufficient evidence to warrant the justice in binding the defendant. They in sisted that there should be more evidence or a dismissal of the case but the justice held Jthat the state haJ shown probable ' cause and remanded the defendant to jail without bond. There was no trial as to Lizzie Roberts. She was not allowed bond. The state was represented by Attorney G. M. Prltchard and the defendant, Graham, was repre sented by Messrs. Guy V.

Madison County has completed a fine road out to the Tennessee state line near Wolf Creek. The abject of the meeting at Newport is to dis cuss ways and means by which Cocke County can connect with the Central Highway at the. state lino. Madison County will soon have the Central Highway built from the state line near Wolf Creek to Asheville, and when Cocke county connects with this road it will give the people of Tennessee a fine Highway into Western North Carolina, this will be the most' important road con necting the two states.
