Interval 1000*1013. Dates of first is
sues were reported, however, for only
57!l counties. First issues for 1012 and

"During tin. past three years coun

The bulletin pr?senta diagrams,
halt-tone illustrations and statistics in
.illustration _of its text dealing with
the economic valu,, of the market
road, the cost of highway construction
and maintenance,_the methods of is
suing bonds and the total cost of
highways. It dwells upon legal re
strictions op bond issues and the need
for highway engineer, and. discussing
the advantage of bond issues, says:
"The issuance of highway bonds is
essentially a method of eapUali/.iiiK
the resources of a conimcnity for the
purpose o fcreatlng improved high
ways. The fundamental advantuge of
the bond plan Is the construction of
a good system of roads at once, hut
there are secondary advantages in
building roads in long stretches and
in the planning of the maintenance
of such roads.
"The ouest ion 1? hot merely wh?'th
? r a community shall lueur a debt:
It is also a tiuestlpn us to whether
the maximum economic efficiency am!
the fnl! development of the public
woaltlt will be hest promoted bv using
public credit.
* Tu t.Ims's has been placed in this
ubljeritlon on the strictly measurable
economic benefit- to a enmmun'ty
rrom rond improvement. There are
mam aiTditional economic benfits and
very creat social benefits which are
no trf-adily measured. Increased
-' honl and church attendance Is
sho vn in repeated Insinu?es to me an
immediate p-mao'tuence of better
> 1- t: ?* general lit'imnlus to busl
ne?-s i? (HfPeUlt to evaluate. It Is cvl
^tlont, however, that Iiur'ticss and pro
fessional men of all classes are among
the first to> be benefited. This is es
pecially true of'physicians. The cost
of upkeep of automobiles, partlcular
ly of t'res, Is becoming yearly a large
item, nnd the road condition n
most ser'ciis factor for the nutomohll
Ist ar.d the users of motor trucks.
"It should he understood ah the
outset that the question of debt It
self Is relatively less imnortnnt than
the ouest inn of sound planning nnd
i-ooil management of the loan. The
very nresence of tho imprrved roue)
svstem increases the value of the
county property, and therefore the
resources supporting the loan. It is
a well-established business principle
that extension of crcd't within safe
limits is necessary for maximum re
sults. The financing of all private cn
terprlces by bond issues haB increas
ed very greatly. In 1908 statistics
show that during the preceding decade
bonds were issued as a method qf cap
italizing public and private enter
prises at the rate-of $583,000.000."
Meetintc an argument which Is
sometimes advanced the bulletin says:
"Ir. planning the highway system or
the main market roads, as mentioned
above, it will be found necessary to
omit many roads the improvement of
which is greatly desired by abutting
landowners. The fact that such pro
perty-holders must pay a tax for the
bond issue > ' only an apparent injus
tice, for If the highway system Is well.

"The rad thai cities and larger

Un ir own limit - is sometimes made
a point of debute in homl elections, .
It is argued thai because a large purl '
of Hie county wealth within the I
( rporate limit of such < it it s and \
towns, highway bond money should a I- I
<i b?j us? il to construct their streets. I
u is cv?n urged that tne expeuditure
iiuuld be piade proportionate lu the
'issesjjcd wiluatiou within I he city j
hints. Ii the proceeds oi highwaj

u i^ii p.Tcentage o. lau assessed
.a,nation may he city properly, li is
now kiiiiwn thiii He expenditure of
city laxes on country ruad is n
sound principle, uud mat ii is eue of
the ne t features of State nid for
highways. In Massachusetts the city i
of llostoii pays possibly lt? per eeul
of the Intal Stati- highway fund, but
not a mile of Slate-aid highway has j
b? h built within its limits. New :
kork city also pays about till per cent, i
of the cir-t of the Santo highway
bonds. Some state laws prohibit the
expenditure of proceeds of State;
highway' holds within corporate limits j
of cities or towns. The Improvement |
of market reads results in Improved
marketing conditions, which la neflt
the city. Most cities are essentially |
dependent upon the surrmindiug I
country for their prosperity and de
velopment. The development of mile
urban property for residence purposes
is also dependent upon highway con
ditions, and it is becoming evident
! yearly that whatever makes Tor an
i increase in rural population must be
I encouraged. Since the introduction of
I motor t rallie, country highways have
j been used to nnincreaslug extent by
city residents. In fact, the cost of
inaintaining many country highways
Ilms been greatly increased by (he
presence of cily-owned motor vehicles.
I T!ii> general advance of facilities lor
doing country business from town
headquarters when roads are improv
j ed is no inconsiderable faetfer in the
I commercial life of a community."

Lhei skull with u blunt instrument,
was being lowered In the grave In the
ceinclcry near there Thursduy after
noon, between 12 und 1 o'clock, an
other chapter, fraught with baffling
mystery, was added, to the tragedy,
when Karl Hurton, suspected of hav
ing had some connection with the
murder of the old lady, was shot
through the head with a pistol in a
clump of woods some r>oo yards from
his home on the Scott place.
The negro Is nol yet dead, hut' the
wquud in his head has paralyzed his
tongue, and. being bereft of the power
of speech., and unable to write, he
cannot give the name of his assailant,
who he evidently knows, since
he nods his head in assent to the
question whether he can loll who
shot him. The attending physician
states that there is no hope for the
recovery of the negro, and unless
some way is found by which he can
nicke known the name of his assassin,
he will go to hin grave with" the secret
on Ills'Hps.
Among the Suspects,
lien Massey, who was carried to
Abbeville jail last Wednesday togeth
er5 with rharlio Logan, self-confessed
stayed of Mis. Scott, and Karl Hor
ton, the negro who lies at Iiis home at
Lowndesville speechless from the ef- |
feets of the bullet sent into his brain j
by an unknown assailant, claim that
on the night Mrs. Scott was attacked i
they were in Anderson and spent the |
night here with n negro named Will j
Davis, a brother-ln'-lnw of Hurton. !
While the funeral of Mrs. Scott was ,
rv?ln?r held et t\\f ernv? Thursday nf- !
ternoon this Earl Hurl on wan shot
through the head with a pistol in a

and walked to his house unaided. He

Reedy Horton. This old negress, It is
snld.-ls the one to whoso home little

Earl Hurton was shot with a pistol,
the ball entering the left side of his
head and stopping Just under the skin
of the right side of his head. Dr
Thomas Kirkpatrlck was summoned
from lx>wndc8ville to attend the
wounded negro, and he has stated
that there is no hope of recovery for
the patient. The w ?und In the negro's
brain has paralyzed his power of

Mag strate lluekahee told The Intel
lig ncer that no white people had
been arrested in connecti-on with the
affair, ami no other arrests had been
made with (he exception of that of
Will Johnson.
I'gly Humors Abroad.
As is usual in all cases of this kind,
various ugly rumors are afloat. In
fact, one can hear almost anything lie
wants to hear ubnut the murder.
Stories are going the rounds that
while people are mixed up in the kil
ling of Mrs. Scott, and that the negro,
ar negroes, who did her to death were
paid to do so by negroes. One report
went so tar as to say that one of Ihe
negroes had confessed that while peo
ple had paid him $50 to put Mrs.
Scott out of Ihe way.
So far as evidence bearing out these
reports is concerned, the reports are
as empty ;>s the idle wind. There are
number of people In close touch will;
ihe case who believe that the death
of Mrs. Scott was the result of a con
spiracy, and there are i'onie who Ise
lieve that all the fads in connection
with In.- death have not y< t been un
covered. I till so far as there being any
evidence in hand so far to hear oui
these rumors, there is nothing to it.
Theories of Shooting.
Of course, every oik? has his theory
of tin? shooting of Karl Burton. Some
have advanced Ihe theory that Bur
ton was shot by some person who
was afraid I hat the negro might lulk
and tell something about Hie murder
of Mrs. Scott that would implicate
htm, the person tiring Hie shot. There
are scores of other theories advanced
concerning tin mysterious affair, but
theories are not solving the puzzle
und a great many of them are so
reiliculoua us to he almost disgusting.

Tury .1 warded If im Verdict in Second

(From Saturday's Daily)
A verdict for the plaintiff award
lng"him the full amount of $2.500 sued
for, together with interest of $125.05.
wns Ihe outcome of the case of Judge
J. S. Fowh-r against the Georgia
Home insurnncp company, trial of
which was completed yesterdav in the
siir'np term of the court of common
plens for Anderson county.
This Is the second ease tried of the
six which this plainl'ff brought,
n gain st n number ot insurance com
panies carrying policies on bis auto
mobile garage which was burned sev
eral months ago. entailing a loss es
timated at $34,000. The aggregat?"
mount sued for In the six cases -vas
$22,000. This is also second victory
for Judge Fowler in this matter for
the jury in the flrfil ease awarded him
i verdict. Suit in Hie first case was
for $2.000. hut in this Instance inter
est was not allowed.
The Remaining C:p>ps.
The four remaining cases have been
carried over to a Tuture term of the
court, and will be taken up hereafter,
unless n settlement of some kind Is
reached in tilt meantime. It Is pre
sumed that the two cases tried in the
court just ended will be npncnled to
the higher court, nnd the outcome of
these appeals will doubtless deter
mine in a large measure the ultimate
disposition of the four remaining
crscs.
The tria', of these cases attrac ted
wide interest, despite the fact that
they were long draw., ou and decid
edly intricate nnd tctjhnieal In detnll.
The defendant companies were repre
sented by both local attorneys and a
contingent from Atlanta. The plain
tiff also had a brilliant array of coun

stubbornly contested.
