About Str«*«*t Working.
Editor Leader: — In reading over
the yearly rep irl of the Board of
Aldermen, the llgures pertaining to
the street fund set me thinking.
Oct. 1st, 1900, sliowel 698 91 in the
street fund treasury, against 65V).91
spent above street tax e illections up
to Oct. 1st, 1991. including street
commissioner'ssalary the total amount
expended on the streets would reach
nearly 62,000. Notwithstaudiug this
appalliug figure, many of our most
public streets have receive I hut sc mt
attention, and some of them none.
The north end of Church street has
been put in splendid order, while I lie
Southend, beginning at Whitworth
College, is a segregat 'd mass of wash
outs, forming holes, in soai" of whie i
you could hide a yearling, la front of
the public school is a hole tbit in fair
weather is inconvenient enough, ha
during or after a rain is positively
dangerous.
The gutter on trout street from tlie
corner of the 11m k of Urook haven to
the Thos. Perkins corner is tilled con
tinually with a black slimy mud, that
is not only very disagreeable to tlie eye
and offensive to the nos but is posi
tively unhealthy.
The street money is exhausted and
over $T>uO of the treasury fund spent,
and still some of our streets are in u
very bad condition. When Mr. Hurst
was commissioner, all the streets got
attention and he left $98.94 in the
street treasury on leaving ofiiee.
There is no earthly reasou why one
street should be worked and another
neglected. All tax payers are entitled
to equal consideration.
The question arises: “What are we
to do?” If the working of the streets
were given out by contract, like our
public roads, every street would re
ceive impartial attention, be more
thoroughly worked, and I have no
doubt at a considerable saving over
the old method.
Now do not think for a moment that
I am trying to dictate. I know that
the board is composed of business
men, having the welfare of the public
at heart, and will take this suggestion
in the spirit it is given a spirit of
interest in the good of the community.

Two young negroes about 29 years

Springs and Hogue Chitto last Tburs
day by the local passenger train and :
brought to Brookhaven. One was dead \
when they were picked up and the '
Other died soon afterward.There seems
much uncertainty whether they were
killed by a train or murdered. One

Brookhaven. Nov. 18.—Some tine
work was done for Lincoln county in
the Circuit Court this morning. John
R Albritton, the leader of the baud
of law-breakers in Southwest Lincoln,
who was hiding out and eluding the
sheriff and his deputies all last week,
had offered to surrender late Saturday,
and it was understood was ready to
throw himself on the mercy of (he
court and make the best terms he
could. It was also made known to the
court that Ase and .Tim Bob Brown,
two other prominent members of the
gang, who had been confined in jail
ever since the first of last week, were
also in a penitent state of mind and
desired to throw themselves upon the
mercy of the court.
These three men were indicted joint
ly for the burning of two public school
houses and a church near the Lincoln.
Pike and Amite county line last sum
mer. There were separate indictments
against them for the burning of each
house.
Albritton was first arraigned on un
indictment charging him witli assault
with intent to kill and murder K. L.
Breut in tiogue Chitto on Sept. 1. to
which he pleaded guilty. He and the
Browns were then arraigned jointly on
the arson indictments. The Browns
stood up and pleaded guilty to all three
of these indictments and Albritton not
guilty. Subsequently Albritton wasal
lowed to withdraw his plea of guilty in
the case of assault with intent to kill
and murder, and enter a plea of guilty
in one of the arson cases witli the
Browns, and the Browns were allowed
to withdraw their pleas of guilty iii
two of the arson cases.
Judge Powell then ordered the
prisoners to stand up, and when they
imd done so, sentenced all three to the
State penitentiary for a term of live
years. At the same time ho notified
them that he would simply order a
stay of proceedings in the other cases
against them, and that they would be
called upon to answer in the future on
these if their present sentences proved
insufficient to properly reform them.
John 11. Albritton is the most noto
rious man in Lincoln county. He whs
an ultimate associate of John J. Sas
ser, now under sentence of death for
murder, and since Sasser was convict
ed, last May, has seemed anxious to
catch up Sasser's mantle and become
the recognized leader of the toughs.
In addition to the two indictments for
arson above mentioned there are still
two indictments pending in the court
against him for assault with intent to
kill and murder and several others for
smaller offenses, all except one being
returned by the graud .jury at this
term of court. Albritton says that, be
was not guilty of the crime of arson,
to which he pleaded guilty, and had
only intended when he surrendered to
plead guilty to the charge of as a lit
with intent to kill and murder, but he
said he was convinced the State would
convict him of the arson charge on
fake testimony, and hence decided that
the cheapest w.iy out was the course
he adopted.
The results reached in these cases
are highly satisfactory to all good
citizens of the county, and Judge
Powell and District Attorney (1 reaves
are being warmly commended for the
effective work they have accomplish
ed. In the southwestern corner of the
county, where this lawless band oper
ated, matters bad reached a point that
all law-abiding citizens felt that there
was no security to either life or prop
erty, and that if they did not receive
relief at this term of court they would
either have to sacrifice what they had
and move out or take the law into
their own hands. Timex-Democrat

We found all prisoners were well sat
isfied with treatment accorded them,

cared for.
We also examined the county jail,

was past and the child recovered.”

It contains no opium or other harm
