Hon. L. Marks, who owns the land
surrounding the town Of Marks IN.
Quitman county, is organizing a stock
company for the purpose of develop
ing the place. He proposes to sell
the land adjacent to the town for
reasonable sum and aid in every way
the building of a good city Marks
is an unusually rich section of the
country and should be a thriving place
of several thousand people.

Within few days the special ses-
sion of the Legislature will convene
for the purpose of attending to the
business assigned them. This body
is composed of good men who will dc
what they believe to be right star
as is in their power. There is a great
deal of very important matter to come
before them at this session and much
time will be required to handle the
business in an intelligent and safe
manner. The State has much at stake
just at this time. Our people are ex-
periencing an unusual period of pros
perity, which in reality is just the be-
ginning, unless some untoward action
delays the development taking place.
Many schemes and pet measures will
no doubt find a resting place, there
to lie undisturbed for all time to come
but there are sure to be a number of
radical changes in our laws. Let US
sincerely hope that they will be for
the best. The writer is more inter
ested in laws that vii assist industrial
development than any other, believ-
ing that from this source is to come
our greatest benefits in the future.
This matter has been totally neglect
ed lnthe past, and as a consequence
Mississippi is far behind her sister
states In the manufacture of crude
material. 1t may be that the expe-
rience of the past three or four years
has thrown light upon the subject
that will influence the law making
body to recognize the need of some aid
or assistance in the way Of industrial
activity. It is to be hoped that this
is true. The results shown by the
industrial department. Of the railroads
the Greater Mississippi Business Lea
que, the local organizations of like
mature and the far reaching effect of
the Mississippi Industrial Exposition
should influence those in power to
encourage In a substantial manner the
furtherance of the work. The Expo
sition recently held viii be worth hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to the
state, not only in bringing to the at
tention of good people from other
states to what we can do, but in stim-
ulating effort among our home people
to attain a greater efficiency. The in
dividual effort of enterprising citizens
has shown wonderful results and there
is every reason to believe that some
thing should be done by the great
state to further the ends being strivep
for. Let us hope that the legislators
will heed the necessity for some ac-
ton along this line, and give substan-
tial assistance in the great work M
dertaken by individuals.

A friend in speaking to the writer
few days since remarked that it
must be continual strain to write so
much optomistic matter concernig
Mississippi. 1t is generally conceded
that it is much easier to criticise than
to commend. But the work of re-
cording good things about our great
state is no task at all. The only trou-
BILE experienced is in keeping within
the limit placed on the space allowed
by the ready-print houses. There is
so much that can be said, and that
without getting beyond the plea of
facts, that it is an easy matter to fill
the two columns allowed. The news
papers of the state, from which tbe
matters handled are taken, are falling
more every week into the habit Of
recording experiences that are inter-
esting and convincing, and at the
present rate of improvement within
short time whole page would be re-
quired to keep in touch with the good
things being done in Mississippi.
An addition is to be made to the
Laurel cotton mill, 160x75 feet which
will contain $500 spindles and all nee
essary preparatory machinery. This
mill is large one and the new machin
cry to be added will give it consnm-
ing capacity of 10000 bales of cot
ton per year, or just about as mreh
cotton as is raised in Jones county
The mill has proven a paying propo-
sition and is a great thing for that
section. Then too it will be prepared
to use all of the cotton raised in Jones
county. How many counties in Mis-
sissippi manufacture all of the cotton
raised therein? Not another one, but
everybody should do so. When Mis-
sissippi manufactures the cotton rais-
ed within her borders and receives the
whole amount of money spent for the
completed product, then will we have
a "Greater Mississippi" in every
sense of the word so far as our leading
product, cotton, is concerned.

E. B. Flynn, attorney for High Sher'
if Henry H. Peck, his deputies and
others at Windsor, presented the con-
fession from Leon Perham, now serv-
ing life sentence for completely in
the murder The confession was OBJ
tanned in Perham's cell in Windsor
prison. Perham declares, the confes-
sion reads, that while Mrs. Rogers
took part in the murder, he had testi-
fed she administered the chloroform
to save his own neck.
The peculiar atrocity of the crime
and the fact that woman who Is now
only 22 years old wrought out in her
mind the clever plot by which her hus-
band, man of powerful physique
came to his death. made the Rogers
murder mystery sensational from the
outset. New England doubtless has
shown more anxiety concerning the
fate of the prisoner than that Of any
criminal, similarly charged, in the an
nails of the Atlantic coast states.
The murder was committed the
night of Aug. 10, 1902. The motive
was Mrs. Rogers passion for man
who, as long as she was married, re-
NAMED Indifferent to her. His name
is Morris Knapp, and he was men,
Der of the Bennington militia when he
first met the woman.
When she was II, Mary Callahan,
the daughter of woman whose life
had been filled with hardship and mis-
fortune and of father who was
irascible and wild, was welded to
Marcus Rogers of Bennington. The
girl had been working here and there
as a maid servant. She was treated
gently, as 1t was feared her predis-
position might run along the lines

discovered beside a small stream 10
the outskirts Of Bennington. Near by

note, purporting to have been written
by him, saying he had drowned him

in a woman's handwriting. 1t was
generally known Rogers and wife had
separated and that the young wife
cared more for another man. Sus-
picion was directed toward her.
At the inquest she said she knew
nothing of the matter, but another wit
ness, upon whom Mrs. Rogers de-
pended, broke down and told a story
duplicating her as the author of the
plot. This was Leon Perham, aged
20, mentally feeble and the sweetheart
of Stella Bates, who was supposed to
be close friend of Mrs. Rogers.
Fearful of the law, Perham suddenly
turned states evidence. Perham
named Morris Knapp as the man with
whom Mrs. Rogers was in love, who
repulsed her because she was married.
He declared the girl married Rogers
with the knowledge that he carried
$500 insurance on his life, and that
to win for herself a new home she de-
cided to commit murder.
Perham's story substantially was as

She challenged her husband to let her
