Lauderdale county, one of the most
progressive in the state, is becoming in
oculated with the good roads virus.
Mass meetings have recently been held
in Meridian where the subject was care
fully and intelligently discussed and it
is the purpose of the citizens to carry
the campaign to the most remote dis
tricts of the county The interest in
better roads is of much promise for
doing something to make them better.
When the people begin investigating y
subject, and especially one of such great
Importance, they are sure to work out
and devise some reasonable means of
accomplishing the object sought. May
this great movement gain in strength
as the year grows older and never ex-
perience a period of waning interest.
The present spring has been most
favorable one and the weather for farm
ing has been highly favorable. In view
of these facts it is somewhat surprising
that reports from some sections of the
State are not good as to the progress
that has been made in farming opera
tions.
Political enthusiasm is beginning II

evidence of superiority in the line of

that Charles Anderson brought one to
that Office that weighed seven pounds

he promises to grown one next fall that

Spring Wardrobes \
Easter Frocks Planned During Lent

predomlnates No fuliness is allowed
over the hips, and If the material Is
to be laid In tucks or box plaits these
must all be cut away underneath. Be
low the knees, however. a short skirt
must have a decided fare, and this. of
course depends largely upon the fit
and hang Of the petticoat With The
new frocks it is still found advisable
to have the skirt lining separate from
the dress. for it is always easier to
have silk skirt fitted with a plain
yoke than it is to have a new lining
made each time that the old one gives
out. A single cloth skirt will outwear
many a silk one.
Braid and straps formed of stitched
bands of silk and plain cloth are seen
to some extent on the new gowns, and
fancy buttons are also used sparingIv

the skirt generally carries out the de-
sign, though many skirts, being com

CLOSE OF THAW CASE.
NG-DRAWN-OUT TRIAL COMES
TO AN END.
Famous Legal Battle Lasts for Three
MOnths-ProceedinE Have Been
Eagerly Followed by Reading
Public in Two Continents.

After having been out thirty-one
hours and still unable to agree upon a
verdict, the jury which had Harry
Thaw's fate in it's hands was locked
up for the second night, Thursday,
shortly before midnight.
Events moved swiftly and thrilling
ly in the last day of the great Thaw
trial in New York. For Thaw and for
those who were hoping for bis acquit-
tai it was the most soul trying ordeal
of the twelve weeks which the trial
had lasted. Upon the heels of District
Attorney JerOmes closing address,
nearly every word of which was like
the blow of a lash on Thaw and his
girl wife, Justice Fitzgerald charged
the jury in a manner that seemed to
dry up every vestlge of hope for Stan
ford Whites slayer. And then the
case was given to the jury.
The closing day Of the trial proceed
ingS was the most dramatic since the
prisoners wife recited her pitiful story
on the witness stand. District Attor
ney Jerome dissected the argument of
Mr.. Delmas for the defense and tore it
to shreds. Selling upon incidents in
Thaw's life, he pictured the prisoner as
a man whose character was as black as
that of Stanford White, and Evelyn
Nesbit he portrayed as a girl anything
but the innocent child Mr.. Delmas had
shown her.
Harry X. Thaw sat with clenChed
fists and banched face while District
Attorney Jerome tore his life to shreds,
and demanded that the jury assess
against him the death penalty. Sar-
casm tipped every word which the dis
trict attorney spoke. He declared the
pathetic "unwritten law" arguments Of
Mr.. Delmas, if needed by the jury,
blance of a western mining camp, and
ridiculed the Elemental Americana" on
which the final plea for acQuittal had
been made.
The district attorney declared that
romance and sentiment did not enter
into the issue; it was not a question
of Stanford Whites character or Eve
Ign Thaws sufferings; it was a plain,
matteroffact homicide. "A common,
cowardly tenderloin murder" is the
way he termed it.
1t was Jerome's summing-up speech
the last word in the famous trial be-
fore the judge intrusted the prisoners
fate to the jury. Jerome dashed Thaw
as with a knout of a thousand fails.
1t was the most savage attack of the

whole trial There was not a dark
page in Thaw's life that was not turn
ed to the light of criticism and blame.
So fierce, so vindictive was Jerome that
there were many who believed he was
purposely seeking to goad Thaw into
some outburst. "He is guilty and
should be punished" was the burden
of his speech.
And following this terrific arraign-
ment which had turned the hopes of
Thaw and his relatives into forebod-
ings, came the judges charge to the
jury. AS the jurist, avoiding all eff
forts at oratorical effect, went over the
facts and admonished the men who are
to decide on Thaw's fate to put aside
passion and prejudice and render
verdict strictly on the legal points at
issue, an expression of AFFECT terror
overspread the prisoners face. The
judges definition of insanity sufficient
to cause an acquittal dampened the
hopes even of the prisoners lawyers,
and as the jury filed out of the room
it was plain that all concerned were
anxious.
After celebrating for more than
eighteen hours without being able to
reach an agreement. the jurors report
ed before Justice Fitzgerald Thursday
morning and asked permission to ex-
anime large number of the exhibits
introduced during the trial and also
asked to have read to them the testi-
mony of several of the eyewitnesses
to the tragedy.
