facts that will force radical activi-

Cotton Exchange" declared Presi-

Of liked differences" which, he said,

Continuing, Mr.. Barrett said:
Last spring, during the days of the
Roosevelt administration, the Far

to Washington to insist that the New
York Cotton Exchange be compelled
to cease its present mode of opera

A MILLION FOR
PUBLIC ROADS
LauderdaIe County Board Of Supervis
ors Will Take This Action at
Its Next Meeting.

Special to The Netos.
Meridian, Miss, Dec. 9.-The board
of supervisors of Lauderdale county,
of which Meridian is the county seat,
will this week take action looking to
the building of probably $1,000, 900
worth of sand, clay and macadam
roads throughout the county. Not all
of this work will be done at once, but
that is expected to be the amount to
be spent ultimately in the work of
road building throughout the county.
Thus Lauderdale county will set a
new record for Mississippi in the mat
ter of building good roads. The su-
pervisors will this week order spe-
cial election to decide on the issuance
OF bonds to the amount of 100000,
which will be used to begin the build
ing of system of good roads through.
out the county. This move toward the
building of good roads grows out of
a recent mass meeting held in Merid.
ian at which time a set of stirring res
olutions were adopted, calling on the
supervisors to take action in the mat
ter. These resolutions were present
ed to the supervisors at their monthly
meeting being held this week, with
the result that the special election
will be called. The bond issue will
carry in this county by big majority,
for the greater portion of the votes
are in Meridian, and Meridian is for
good roads heart and soul.
The plan as now mapped out is to
build good roads in several different
using Meridian as a start
ing place. While only $1,000 will be
spent during the first year, other bond
issues will follow, and Lauderdale
county promises to lead every other
county in the state in this most i'm.
portant work. The county at large
Will bear the expense of the work and
there will be no tax assessments
against the abutting property. County
convicts and day laborers will be en-
ployed in the work, and it is probable
that some state convicts may be Sc

TAFT OPENS FLOOD GATES
FOR WEALTH TO POUR in,

MONTROSE, Col, Sept. 24.-By press
ing a silver plate yesterday afternoon
President Taft opened the flood gates
of the Gunnison tunnel, through which
it is expected SIS, 900, 900 of wealth will
flow into the Uncompahgre Valley OF
Colorado. In reality only the waters
of the Gunnison River pass through the
tunnel gates, but water out on these
alkali tablelands is money Practically
the entire flow Of the Gunnison River
eventually will be carried in the tunnel
for six miles through a granite noun
tain, which rears it's head $500 feet
above the tunnels floor.
1t was one of the first and one of the
largest irrigation projects undertaken
by the Federal government, and the in
habitants of this valley were wild with
joy when they saw the dream of years
realized. The entire reclamation pro-
ject for this valley is only about half
completed, and there is considerable
work to BIZ done yet on the tunnel, but
the happy Coloradoans couldn't resist
the temptation of having the President
be the one to start the diversion OF the
Gunnison River from the rocky channel
that it has followed probably for ages.

URGE BULLETS FOR
WIFE OESERTERS

CINCINNATI, Sept. 23.-Six hundred
women of the Cincinnati Woman's
Christian Temperance Union decided
today that a husband who deserts his
wife should be punished precisely as
Uncle Sam Furnishes a man who deserts
the army or navy.
In a word, these women vow that a
wife deserter who. being ap~prehended.
tries to continue his fight, should be
shot on the spot. If he surrenders
quietly he should be jailed, perhaps In
Fort Leavenworth, for a long term.
The 800 Cincinnati women met in
special session today and voted unan-
imously to write to President Taft and
ask him to put wife deserters under
the same punitive laws as army and
navy deserters. Aid the Cincinnati
women voted to ask their sisters of the
women's clubs in New York and Chi
cago to sign the letter to President
Taft, too.
Some appalling figures were present
ed to the meeting. 1t was reported au-
thoritatively hat no fewer than 2,700
cases of wife desertion have been dis
covered in Cincinnati alone during the
last three months.

LENTz HITS COLBY
AS FORMER FRIEND

A seant half dozen persons saw the
much-heralded meeting between former
Senator Everett Colby, of the Progress
sive Republicans, and Major Carl
Lentz, running for Republican county
chairman on his own ticket, at Kem-
per's Hall yesterday afternoon, where
they were to nave held a debate. The
talks were to have preceded a barbecue,
and had been arranged by the Rev.
James E. Churchman. pastor of st.
Luke's A. Nj. E.. Church, and candi-
cate for the Assembly.
Although there was no debate the
leaders In the two fights held a little
eross-fire for the benefit of the faith
ful few who put in an appearance.
They shook hands and waited for more
hearers.
Major" said Mr.. Colby, 81 want to
tell you that | like the way you fight,
out In the open. l haven't any use for
the mar who doesn't fight that way.
Some of your friends are fighting in a
very different manner"
My friends?" asked the major.
We'll, former friends, perhaps, Is a
better way of putting it; men who used
to travel with you.'
You're one of my former friends.
You used to travel with me-
When he reappeared in the evening
the major waited for twenty minutes
and then launched his speech. He de-
clared that he was a friend of the
negro, while Colby would not be for
fear of offending his friends in East
orange. He believed, he said, in equal
rights for negro school children.
Il ask you to bring forward Mr..
Colby and Mr.. Colgate and Mr.. Dalrym-
pie and ask them where they stand on
this question:" he said. 'They Will
say that it does not concern them. They
are afraid to express themselves be-
caus they are afraid it will lose them
votes. l say this not because I want
your votes. but because l believe my
stand to be just and righteous"
The majors carriage was disappear
ing around the corner when Mr.. Colby
appeared. The dancing was brought to
n halt and the dancer gathered to
listen to the former Senator.
Il would like to have talked to him.
said Mr.. Colby after expressing regrets
that his opponent had gone. because
l have always gone on the principle
that a man who doesn't answer ques-
tions In politics isn't any good. and
wanted to answer these questions of
the majors. I understand that he
brought up the question of schools and
said that I took a position against your
people when I was IN the Legislature.
That is absolutely untrue"
