Big BOND issues
FOR GOOD ROADS
Orange County, Florida, to Invest a
Million Dollars in Building
Brick Highways.

Baltimore, Dec. 5.-Interest in next
weeks vote on million-dollar bona
issue for the construction of trunk
lines of brick highways in Orange
county, Florida, reflects the enthusi,,
assn which has already placed Florida
upon the high road to improved thor
oughfares and is manifested in many
parts of the South, says the Manufac-
turer's Record.
In West Virginia, Mingo county, has
voted $150,000 of bonds, and Mcdowell
county will soon vote upon bond is
sue of 100000, while strong senti-
ment is developing in Mercer county
for an issue of 100000 of bonds to
supplement with macadam roads the
paved streets of such centers as Blue
fields, Princeton and Bramwell.
Last week Wise county, in South
west Virginia, voted heartily for a
bond issue of 100000, and Oklahoma
county, in Oklahoma, voted for $780,
600 of road bonds, the proceeds of
which are to be devoted to building an
East and West road and North and
South road from Oklahoma City.
Thirty-four counties in Texas have
voted since the beginning of the year
more than $4,OO0,000 of road bonds,
while 10 other counties are spending
annually nearly S1,OO0,0OO upon public
highways, not including proceeds of
bond issues.
There is activity, too, in Louisiana,
Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, North
Carolina and other Southern states
under the conviction that one of the
best forms of investment of money for
the state as a whole or for individuals
is in providing first-class highways as
sure means of bringing about we'll

ban communities alike.

SLAYER IF PACE
AGAIN ON TRIAL
sanity Plea at Cleveland
Today.

Jackson, Dec. 5.-Dr. Nolan Stewart,
superintendent of the Mississippi In
sane Hospital, has been subpoenaed to
attend the session of the Bolivar coun-
ty circuit court at Cleveland today,
and give expert testimony in the case
of the state vs. Charles Jones, charged
with the murder of Jesse Pace.
This will be the second trial of the
celebrated case. Jones was convicted
of murder several months ago, and
given life sentence. Appeal was taken
to the supreme court and that tribunal
ordered a reversal.
The tragedy was one of the most
sensational that has taken place in
the delta for several years. Jones was
formerly a prominent merchant at Gle
veland, and it is alleged that he killed
Pace because the latter, employed as
clerk in his store, had been making
love to his wife. A letter written by
Pace to Mrs. Jones fell into the pos
session of the husband, and the killing
followed. The insanity plea was pre-
scented at the former trial, and will
doubtless be renewed, in case the mat
ter comes up on the docket at tn
resent term. There are seriou
doubts on this point, however, for tn
