Another COUNTY
WANTS GOOD ROADS
copiah County to Join the Movement,
and Citizens viii Ask for a
Bond Issue.

Special to The Nel0S.
Jackson, Miss, July 16.-The county
of Copiah is preparing to join the good
roads movement which is now gaining
much headway throughout the state.
The taxpayers of the first supervisors
district, which includes the town of
Hazlehurst, will present a petition to
the board of supervisors at the Au-
gust meeting asking that bond is
sue of 100000 be floated for the pur-
pose of building good roads in that
district. There is no opposition in
evidence, and the bond issue will
doubtless be f1oated.
Judging from movements that have
been launched in the various counties,
and plans that are being placed on
foot in other counties, indications are
that bonds in the sum of not less than
100000 will be issued in Mississip-
pi this year, under the provisions Of
chapter 419, of the laws Of 1910, which
permits one district in a county to
issue bonds for the purpose of build
ing good roads. The statute in ques-
tion appears to be the most popular
measure passed at the recent session
of the legislature.

WISE MAY BE SPEAKER
He Seems to Be Backed by Taggart
Fleming and the Combined Lii
quor Interests.

A special from Indianapolis says
that there is feeling al Democratic
headquarters that Thomas Taggart
and Crawford Fairbanks ,as well as
Steve Fleming want Adam Z. Wise
elected speaker of the Indiana Leg
islature. If this proves true Wise will
be chosen.
1t is believed that as long as the
division in the Marion County dele
CATION exists by reason of the fact
that there are two candidates for
speaker from that county, there is no
chance for the election of Marion
County man. At the same time there
are those among the political wise
ones who think they see the fine hand
Of Thomas Taggart in more than one
place and they are watching develop
ments closely.
Overtures have been made to sever
al candidates to get out of the way
for Wise and they have come from
Taggart men. AT the same time
Taggart and his following are known
to be behind w. w. Spencer and the
political observers are waiting to see
which one of these men it is-wheth-
es Wise or Spencer-that Taggart
men intend to drop.
1t is declared that Taggart promis-
ed to support Spencer for the speak
ership if he would run for Legisla-
ture At the same time, it is said,
promises were made to Wise that if
he would not push his candidacy for
nomination for attorney general too
hard against Thomas M. Honan of
Seymour he could have something in
the future Now he is asking for the
speakership, and he and his friends
are trying to hold the Taggart men
to the argument. Then there are
stories that Taggart himself would be
satisfied with the Plymouth man as
much as he would with Spencer.
Wise is said to be receiving the
spport of Senator Stephen B Fleming
of Fort Wayne for over year presi-
dent of the Association of Indiana
Brewers He is known to he salts
factory to Crawford Fairbanks of
Terre Haute. At the same time it is
said, that he would not be opposed by
Governor Marshall. 1t is said the
Governor and Senator Fleming held
conference a few days ago and
that the Governor said he had no
objections to Wise.

The First Thanksgiving.

The first fixed and official day OF
Thanksgiving was held in the year
1865. In the old public records OF
the court of Connecticut We find the
following order which the court is
sued on October II, 1865, appointing
day of general thanksgiving.
"This court doth appoint a solemn
day of Thanksgiving to be kept
throughout this colony on the last
Wednesday of November, to return
praise to God for His mercy to us in
the continuation of our liberties and
privileges both Civil and Ecclesias-
tick and for our peace and prevent
ing those troubles that we feared by
forriegne enemies and for the bless
ings in the fruits of the earth and
the general healths of the plantations.
1t will be noted that the appointed
day was Wednesday instead of Thurs
day. as we now celebrate. The SPELL
ING is odd in many casses.
