cEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS.
Every County Between Corinth and
Meridian Represented and the Coun.
ties to the West Showed Up
With Great Strength.

Meridian.-The good roads convention,
which convened in the opera house, ex-
ceeded all expectations in the number
attending, the out-of-town delegates be-
ing fully 500 in number. The meeting
was called to order at = o'clock by Pres.
ident George S. Whitman of the Meri-
dian board OF trade. The address OF
welcome IA delivered by j. NJ, Me-
beath, and the response was made by
K. NJ. Levy of West Point. A temporary
organization was made by the election
Of former State Senator c. c. Dunn of
this city chairman and Mort l.. Bixler Of
this city secretary. The temporary or
ganization was afterward made perma-
nent.
Mayor S. j. Taylor of Jackson being
absent, he was represented by Edgar S.
Wilson, who made a short but telling ad-
dress. Clopton Thomas, secretary of the
Corinth Business League, was the next
speaker, and he was followed in order
by Mayor 4. w. Robbins of Tupels, w.
D. Cook of Forest, Cliff Williams, rep

pointed to take up the work in their re-
spective counties and to report to the

ted were rejected in q note, the full
text of which | take the liberty of lay
ing before you.
Il am led to believe that they were
rejected partly because the authorities
at Mexico City had been grossly mis-
informed and misled upon two points,
They did not realize the spirit of the
American people in this matter, their
earnest friendliness and yet sober de-
termination that some just solution be
found for the Mexican difficulties;
and they did not believe that the
present administration spoke through
Mr.. Lind for the people of the United
States.
"The effect Of this unfortunate mis-
understanding on their part Is to leave
them singularly isolated and without
friends who can effectually aid them.
So long as the misunderstanding con-
tinues, we a only await the time Of
their awakening to a realization Of
the actual facts. We cannot thrust
our good offers upon them. The situa,
ton must be given q little time to
work itself out in the new circum-
stances; and l believe that only a lit
tie while will be necessary. For the
circumstances are new. The rejection
of our friendship makes them new
and will inevitably bring its own al
terations in the whole aspect of af-
fairs. The actual situation OF the au-
thorities at Mexico City will presently
be revealed"
The president concluded:
Il am happy to say that several OF
the great governments of the world
have given this government their gen.
erous moral support in urging upon
the provisional authorities the accept.
ance Of our proffered good offices in
the spirit In which they were made.
At the world expects us to
act as Mexico's nearest friend and
intimate adviser. There Is
nowhere any serious question that we
have the moral right in the case or
that we are acting in the interest of a
fair settlement not for the
promotion of some selfish interest of
our own.
"This consent of mankind in what
we are attempting, this attitude of
the great nations of the world toward
what we may attempt in dealing with
the distressed people at our doors,
should make US feel the more solemn
ly bound to 60 to the utmost length Of
patience and forbearance In the pain.
full and anxious business.
"The steady pressure Of moral force
will before many days break the bar
riers Of pride and prejudice down and
we shall triumph as Mexico's friends
sooner than we could triumph as her
enemies-and how much more hand.

finer satisfaction Of conscience and of
