McGRATH's OPENING.

McGrath's Opening attracted q
Tremendous crowd all day Thursday
and the "Open-air Style Pageant" al
eight in the evening was even better
attended. The store building was SC
Iclosely packed with humanity al
times as to make progress through
1t almost impossible.
The spacious millinery and dress
making salons and the dry goods de-
lpartment were artistically decorated
in the golden hues of autumn, the
beauty of their furnishings being es-
pecially noteworthy. The extensive
display of hats was most interesting,
the most striking fact impressed by
them being, perhaps, the return of
ostrich feather trimming, though not
quite as il was known in former
Years.
| The window displays, the house
furnishing department upstairs, and
the grocery, all wore a gala appear
anee and shared the attention of the
visitors.
Back of the grocery department
was Shiloh, the refreshment room
instituted during the Confederate Re-
union. Here various delicious edi-
bles were served by an able and ac-
commodating staff. A decoration of
pine trees made this apartment es-
pecially inviting and a Gagged coyote
captured on the Mexican border prov
ed fascinating feature to the
small boys.
The Spanish Fort Special a New
Orleans band dispensed good music
Throughout the day.
| The Style Pageant was decidedly
the most ambitious and successful
affair of the kind in the long series
heretofore presented. 1t took place
upon a large stage constructed for
the occasion on the balcony of Nc
Grath's Store.
The handsome architecture of the
building with the added beauty of
autumn leaves in bright colors and
decorative entrances from which the
models entered, made a setting both
distinctive and beautiful for the pre-
sentation of an interesting program
and display of fascinating styles.
| The band played during the parade
lof models, Mines, Blake, Brokaw, O.
Iberschmidt and Misses Ainsworth,
Hubert, Lloyd, McGrath, Phillips,
Parkman, who displayed to fine ad-
Vantage a beautiful and extensive
display of coat suits, coats, street
dresses, afternoon dresses, sport suits
Ievening dresses, wraps, and hats.
lnterspersed with the showing OF
styles were musical numbers as fol-
lows: Moonlight Down in Dixie" by

Suit Against City
For Closing Street

A bill for an injunction restrain
ing the City of Brookhaven from
closing Union Street has been filed
In the Chancery Court Of Lincoln
County, by the property owners liv-
ing north Of this street in the city
The fiat was issued by Judge d. M.
Miller Friday morning granting d
temporary injunction upon the execu-
tion by the complainants OF the bond
In the sum of $500 which was made
The style Of the suit is M. III. Harris
vs.. City Of Broolhaven. It appears
that upon the petition Of some Of the
property owners living in this sec
tion Of the city, the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen passed an ordinance
recently closing this street. The COM
plainants claim that they knew Moth
ing about the petition and were not
represented before the Board when
the matter came up. What action
the city win take is not yet known.
As the Chancery Court will convene
in this county on the third Monday
of next month, the city may wait
until that time to make its motion
for dissolution of the Injunction
and the matter will be fully thrashed
out at that time.

SIMMONS PARDoNED-LIFE
SENTENCE" A M0CKERY.

Governor Bilbo has signed ''mer-
ltorious discharge" for ]. E. Simmons
and Olin Watson, two white convicts
at the suggestion and recommended
tton of the board of trustees of the
penitentiary Simmons was serving
life-term for assault committed in
Lincoln county in June, 1915, and
Watson life term for murder COM
mitted in DeSoto county in July, 19-
16. The reason given by the trustees
is that these convicts went to the
assistance of their guards a few
months ago when Lester, French and
Myers overpowered them in an at
tempt to escape, Myers being killed
and Lester shot. Dispatch.
The dispatch quoted above fails to
state that Simmons victim was his
own little daughter, the case being
well remembered in this county
where Simmons second trial was held
on change of venue from Pike.
While Simmons and Watson's con-
duct in aiding their guards when the
latter were attacked by negro con-
victs was creditable, 1t is no indica-
tion whatever of their fitness to. be
turned loose upon the human society
they have outraged, and Simmons
own family can hardly regard him
with anything but fear and distrust.
We have come in Mississippi, to
a period when a white man need
hardly fear any punishment more se-
rious than a short Imprisonment for
any crime, however heinous. A life
term has ceased to have any serious
meaning.
Perhaps the limiting of the par
don1ng power to say half dozen
pardons a year would check consider
ably the growing contempt for any
sentence pronounced in the courts. In
regard to, convicted criminals, one
would judge that the governor is
more concerned in undoing our pro-
cesses of law than in executing them.
This Simmons and Watson pardon
Representative of scores Of others
given in Mississippi in the past few
years, isn't helping Reconstruction
or discouraging Lynch Law and the
tendency Of individuals to avenge
their wrongs personally. Its .iniluen-
ces are all in the wrong direction.

ments made on their direct examina.
attempted to have these statements
ruled out but the court refused to
take any action in the matter at this
stage Of the trial. Mrs. Louis Smith
and other witnesses were also called
and testified to the condition of the
body at the time of its preparation
for burial, the fact that the neck ap-
peared to be broken, the discolora-
tions on the neck and face, and some
of them stated that the hair pins in
the back hair of tho dead woman
were badly bent, as though they had
been struck by some blunt instru-
ment.
Pink Smith, the third witness ex-
amined by the state Friday morning
stated that he had held a conversa-
tion with Clyde Thames prior to the
death OF Mrs. Thames, in which the
defendant had stated to him in de-
tail his relation with certain young
lady In the neighborhood Their re-
lations, according to the witness
were known to Mrs. Thames and
caused trouble between her and her
husband, Clyde Thames. The theory
of the state is that Thames was in
fatuated with this other woman in
the case, and disposed of his wife in
order to marry her. The theory of
the defense is that the dead woman
broke her neck in the fall after be-
ing stricken with heart failure.
DR.. r.. I. Conn, the next witness
for theTstate, County Health officer
of Lawrence County, testified that he
exhumed the body of Mrs. Thames
under an order from Judge Miller,
and that he found the neck very linn
Der, and when the body was lifted I'D
the head dropped over. He also
stated that the spinal cord was brok-
en- just at the base of the skull, and
that he made several incisions in the
vertabrae to find the lower end of 1t
but failed. He said he found a sepa-
ration between the bones of the YER
tebrae at the base of the skull about
one-half inch wide.
The salient facts, that have been
brought out by the evidence are as
followss Mrs. Thames died very sud
denly on August 7th, 1919, at her
home in this county, her body was
buried the following day at Antioch
Church Cemetery in Lawrence coun-
ty;, there were certain suspicious cir
cumstances connected with her death
noticed by the ladies who prepared
the body for burial and the state
ment Of the little daughter that "Pa-
pa killed mama with the stock of the
gun" and there were things that
caused the father of the dead wo-
man to seek an order of the court
for a post mortem examination; that
the defendant and his wife had trou-
Bile between them, the evidence in the
case seeming to indicate that his re-
(lationS with the other woman was
the cause. The testimony of the
physician as to his findings at the
grave emphasized the case for the
state.
District Attorney Hugh v. Wall,
County Attorney J. w. McNair, and
Hon. G. Wood Magee of Monticello
are representing the state. The de-
fense is represented by Messrs. Maui

The case of the State Of Mississippi
VS.. Clyde Thames. charged with the
murder of his wife, Mrs. Ida Herring
Thames, on August 7th, 1919. now
on trial in the Circuit Court of Lin
coin County, continues to hold the
center of interest over all other mat
ters, throughout the city and coun-
ty, where the principal actors in the
tragedy are we'll known. On the o.
pening day of the court, Thursday.
September 18th, the court room was
literally packed with humanity, all
eager and intent to catch every word
uttered in connection with the trial.
1t was impossible to seat all those
present, but the spectators were per-
mitted by the court to stand in ev-
cry available place they were able to
find. A jury was secured much ear
lier in the progress of the case than
was at first thought to be possible,
owing to the widespread publicity
given to the case,, but both sides an
nounced satisfied with the jury be-
fore the noon hour on Thursday, and
District Attorney Hugh v. Wall ask
ed the court for leave to talk with
the states witnesses for a time in
order to determine the order in which
he would introduce them, and this
permission being granted, the court
then took recess until 1880 p. m.
The following men compose the
jury now hearing the case who will
soon have to pass upon the guilt or
innocence of the accused:
G. w. Newton, j. r. Ratcliff, w.
D. Rutland, H. c. Quinn, L. T. Min
ton, E1lzey Wallace, F. e. Stanley,
T. M. Wooley, O. c.. Trimble, w. L.

The first witness for the state in
troduced at the afternoon session was
DR.. Jesse L. Smith, a chiropractor,
who was one of the first persons to
reach the Thames home otter the
death of Mrs. Thames. DIR. Smith
testified that he found Mrs. Thames
dead upon his arrival, and that he
noticed the scratches and discolora-
tions on the face and neck; that the
body was lying on the bed upon its
back, when he first saw it. The at,
torneys for the defense put DR.. Smith
through a. grilling cross examination

This testimony was corroborated by
