Great Britianis naval program
for the next two years does not
include the construction Of any
new war ships. With Germany
eliminated as naval power,
there is no apparent reason for
further expenditures in the naval
departments Of either the British
or American governments. All
the world wants peace, the demob-
ilization and disarmament Of ar
mics, the breaking UP of navies,
and relief from the burdensome
and unnecessary expense of a
military system. A properly or
galnized league Of nations or CEN
tralized international government
might relieve the world from the
curse Of it's militarism.

A SUGGESTION OR TWO TO
SAW MILL OPERATORS

While we are on the Subject of
Good Roads, l would like to offer
a suggestion or so to the saw mill
owners, which if they follow, l am
sure they will win back some OF
the good feelings Of the public
that have been lost during the
winter.
By way of introduction to the
matter l would like to say that
no one saw mill which uses a
stretch of important public road
every day by hauling from six to
fifteen heavily loaded wagons of
green lumber can claim that the
beat teams should keep that
stretch of road up for him.
Now, my principle suggestion
is this: Put one man on the
road all the time with shovel, q
saw, a hammer, and some nails.
If three saw mills use the same
road, let each mill furnish q hand
every day on the road. Now if
this could be done for the public
only, the mill man might have a
little reason to object, but he will
save many times the cost of the
road. He will not wear out his
teams and harness so quickly, and
he can haul much larger loads to
the railroad.
This hand can work when the
roads are dry, and when they are
wet. When they are dry he can
fill every hole, (which if untitled
would eventually become a lob
Jolly perhaps three feet deep and
as wide as the road. (Just such as
we have now on the Monterey
road.) A hole as big as my hat
today may be as big as small
pond in two or three months if
neglected. On rainy days this
hand can drain the standing wa
ter off the road, and often by lift-
ing few shovels of dirt can
change a drain from off the road
and start it down its proper
course.
My next suggestion to the mill
men is to stay off the road for q
day or two after rain.
/ am sure every man, woman
and child in the county will en-
dorse what / have said above. If
the mill men have any objection
| can't see where it can come
from.

few days ago for treatment at the

A man tells of an editor who
started poor 20 years ago and has
retired with the comfortable
fortune of $4,000. This money
was acquired through industry,
economy, conscientious efforts to
give full value, indomitable perse-
verance, and the death of an uncle
who left the editor $49,999.5O.
It's a strenuous life in Ger
many these days, but there are
consultations. A cablegram says
that because of strikes and vio-
lence, hotel guests have nothing
to wash with but wine. Just
think, men, if Henry Barnes
should have a strike at his power
plant and be compelled to fill his
water pipes with wine OR beer,
what a time we would have
bathing!
The navy department, in offer
ing $50 submarine chasers for
sale, is satisfied that no more
"chasers" will be necessary until
the prohibitory amendment to the
federal constitution shall have
been stricken from the grand in
strument that is the foundation
of American Jurisprudence.
A return to the simple life is
recommend as a cure for martial
infdelity. Our pace is too rapid,
and the glitter Of easy gold too
fascinating. The demands Of So
'ciety are too near the verge of
prudence. Let us knock the
golden calf" from it's pedestal
and put in it's place the open
bible.

HAWKE HELD TO BE INSANE
New Trial, Set for Monday, Is
Granted by Jury in
Newton County

Decatur, Miss, April l.
George Hawie, charged with the
murder of his sweetheart, Annie
Belle Seany, in Rankin county in
November, 1913, was adjudged in
sane and granted a new trial at
10 A. M. today by a jury in the
Newton county circuit court.
Monday was set as the date for
the new trial in which a plea of
insanity will be entered by the at
torneys for the defense. It is ex-
pected that Hawie will be ordered
confined in the State Insane Hos
pital.
The action of the Newton county
jury in declaring Hawie insane
brings almost to a close a case
that has attracted widespread in
terest because of the sensational
fight made by brother. of the
condemned man, Ashad Hawie,
recipient Of five foreign decora-
tions for bravery, who raised
funds to fight the case by deliver
ing war lectures throughout the
state.
The soldier-hero retained Judge
L. M. Burch, of Jackson, as coun-
sci and began a speaking tour OF
the state to raise necessary funds
to get a new trial. Judge Burch
entered for the first time in the
history of Mississippi the ancient
writ of coram nobis upon which
the new trial was obtained.
That Hawie was insane at the
time of the deed, at1bhe time OF
his trial when he was found gull
ty and sentenced to hang and is
now insane, was the testimony OF
well-knowtn alienistsA DR.. ]. H.
Fox and DR.. Nolan Steward, of
jackson; DR.. NJ. J. L. Hoye Of the
East Mississippi Insane Hospital
at Meridian, and DR.. A. w. Ander-
son, of Illinois the latter declar-
ing Hawie had been insane and
had undergone no mental growth
since he was six years old.
The case was represented in the
trial by D. w. Anderson, district
attorney, and Stanley Majors, at
torney for Newton county, while
the defense was conducted by
Judge L. M. Burch and P. G.
Brown.
The case was hard fought.

GOLD ORE OF $3.50
TON ASSAY found
AFTER LONG EFFORT
At WARREN CAMP
Adams and Martin Reported
to Have Made Rich Discov-
cry in Idaho County Field
Big Find Is on Washington
Greek; 1500-Foot Tunnel to
Tap Vein at 900-Ft, Depth

A rich gold strike recently was
made in the Warren district by Wal
ter v Martin and E. P. Adams, af-
ter months of prospecting, according
to apparently reliable information
received in Grangeville this week.
Assays of ore taken from the dis
trict viii go $500 in gold to the ton,
it is reported. The discovery was
made on Washington creek, tribu
tary to Warren creek, about two miles
from the town of Warren.
The ledge, it is said, is the mother
lode of the camp, running through the
property for distance of five claims,
or 1900 feet The tracing of rich float
and hard work brought forth what
the placer miners left behind twenty
years ago. The rich stringers and
feeders of the Warren camp are at
tributed to this ledge, it is thought,
and at a depth the big ledge may
widen to eight feet. Great expecta-
tions are hoped by. the owners to be
realized, this being the richest strike
made in the Warren district, and a
15OO-foot tunnel will tap the vein at
the 900-fOot depth.
