effects OF malaria caused by alleged bad

also traced to the same cause. The doctors

Proposed Feeders for the Chicago,
St Louis & New Orleans Railroad.
New Orleans Democrat.


The Chicago, ST. Louis and New Orleans
railroad, more familiarity known as the Jack
son road, occupies one of the most favorable
positions Imaginable with reference to the
great contest for the carrying trade South
ward to New Orleans. 1t is a tirst-class
road, thoroughly equipped, with longitu-
dlnal reach of about one thousand miles dl-
rect to Chicago, and with many valuable
connections on the way. 1t has been man
aged with ability, is on a paying basis, and
Is stripped of all embarras5ments and clogs.
The serious opening Of the struggle finds it
prepared to enter the arena under the most
suspicious conditions.
The time has clearly come when the Jack
son road, if it would fulfil its manifest des-
tiny, must begin to provide itself with arms
reaching out into the rich districts contigu
Gus to its route At present it holds a COM
manding position. With comparatively
small expense it can now levy upon son.e of
the most fertile regio4.of the s0uth-regions
which are anxious to obtain direct connec-
ton with New Orleans, and to make which
tributary there will be no need of combat
ing produces or thwarting natural tenden-
cies.
To begin with-there is the projected
branch from Brookhaven TO Port Gibson,
running through a cotton country and there
Nicksburg
Next, the branch from Canton to Yazoo
City, connecting with Greenville and thus
giving direct rail communication to Ar
kansas City aud Monticello and tc Pine
Bluff, Little Rock and Fort Smith. The
Importance of this connection tapping as it
does the very heart and kernel of the valley
cotton belt cannot be over-estimated. The
trade which might be secured thereby is
simply incalculable
Again, there Is tue extension of the Kosci-
nsko branch, through to Starkville and
West Point thereby connecting with Aber-
deem and the territory traversed by the
Mobile and Ohio road-and-
Lastly, the projection northeast from
Brookhaven to Meridian. thereby tapping
a centre of tremendous cotton production
and securing connections with the great
Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee systems,
to say nothing Of the great Alabama cGal
regions, which are annually growing ia i'm
portanGe-
