1t is said the Mississippi Mills Com
pany promise liberal things i'll the
way of helping to secure the location
of the Methodist College at WessOn.
The citizens of the town and vicinity,
outside the Mills Company, have al
ready subscribed $4,000 to this OBJ
.ject, and as the Mills own 80 per cent.
of the property of the town, it would
seem as little as they could do, to give
$25 900 more. If the college comes
there, they will sell 80 per cent.
of the lots and rent 80 per cent. of the
houses to the new population it will
bring. Capt. Oliver, Treasurer of
the Company, is interested in the
largest store there, and he will also get
his full share of the increased trade it
will bring. This is only the cold,
business view of it, to say nothing of
the duty the Mills Company owes to
the poor boys working for them, and
which cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents. Yes, brother Oliver should
do his full part in this matter, and
knowing him to be public-spirited
and of kindly and generous impulses,
we have no doubt but that when the
time comes he will do the right and
handsome thing.

Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, who led the
bolt of the Iowa delegation from the
National w. G. II. U. Convention, is
a dangerous woman, and it is a good
thing the National Union is rid OF
her. What she means by non par
tisan w. C. Il. U. is one that is run
chiefly in the interest of the Republi-
can party, which is high license par
ty and in secret league with the liquor
traffic. Mrs. Foster took the stump
for the Republican party in the last
National campaign. and her husband
was given a good fat Office under Har-
rison in recognition of the valuable
services she rendered by knitting the
Prohibition party. No wonder she
believes so strongly in non -partisan(D
methods.

wesson the Place for the. Meth
odist College.

odist College.
As BroOkhaven is not q competitor
for the location of the proposed
Methodist College, the LEADER in be-
half of our people, wishes to join in
the petition of Wesson for its location
ut that thriving town. Wess6n is the
only place south of the Nicksburg Il
Meridian Railroad competing for the
College, and there are many reasons
why it should he awarded the prize,
some of which we will mention.
|. North Mississippi has all the
State Colleges, male and female, and
Central Mississippi the deservedly
celebrated Baptist College at Clinton,
while South Mississippi has no white
male College at all.
2. On account of its healthfulness
and unsurpassed moral and religious
influences. WessOn has the largest
churches and Sabbath schools in the
State, and is guaranteed perpetual
immunity from the demOralizing
liquor traffic by every piece of real
estate sold there having II prohibition
clause in the deed. This cOnsidera-
ton alone should place it ahead of
every other town in the State as the
most suitable location for male
college.
3. One of the primary objects of
the College being to afford poor but
deserving young men and boys an
opportunity to obtain an education,
nowhere else in the State would this
end be so effectually accomplished.
Besides the hundreds of worthy
young men and boys now engaged i'll
the Mississippi Mills who would thus
have the opportunity of college
education brought to their door,
scores and hundreds of others in
different parts of the State could come
to Wesson from time to time, and by
alternately working in the great
Mississippi Mills and attending
school, be enabled to obtain col
legiate education, and thus become
ornaments to society and useful citi-
zens Of the State. "a beggar's book
outworths mobiles blood"
/. NELSON'S close proximity to oul
one renowned Whitworth College
would enable parents to send THEN
sons to one of the Methodist Colleges
and their daughters to the other, and
yet have them practically together,
the distance between Wesson and
Brookhaven being only 8 miles-15
minutes by rail.
5. Wesson will offer as great tinan-
cial inducements for the location OF
the College as any other town i'll the
State, and all necessary building
materials such as sand, brick, the
finest pine lumber, ETC., right at
hand, cheaper than can be obtained al
any other competing point. This,
while not the chief consideration, is
nevertheless very important one
and taken in connection with the other
reasons we have given, ought certain
ly to give Wesson the precedence in
the estimation of the locating commit
tee over all competitors. Many
other reasons might be given in favor
of Wesson, such as its accessibility by
rail from all points in the State, its
water works, electric lights, etc, but
it seems to us the ones mentioned
above are all-suffcient and cover the
ground.

A good Baptist brother who Is in
hearty accord with the effort to secure
the loca tien of the Methodist College
at WesSon, says if the leaders of that
denomination have their wits about
them they will certainly give Wesson
the College and begin the industrious
cultivation of this part of the moral
vineyard. The Baptists, says he,
have about taken South Mississippi,
and " Mefodists are nightly in de
grass, nightly in dc grass"

Let the next Legislature give us Il
Prohibition statute covering the
whole State, and then all the plague
spots where saloons now exist will be

the people have driven out the saloon

saying some communities are not
ready for such a law. Law is great

Let Us Help WessOn Get the
College.


College.
As Brookhaven herself is not n
competitor, she should lend a willing
hand and do every thing in her power
to help her neighbor Wesson to secure
the location of the Methodist College.
Wesson is the only town south of
jackson bidding for it, and her people
are working bravely fol- the prize.
The citizt MS of the town have already
subscribed $4,000, and to this the
subscription of the Mississippi Mills
Company Is yet to he added.
At first blush, the mistaken notion
might he reached that to help Wes-
son in this matter is working against
our own town and county, but a little
reflection will convince one that this IS
not true. In the first place, Brook
haven not being competitor, the
chance of her getting the prize is
utterly out of the question. That
being 50, if it is granted that the
college and fine educational advan-
tages are good things, it is desirable
to have them as near BroOkhaven as
possible.
Again, we already have the best
Methodist female college in the State.
That is fixture, and is conceded to
be Il great advantage to the town.
A Methodist male college at Wesson
would increase the popularity and at
tendance of Whitworth, because pa
rents having both sons and daughters
to educate, would naturally want them
as near together as practicable.
While many families would locate at
Wesson to educate their sons and
would board their daughters at Whit
worth, others would locate at Brook
haven, send their daughters to Whit
worth as day pupils, and board their
sons at Wesson, and Brookhaven's
population and trade would be cores
pondingly increased as well as Wes-
sons. The two towns would enjoy
the reputation abroad of being great
twin educational centres.
Again, boys going to College at
Wesson, would be continually visiting
their sisters or other relatives at
Wllitworth or in town, often spending
their Saturdays here, and in this
way many dollars would find their
way into our merchants tills that
would not get there if the male col
lege were located at jackson or some
other rolf point.
Moreover, Wesson is i'll a sense
a Lincoln county town. Scores OF the
citizens of this county do their mar
keting and trading there now and
will always do SO. The location OF
the college there will greatly increase
their market advantages, and as they
prosper, so will the taxable property
of the county be increased. Indeed,
by being clever toward Wesson in this
matter it is not Improbable that we
may persuade her to consent to
a change of county boundaries and
get her added bodily with her mil
lions of wealth, to the tax-lists OF
Lincoln.
This is a matter worthy the considera-
tion of every citizens of our town, land
We hope they will not only give Yves
sons effort to obtain the college all
the moral support possible, but that
an active movement will be started to
help out her subscription also. The
time is growing short and our Citi-
Zens' Association could not do better,
it seems to us, than to take this
matter in hand at its next meeting
and actively push it.
