We are pleased to note that through
the exertions of the Spectator aud the
people of Mayersville, Miss, Hampton
Station raail route will be substituted
for the impossible Rolling Fork road
to secure the delivery of the daily mail
to Providence which completely failed
some weeks ago. We tip our beaver
to our neighbors over the river for
their successful efforts in securing to
US again the great convenience of daily
communication with the outside world.

Clarksdale Banner.
There are about $50 voters in Har-
rison county disfranchised, and of this
number 500 are white men, the re-
mainder colored. This all comes
about because these men did not pay
their taxes before the first Of this
month. That is certainly bad show
ing for old Democratic Harrison.
Jackson county Is still the banner
Democratic county of the Sea Coast.
The disfranchised voters under the
new Constitution, are loud in their
condemnation of the Constitutional
Convention. We were not stuck on
the thing ourself, but every voter
should pay his taxes and help sustain
the Government. 1t is no use to kick;
II you don't pay taxes, you can't vote,
that is all.-Democrat-Star.
Bolivar and other Delta counties are
exercised over the right of Boards Of
Supervisors granting liquor petitions
under the new Constitution. We are
of the opinion of many Of our news
paper contemporaries, That the Board
can simply act under the old law until
new registration Is had, for it was
not the intention Of the trainers OF
this new law to adopt prohibition. To
follow the language of that law no
man could procure license TO retail
hquor until a new registration was
completed. We do not believe grand
| Jury in this county will take cognisancc
of such cases, when man is retailing
under license granted him on petit
ton of a majority Of citizens Of bis
district, because those who are now
registered by the Board until a new
registration Is completcd.-Tocsin.

The company has very large supply
IL has purchased 1850 acres OF the
finest gravel lands of Amite county on
the l.. N. O. & L. Railroad about ninc-
ty miles from this city. The gravel
beds have been examined, and Dr
Jones of New Orleans has furnished
an analysis OF the gravel. He pro-
nounces II very valuable concreting
gravel. The supply is almost mex
baustible, and the company has been
formed SO as to procure the gravel aud
supply Il to consumers at the least
cost. Some of the streets Of New Or.
leans have already been improved
with 1t, and il gives great satisfaction
This Is a commendable Southern IN
dustry, for nothing Is more important

improvement of our public and private
