"The fourth senatorial district

A recent Mississippi City special
contains the following important
information:
"a contract has been concluded
with res ponsible party from New

and Ship Island Railroad to Hatties.
burg, and pier 4500 feet long IN
to the gulf to depth of II feet of
water. and furnishing a reasonable
equipment. The contract has been
approved by the court. Ghe con-
tract price Is 5000, 900, in receivers
certificate, bearing Z per cent. in-
terest from the date of issuance
and payable in two years. The lands
along the second twenty miles are
to be sold and the proceeds applied
to retiring certificates in the order
of their issuance. All proper safe
guards are embodied in the contract.
The railroad when built is to be a
completed structure with depots,
sidings, switches water stations, etc.
It looks now as though there is no
doubt as to the success of the en-.
terprise. Colonel w. L. Nugent,
of Jackson, Miss, who represents
the parties in entail, takes hope
full view of the enterprise and says
if he is supported by the people of
the state and encouraged and aid
ed by the Legislature, he will be
able to build the railroad entirely
through the state and thereby con.
tribute largely to the prosperity of
the people. He says that the line
of the railroad traverses the best
part of the state through the finest
pine and hard wood forests to be
found south as we'll as through
large areas of coal and iron lands
and mari and phosphate beds. He
has already demonstrated, by ac-
tual explorations, the existence of
coal, iron and mari and is morally
satisfied as to the phosphate beds.
Actual labor will begin on the
line within fifteen days."

MUCH ATTENTION HURTFUL
Kissing a Baby Does Not Relieve the MaIady That Makes It Cry-Some
 Advice.

If motherhood means anything, it should include the duties of a relation ship dating from the conception Of the child to the close of the life of either mother or child.
 Yet the average mother concerns her self, if not wholly, then chiefly, with min istration to the merely physical needs. of babyhood. saa
 From the time the child leaves her arms the bond of relationship ceases to develop, and with the growing years the child is more and more isolated from mental or spiritual association with the mother
 The inability of the mother to realize her grown up son as anything but her baby" her little boy" has it's senti- mental and poetic side, and is put to ire quent literary use. But that mothers do actually fail so completely to keep in touch and in intelligent and adequate maternal relationship to the child as it develops from babyhood into manhood, is fact to be deplored, not applauded.
 Even during babyhood. the period met With some degree of efficiency by the aV- craze mother, the standard of good moth erhood seems based totally upon con- sideration of the physical needs only of the child.
 consuming passion of maternal ten derness an inordinate vanity, and pro- found ignorance or disregard of hygienc principles is the equipment of the usual mother in her attempt to direct the be- ginning of her child's life.
 A never failing flow of affection, and 90 jealous watchfulness, a hysterical anxi- ety and a generally unbalanced emo tional condition create the mental at mosphere in which the childs nature de- velops
 Baby musn't be allowed to cry minute if any conceivable gymnastics can stop him. This is accepted as a canon of nur- sery government from the beginning. The rule elastically providing that if gymnas- tics fail food may accomplish the sooth- ing effect, or, when the happy infant has attained a month or so of discretion. al lowing him his own way whatever it is, must be resorted to, the high and mighty mandate being that 'the darlin mustn't ky. no indeedy."
 All this is wrong. An outrage to the child's physical and mental and moral
